Cheeseburgers
Brie Larson x Reader
When you accompany Brie to an award show, your feelings for her are revealed
Note: First Brie fic yay! This is a fluffy little something. I hope y’all enjoy!
Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
When the door opens, your breath catches in your throat. Standing in front of you is the most beautiful woman in the world. You know for sure that you’re in love with her.
But she is only your best friend.
“So, what do you think?” Brie asks you. She steps closer to you and spins so you can get a full view of her outfit.
“You are so beautiful,” you tell her. She smiles so wide that her cheeks hurt.
“Thank you, y/n. I’m so glad you’re coming with me tonight.”  
Her hair and makeup artists get to work on her again, and she ushers you to get dressed. It isn’t the first event Brie has taken you to, but it is definitely the most dressed-up you have gotten. You wear colors that match her perfectly.
Once you’re both ready to go, you ride in the car with her. Brie talks your head off about the evening that’s coming up. She tells you that she’s most excited about getting a cheeseburger afterward. That makes you chuckle.
“Are you ready?” Brie asks when the car stops.
“Oh, I thought I would be going in a different way,” you reply. She usually goes on the carpet without you.
“I want you to come with me. Please?”
You say yes. As if you could ever say no to her and that precious pouty face she makes when she wants something.
The red carpet is a bit overwhelming, but Brie keeps her hand in yours as long as she can. It feels so natural. You wonder if she feels it, too.
She does her photos and interviews flawlessly, as always. You watch on in awe. Once inside, you settle at your table. You make small talk with the other people. Brie is a natural at captivating everyone. She reunites with some old castmates.
When it comes time for her category, she reaches for your hand under the table.
“You’re going to win,” you whisper to her.
It’s not about the awards, but you know she secretly hopes she will win. When the camera pans to her, she offers a shy smile. The presenters open the envelope and call her name.
“Yes!” You cheer, being the first to stand up. Brie hugs you, and you kiss her cheek. “I’m so proud of you.”
She shares a few more hugs on her way to the stage as the applause erupts all throughout the building.
“Thank you,” Brie says, taking the award into her hands. “Wow, I didn’t prepare a speech, but I will wing it.” She continues on to give an amazing speech, not to your surprise. She has always been a natural speaker.
“And thank you to my amazing friends and family. Especially my y/n. I wouldn’t be where I am without you,” she finishes.
The crowd cheers for her again. You can’t help but tear up at how proud of her you are. She takes photos backstage before she comes back to the table.
You greet her with a huge hug. Even bigger than the one before. She hugs you so tight that you can barely breathe.
“I’m so proud of you, Brie,” you tell her again.
“Thank you,” she says, her voice breaking a little.
“Are you alright?” You ask her.
She pulls away from the hug just enough to look you in the eye. You hold her face in your hands, and she sees the way you care for her in your eyes. You feel like the only two people in the room.
“Y/n,” Brie begins.
You interrupt her with a kiss to her lips. She kisses you back, her hand finding a way to the back of your neck to pull you closer. You’re both smiling so much that you have to stop kissing.
“I love you,” Brie says.
“I love you, Brie. I always have,” you reply.
Brie kisses you again before you two come back to reality. The commercial break is over, and you have to sit down. You hold her hand under the table for the rest of the night.
When the night is almost over, Brie gets her cheeseburger that she’s been waiting for.
“Still the best part of the night?” You ask her.
“No,” she says. Brie kisses your lips softly, but she lingers long enough that you want to chase after her for more. “That’s the best part.”
“I agree, sweetheart.”
“Come home with me?” She asks, a glint in her eye.
You take her hand and leave the awards show together. After parties are the last thing on your mind. You just want to spend the night with the most beautiful girl in the world.
She is finally yours.

Don't you just hate it when one of the biggest grifters online decides to like a piece of media you like?
Gatekeeping is wrong. Forcing someone to like something in the specific way I interact and consume a piece of media is wrong. Art is meant to be viewed through a multitude of lenses, and each individual will have their own way of interpreting that creation. And that's good. That's fine. That's human.
