my long ass review for S32E03 Now Museum, Now You Don’t

warning: LONG because i rambled about history more than i thought i would

id been looking forward to this one because i like art history, especially after seeing how they tried their best to stick to historical accuracy in the previous episode I, Carumbus. this time however….they didnt try that hard. i dont know why i thought theyd go through that sort of trouble again LMAO

but its okay, i dont really expect the simpsons to be the paragon of historical accuracy or anything. especially in anthology episodes told through a particular character's lens (in this case, lisa, whos already feverish so whatever)

first i just wanna say that this is, i guess, less of a review and more of an accidental list of history fun facts. so im just gonna get my general thoughts out of the way first.

the episode was fun! to me at least haha. i mean it got me to think and do a lot of research on my own so that must count for something. besides a couple of really weird ones, the jokes were good. anthology episodes tend to be….not that good but i thought this one was one of the better ones so far. idk.

anyway on to lisanardo da vinky its the renaissance! jesus christ the italian accents in the beginning of this segment were annoying as hell but i also feel like that was the joke lmao. ill be real i kind of tuned out for a second there when grampa started rambling so idk what he said.

i told myself i wouldnt get nitpicky with historical accuracy if the jokes were funny (final edit: so that was a lie) but this meh bit with the pizza guys and mascots was really not worth ignoring the fact that its impossible for italy to have any tomato-based food in the 15th century (tomatoes were brought to europe from the americas in the 16th century, and pizza as we know it today—flatbread, cheese, tomato—originated in the late 18th century)

oh this next part was kind of legit tho. lisanardo, like the real leonardo, became andrea del verrochio's apprentice at his workshop. i loved this next bit:

"Whoever paints the sweetest cherub will have the honor of having MY name signed on their work. That's what great artists do!"

SO YEAH as it turns out, lisanardo painted the sweetest cherubs. the painting here is called The Baptism of Christ, and the real leonardo assisted verrochio in finishing it. specifically, he painted the cherubs in the corner.

this causes verrochio to quit and go someplace with less talented people: a music school (yes, verrochio did quit painting after getting owned by young leo and his mad angel painting skills. he never did anything with music tho, he was more of a sculptor)

alongside lisanardo, in mr largo-verrochio's workshop we have barticelli (botticelli bart), dolphatello (donatello dolph), ralphael (raphael...ralph) and mediocrito (no one that i know of. sorry milhouse) (and kearney i guess but they dont refer to him by name). botticelli and donatello are said to have also been apprentices at verrochio's workshop, but raphael came a couple of decades later so he couldnt have been there. and donatello was too old so that claim is a bit questionable. but anyway

it IS true that leonardo's peers envied him, to the point where he was anonymously and purposefully accused of being gay (a major crime punishable by death in 15th century florence) while he was still working at verrochio's workshop

we are then treated by what im pretty sure is the fourth time the show has used 'at seventeen' by janis ian, this time sung by a dejected lisanardo (man they really do keep making yeardley sing these days huh) who only wishes to be appreciated and not envied.

"I'll show them all! I'll show them all in a secret diary that no one will decipher for 400 years!"

some of lisanardo's future inventions. who wouldve known

so after barticelli, for some reason (revenge??? or something?? what was his plan here idgi) steals lisanardo's diaries full of blueprints of her inventions and takes them to mr burns who i have to assume is pope alexander VI here, they decide to use her inventions for war.

"With these, we can kill the most evil people in the world!! ....Slightly different Christians."

leo actually did this of his own accord. im surprised this is what they decided to do with lisanardo instead of talking about leo's love of nature and vegetarianism (not a single mention of that in this episode? come on...) then again, trying to do good only to end up indirectly making things worse is a very standard lisa storyline. i guess they didnt want to miss the chance to have evil pope burns (very fitting, especially for that era since they were all about money and controlling the people)

so lisanardo decides to leave for france, unlike the real leonardo who was more or less persuaded by his ultimate fanboy king francis I to move to france.

"Lisanardo, I have many questions. Why are you hitting yourself? A nerd says 'what'? And how is it possible that I am rubber and you are glue? Et cetera, et cetera."

that line may seem a little random, like hes just nelson saying nelson things (and i mean, obviously he is) but the real francis also "had an unquenchable thirst for learning, and Leonardo was the world’s best source of experimental knowledge. He could teach the king about almost any subject there was to know, from how the eye works to why the moon shines." so yeah, he did have many questions and lisanardo, finally being appreciated for her intellect, was happy to answer them all. its very interesting how lisa assigned this role to nelson in her retelling of da vinci’s life :^)

and so she lived the rest of her days in france, nat king cole's 'mona lisa' plays because duh, and they make a da vinci code reference because duh. and the segment ends. and not a single time did they show the actual mona lisa painting. the fuck?

(ngl i was fully expecting bart to say 'leonardo da vinky' for a second here)

so this next segment is about french impressionist painters, most likely the batignolles group, a name adopted by the early representatives of impressionism. its much more vague than the lisanardo segment since no one here is referred to by name (except moe, more on him in a sec) but i dont feel like it really matters in this case. bart is prrrrooobably claude monet but its hard to say, this segment is kind of a mish-mash of a lot of things. also i gotta say i really liked how lisa introduced the story to bart with an 'if you hate the formal study of art' and not 'if you hate art' because thats exactly my headcanon. i LOVE the concept of artist bart and whenever its referenced it just makes perfect sense to me.

anyway the segment opens in 1863 at the école des beaux-arts (back then it was actually known as the académie des beaux-arts), preserver of traditional french art styles. skinner reviews his students’ paintings one by one. praises the plain, unimaginative paintings depicting your typical european countryside landscapes. very run-of-the-mill (haha get it...cuz theres….a windmill) (although the real académie didnt approve of such basic stuff, they wanted artists to draw epic historical and mythological scenes) then he gets to barts painting and he gives him an F- because the painting made him think.

