She dated The Amazing Spider-Man co-star, Andrew Garfield from 2011 to early-2014. The two are still great friends.
She was then linked to Narcos co-star Sebastian Vega (2015-2016) before being proven wrong when rumours and evidence of her dating co-star and long-time friend Pedro Pascal (2017) surfaced.
The pair, Pedro Pascal and Y/n L/n had confirmed their relationship via Instagram. They've been reported to have started dating in early 2015, 3-years after being introduced by mutual friend Sarah Paulson.

Writeblr Introduction (finally): N. Roy / words-after-midnight
Because I've been here since December and still haven't posted one of these.
Tumblr media
[Updated 22-07-2023]
About me:
I'm Nico (he/him), a 32-year-old chemist moonlighting as an author of dark adult contemporary crime fiction and horror. I'm based in Tio'tia:ke, colonially known as Montreal, where I live with my 10-year-old cat Saturday and most of my chosen family and friends. I plan to publish under a pen name similar to the one on my blog (ie. not my real name - I like to keep my different "lives" separate). You can read more about me here. I love tag games and ask games and interacting with folks on here! I especially love the Find the Word and Last Line/Heads Up Seven Up games, so please never feel like you're annoying me by tagging me in those. I also love any and all music tags!
What I write:
My novel-length projects - 95% what I talk about on this blog in terms of my writing - are predominantly (though not exclusively) in the realm of adult contemporary crime fiction, usually in combination with horror, thriller, docufiction, and/or psychological fiction. All of my novel-length works take place in the same universe, and are all - either directly or indirectly - connected to each other.
My short fiction is typically either contemporary litfic, slice-of-life, crime/procedural, or experimental horror. Most of my existing short fiction is currently being submitted for publication (or in the process) to various literary periodicals.
I write and submit freestyle poetry on occasion.
My forte is writing well-developed, messy, typically queer characters who exist on a continuum between morally gray to morally bankrupt, as well as complex, intense, and/or dark relationship dynamics. Other things I love writing and featuring in my stories include:
Small casts (I typically focus on 1-3 central characters)
Symbolism, motifs, and foreshadowing
Found/chosen families and homes
Exploration of dark real-world themes, including themes involving mental illness, trauma, and recovery
Intense and/or introspective narration
Faster-paced narratives
Trope subversion
Social commentary
Experimental narrative styles
Unconventional formatting
Genre-blending
Complicated endings
What I read (with some exceptions here and there):
Crime thrillers/dramas
Psychological thrillers/dramas
Contemporary horror (not into supernatural or fantasy horror unless the premise and/or themes are very intriguing)
Litfic with darker plots/character relationships
Mysteries (especially murder mysteries)
Dystopian and/or realistic speculative science fiction
My projects:
I currently have three active WIPs, which you can read more about under the cut. You can also find general information about all my projects here.

Art wonderfully crafted by the magnificent @/tzimisce!!! [tysm again - I love her to Enoch and back :)] Woe, Pack Priest be upon ye...

Tumblr media
TIDBITS
She's friends with @styxnbones' Peona. Montreal Tzimisce buddies with conflicting Paths of Enlightenment😎🐉
OCD is a fairly common affliction for the Family, and Ida is no different.
Born and raised in Montreal, Québec - Ida has almost always preferred the quiet life to the hustle and bustle it no doubt provides for many a person elsewhere. This isn't exactly uncommon for the Family, who're a group of reclusive scholars loyal to the Tzimisce, and as such her parents were content to homeschool her away from the public eye.
This didn't have any ramifications on her socialization skills. None whatsoever.
A mixture of having taken a genuine interest in her chosen fields of study [mostly supernatural related quirks of the blood. Changelings, Vitae, Lupine blood, etc. etc. ] -often to the detriment of other things- & having an Eidetic Memory lead to many-a-breakthrough on her end.
In addition to her having shown signs of having been a revenant, her parents believed that they had something special with her and, as such, exchanged letters with a Tzimisce [and former cousin] interested in sponsoring her Embrace... -------
While she's perfectly capable of defending herself or reveling in sanguine succor should the situation calls for it, Ida is probably the only member of the pack that isn't on a martial bent. She prefers the time she gets to spend locked away with ancient tomes or helping prep for the Sword of Caine's festivals to, say, engaging in War Parties or the Wild Hunt.
Ida would prefer that the main body of the clan -and everyone who abides by their rulings- would carefully dissect every choice they make and refrain from haphazardly damning the rest of the clan even further than they already are, playing devils advocate like the Children are want to do: make them consider the weight of their actions and consider the responsibility that intrinsically comes with as much sway as they do.