But when an Anti-Woke Grifter who thinks alcoholism is a really cool personality trait and decides to brand everything about themselves as that; who has historically engaged and criticized films and shows and games and books in bad faith; who has put down women and POC's and Queer representation in media; who is one of the biggest dicks in the online space decides to actually pay attention to an art that is pretty much dipped, coated, laminated, and injected with fucking GAY, ANTI-PATRIARCHAL ENERGY—that's when I get mad.
For those not in the know, Critical Drinker has posted a review for Blue Eye Samurai, saying he likes it.
You know... Blue Eye Samurai?
The show that oozes Queer Wrath? Feminine Rage? Curb-Stomping Toxic Masculinity and the Patriarchy whenever and wherever it can? That Blue Eye Samurai?
See, he's done this before with Arcane.
He says he likes it. Him and his ilk say that, "Finally, the wokies have done something actually good!" and point to Vi and Jinx as strong female characters written well!
But they also say, dang, feels like all the men in that show are idiots and that they had to be dumbed down to make room for the rainbow-haired girlies brigade. Who have all remarked that Vi and Caitlyn's relationship is forced and being shoved down our throats because god forbid women like women!
I got sick of watching his Arcane review halfway, and this was before I knew what a douche Critical Sucker was.
So I ain't watching his Blue Eye Samurai review. Why?
His Glass Onion review was done in bad faith.
I didn't like She-Hulk, but that's because that show was a byproduct of abused VFX animators, creatively bankrupt executives, and writers desperately trying to manage a convoluted shared universe that continues to buckle under its own weight. Political Stinker over here thinks that it's pandering, stupid, feminist garbage. He is one of the biggest Anti-Feminist voices in Youtube.
Him and his incel brigade have an obsession over hating Captain Marvel and Brie Larson. These basement dwelling cucks rant and rave over a mediocre duology and an actress that just lives in their tiny heads rent-free.
He says that they are removing men from leading roles and roles of great importance!
So why would I want to listen to an inebriated libertarian's opinions on a show that has become the show for lesbians, trans mascs, and other lovely brands of gay and feminism that he oh so despises? He'll most likely praise the action and violence and shit like that, then probably say that Mizu and Taigen's homoerotic rivalry isn't gay actually. Or that Mizu and Akemi's narrative foils don't scream enemies-to-sapphics. Or that Mizu, WHO'S NAME MEANS WATER AND HER ENTIRE CHARACTER REVOLVES AROUND FLUIDITY ISN'T IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM FLUID IN HER GENDER AND SEXUALITY.
Fuck. I'm sorry. I don't even care if he doesn't say that. He's made so many disgusting, disparaging remarks about any piece of media that shows an inkling of progressive themes that what else am I supposed to expect?
If anyone watches it and sees this, lemme know. Watching an Anti-Woke bullshit video with just myself is just straight up wading through the desert without proper protection. No thanks.
Anyway watch Blue Eye Samurai again. Because I know you watched it. Watch it again. And again. And when you're done, watch Arcane. Watch She-Ra. Watch Dragon Prince. Castlevania. Watch anything "woke". Consume trans-positive shows. Make all the haters and even the ones who like it but have no ounce of media literacy irrelevant. Let them dry out and die, please.

Zawe Ashton on resilience, tackling complex roles and the fight for on-screen representation
The actress took to the stage at the 2023 Bazaar Summit
Tumblr media
When Zawe Ashton looks back at her career so far, she’s a little surprised: not at her own success, but at how she’s managed to navigate a notoriously tough industry so well. “When I talk about what I’ve been through, I think, why have I kept going?” the actress and writer told the audience at the 2023 Bazaar At Work Summit, at which she was a headline speaker. “I wonder if, to even become an actor, there needs to be something inside you that is already a little bit fractured. I think there’s something within me that somehow knows this level of crazy. When it gets really hard is when I feel my strongest or most determined.”