(the paintings in this scene arent real famous paintings as far as i know but they are inspired by real paintings enough to get the point across)

in comes barney dressed as bacchus as a model for the students to sketch, which i just loved:

barney: “You prefer robe open or robe off?” skinner: “Just cover your privates with this walnut shell.” barney: “Whoa!!! So roomy!”

skinner gasps in horror at bart’s sketch, which “looks nothing like him” and bart explains that “it shouldn’t; we’re making the art that we feel because we can’t compete with a camera.” damn, you go bart. take that, realism. draw what you feel!!

(also no, you didnt need to hold still for 17 hours for a daguerreotype. 30 min tops.)

nelson haw-haw of the week: FOIE-gras!

so here they are at the moulin rouge (“enjoy it before baz luhrmann ruins it” hey shut up. i love that movie), which wouldnt be built for another 26 years, but it is the most widely known gathering place for bohemians in the public consciousness so i can understand why they went with the moulin. nelson delivers this anachronistic line:

“This époque keeps getting beller and beller!”

which alludes to la belle époque, the golden age of france usually dated from 1880 to 1914. made me snort so ill let that slide

and heres moe! as henri de toulouse-lautrec, who was actually born a year after the year this segment is set in. yo moe szyslak he was just 1

toulouse-moetrec introduces himself as the chronicler of the demimonde (not an actual job). an iconic figure associated with the moulin rouge (largely due to his affinity for alcohol and prostitutes), toulouse-lautrec was also a painter, having illustrated a series of posters for the moulin himself. he simply had to be in this segment, anachronisms be damned, just because they decided to include the moulin. cant have one without the other.

and yes he did have a walking cane where he kept his liquor.

i love how everyone drinks absinthe in this place. theyre bohemians what else would they drink

toulouse-moetrec points out that barts paintings are the greatest thing hes ever seen (and hes seen like five things!) and that hes a genius. milhouse realizes that they should stop doing what the teacher says and use their own minds to instead...start doing what bart says lmao. to the easels!

next we have skinner hyping up chalmers about the art his students made for the salon de paris, an art exhibition that the emperor of france will attend. he assures him that none of these paintings will encourage debate, provoke thought or be out of place at a dentist’s office. when they unveil the art, theyre both SHOCKED at how scandalous the paintings actually are.

this reaction was kind of accurate. impressionism was severely rejected at the salon de paris, due to paintings not looking finished enough to them, they thought they were ugly and vulgar for depicting nudity in a contemporary setting (historical and mythological nudity was fine). these impressionist paintings were sent to the salon de refusés, which is. yeah. the place where they sent the rejects. the salon de refusés does not make an appearance but this scene makes a reference to it when the artists get expelled from the royal salon. also:

“What about our student loans?” “Oh they’ll be refunded. We are not barbarians, I mean, come on.”

(god if only)

so the painters are down because they want the emperor to actually see their paintings. toulouse-moetrec pipes in once again with an idea.

“There is one thing the emperor loves more than anything.” “France?” “No, he hates France.”

apparently the emperor really loves cheese, which makes sense since its napoleon III (who loved cheese) and homer (who loves cheese.) so the painters roll into the salon inside a giant wheel of cheese (obviously.) as lenny said, “Eh, you know French cheese. Very runny.” napoleon III chases after the wheel into a room, where the wheel falls apart after getting chomped on by the emperor. now that they got his attention, the painters proudly show the emperor their impressionist art, which he couldnt be more indifferent about because he just wants to eat his cheese dammit, and he awards them with the royal medallion just to kind of get them out of his way. skinner immediately starts kissing ass (as he does) until marge’s like ‘hey wait a minute. you expelled these students from the royal salon’ and an executioner immediately starts ominously measuring skinners neck.

“Uh, sir...is your tongue sticking out because you’re dead or because you’re mad at me?”

and thats the end of that lmao (gore in this episode, gore in the last episode, and next week we’re getting gore too cuz its THOH, what the hell is goin on)

we get a short intermission with maggie, who wants a story for her too! lisa tells her that renaissance artists loved to put babies in their paintings, especially baby angels.

here she is showing her The Triumph Of Galatea by raphael:

King David Playing The Harp by peter paul reubens:

and a very simplified version of pretty much any depiction of hell by hyeronimus bosch lmao:

not much else to say about this one, really. but i really liked that sky!

the last segment is about frida kahlo and diego rivera. or as bart puts it ‘the one about a fat guy whos wife is too good for him.’ i was REALLY looking forward to this one because i love frida and i thought itd be a cool opportunity for animators to go bonkers and do really cool shit with her art as inspiration…..but the segment is not about frida, its about diego and his selling out to capitalism. and its also yet another story with homer and marge drama. no funky cool animation here. sigh i guess i’ll take it

the story begins in 1929 at la casa azul, frida’s home (now museum dedicated to her life and work.) frida and diego are getting married. this courtyard definitely did not look this way yet back in 1929. also theres something very cringy yet funny about lovejoy saying spanish words the way he does, i honestly cant decide how i feel about that one

the writers know theyre being cringy with their gringoness so they go along with it.

moe: “Spanish for ‘best wishes’!” mel: “Spanish for ‘congratulations’!” bumblebee man: “Spanish for ‘muy bueno’!”

OH YEAH BUMBLEBEE MAN this is his new voice actor, eric lopez! hes not mexican but its still great to finally have a latino actor voicing a latino character and hes very excited to be part of the show so i hope to hear more of him!! im rooting for him

el barto/zorro makes an appearance which i am very confused about. he has jack shit to do with frida and diego and mexico in the 20s-30s. el zorro was set in the spanish california of the early 19th century. their use of the original theme song makes me think they just wanted to flex their disney privileges tbh

lets not talk about that that whole scene was bad

anyway diego announces he and frida are going to new york, without even asking her first. frida is obviously pissed.