Barring Noddism, of which she and Luther have [good naturedly] debated one another about the semantics of for hours on end, her expertise in life veered toward [supernatural] quirks of the blood: Ghouls, Revenants, trying to figure out what on earth makes changeling blood as fucked up as it is when they aren't visibly distinguishable in the slightest from everyone else, etc. etc.
Would love to get her hands on a Lupine's corpse for study but, for a plethora of reasons, it's extremely Unlikely. The handful of times the pack has been Dog tagging they trend towards leaving the damnable creature where they found it - Ida, without fail, asking a one (1) time if she can bring it back to the haven. M.J., without fail, will pretend to humor the idea and put a pin in the conversation with a resounding "No."
MERITS / BACKGROUNDS / FLAWS
Pain Tolerance [2 Point Merit] [Source: Guide to the Clans] She turned off her nerves through Vicissitude :)
Grand Library [2, 4, 6, or 7 Point Merit] [Source: The Black Hand: A Guide to the Tal'Mahe'ra] Throughout the years, you've managed to amass an exquisite collection of books, both common and rare. Her personal library, housed in her home domain of Montreal, is dutifully maintained by members of her former mortal family. Any books she and their pack can't lug around on their travels, she has sent back to the library for proper sorting and cataloguing.
Eidetic Memory [2 Point Merit] You remember, with perfect detail, things you see and hear. Documents, photographs, conversations, etc., can be committed to memory with only minor concentration...
Language [Latin, Byzantine Greek, French.] [3 Points of Merits] [Source: V20 Corebook] Self explanatory :)
Retainer [1 Dot Background] She has a singular Revenant, a distant cousin of hers by the name of Colin Obertus, who helps her with her studies & helps the pack maintain their Haven. [Barring her own room, which she insists upon maintaining herself]
RITAE [She is the Pack Priest, after all.]
All 13 Auctoritas Ritae
Allegiance Ritus
Before the Acceptance Ritus occurs, a vampire already Embraced but not yet Sabbat must go through the Allegiance Ritus. This ritus is especially important for Camarilla defectors. The Allegiance Ritus is long and involved, and it may go on for years before the recruit is permitted the Acceptance Ritus and welcomed as a full member of the sect. Part of the process involved the implanting of a secret mark on the body of the defector (a tattoo, scar, brand, etc.) through the use of Vicissitude so it will be permanent. Before receiving this *ritus*, the initiate must sit or stand to the rear of his packmates during auctoritas ritae. He must drink last at the vaulderie, and may not contribute himself. He may not read or discuss passages from the *Book of Nod* aloud. The time involved in confirming the initiate's commitment to the Sabbat makes it all the more difficult for him to leave the sect.
Acceptance Ritus
This ritus welcomes a new member to a particular pack, to recognize the ascension of a recruit, or any time a change in power or membership occurs (such as a new Ductus or Pack Priest). Each member of the pack must recognize the new position of their fellow Sabbat in a personal manner, be it by sharing blood, the giving of a gift, or whatever. The Sabbat being accepted must make an oath of allegiance to each member of the pack, and to the Sabbat cause in general. The Acceptance Ritus differs from the Creation Rites because it is more social than supernatural. A Sabbat may have received his Creation Rites, but may be snubbed by a pack that refuses to extend him the ritus of acceptance.
Contrition Ritus
Even Sabbat commit sins and indiscretions, for which they sometimes need to atone. The Contrition Ritus allows for this, much in the same manner a Catholic confession works. This ritus is perhaps the most important of the ignobilis ritae, as many Inquisitors, Black Hand operatives, Pack Priests, and Ducti offer a choice of contrition or death to Sabbat who have committed wrongs upon the Sect. All sensible Sabbat take these ritae as seriously as they would any other, for only by the grace of their betters can they continue to exist. Of course, many disingenuous Sabbat may make an insincere act of contrition, but they might not be extended the option next time.