Tumblr media
Anyone who has watched and loved the cult favourite TV show Fresh Meat will be very thankful indeed that Ashton did keep going. Her character – the straight-talking, drug-taking, chain-smoking and anti-establishment Vod Nordstrom – was a highlight of Jesse Armstrong’s hit series. The popularity of the sitcom-style show (and particularly of Vod) made Ashton a household name and, to this day, it’s a role she’s proud of playing. “Vod was very left-field, free-thinking and probably, I would say, a queer character without that being made explicit,” she said. “Fresh Meat was 11 years ago now, but there’s still a whole new wave of people who come up to me – lots of young actresses, of every ethnicity – who say thank you to me for being smelly, unlikeable, strange and punky, because there aren’t a wealth of women who are doing that on screen.”
Tumblr media
Ashton clearly feels passionate about portraying real women in her work. In 2019, she published a fictionalised memoir, Character Breakdown, the title of which refers to the couple of lines an actor will receive with a script, which describe who the character is – for women, these mini biographies are often laughably simplistic and purely aesthetic. “They go from one extreme to another,” Ashton sighed with disbelief. “Where do we draw the line? If you’re not seeing women’s humanity, if you’re not seeing a full human life when you’re thinking about the ways in which you’re putting these descriptions together, then you’re not valuing women. And that’s a much bigger conversation than my industry.”
Tumblr media
Throughout her career, Ashton has fought to play complex roles and has always emphasised the importance of making multi-faceted women of every ethnicity visible on screen. When she took the role of Vod, “growing up as a young, biracial girl in Hackney,” she was “willing to do whatever it took to make that character as edgy and authentic as I felt she could be, so that it would invite anyone not seeing that kind of representation to feel really seen”. In 2022, Ashton scored a role in the period drama Mr Malcom’s List, which was a seminal moment for her – and one which she credits to the success of Bridgerton's diverse casting. “I had never seen any actor who looked like me invited to the table to perform [something like that],” she said. “I hadn’t known necessarily that I was hurting so much, until I saw that representation happen and the success of it take everyone by storm.”
Since then, Ashton has continued to push the envelope. This year, she played villain Dar-Benn – a role traditionally written as male – in The Marvels, opposite Brie Larson as Carol Danvers. “The process of learning stunts and fighting is probably one of the most empowering things I’ve done!” she laughed. “But when I thought the film was finished, I got pregnant and had my baby. And then they told me to come back and reshoot basically the whole movie. That has been the biggest journey for me: my physical wellness, my ability to endure, to mentally switch back into that place postpartum and come back to kick some ass again.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, a boundary-breaking superhero feels like Ashton’s best-suited role to date.

melodic stoner thotz
i’ve ALSO been having this silly thought about stoner!mike (who we haven’t seen in so long, i’m so sorrrrry). pls enjoy these unedited, unproofread thoughts that i typed instead of doing my work.
i listened to brie larson’s version of black sheep the other day (plus roomie and i watched the new scott pilgrim show, 8/10) and i started thinking about popstar!reader. hear me out;
you’re in a girl group, one that i currently have no name for, and you’re starting to gain traction in the states after releasing your debut album; you make high energy pop bops that emphasize on being true to yourself and standing up for what’s right with three other girls you’d met in the hallway at auditions. you’re grateful for the opportunity of course, but it’s not exactly what you’d wanted for your music career.
you have little creative control, and you’re told to sing and dance and dress a certain way; it’s a dream and a nightmare in one, and sometimes it has you wanting to leave the group all together, starting from scratch with music you actually loved.
you’re thinking about marching to the execs with your grievances when your manager sends a message to the group chat: WE’RE OPENING FOR [unnamed band that’s as big as say…the 1975 lmao] ON THEIR FALL TOUR!!!
you loved [unnamed band] and to support them on the North American leg of their tour is something you know you’d be idiotic to walk away from.
the city mike and abby live close to is stop 4 out of 10, and you’d been doing good with keeping up your charade of happiness. you sing and dance your ass off every night, knowing that you’re here and you can’t waste a moment of it; millions of aspiring musicians had wanted this but you’d finally made it to the stage.
you rarely ever fumbled during performances, a perfectionist at heart, but during the verse of one of your mid tempo songs, your eyes somehow gaze past the blinding stage lights and focus on abby (who you don’t know as abby of course lol), shouting every single word back to you with silly shimmies and head bobs.