“Don’t worry, as a woman, you’ll be treated with much more respect in America.”

so in new york, diego is having a bit of a business meeting with mr burns as one of the members of the rockefellers, who is commissioning him to draw a mural for the rockefeller center. its kinda funny how he refers to him and frida as socialists even though they were very much communists lmao its okay you can say it. ok so far, but then frida says ‘yes, we hate the capitalists! right now, a young socialist is being born who will take them down! mr. bernie sanders. i hope hes quick about it’ and that was a simple enough joke and couldve been left at that but then its immediately followed by this weird as fuck family guy-esque cutaway gag to bernie as a baby:

“Getting a cootie shot should not cost your lunch money. And if you don’t listen to me, listen to the Bernie Babies! What? Everybody’s got goons.” *larger babies start beating up this other baby* “I disavow that, and welcome it.”

this confused me so much that i had to ask one of my american friends to help me understand, but even she was like ‘uhhh yeah thats a weird joke,’ especially now that hes been out of the race for months (then again these episodes take almost a year to produce. i guess they couldnt be bothered to replace it with something more relevant.) whatever that was weird and confusing and unfunny moving on

frida is pretty irked that diego is going through with this deal. after all, it goes against everything they believe in. im not sure how the real frida felt about diego doing the mural, but she did feel a bit of rage during her visit to the united states, especially the obvious disparity between rich and poor. she hated having to interact with capitalists and found americans very boring. in this segment, frida seems to be acting more like the american communist party, which diego got kicked out of for accepting commissions from wealthy patrons. in any case, frida is pretty upset about this whole thing.

and finally we get the first and only kind of surreal frida moment. kinda. maybe. its more cartoonish than anything but im desperate ok

interesting how they felt like they had to add a “don’t smoke” in big letters after showing patty and selma flying away on their giant cigarettes. i wonder if this is something theyre making them do now? i remember hearing something about them toning down patty and selma’s smoking

diego comes home to frida, drunk as hell, followed by the marx brothers. i cant believe they didnt make a marxism joke come on it was RIGHT THERE. THE MARX BROTHERS. KARL MARX. COME ON

frida paints her feelings.

this makes diego realize that frida is a genius and he is not half the artist she is. he proclaims he will now show his awe of her by sleeping with other women, starting “an hour ago.” to which frida replies, “and i will start sleeping with other women, starting two hours ago.” yes this was pretty much their relationship. though im just wondering how the hell did diego not know frida was this kind of artist until now? i know homers an idiot but jeez. art was how frida and diego met, diego knew from the get-go that frida was an incredible artist. i guess the fame got to his head or something. again, homer just being stupid.

“well enough already, while the art is still deco, okay?”

its time for the mural diego painted, Man At The Crossroads, to be unveiled:

rockefeller examines it. good and great so far, and then...uh oh

“Who’s that fellow…? With the beard, and the bolshevik smile…” “That’s the founder of Soviet Russia, Lenin!”

“B-b-but he’s a communist!” “Oh he just attended a couple of meetings.”

rockefeller will not have this communist in the temple to capitalism that is the rockefeller center, so he orders diego to paint over it. diego stands his ground and refuses. despite rockefeller’s threats, diego says that theres only one person he wants to be proud of him no matter what and in true homer & marge fashion, frida is touched by this. they happily leave the rockefeller center.

now, the real story of Man At The Crossroads and the rockefeller center was actually not that different. as soon as the rockefellers found out diego had snuck in a portrait of lenin into the mural, they ordered him to paint over it, to which he refused. diego even offered to include abraham lincoln and even american abolitionists in the mural as a compromise, but the rockefellers simply did not want any references to communism whatsoever. they did not complain about the hammer and sickle, though. yes, they did know diego was a communist and hired him anyway. what did they expect? lmao. diego said:

"Rather than mutilate the conception [of the mural], I shall prefer the physical destruction of the conception in its entirety, but preserving, at least, its integrity."

so they decided to destroy the mural before it was even finished and they never talked to each other again.

diego then repainted the mural at the palacio de bellas artes back in mexico, this time known as Man, Controller of the Universe. this new version included even more communist leaders and a depiction of john d. rockefeller jr. drinking at a nightclub, right underneath a depiction of syphilis bacteria. cue nelson haw-haw:

this was the version they used in the episode also, since the original was, well, never finished and also destroyed. only a black and white photograph of it exists, taken by diego before it was destroyed so he could remake it.

right so, homer!diego then pulls a Barthood and finishes the episode with a large mural summarizing the entire episode. he says some rick and morty thing i didnt get because i dont watch the show idk idc

the end

ALRIGHT NOW ITS TIME FOR THE STORY OF VINCENT VAN MOE

#if you read all of this bless you #the imageless gdocs version of this is 8 pages long #hope you...enjoy?!?! these art history fun facts?!?!#dont let me do something like this again but also let me know if i should do something like this again #i was really only motivated to do this because im already passionate about the subject so idk if i could do it otherwise #anyway. this took me all day yesterday because the power kept going out #but im finally done #bye