Stealth Ritus
In the interests of maintaining silence, some packs take extra precautions and invoke favorable omens. In the Stealth Ritus, all participating vampires bite out each other’s tongues and spit them into a fire. Though this causes no health levels of damage, the immediate bleeding and healing consumes one blood point. The Pack Priest or Ductus usually bows out so he can issue orders, but some packs have developed complex hand signal systems so they may communicate silently while on stealth-intensive activities
Tumblr media
LORE QUOTES FOR CLARIFICATION:
The Children of the Dracon
A bizarre knightly order of Tzimisce vampires, the Children of the Dracon seem to bear more Hellenic features than the Slavic heritage of Clan Tzimisce suggests. The Children seem to be a cultural division, almost like a bloodline, but the distinction is more artificial than that which would be caused by a deviation of vitae. The exact agenda of the Children of the Dracon is unknown, but they seem to be at intellectual odds with the rest of the Tzimisce. Perhaps this is due to some past transgression, or perhaps it lies in the difference of mortal stock from which the vampires were originally drawn. Whatever the case, the Children of the Dracon do not antagonize the other Tzimisce, so much as they take a consistent role of the Devil's Advocate. If the Tzimisce favor a siege, the Children posit the values of holding back; if the Fiends support the Inquisition, the Children argue against giving any faction too much power. Although this seems arbitrary, the Children seem to see themselves as the warders of their brothers. Apparently, sometime in the mists of history, a Tzimisce made a decision that affected the entirety of his clan (perhaps resulting the clan's odd weakness). The Children of the Dracon have sworn to make the Tzimisce consider the full gravity of their actions... or perhaps atone for them. The Tzimisce report that no Child of the Dracon has ever held the title of voivode in the clan, and that the Children are either incapable of learning their koldunic magic or they steadfastly refuse to. This distinction means little outside the clan and faction, and others regard it as a curious family affair.
...Before the Embrace, the Children leave the monastery to study the “12 legacies” — precepts of the order — with various enclaves across the globe. Then, they return to their monastery of origin to be Embraced. If the initiate is an Akoimetai, he is entrusted with one volume from the Library of the Forgotten.... Confirmed in the order, the new Child of the Dracon departs to establish himself within Sabbat society...
The Children of the Dracon organize themselves much like a monastic order, with “scions” establishing monasteries made up primarily of their own broods. The monasteries coordinate their activities through the Hagia Sophia, a Dracon Vatican of sorts somewhere around the Mediterranean. The scholarly wing of this order, the Akoimetai, is drawn almost exclusively from a branch of the Obertus revenant family...

Chapter Updates: Masterlist
Tumblr media
Author’s notes: I’m a good person.
Chapter One
Paparazzi
“I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me.” — Lady Gaga
“C’mon, man, it’s gonna be fun.” Jared said while flipping through his phone, focused on his task of calling an Uber.
“Are you serious? I haven’t slept all night. There’s no way I’m going.” Jensen rubbed his eyes, running the same hand through the stubble on his cheek in an effort to keep himself awake.
“What is it with you and going to sleep late every night?” Jared questioned, attention still reserved to his phone’s screen.
“I didn’t! I tried to go to bed early but that stupid fucking door wouldn't open.” Jensen’s voice raised in aggravation in the middle of the hotel lobby. His anger at what had happened the evening before hadn’t left him yet.
After arriving at the hotel in the late afternoon with his fellow cast mates for a convention in Montreal, all Jensen wanted was to get some dinner and retire to his bedroom for the good night of sleep that he hasn’t had in a long couple of weeks. But, of course, that wasn’t what destiny had in mind for him.
Checking in was a bitch, the desk clerk was the most annoying man with the most annoying french accent. And, as usual, ‘there was a problem with their system’, so he had to wait almost an hour to get the keycard for his room. Meanwhile, all the other people that were checking in at the same time as him had no problem.
Once he did get his room key, everyone was waiting for him to go to dinner so he didn’t have time to put his luggage inside his room, being forced to leave it in the lobby, which was just great. On top of that, the good people of Montreal apparently have a tendency to eat a little later, so he had to wait a long while to be served at the restaurant, culminating with him stuffing himself with bread and spoiling the dinner he had been looking forward to. And, because none of that was enough, once he got back to the hotel, the godforsaken key to the godforsaken door of his godforsaken room wouldn't work.
The same desk clerk with the same annoying accent tried to open the door with his master keycard and that didn’t do shit either. The hotel had the audacity to have all of its rooms booked except for the presidential suite, which was offered to him free of charge for the distress, and in retrospect, that does sound nice, but at the time that didn’t even register to him.
It was at that point that Jensen decided that he was going to go to sleep, in that room, one way or another. And he did end up doing just that, after having to kick a literal hole in the door in order for the damn thing to open.
“Yeah, that was funny.” Jared chuckled at the memory and looked up at Jensen, noticing the dark circles under the man’s eyes and the sullen look on his face. “Anyways, maybe it’s a good thing you’re not coming. You look like hammered shit.”
“Thanks.” Jensen replied, offering Jared a humorless smile.
“Ok, gotta go, the car will be here in less than a minute.” Jared put his phone in the back pocket of his jeans, somehow excited to go out, even in the cold-ass Canadian winter and after having spent his whole day at the convention with Jensen. Granted, he hadn’t had the same night as him. “Dude, let’s go.” He nodded towards the exit, calling for Misha, who was waiting in one of the lobby’s couches and promptly got up to leave as well.