you laugh, consumed with butterflies at the fact that she was enjoying your set so much. you’re enthralled by her energy, and it causes you to miss your cue for the prechorus. you giggle it off though you’re flustered, singing, “we have a lot of songs, my badddddd” to the melody of the music.
it makes the crowd explode with laughter, and you use that to propel you through the rest of your set, still looking towards abby as you present the outro during your final song. “thank you all so much, we love you! [bandmate 1] and i will be by the merch table once we’re off stage, and we hope to see you some of your faces there! are you all ready to see [unnamed band]????”
the crowd roars, and you watch as abby and the guy next to her disappear through the throng of people.
abby rushes straight for you once you’re sat at the merch stand, her cheeks flushed as she holds out her t-shirt for you. it’s one from your group’s first small tour, one where you’d gone to small cities throughout the country for as much exposure as possible. it was a size to big for her, draping down to her thighs. “y/n, i love you!!! can you please sign my shirt?”
“of course, cutie. i saw you dancing to [song name], is that one of your favorites?” abby nods excitedly as you scribble her name on your shirt, accenting it with a heart. you glance up at mike, who just stands behind her observing your interaction. he’s high as shit of course; he’d been a blob next to abby, really, bleary eyes and stationary, but seeing him this close revealed to you the stoner boy of your dreams.
“i take it you’re a big fan too?” you point the end of your marker at this chest. he’s wearing the same old tour shirt as abby, but his fits him well. he can’t believe your focus has moved to him now, and even though he should feel cool and calm off the edible he took before your set, your enticing gaze has him grasping for straws inside his mind.
“uh well, i…i really do it all for her, but you guys do have some solid songs. got some on your album that make me feel all powerful and sexy when i listen to them.” you both chuckle, and you motion for him to give you your hand.
you scribble your number onto his hand in red ink, musing, “well, i always love to hear what people think about our stuff. maybe…when i’m done with tour, you could tell me more over a joint or something?”
mike’s mouth goes dry, drier than it already was, but he’s nodding all languidly, leaving you with a small smirk when you give him his hand back. “yeah, yeah. sounds like a plan.”
this is kind of messy but do you all see the vision????? a full fic would be wayyyyy more structured and detailed, but i just NEEDED to get this idea out and i wanna know what you all think 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 (it would be like safety net with more smut and a tinge more angst, but definitely fluffy as hell too. like you confide in mike about the reality of your situation and he encourages you to fight for what you believe in, like one of your group’s songs ;-; still there’s lots of drama between you and the other members and the LABEL and so many entertainment people——me thinks it would go kind of nuts)

Wednesday hosts a dinner party.
Wednesday, holding a cheese platter: Girls, the main course is on the way. In the meantime, here's some cheese; don't fill up on cheese.
Everyone giggles.
15 minutes later.
Wednesday: Girls, the main course isn't far off. Get ready.
Yoko, guiltily: I can't.
Wednesday, slowly turning to look at Yoko: Can't what?
Yoko: Eat dinner.
Wednesday: ......
Yoko, nervously: I, uh, I filled up on cheese.
Wednesday sees the empty cheese platter, and everyone feels the tension in the air.
Wednesday: You ate all the cheese, did you?
Yoko: Yeah, Wends, I uh, I dunno. I was feeling hungry, and now I'm all filled up.
Wednesday: Did you have the Brie?
Yoko, trying to remain calm: Yeah, I had a little Brie, Wends.
Wednesday: Good! Did you have the Mersey Valley's Ploughmans Cheddar cheese?
Yoko, quietly: Yeah.
Wednesday: You ate the American cheese, too. I put that out as a joke.
Wednesday starts laughing, and everyone follows nervously.
Wednesday: I think I remember saying, "Don't fill up on cheese." Maybe I didn't. Maybe I'm the one that's going crazy.
Enid, trying to calm things down a little: You left it all out, hon. She was just-
Enid is cut off by a deep glare from Wednesday. Wednesday suddenly appears behind Yoko and leans down between her and Divinia.
Wednesday, whispering: My main course not GOUDA-NOUGH for you? Not GOUDA-NOUGH.
Yoko, panicking: It was me, Wends. I filled up on cheese.