year in review of parenting

thought i would try and record a few prime interactions ive had with my kids so i remember them as my 3 daughters are just so out there - daughter says shes interested in becoming an animator so i have to line up a list of animations on youtube i know were made by one person, including ‘no evil’ by betsy lee, dingo doodles sips and the karaoke of doom, ‘witches on tinder’, and piemations as examples of the kind of thing one person can reasonably do with a lot of dedication and if you pay close attention you can see how each of the animations are done differently - explaining what skaa was, twice - spending time at gamestop just discussion how some funko pops make sense and some are super dumb. makes sense funko pop would be one of the main characters of a movie thats well loved, dumb ones would be the same but for a movie literally nobody likes but funko pops were released before the movie was so they will never sell, or having 40+ differnt versions of rick and another 50 of morty. even having 15+ different batmans doesnt make sense because given the choice do you want orange batman or classic batman? - no i cannot go to your school to beat up the kid who was mean to you. i mean technically im physically able to but thats not the point - explaining what the music style ‘scat’ is and why its unrelated to the same word used to mean ‘wild animal poop’ - i dont know how to explain to you who freddie mercury is because were in a car and i cant show you a youtube of bohemian rhapsody while im driving - explaining why i am irritated at the kid friendly versions of classic horror monsters, they dont get it so i have to go into detail a- is the wolfman scary? like just a dude thats hairy? no. no he is not. however imagine that someone you know, and you dont know who, may at some point in time turn into a ravenous monster who will attack their friends ruthlessly, its already happened at least once so everyone is on edge wondering who it is. however, secretly it is you that is the monster, living in fear that you could loose control and kill the ones you love most b- the frankenstins monster, just a big green dude with bolts in his neck? scary? no, hes just a larger zombie basically. however imagine someone at college going nutty and then starts to raid the morgue, the cemetery, butcher shops, and surgery wards at hospitals for the human parts he stitches together into a rude parody of a human being and brings it to life. but it doesnt stop there, because he abandoned this new creature that thing now stalks him out of revenge, one by one killing everyone they know - the kids now understand why the majority of the classic monsters are supposed to be scary as balls - explaining COPPA to them because several youtubers we watch together have started loudly announcing ‘not for children’, at which they unprompted start complaining about a youtuber called ‘ryans world’ where a very annoying screaming child tells everyone to buy shit and is repeatedly recommended to them by the algorithm because it knows theyre kids. i should have taken that as a warning so i wasnt surprised at just how much ‘ryans world’ merchandise was in stores this year, like ye gods theres more of it then there was starwars and harry potter merch combined he has his own cereal which is apparently frootloops and disturbing plush animals. we agreed its weird when on his merch theres four different characters but the pink cat girl looks like she was made by someone different then the others because shes got way better detail - explain to kids that ‘green eggs and ham’ was made on a dare, which requires me to recite the whole thing for them to count that there are exactly 50 different words 5 year old- “wheres my sister” me- “in the bathroom, why” 5 year old- “imma hug her” me- “nn.... wow youre - 14 year old in the bathroom- “GAAH!” me- “-fast” - i can do a perfect impression of the ‘huhuhuhuh’ sound sans undertale makes - its been 3 years of me using the phrase ‘sans undertale’ specifically and my daughter who has spent the last 3 years dressing like him and listening to his music hasnt caught on that the way im phrasing it is in fact a joke - kids accidentally stumble uppon a history meme i was part of and i have to explain thats a thing i do - explain to kids what the emu war was - explain to kids who rasputin was - explain to the kids what the problem with hitler was, given the 11 year old is supposed to only get this in the school curriculum this next year i can understand why she was shocked. 14 year old was also shocked becuase she is in the between part of ‘we briefly touched on that war’ and ‘okay now that you are old enough we can explain how shoving people into ovens works’ - they asked, they really did, and only then do i realize that despite it being something everyone should definitely be aware of... figuring out how old and how to explain it really is a tricky matter cause ho-damn most adults get queasy when you explain it and im sure those kids had bad dreams for a week - theyre also aware of the trump concentration camps and were able to draw the connections real quick - pun contest - kid asks me to acquire a daft punk song for her so i can put it on her mp3 player, i have never heard of this song despite her spending 5 minutes describing it and how their eyes are freaky. have to explain to her that when i was about her age daft punk released an entire movie made of music videos. we have to show each other different daft punk videos to understand each other - no, daft punk are the robots, not the blue eye people. literally nobody knows what they look like under the helmets they even show up to music award shows wearing them. the helmets can actually make words and emotes theyre really rad songs we have erupted into together - spooky scary skeletons - narwhals narwhals - another irish drinking song - hubba hubba zoot zoot

Bohemian Rhapsody

AN: Well I thought I would write something and finally get things done for this blog. I hope you all will enjoy this, I combined some Bohemian Rhapsody with Supernatural because its two fandoms that I love. So enjoy my loves

***************************************************

Word Count: 3,764

You and Sam get back from a hunt. Dean and Mom stayed behind at the bunker and basically cleaned the place.

Mom did most of the organizing while Dean helped with the heavy lifting, well most of the time he tried to get out of Spring clean up but Mom never fell for it.

As Sam drives through town, you see the movie list that has been released and see the movie you have been wanting to see ever since you read about it online.

“Hey Sam?” you ask while never taking your eye off the movie ad well until it disappears from your sight anyway.

“Yeah, whats up?” Sam asks looking to you while he makes the turn for the bunker

“How do you think Mom will like if I took her to a movie?” you ask shyly

You didnt know why you had to ask Sam first or even act all shy about it.

Mary was your mom, just as much as she is Sam and Dean’s Mom.

You were still trying to get used of her being around more.

Dean and Sam already got used of her. Well you thought so anyway.

“I think that would be great if you took her. I mean spend some Mother, Daughter time. Something me or Dean couldnt do for you while growing up” he replies while parking the car by the door of the bunker.

He looks to you with a sincere smile.

“Something that doesnt involve hunting” you sum up while getting out of the car and gathering you things.

“Exactly. You need some normalcy in your life and this could be one of them” he replies while opening the door and entering

“What is exactly normal Sam?” you ask with a smile on your face as the both of you walk down the spiral stairs.