“Alright, you ladies have fun.” Jensen said to them, receiving Jared’s middle finger as his goodbye.
As he watched his friends’ departure, the thought of going to bed early and being able to sleep in flashed through Jensen’s mind and he smiled to himself.
On his way to the elevator, he noticed that a different receptionist was working at the desk, rapidly typing something on the keyboard that was in front of her while also talking to one of the hotel guests. Once he pressed the button to call for the elevator, he had time to look at the girl for a bit longer. She was very easily multitasking, working out whatever was happing on the computer and eloquently speaking to the person she was assisting, giving them an appealing smile. She was pretty and seemed nice, what a shame it wasn’t her working the day before rather than the other guy.
As if she could feel his gaze on her, her eyes shifted in his direction and his automatic response was to look away, feeling ashamed at being caught staring. The elevator had stopped on the second floor and didn’t appear to have any intention of moving anytime soon. Jensen impatiently pressed the button again, knowing full well that it wouldn’t help, but doing it anyway. He glanced at her once more and was surprised to find her still looking at him, a knowing smirk appearing on her lips then.
He had this funny feeling as he took her in; her face shape and hair color, her stature and overall posture. He felt like he’d seen her before, knew her from somewhere, but couldn't quite pinpoint it.
A ringing sound brought his attention back to the elevator that had just arrived entirely empty. He got in and pressed his floor number, that persistent notion that he was forgetting something important still lingering. Had he seen her at the hotel before and just couldn't recall? He was quite tired from all of the sleep deprivation and a long day’s work, who could fault him for not remembering a face amongst the staff of this big place? Yeah, that was probably it.
After arriving on his floor, he went straight to his suite, walking down a corridor with many room doors on either side, the only one with a huge hole in it being very hard to miss.
Upon entering, without any problems this time, he immediately let out a heavy sigh and went to sit down on the edge of the bed, making quick work of removing his shoes. He got up, feeling the coldness of the hardwood floor against the sole of his bare feet, and started walking towards the small round table placed in front of the TV, fingers moving to unbutton the shirt he had on. After it was gone, he simply tossed it on top of the couch across the room, not caring one bit if it got wrinkled. He picked up his phone from the table, unlocking it with his fingerprint, and speed-dialing his wife.
“Hey, babe.” Danneel’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Hi, honey, just calling to check in. How was your day?” Jensen instantly smiled after hearing her, just that simple greeting being enough to brighten up his mood.
“All good. How was yours?”
“Shit, actually. Today wasn’t fun at all.” He let her know, turning on the speakerphone and placing the device back on the table. “Did I send you that picture of the door I had to kick in?”
“Yeah, I got that text. What the hell was that about?” Her words echoed across the room as Jensen moved towards his suitcase and began to open it.
“That was the end of my night yesterday, very demonstrative, wasn’t it?” He was now searching for a comfortable pair of sweatpants in the mess of clothes his luggage consisted of.
“To say the least.” She replied. “Did you have a good time at the convention, though?”
“Oh, it was okay, I was just so tired that I couldn't wait for it to be over.” After finding what he was looking for, he haphazardly closed the suitcase, leaving it in a bigger disarray than when he encountered it.
“I can imagine.” Jensen walked back to the phone as she spoke, sweatpants in hand. “Babe, listen, take a nice hot shower, go to bed and you’ll feel better, alright? I’ll call you tomorrow morning.” That was precisely his plan, and Jensen felt fortunate as he thought of how well she knew him.
“Talk to you tomorrow, honey. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.” It was the last he heard of her before hanging up.
He gave the room a quick once over in search of a power outlet, finding one near the nightstand by the bed. He plugged his phone onto the charger and left it there, walking to the bathroom and hanging the sweatpants that he intended to change into on the hook on the wall. After stripping out of the rest of his clothes, he entered the shower. The water was extremely warm, which in general he would take offense to, but in the cold weather of Canada, it did feel good.
He took a little longer in the shower than usual, enjoying the time he had to just turn his brain off. Once he was done scrubbing off the grime of the day, he stepped out of the stall, feeling renewed. He reached for a towel and began to dry himself off, starting with his hair, but before he had the time to go any further, he hears a knock.
With droplets of water still dripping off his skin, Jensen wrapped the towel on his lower hip and hurried to open the door. To his surprise, the woman from before, the one with the familiar face, was standing there, a gift basket in hand and an awed look in her eyes as she saw him.
There was a beat of silence in which they both just stare, a tension in the air, and when it eventually gets to be too much, he breaks it.
“Can I help you with anything?”