Wednesday, turning to a panicked Divinia: What about you, Divinia? What's wrong? Tell me, you'll feel FETA. Have you seen any good movies recently?
Divinia, quietly: No.
Wednesday: Captain Marvel's good. Who plays her? Larson? Someone Larson?
Divinia, panicking: Brie.
Wednesday: Brie. Yes, that's right. Brie Larson. E-dam it, that's a kind of cheese. Are you hungry, Divinia?
Divinia, on the brink of tears: I think I've got room for a main meal.
Wednesday: That's good.
Wednesday places a large slice of Brie in front of Divinia.
Wednesday: Why don't you enjoy this brie?
Divinia panics even further as everyone watches on in horror. Wednesday places a piece of brie on a cracker and tries to feed it to Divinia.
Divinia, finally breaking: I can't, I can't! I ate the cheese, I ate the cheese, I ate the cheese!
Wednesday wraps an arm around Divinia to comfort her.
Wednesday: What do we do now, girls? What do we do now?
Divina: I have an idea.
A few minutes later, everyone is sat at the dinner table having a pleasant meal while Yoko and Divinia pretend to eat from empty plates.
Wednesday, to Yoko and Divinia: How are your meals?
Yoko: Yeah, great, thank you.
Divinia: Yeah, so happy we didn't fill up on cheese.
Wednesday, nodding: Yeah.

room fic? As in The Room? No 😭😭
(but yes I wanna know)
As in Room, the Brie Larson movie! Peter is raised by a villain in a situation similar to the one in that film (confined to a single room and unaware that this isn't normal because he doesn't have any exposure to the outside world) and rescued by the Avengers as a teen, and he ends up in Tony's care. He is very sweet and well-intentioned but also very sexually inappropriate, to Tony's dismay.
(It is... deeply self-indulgent and fucked up and not so much "porn with plot" as "porn with set-up," haha. Snippet with implications of sexual abuse:)
But even with Peter's sweet temperament, even with all of Tony's resources-- the ability to drop everything and take unlimited time off while Peter adjusted, the reinforced gym for Peter to safely test out his powers, the daily therapy, the support team made of the country's top child psychologists and cult deprogrammers and education specialists and pediatricians and every other kind of expert he could possibly need-- Peter had so much to process and learn and unlearn, and Tony didn't feel equipped to handle any of it. Chief among all of it being-- "Nope," Tony said that very first day Peter had been released from the medbay and allowed to go home with him, and he pulled Peter back up off of his knees outside his new bedroom. "Me and you don't do that, kid. That's rule number one." "I just wanted to say thank you," Peter said, confused and awed alike. "This room is-- this is really mine? It's so big!" "It's yours," Tony said, giving the kid a firm pat on the shoulder. "And you can just tell me with words."
Thank you for playing! 💖💖💖

Wow, now that's a list!
Sorry for replying so late and thank you for the effort of putting this together. We'll screen the celebs on here and check out if there is enough good and inspiring material of them in order to make some captions. Safe to say that we won't get around to include ALL of them, obviously.
Question: What is the turn-on for you guys about dominant celebrity women and their feet? Is it the thought of them "enslaving" you? Or do you just like the look of the celeb-woman and imagine yourself with a "version" of her in your life? :)

the gloriously kind @goddesspharo tapped me to to share my top five favorite songs. thank youuuuuu, darling! i'm going to follow her lead and go with the top five that have been on heavy rotation for the past two weeks. top five ever everrrrr is too much pressure! hitting up @firstaudrina, @andrea-lyn, @cashewdani, @empressearwig, and anyone else, should they wish!
'apex predator' + i'd rather be me' TIE - the mean girls musical movie cast | auli'i cravalho's riff in 'apex...' - *will she braid your hair? will she eat your heart? ... * H E L P P P; 'i'd rather be me' is legitimately one of my greatest auditory affinities, and i could never forgo its inclusion!
'she used to be mine' - sara bareilles | i adore all that sara chooses to be and have watched the waitress musical movie every three nights or so since it was released for purchase!