“You two are home early” Mom greets you both

Sam goes in for a hug

Your turn next

“It was easy” you simply reply with a smile on your face

“Looks like you and Dean have been busy” Sam says while looking around the library

“I’ve been keeping him busy, hes been making excuses not to get this place organized” Mom replies while sitting down at the table

You go down the hall and into your room to put your things by the door and on your bed. You thought you would clean up your things later.

“Hey baby girl, home so soon” Dean says as he comes out of his room and gives you a hug

“Hey big bro. Hiding from Mom?” you ask while pulling away from his embrace

“I wasnt hiding. I was just putting something back into my room” Dean replies while making excuses to hide from Mom

“Right” you reply with a smirk on your face

You and Dean walk into the kitchen where you hear Sam and Mom talking about the case.

“it was y/n who figured out the whole entire thing and knew how to kill it why we are home so early” Sam says while looking to you all proud. Mom has the same expression on her face as well

“Well way to go baby girl” Mom says while giving you a side hug

“How about I make you your favourite tonight. I’ll get Dean to pick up a few things from the store” Mom says with a smile on her face

“Alright give me a list and I’ll head out with Sam” he replies while Sam glares at him for volunteering him to tag along for the grocery run

“Actually yeah I will tag along for the grocery run because I need to pick up a few things as well” Sam says while looking to you.

He thought he would give you that chance to talk to Mom and ask her about the movie you want to take her out to.

As soon as they are both gone. Its you and Mom left in the kitchen.

Complete silence, until you remembered the movie.

Queen’s Love Of My Life came on the radio and Mom hummed to the song as she moved around the kitchen to gather the ingredients she does have.

“Hey Mom, I was wondering if you would want to watch a movie with me?” you ask while twiddling with your thumbs sitting at the table

“Sure sweetie. What were you thinking of watching?” she asks as she bring her ingredients in a bowl to the table

“Uh Im going to leave that as a surprise. I’ll buy the tickets now” you tell her while smiling to her

She returns the warm smile as well

“Alright in the mean time Im going to mix this all up” she says as he begins mixing her ingredients

While Dean and Sam are at the grocery store, Dean looks to the list of things Mom wrote down for him and goes from aisle to aisle to gather everything.

“Did y/n really single handedly solve the entire case and kill the monster?” Dean asks while looking to Sam

“Yeah she did and it was like as if she killed the thing before” Sam replies while placing more items into the cart

“It was more like on accident” Dean replies while pushing the cart to the cashiers till

“What do you mean?” Sam asks all confused

“Well when she was fifteen I left her alone by the car and the thing came after her. She knew what to do and killed the thing by herself” Dean remembers like it was just yesterday you had your first kill.

You did it with ease though, not showing any fear what so ever and felt proud of your first kill

“Wow, she is fearless” Sam says while placing the items on the conveyor belt for the cashier to scan

“That she is. I’ve never been so proud” Dean says with a smile on his face

“Mom is pretty proud of her too” Sam says with a smile on his face

“Why wouldnt she, y/n is the exact replica of Mom and shes fearless” Dean says while giving the money to the cashier for the food

“Speaking of Mom, y/n asked if Mom would be alright with going to a movie with her and I told her she should just ask and spend some Mother, Daughter time with her. Something we couldnt do while y/n was growing up” Sam says while taking the bags and placing them in the cart

“What movie is she thinking of taking her to?” Dean asks helping Sam placing the rest of the bags into the cart and pushes it out of the store

“I dont know she didnt say” Sam replies while getting the trunk open

“Thats true though, she never got to experience that Mother, Daughter time and think she should get to experience that” Dean agrees with Sam

Dean remembers all the talks he had with you, some were awkward and others were just a learning experience for him and he thought he raised you pretty good.

“Lets go home and wait for Mom’s cooking” Dean says while putting baby on drive

“See if y/n asked Mom about the movie and see what they are going to see” Sam says while looking to the road

“You didnt see which movie she was looking at?” Dean asks while driving slowly by the movie theatre

“No but I am guessing its Bohemian Rhapsody” Sam looks to the movie posters that are posted outside the theatre

“The movie about Queen. I always wanted to see that movie” Dean says while pressing the gas and going back to the bunker

“Mom is definitely going to love that movie” Sam says while looking to Dean

“Of course she will. I remember Mom playing their records over the record player and it was always either Love Of My Life or You’re My Best Friend” Dean says while remembering back to his younger days of Mom playing music.

“I remember that too. I’d always hear Bohemian Rhapsody every and then. Or even Killer Queen” Sam says with a smile on his face

They get to the bunker and park in the garage.

Dean stops the engine and gets out of the car

Sam does the same and gets the groceries that were placed in the back seat.

While Dean gets the ones from the trunk and head into the kitchen

“I remember your dad sneaking us into a Queen concert. He was suppose to get tickets for us for my birthday but they were sold out” Mom smiles at the memory while you play some of their music through your spotify playlist.

“Their concerts were amazing. They always put on the best shows” Mom says with a smile on her face as she takes her hand to her chest.

You see she is tearing up at the memories and understood why

You hear Dean and Sam walking down the hall and into the kitchen

“Freddie Mercury was just amazing on stage and off. Your dad was always amazing at getting us into the shows” she says while looking to you.

You couldnt help but get teary eyed as well. You feel as though you were robbed of great concerts, a great artist.

Most of all, you were robbed of your Father. How you missed him dearly.

“Whats with the tears?” Dean asks looking between you and Mom

He places the groceries on the table and begins putting them away.