“Uh, hi.” She gulps, appearing to have just regained consciousness after a stroke. “I’m sorry to, hm, interrupt.” She gestures to the towel he’s holding at his hip, inhaling sharply. “It’s just that my supervisor told me about what occurred yesterday evening and… Uh, and it’s the end of my shift so I just thought that I could come up here and offer you this- this little basket of goodies in order to show how very sorry we are for the inconvenience from yesterday and that that wasn’t at all the experience that we strive to provide in our hotel.”
The whole speech was a little rushed. She was nervous and it showed, and Jensen couldn't help but find it rather cute.
“A basket of goodies, you say?” He points to the item she’s holding and she promptly passes it to him.
“Yes, a little gift we reserve for our most important guests.” He examines it. The entire thing was wrapped in shiny, iridescent paper, all tied up with a bow.
“For your most important guests and the ones who receive horrible service.” Her face drops and she clearly doesn’t know how to respond, making him rapidly regret his choice of words. “I’m sorry, that was harsh. You weren’t even here yesterday, none of what happened was your fault. Thank you, for this.” He motions to the basket.
“No, please, no apologies necessary. You are right, the service left a lot to desire. And, once more, in the name of the whole staff, we’re very sorry.” They nod to each other, sharing polite smiles. “Have a good evening, sir.”
“Same to you.” He tells her, moving to close the door, but something behind him catches her attention in a way that makes her eyes bug out.
“Ow.” Her lips are agape at whatever it is she’s seeing. He looks back at his room and doesn’t notice anything out of theordinary.
“What?” He inquires, confused.
“Nothing, it’s just… That is quite a bag.” She signals to his luggage, bag stuffed to the brim and just laying on the floor, many pieces of fabric poking out since the zipper wasn’t closed all the way. “Messy as shit.” There’s another moment of silence that extends following her last sentence, but this time she’s the one who breaks it. “Oh, my God, I didn’t mean to say it like that. It just came out, it’s been such a long night-”
His laughter stops her apology in its tracks, but he couldn't contain it, he was so not expecting her to make a remark like that.
“No, it’s fine.” He shakes his head and shows her a few white teeth, still smiling while he turns to inspect his suitcase, pondering its appearance.
“The way that you organize your belongings is, of course, none of my concern. I am, yet again, so very sorry for everything and anything. Have a good night, sir.” It’s all said in a single breath, embarrassment spilling out of her, body already turning toleave.
“It’s not that big of a deal.” He’s quick to add, in an effort to prevent her from going away at once. “Do you think it’s really that bad?” He glances at the so-called mess a second time, genuinely anticipating her answer.
“It is quite a sight, that’s for sure.” Simply being exposed to the view seemed to be causing her a physical reaction, a very unpleasant one, by the way. “Would you mind, terribly, if I just…?” Her torso leans forward towards the inside of his room.
“Sure.” Jensen shrugs like it’s no trouble, moving aside so that she can pass through the entryway.
“The thing is that this is linen, so if you just leave it crumpled up like this…” She makes a beeline straight for the shirt he threw on the couch, nimble fingers beginning to smooth out the wrinkles and neatly fold the piece of clothing.
“Really? You don’t say.” Jensen speaks with feigned interest, closing the door of his room and going over to the table, resting the basket on top of it and sitting down in the chair next to it.
“I do say.” Once she’s content with the way the shirt looks, she gently leaves it stretched on the same sofa cushion that she found it on. “Matter fact, could I, as well?” Her index finger aims at the suitcase on the ground, half-closed and with a jeans pant leg and a couple of flannels overflowing from it.
“Go nuts.” He gives her his permission.
“Now that’s one way to pack.” The girl lets out a tiny gasp at the image that confronts her after opening the case. There was so much stuff, too much stuff, all equally rumpled and cluttered.
“Yeah, usually my wife helps me with it, packs it all in very nice and tidy, but then at the end of the trip it always ends up looking like that.” He grins at her reaction, leaning back on his chair to watch her as she begins sorting through his things.
“Poor woman.” She whispers, obviously to herself, but he catches it and the sound of his rambunctious laugh alerts her of it. “God, I’m just saying a lot of things tonight.” She sends him an apologetic look. “That was inappropriate of me.”
“It’s alright, you spoke from the heart.” He had on an amused expression, completely unfazed by her comment. “And I’m sure she’d agree with you on that one.”
She offers him a curt nod and continues her meticulous rearranging, taking each item in her hands and organizing it with care. The shirts, the pants, the jackets, one after the other began to be put into place inside his bag. Even the socks are tucked away in a little compartment of their own that he had never noticed was there before.
“Is it really okay that I’m doing this?” She asks.
“Is it really okay that you’re folding my clothes? Yeah.”