'bidi bidi bom bom' - selena [quintanilla] | brie larson's golden globe moment had me rewatching this movie, and most days i've got some segment of this tune in my head anyway.
who says - selena [gomez] | after forwarding my father the linda ronstadt biopic news (he harbors a lack of belief in my girl's talent, for whatever reason), this has become my customary alarm song!
all-american bitch - olivia rodrigo | always. forever.

So yesterday saw the premier of Fast X which apparently was at the Colosseum in Rome? A word that has, for my entire life, troubled me in that I always want there to be two L's and one S, which you think might not come up a lot but I write a lot more about the X-Men than I care to admit and boy does Piotr Rasputin give me fits, even though I can write his given name in my sleep. What does that have to do with Brie Larson? Not a lot but my family is Italian and somewhere out there is an alternate reality where I was her Uber driver and she missed the premier because I couldn't get the GPS to work as I typed in "Collusium, Collussium, Collussusiam?, Big Arena Thing" and she missed the premier and we all lose out on this really nice black dress. I am not claiming we are living in the best timeline, I am just saying it could be worse. For me at least cause apparently at some point, someone in my family traveled north to Rome, settled there, and now I am barely getting by as an Uber Driver and probably eating really soupy Pasta Fazool like they like in Rome instead of my Grandma's which is much, much better. But slightly worse for the rest of you because Brie Larson would have missed the premier and you wouldn't have that first picture (and thank god this is tumblr and not twitter or some checkmark crypto bro would feel the need to tell me that that the idea of alternate timelines would never work that way because if that side of my family hadn’t left Italy generations ago then I wouldn’t exist at all because the timeline would have changed so much I never would have been created. To that I say, yeah, you’re probably right but this doesn’t make you smarter than other people, just substantially less fun. Second, you’re arguing about a thing that does not exist in any measurable way which makes it metaphysical as much as physical, so who is to say the soul doesn’t remain the same across realities? Not me, just saying the entire thing is so stupid to fact check people on that you are not just no fun, you’re actually an idiot as well). She looked great by the way, did I say that? She looks great. Today I want to fuck Brie Larson.

Girls in line for the bathroom: why can't anyone be as nice as them?
The oh are you in line? No it's back there okay thank you for letting me know. Oh do you need to go first here I can wait. Oh shoot I forgot a tampon and everyone reaches for their purse or pocket or hoodie or wallet. Passing the time looking at yourself in the mirror and the girl next to you says "oh hey here I have a compact you can use but honestly honey you look fly" kind of vibe. The I notice the mom and her kids tap tap tapping patiently but that kid looks like their gonna burst here ya go I can wait. The frail lady who's at a snails pace behind you but goes first because little ladies need that kindness because they've made it that far. The eye contact people make when there's a weird girl who needs a lot of help, likely of the professional kind, but still is having a stressful day so she forgot her keys and cries and her phone just died and how's she gonna make it to the end of the day or now the end of the week? Make a friend in the line and then let's go sit on the bench afterwards if you have a minute. But for right now here, have a tissue I keep on hand bc I have allergies that act up all the time. The person who's clearly on break from work and is working sick and on the phone talking to their kid about seeing that they feed the younger sibling and "I'll be home tonight but mommy is very tired so we may have to watch bluey together later buti promise by this weekend mommy will be back to normal" but you see that it's Thursday and there's red under her nose from where she's been rubbing and sniffling and her eyes are watery but she's almost done with the worst of it so you reach in your pocket for the DayQuil pill you forgot to remove last week when you had a terrible cold. "You need this more than me go watch bluey with your child when you're ready" You saw her practice a take grin so she had the cheeriest joker smile you've ever seen and she starts to get choked up when she sees what you're offering. "I've been too stretched thin to even justify making a trip to the store what can I do to repay you?" she asks and you shrug. Just happy to help. She looks down at her phone and has to dash back to the grind but she's yelling thank you out the door. Kind girls in line look like the comfiest outfit you've ever seen walk in and your eyes go to the captain marvel logo on her shirt and instinctively you say "nice shirt" she blinks out of her comfy Tshirt jeans hoodie high tops faze and she says thank you. You see her blink again and take in her reality. "I don't