Sam does the same while looking between the both of you as well

“I was just telling y/n about the times your Father took us to Queen concerts and how amazing they were. How amazing Freddie was” she says while wiping the tears away

“I would have given you their concert t-shirts but it was burned in the house fire” Mom says while looking to you

You would have loved one of her shirts from their live shows

“Y/n play Tie Your Mother Down” Dean says while looking to you

You do as your told and begin getting the movie tickets for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.

“This song” Mom tsk’s as the song plays

Its as though she is replaying the concert in her head with Dad at her side. She smiles to Dean and Sam

Dean plays the air guitar to Brian May’s guitar riffs

Sam sings out the chorus but he has nothing on Freddie

Mom joins in as she dances. She moves like Disco Deaky

You sit back and enjoy their dancing, singing and air guitar playing.

You bang on the table to the drums of Roger Taylor

“Thats the way baby girl” Dean says winking to you

When dinner is finally made and Mom did amazing at cooking your favourite meal.

You couldnt wait for the next day for the movie. Heck you were really excited

Dean cleaned the kitchen when everyone was done eating. Sam helped with drying the dishes.

Mom went to shower and head to bed

You went to your room and cleaned up a bit while putting stuff away.

Finally you went to bed as well.

Mom is the one who wakes early, she goes to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee.

Sam is the one who wakes next

“Do you ever sleep in?” Mom asks looking to Sam as he enters the kitchen

Sam chuckles at the question and waits for the coffee to be done

“I dont understand that reference” Sam retorts as he smiles and thinks of Castiel

“So do you have any idea which movie y/n wants to see?” Mom asks while she gets herself a cup of coffee

“No I dont. She didnt tell me which movie. She just said she would like to take you to a movie” Sam replies while doing the same

“Im excited either way. I mean I never had any chance to spend time with her. Only when” Mom cuts herself off as she remembers the final moments she had with you

“But you’re back now and make up lost time. I know we are always out on hunts and you can finally have these moments with her. She is amazing just like you mom” Sam says to her.

“Does she still like chocolate cake?” Mom asks looking to Sam

“Yeah she does but Dean topped it off with chocolate chips and baked it. So every birthday he would make chocolate chip cake for her” he replies while looking to Mom with a smile

“But still using grandma’s cake recipe?” She asks in hopes its the same

“Still using the same recipe” he replies with a smile

You wake up to the smell of coffee that brought a smile to your face

You get up from bed and put on a hoodie as you walked out of your room, down the hall and into the kitchen

“Morning y/n” Mom greets you from the coffee machine

“Morning y/n” Sam greets you next

“Morning guys” you reply with a smile on your face

“Dean not up yet?” Mom asks looking to you

“No, I didnt see him come out of his room” you reply getting yourself a cup of coffee

Finally Dean awakes from his sleep, the four of you assist other hunters with their cases in doing research.

The other hunters were successful with their hunts and killing the monsters. All successful with Dean, Sam, Mom and your help.

“Oh geez the movie starts in an hour. Mom we got to get ready” you say while looking to the time

“Oh right, I will take a quick shower and get ready quickly” Mom says while rushing to the washroom and getting ready for the movie.

“I didnt realize all this researching would take most of the day” Dean says while putting the books away

“Dean I think thats the most reading you did for most of your life” you reply while going down the hall and into your room for a shower as well

“Shut up” Dean says while glaring at you as you walk away from the library

Sam is laughing while Dean glares at him as well.

Finally the day has come for movie night with your mom and you were excited for this. Not only spending time with your mom but would get the chance to watch Queen’s biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

“Y/n Im ready” Mom says knocking on your door

You brush your hair for the final time and walk out of your room.

“Alright I am ready” you say while following Mom into the kitchen where Dean and Sam are

“We are off now. Are you going to tell me which movie we are seeing now?” Mom says to your brothers while asking you what the surprise is.

“No, not until we get to the movie” you reply with a mischievous smile on your face

“Just really knows how to keep the suspense going this kid” Mom says while walking out of the kitchen with you.

“Have fun you two and let me know which movie you see. So I can go watch it” Sam says while waving the both of you off from the garage

Dean follows along as well and does the same. He is proud you have asked Mom to head out with you.

You park across from the movie theatre while Mom gets out and you do the same.

Thats when she sees the movie poster for Bohemian Rhapsody

“Y/n is that the movie we are going to see” she asks with tears in her eyes

You nod you head with a smile on your face and couldnt wipe it away

“Thank you” she says as she gives you a hug

“Not a problem Mom, I wanted to do something for you that involved your favourite band and just to spend some time with you” you tell her while giving the worker your tickets

“Alright lets sing some Radio Gaga” she says and enters the theatre

As the movie begins to play and the echoes of Freddie’s voice plays in the background. It gave the both of you goose bumps.

The opening credits to the movie begins as Somebody To Love begins playing.

“Its twelve noon in London. Seven am in Philadelphia, its time for Live Aid”

You look to your Mom and see she has tears in her eyes. You pull out the tissues from your pocket and hand them to her.

She takes a few and thanks you for them

The both of you swaying back and forth to the song. You see Mom lip syncing to the lyrics of Somebody To Love.

The scene to Live Aid is what opens the movie and Mom gets goosebumps once more. She remembers watching Live Aid on TV.

When the movie gets to rockfield farm where three members of Queen are in the kitchen making breakfast, talking about Roger’s song Im in love with my car. Well more like arguing about it.

Mom laughs when Roger throws the food at Brian and John cause he is getting annoyed with them talking about his song. Finally he is about to throw the coffee maker but is stopped from doing so.

“I wonder if they replaced that with Roger locking himself in the cupboard when they didnt want to add his song on the B side” Mom leans over and whispers into your ear.

You laughed way too hard at that

“I would think so but would have been nice if they added that in the movie” you lean over and whisper into her ear as well.