He finds her changes in attitude intriguing. Her demeanor is mostly self-contained and overly polite, but there are times when this lack of crass jumps out at him and he can’t quite keep up.
“So… This basket you’ve brought.” He touches the pretty red bow on the gift, feeling its smooth texture.
“It’s just some chocolate, some fruit, a few drinks, beef jerky-”
“Wait, beef jerky?” He interrupts her listing, getting up from the chair and starting to tear off the protective layer of plastic that covers the snacks, not for one moment caring to reinforce the grip of the towel around his hip bone.
“Yes.” She answers, seemly not understanding his enthusiasm.
“Are you kidding me? I love me some jerky.” He rips open the package of dried meat, taking four whole slices at once.
“Seriously?” She stops what she’s doing to look at him, eyebrows raised in skepticism.
“Big time.” He speaks with his mouth full. “You don’t like it?”
“Not particularly, no.” She shakes her head and goes back to her activity.
“Wow, french girls do not appreciate fine cuisine, who would’ve thought?” He teases after swallowing.
“I am not french.” She tells him, clean accent making it impossible for him to decipher where she was truly from. “And I also wouldn't exactly call beef jerky fine cuisine.”
“Well, I would. It’s delicious.” He walks over to the bed and sits down, the sensation of the soft mattress underneath him forcing him to lay back. “Damn, I haven’t had this in forever.” He begins to eat a few more slices.
“Really? I thought you said you loved it.” Her back is to him, hands still busy with his luggage.
“I do, but I’m always on a diet because of my job.” The bed is very comfortable and Jensen finds himself lazily chewing, enjoying the salty taste.
“What do you do?” Her voice is laced with genuine curiosity and that makes him smile sardonically.
“I’m an actor.” She turns to him with a bright look on her face, hair flowing in the air with the quickness of her movement.
“That’s amazing!” She exclaims. “Would I have seen you in anything recently?”
“Probably not. I have been on the same show for like, a hundred years.” He scoffs grimly.
“And you don’t wanna be?” She frowns, taking one of the clothes that she had already folded and starting the process again, but he doesn’t notice.
“No, it’s not that, it’s just been such a long time, and I… I feel a little stuck.” He senses his eyelids getting heavy, having to stifle in a yawn so as to not be rude. “It’s fine, you wouldn't get it.”
“Sir, I work as a receptionist in a very average hotel, I believe I do understand the concept of feeling stuck.” She says it like it’s a self-deprecating joke, but there’s no humor in her words, her tone of voice suddenly turning extremely serious.
“Are you telling me to check my privilege? You think I’m a very lucky guy who doesn’t know how to appreciate it?” His vision becomes blurry as if he’s drunk and he feels his body sinking into the sheets.
“I’m not saying that at all. I mean, you’re an actor and I’ve never even heard of you so surely you’re not that famous.” Her fingers play with the buttons of one of his shirts.
“Ouch, you are a very honest gal, Mrs…?” His speech is slurred as though his tongue is too big for his mouth.
“Miss.” The young woman corrects him. “Miss Y/N”
“Miss Y/N. That’s a pretty name.” His voice is small then, the sound dying in his throat.
“Thank you. What’s your name?” Her question is left unanswered, a loud silence overtaking the space as she turns to him and finds him completely passed out.
Dropping the shirt from her hand she walks in his direction, calmly. He’s completely relaxed in his laid-down position on the bed, the packet of almost empty beef jerky by his side. She carefully sits down close to him, watching his even breathing for a moment. Her hand pats him on the cheek once then twice, but he doesn’t react at all.
He’s out cold.
Her fingernails run through his damp hair, scratching his scalp. She takes in each and every one of his features. From his brow bone to his long lashes. The bridge of his nose and his five o’clock shadow. The perfect shape of his lips and the constellation of tiny freckles on his skin.
She leans down to breathe him in, the clean smell of soap being the first noticeable note to hit her senses, followed by a scent that’s only him.
They’re face to face, close enough to touch.
“Everything’s gonna be fine, Jensen.” Y/N whispers to him, but he’s incapable of uttering a single word back to her. “I’m going to take care of you, I promise.” The mounds of her lips brush against his, and she gives him an affectionate peck. “I love you.”

A chat with Noah Schnapp, the 11-year-old Montrealer who voices Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie
'I listened to as much as I could find online to get the voice right. Winning the role took a lot of hard work'
Special to National Post
Published Nov 06, 2015
Noah Schnapp, the 11-year-old actor, son of former Montrealers Karine and Mitchell Schnapp, was selected to provide the pipes for the ever-flappable Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie after an extensive hunt. For good reason: his take is dead-on. It turns out that wasn’t accidental.