really like marvel movies anymore but there was just something about that movie you know" you get transported to your first time watching this movie with a queer coded relationship and a queer gal icon introduced into the hell hole that is the MCU and you remember how the first time you saw it you were on a date with a girl and you both held hands and were so excited that representation fit that moment with you and your girl and this very cute very cuddly moment watching Brie Larson be powerful and strong and this is good representation for girls but there's enough queer subtlety that you fell in love with her and captain marvel and a little bit further with MCU for a second. And then you remember how not too long afterwards you remembered the fatigue marvel movies instilled. You remember how to better critically analyze these movies and what it means to watch them from such a massive corporate entity and what happened to different media networks what does it mean that there's so few forces in reality what does that mean for the world and what does it mean for this movie with this actress in this moment with this girl and in my life? All this passes in the blink of an eye but you know you'll likely be plagued by this question later at night when you can't sleep. When you open your eyes again you remember what the girl said to you and you say "yeah I understand that, there was something there"
Why can't more people be like girls in line for the bathroom

Syril Karn is not even just racing to the bottom he has his little shovel of determined patheticness and digs steadily towards new lows each week
Syril Karn is a little worm. An amalgamation of every entitled man who sees himself as the victim of every situation whether it's real or imagined.
He's the guy that mansplains in Reddit comments, the guy who made anti-Brie Larson Youtube videos, he's the guy in every Facebook comments section on your local police's community page that thanks the police for their service after shooting yet another innocent person and proudly puts an All Police Lives Matter magnet on his bumper. Syril Karn would be a Musk fanboy and grow a goatee to be like the worst version of Tony Stark. He's the member of the HOA that turns you in for the smallest infraction. He's the kind of guy that says woke with air quotes. He'd be the type of Star Wars fan that says the Empire Did Nothing Wrong unironically. He's Lee Harvey Oswald looking down the scope of a rifle in the Texas School Book Depository.
He is a disaffected young man who feels wronged and misunderstood by society all the while refusing to acknowledge his own privilege.
He is an unremarkable man with unremarkable talents that no one wants and it burns him.
His failures are never his because he says to himself that no it's society that's wrong. He's a boot licker that enjoys the power the Empire provides because it empowers him and damn everyone else.
He has made Cassian Andor his personal nemesis when Cassian doesn't even know nor care who he is.
Karn craves intimacy so bad he is trying to find it in Dedra Meero because even her apathetic, professional coolness is more than he gets elsewhere.
Even as she looks down her nose at him and sneers because he is beneath her and yet he still unsettles her because she recognizes what kind of man he is.
Syril Karn is the result of being raised under the rule of the Empire and he's pathetic.
I want to put him under a microscope and study him. I can't wait to see what sad, little pathetic thing he's going to do next that will ultimately lead to his own ruin.

You know, I feel like the reason Tom got stuck into that side of the actors that film critics don’t hype is because a lot of them are taking off their Marvel fatigue on him especially because now being associated with a super hero role (particularly from the MCU) isn’t taken seriously.
6 years ago, heck, even 4 years ago, being associated with Marvel was peak. Every actor was pursuing a role in the MCU - it was like winning the lottery because it massively launched your career. But now, I don’t know if it was the pandemic changing the structure of cinema or Martin Scorsese’s comment that opened the Pandora box mixed by how bad Marvel is being at giving quality content recently but is now synonymous for bad project and not prestigious cinema. I was surprised to see how many actors came out after Scorsese’s comments to say they either disagreed with him (Tom being in this category which I still think he shouldn’t have done) or to say that superhero movies have ruined cinema. About how being a MCU actor isn’t really about the acting because everything is CGI and not authentic, etc. TC coming out saying that a huge actor advised him that he should never take a superhero role if he wants his career to be taken seriously (and we know this was DiCaprio lol) And so on. So many actors have spoken about the MCU in a bad light. And I feel film critics have taken this as a fact and designated Tom as their idea of only makes blockbusters, never really good roles. Will forever rely on Spiderman, etc And this could be a valid critic if it actually came from a genuine place.