The both of you share a laugh.

When the movie gets to the scene of Live Aid, Mom begins to tear up once more and places her hand on her chest.

As Radio Gaga begins to play is when a wide smile spreads on Moms face and she wipes away more tears.

During the chorus of the song is when Mom begins to raise her arms as well just like the whole theatre did for the song and clapped.

Everyone begins to break out singing as well.

You sang and raised your arms as you clapped as well. You werent part of the concert but felt good to sing out the song. You wiped away tears as well.

When the song ended is when Hammer to Fall began to play is when Mom looked at you with a wide smile

“This was your fathers favourite song” She leans in near your ear to tell you.

You tear up more as she tells you that. You wipe away the tears and continue watching the movie.

Finally when the movie is over is when the both of you are in tears once more as the credits roll.

You are about to get up from the seat but Mom doesnt get up. She sits there enjoying the music from her teen years.

She mouths to the lyrics of Dont Stop Me Now and you do the same as well.

“That was so good” Mom says walking out of the theatre

“It was and I am glad you liked it” you say while unlocking the car

“Liked it? I loved it. Even though it wasnt in order but I still loved the movie. Oh and those boys looked so much like the members of Queen” Mom says trying hard not to sob

You can tell she loved the band oh so dearly, how she talked about the band and chose the words oh so delicately when talking about Freddie Mercury.

“When Joe Mazzello who played John Deacon danced to Bohemian Rhapsody and thats exactly how Deaky danced” Mom says with pure excitement and is completely astonished at the same time.

“Y/n I thank and love you for taking me to see this movie” Mom says placing her hand over yours and giving a gentle squeeze.

“Not a problem Mom and I love you too” you tell her while placing a kiss to her hand

“It was uncanny how each actor looked like the members from the band” you add while driving back to the bunker

“Especially Mazzello who looked exactly like John Deacon. I wonder if his mom had one night with Deaky and got pregnant with Joe” she begins to make assumptions

You begin laughing while you pull into the bunkers garage

“Are you sure dad is my dad?” you ask while looking to Mom

“No, your Father is John Deacon actually, its just he doesnt know yet and your dad left me alone for a while so I went sneaking back stage” Mom says with a smile on her as the both of you enter the bunkers hallway.

Dean and Sam sit in the kitchen eating pizza Dean ordered.

They look to each other with smiles on their faces as they hear the both of you laughing.

“That movie is a definite master piece just as much as the night at the opera is” Mom says as the both of you enter the kitchen

“So ladies how was the movie?” Dean asks looking from his pizza

“Whats so funny?” Sam asks finishing his pizza

“We were just talking about the movie and among other things” you reply while getting yourself a slice of pizza

“I was just questioning if one of the actors playing John Deacon is his son and I told y/n that John Deacon is her biological father” Mom says while getting herself a slice of pizza as well

“Oh so you did take her to see Bohemian Rhapsody” Dean says with a smile on his face

“So the movie was good?” Sam asks while laughing at his sister and Mom

“Yes it was really good. Its not in complete order but its still a great movie” Mom replies while sitting next to Sam

You sit next to Dean while nodding your head

“So John Deacon is y/n’s biological father? I knew it this whole time” Dean jokingly says while looking to you.

You nudge him as you giggle

“Sam we should go watch the movie” Dean looks to Sam in hopes he will go with him

“I wouldnt mind watching it again” Mom says grabbing another slice of pizza

“I totally wouldnt mind watching the movie again” you say as well looking to your family.

When it was agreed to watch the movie as a family is when you got more excited because you wanted to see how Dean and Sam would react to the movie.

Mother, daughter time was a definite success and happy you got to take her to see Bohemian Rhapsody.

As The World Crumbles (Chapter Four)

Collaboration with @hystericalrogertaylor

Pairing: Ben Hardy x Reader

Word count: 1327

Summary: Ben and (Y/n) have been dating since Bohemian Rhapsody’s release. Everything seemed perfect for the young couple, until the night of the Golden Globes. Russia has bombed the United States, destroying everything and implementing a ruthless dictatorship. With the country in tatters, Ben, (Y/n), Rami, Lucy, Joe, and Gwilym form the Killer Queens, a vigilante group aimed on destroying the new government, and the cold-blooded dictator, Cornelius Vanzant.

Warnings: pregnancy, mentions of death, cussing, mentioned use of firearms, mentions of kidnapping

A/N: ohhh shit here we go....

Masterlist

Spotify playlist

“Word on the street says Vanzant is in LA as we speak.” Rami sat down at the table with a muffin for lunch.

You coughed, spitting out a bite of your meal. “He’s where?!” you and Ben said at the same time.

“I don’t know.” Rami shook his head. “He never comes here. He couldn’t possibly be coming for us though.”

“And what makes you so confident?” Ben asked, looking slightly angry.

“They still have no way to figure out where we are,” Rami clarified. “I’m good at hiding our location.”

Ben looked skeptical. “All right…” He slid his plate away from himself, no longer hungry.

You chewed on your fork, still anxious. Vanzant’s threats to your group had been getting worse still. You knew the moment you were found, you’d all be dead. Including your baby. The thought would even wake you up in the middle of the night, clutching your stomach for dear life. You’d even had dreams about yourself dying, along with the baby. But the worst of these nightmares were the ones where Ben died.

It happened in a variety of ways. He’d be shot by Vanzant, or decapitated in public, and in one you were even forced to kill him to save your life. It was awful, and he had no idea. You’d wake him up with your cries, but you didn’t want to tell him what your dreams contained. You were too scared that speaking them aloud would make them come true. You’d just hold him close, afraid letting go would mean losing him.

“So what are we going to do about it?” Joe asked.