“In preparing for my recording audition, my mom told me to YouTube the old Peanuts Thanksgiving and Christmas specials to hear how Charlie Brown speaks,” the articulate Schnapp says in a phone interview from his family’s New York City base. “So I listened to as much as I could find online to get the voice right. Winning the role took a lot of hard work, but good fortune as well. There were a lot of other talented kids up for the part, too.”
After studying the character, Schnapp says, he can relate to Charlie Brown in a lot of ways. “Charlie never gives up, and I try never to give up either. And my dog Spaghetti is a bit like Snoopy — a real wise guy.”
Schnapp already has an impressive resumé — moviegoers can catch him in Steven Spielberg’s new Bridge of Spies, and will soon be able to see him in the indie feature, We Only Know So Much, based on the book of the same title.
He is commuting between New York and Atlanta, where he is in the midst of shooting Stranger Things, a supernatural thriller series for Netflix.
And he spent a portion of last spring in Park City, Utah, where he took part in the Sundance Directors Lab and played the lead in director Brent Green’s Untitled Loveless Fable. No surprise, Schnapp was the youngest person invited to the event, which was also attended by such heavies as Robert Redford and Ed Harris.
To top it all off, he was just listed in Variety’s Youth Impact Report as a rising star under 21 to watch out for.
Pretty heady stuff for a kid who only started acting in community theatre three years ago.
Schnapp plays the son of Tom Hanks’s negotiator character in Bridge of Spies, and is most convincing as a kid who’s concerned about a Soviet nuclear retaliation at the height of the Cold War. He dutifully learns the ludicrous duck-and-cover technique should a missile strike while he’s at school, and keeps his bathtub full of water should it strike while he’s at home.
“I have to be honest and admit that before I started working on that project, I actually didn’t know much about that period or who they (Hanks and Spielberg), were,” Schnapp says. “But you have to understand that I was only nine at the time.
“However, when we started pre-production, I watched most of their movies. Then I went: ‘Wow!’ I hadn’t realized how big and how important they were.”
He was particularly struck by Hanks’s manner.
“He’s just such a selfless, generous actor,” Schnapp marvels. “In most of his movies, he’s usually playing the hero and good guy, which is what he really is. He would always be holding on to my shoulder (during shooting), and putting me into the spotlight. And not just me — he was always trying to make everyone else shine, too. It was really such a great experience working with him and Steven Spielberg.”
Schnapp is nothing if not determined. Because of his lack of experience, he figured he was a long shot to land the roles in The Peanuts Movie and Bridge of Spies.
“It was kind of crazy — those were some of my first auditions,” he recalls. “I was very excited, but I didn’t really think I could get the work in Peanuts. Still, I really, really wanted it, because I knew I could do it. And I got it.
“It was the same thing for Bridge of Spies. It was crazy, too. Then I just started getting more and more roles.”
Apart from Hanks, he’s had some solid parental figures watching his back when he’s on the job. In We Only Know So Much, Jeanne Tripplehorn plays his mom, while Winona Ryder takes on that role in Stranger Things.
The Sundance Directors Lab was a great learning experience. “There were about 200 directors, actors and screenwriters. I learned that it was OK to experiment with scenes and improvise new lines. We were like a big family — everyone became my friend.”
Though he didn’t start acting until he was eight, Schnapp says he caught the bug two years earlier.
“After I saw Annie on Broadway, I came out of the show crying, because I wanted to be on that stage. Then when I watched TV, I just knew I wanted to be that person in the TV, too.”

2b. Troublemaker - Dead Letter Society (Emile)
Tumblr media
Montreal, Jan 30, 2024
Dear diary,
I'm in some serious trouble again.
You know how the Dead Letter Society strongly suggested I keep a low profile? Well, I couldn't just give up on my dream of becoming famous, so I ended up accepting the role of Mercutio in the new Romeo & Juliet theatre production!
I was super pumped for our big opening night - or, let's be real, *my* opening night, since I was the standout talent there. But then everything went south.
I kept peeking at the crowd through the stage curtains. My adoptive parents were there, and even some of their customers (thanks to my aggressive flyer distribution). Then, that damn vampire Celine walked in; I recognized her even if she was all dressed up.
She's the one who turned me. She made me even more incredible than I was as a mortal, so I guess I owe her for that. Still, she obviously wasn't there just for the show or a friendly chat. Something was off.
I tried to focus on my part, but she was staring at me like a creeper. I think she was messing with my head, compelling me, because suddenly I felt this crazy blood lust.
I didn't even make it to the intermission. I felt my eyes become irritated with hunger, my lips parched, and my canines longer and sharper, all of a sudden; I covered my mouth and bolted off stage, ashamed.