Scarlett Johansson only ever got to be Oscar nominated (twice in the same year/2019) during a time it was confirmed she was leaving the MCU and BW was her last movie. Only now she’s been taken seriously as an actress. RDJ basically making a joke about how Nolan told him he needed to take the role in Oppenheimer to be taken seriously during his Oscar campaign or something like that (and he won). Chris Hemsworth is getting praise for his acting on the Furiosa trailer from critics after years of being taken as the comedic relief actor of the MCU. Mark Ruffalo has always done well for himself being the most critically acclaimed one from the MCU isn’t surprising. I feel like only Florence Pugh hasn’t gotten this curse about not being taken seriously because despite being associated with the MCU - she’s still a critics darling, she has done some well received indie roles before and still given a lot of major opportunities despite a lot of her films not being that successful too. critics love her.
And I think the exception to the rule about superhero/comic book roles have been with Batman/Pattinson and Joker/Phoenix because despite those movies taking the name of very famous comic book characters - those movies were not promoted as part of a superhero universe and more like if it was a stand alone film, even the critics were like “this is cinema! - not like marvel and the saturated color palette and excessive cgi” and that’s a valid criticism - MCU movies shouldn’t be as expensive as they are considering there’s blockbusters that are done with less money and look better but that’s a whole other conversation but I feel Tom (and Brie Larson) receive the majority of the bad press for what the MCU has become.
Right now I feel like the only way to be taken seriously for film Twitter and film critics it’s if it you’re some actors that got a breakout role in an indie film and have managed to make your way to blockbusters while in the radar of popular indie filmmakers - aka Chalamet, Mescal, Anya, Florence, etc. Even Butler. And I do think a lot actors have been avoiding the super hero breakout role pipeline because of this reason as well because now not getting a MCU role is being seen as dodging a bullet.
Here's my controversial opinion: he made three successful movies with them. If I were him, I'd be like, "Hey, thanks for the huge opportunity and big fat checks, but I'm moving on to the next thing now. I don't want to be remembered for the rest of my life as the actor who can only play this one character." But the people around him are probably advising him to continue playing the character because it means more money in their pockets too. And before anyone says, "but he loves the character too," yeah, I know, but you're a fool if you think this man wants to be known as only Spider-Man for the rest of his career, which basically means he doesn't mind being put in a box (and we know this isn't true).
I'm sorry, but I don't want to see Tom end up like Ry4n Reyn0lds, Ch4rlie C0x or even Hugh Jackm4n. I want Tom to be like Christian Bale, Robert Downey Jr., or Joaquin Phoenix, iykwim.

And some haven't been on the list for as many years as others. But if I've posted someone like thirty times or whatever it's fair to say they're one of my favourites! So here it is, the big list of everyone I've posted five times or more. (I left Elliot Page on because I posted him a lot back in the day and didn't want to pretend otherwise.)

Congratulations to ELLE FANNING and thanks to my friend @whoiwanttoday for creating the spreadsheet I still use for this!

The reality is… some (emphasis on SOME) relationships don’t last forever. I always think about how Brie Larson thanked her “life partner” in her Oscar speech and they were done maybe 2 years later. Idk if that were ME I wouldn’t be naming most people in my speech. Think about Taylor Swift. Spent HOW many years thanking Scott Borchetta just for him to screw her over. Now I do wish Z would drop the “I love Rue” charade in her speeches, however I do think it’s best she doesn’t really name names. You never know where your relationships are gonna end up (business or personal). So I don’t put too much on her not directly naming Tom.
THANK YOU!!! 👏🏾
I've been saying this since forever! There's a REASON why celebrities try not to name names or drop hints of who they're referring to when it comes to their private lives.
It's best to just go nameless, that way ppl don't take little soundbites of you years later and have all of these quotes with you mentioning so-and-so's name, etc.
I know some fans want celebrities to spell things out for them and name drop and all this other nonsense, but honestly? It's BEST to keep private life details PRIVATE. They don't need to name drop, or say the "L word" to the public about their rlshp at all. 🙄
Plus, I just assume that a couple that's been dating each other at least a year loves each other anyway.... don't you lol??? 😆
Why do you need to hear it? 🥴