I thought I might find some respite in the back alley, but nope. I found a kid being attacked by what he called "dad," but looked more like a wild monster. My blood lust was still raging, so I attacked the creature and drank all its blood.
The kid was shook but strangely relieved. We exchanged nervous glances, and then the theatre's backdoor opened, and the crowd walked out. Celine led them, of course, screaming innocently in fake terror, pointing at me with my probably bloody mouth and the dead body.
People whipped out their phones, filming me - they're so gross. I froze, looking at my adoptive parents' shocked faces. They kinda knew about my... abilities, but not the full extent of what I can do now. My mom slipped a pocket mirror into my hands - some kind of amulet? I guess it was her way to say goodbye, for who knows how long.
I ran after that.
Now I'm in the countryside, hiding near a Sugar Shack. Perfect time to finally read that letter from my new contact.
~~~
Wow, Ava sounds really dull. Probably a stickler for rules, I can tell already.
The part about people turning into monsters was interesting, though. I texted my friend Lukas about it - he's always online and knows about everything that's happening in the world, somehow. Now that I'm up to speed with the news, I think the guy I killed might've been one of those transformed people.
Maybe helping Ava solve the mystery will prove I was just defending a kid, even though there's more to the story. If I can then reveal I'm a vampire, I could be the supernatural hero Montreal needs. No more hiding, just fame. Whoa.
Alright, let's do this.
--------------------
This is a playthrough of a solo TTRPG called "Dead Letter Society", by Rori Montford.

Talk to Me (dir. Danny & Michael Philippou) x Fantasia 2023.
A24′s low-budget Australian supernatural horror film offers a highly original yet brutal experience in its adolescent thrills. Grounded by an excellent lead performance from actress Sophie Wilde, how the Philippou brothers visualize their frightening premise of undead possession to express grief and dread only makes the ghostly sequences feel more inventive. There’s a lot to enjoy about the streamlined genre film and the way it economically lays out its cinematic terror.
Screened at the 2023 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal.

Camp NaNo Directory: N. Roy
Template
— Share a bit about yourself — Nico (he/him)/32/Montreal. I've been writing with the intent of eventually getting published since I was 11, but I typically spend a lot of time on projects. I'm planning to start querying my main WIP, which I've been working on since June 2008, this May. I mostly write adult crime, horror, and psychological fiction (thrillers/dramas).
— What kind of stories do you like to read? — I enjoy most genres, but I mostly read what I write (or similar/connected genres): crime fiction (mostly either procedurals or character-driven thrillers or dramas), psychological fiction (especially thrillers), mystery, horror, literary/slice-of-life. 95%+ of what I read these days has a queer element and is within adult contemporary genres, but I do enjoy science fiction occasionally. I don't read YA, supernatural, or fantasy unless it's highly recommended to me, has an interesting premise or features, and/or I'm beta reading for a friend.
— Goal(s) — 50,000 new words on draft (currently at around 12K).
— Camp Project Title — The Dotted Line
— Project Description — [THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION x A CLOCKWORK ORANGE] A young, emotionally challenged inmate nicknamed after an Al Pacino movie navigates the bizarre and dangerous world of a medium security American state prison while plotting his escape.
Category: Adult contemporary
Genres: Psychological horror, comedy, crime

when you get this you have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself (or don't), publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool) the serotonin is in Ao3, but it's also in your blog. you're amazing.
Ugh, why are these so hard? Okay, gonna try for positivity.
I'm a good singer - don't do it often and haven't played my guitar in years, but when I do, I like to hear myself.
I'm a very fast typer - like omfg I used to take secretarial classes and when I was really in the zone, I could type 100wpm. It helps a lot when writing because I can get the thoughts down as they come without worrying that I'll lose the idea in the time it takes to type it out.
I genuinely believe people are mostly good, that even the worst person has a kernel of goodness in them. I don't believe in supernatural good or evil, just humanity, which is dirty and complicated - but in the end, mostly good.
I love that I'm a mutli-shipper. If all I did was write SangCheng (whom I absolutely adore!), I'm sure my creativity would fizzle and stagnate. I love exploring different dynamics and scenarios, and you just can't always do that with the same two people.
That I'm perfectly okay doing things by myself. I've talked to people who never travel anywhere alone, some who wouldn't even go to a movie theatre by themselves, and I just... if I had to wait for someone to do something with me, I'd never have been to Halifax, to the Daytona 500, to fan conventions, to Montreal to see Mika, to Toronto to see We Will Rock You and Evil Dead: The Musical... I'm happy that I'm an independent person who is at ease making her way in the world on her own.
Thank you for the ask and trying to bring some positivity to the world - I really do appreciate it :D