Rami smirked. “Well, none of us have actually been out in the sun in a while…”

Ben was the first to object. “Oh, hell no. We are not leaving this hospital.”

“Yeah, Ben’s right,” Lucy said, placing her hand on Rami’s arm. “We shouldn’t leave a place where we’re safe. He could see us, and you know he wants us dead.”

Rami held his hands out. “But this is the perfect opportunity for us to kill him!” he exclaimed. “Think about it. We can take our guns and other weapons, hide in a crowd, and just shoot him. Then, most of our problems will be over.”

“You’re fucking insane,” Lucy said, standing up to leave.

“Babe, c’mon,” Rami said. “You know as well as any of us that an attempt to kill Vanzant should be made if the chance presents itself.”

Lucy turned around, angry as anyone had ever seen her. “So you’re willing to risk the lives of your girlfriend and child to MAYBE kill this guy?! You’re so stupid!”

Joe spat his water all across the table. “Hold on, his girlfriend and whom?”

“Lucy, honey, let’s talk about this!” Rami exclaimed as Lucy stormed away again.

“What child was she talking about?” Gwilym demanded.

Rami sighed, closing his eyes and leaning his head back. “This wasn’t supposed to be how you guys found out.”

“Find out what?’ Gwilym responded.

Rami let a few tears slip down his cheeks. “Lucy’s pregnant. Maybe about nine weeks along.”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the news. Ben looked at you, asking a question with his eyes. You shook your head; you weren’t ready to tell everyone else just yet.

Gwilym put his head in his hand, sighing. “What are we going to do with a child? We already can barely provide for ourselves.”

“I know.” Rami wiped his tears away. “We don’t know how it happened. We were so careful.”

“It’ll be okay,” you spoke up. “We can take care of a baby. It’s doable.”

Rami smiled, reaching across the table to hold your hand. “Thank you, (Y/n).” He took a deep breath. “I know it’s going to be difficult, but this baby will be okay. It’ll all end up okay.”

“We’ll just have to kill Vanzant faster,” Joe said.

“Right,” Rami said, chuckling. “That’s what this means.”

Gwilym stood up, holding his arms out to the side. “C’mon everyone, group hug.”

Everyone at the table stood up, forming a circle of mutual support.

---

Ben, Rami, and Gwilym were chosen to leave the hospital and attempt to find and kill Vanzant. Joe was picked to stay back and hold down the fort with the girls.

You stood next to Ben while he looked at the gun he’d been given. “I’ve never owned one of these before,” he admitted. He fiddled around with it, almost twirling it in his fingers and accidentally pointing it at his chest a few times.

You grabbed his hands, forcing him to stop. “You’re going to shoot yourself, be careful.”

“Right, sorry.” He set the gun down on the table next to him.

You sighed, wrapping your arms around his middle. “Please be careful,” you said.

“I will,” he replied, hugging you back.

“You have to come back to me,” you said.

“I will.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.” He tilted your chin up, placing a slow, meaningful kiss on your lips. “We’ll take him down, and then our baby will be able to live in peace.”

“I believe you,” you said. “Just don’t die in the process.”

Ben chuckled. “Don’t worry. We haven’t died yet, I don’t think we can.”

“That the attitude that gets people killed,” you said seriously.

“Okay, okay.” Ben held up his hands in defeat. He kissed you again. “I love you. I’ll be back later.” He picked up his gun and started to follow Rami and Gwilym.

“I love you too,” you said. “We love you,” you whispered, so as no one could hear it.

---

Minutes seemed like hours and hours seemed like days. Lucy had reappeared at that point; no one had been able to find her before the boys left. The three of you had tried several things to distract yourselves, such as I Spy, board games Joe had found somewhere, and sleeping. You were actually in the middle of a peaceful nap when the door to the room slammed open, Ben and Gwilym running in. You shouted, scrambling away from the noise until you realized who it was.

“What happened?” you asked, noticing their panicked expressions. You then noticed that Rami was nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s Rami?” Lucy voiced your thoughts. “Guys, where is he?!”

Ben was panting, leaning against a wall for support. “They took him. Oh, my God, it all happened so fast--”

Lucy grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. “What do you mean?” she demanded.

“They captured him,” Ben said, pulling Lucy’s hands off of him. “We tried to shoot them, but they were too fast.”

“Where is my boyfriend!?” Lucy screamed.

“He’s been kidnapped by Vanzant,” Gwilym reinforced.

Lucy sprinted from the room. Everyone got up and followed her through several hallways until she reached the room where your group filmed your messages. It was also where you kept a television. She quickly turned in on and adjusted the antenna so the only television station could come through. When the picture materialized, your group gasped.

On screen was Vanzant, which wasn’t unusual. But next to him was Rami. He was on his knees, with his hands tied behind his back, and Vanzant had a tight grip on his hair.

“Hello, Americans,” he started. “Some of you may recognize the man next to me. He is the brains behind the Killer Queens, a terrorist group who thinks they know what’s best for you. But they are poisoning you! They’re feeding you lies and propaganda. But, thanks to their incompetence, they led us right to them.” He twisted his fist, causing Rami to groan in pain. “So, no longer shall you fear the mistruths and scary messages of this organization! We’ve cut the head off the snake. Long live the new America!”

Right before the broadcast cut off, Rami began to thrash around, looking towards the camera. “Lucy!” he screamed. “Lucy, I--”

The broadcast cut off, and the screen went black.

Borhap Bachelorette (Part 1)

Word Count: 2,156

Prompt: This is a Borhap boys x reader Bachelorette AU.

A/N: This was written by @ @wewillfarrokhyou @anuknowha @tooweirdtolivetoogaytodie @freddiesstache @queen-in-funerland @fatbottomedgwil

We hope you like it! Also be sure to vote for who gets the first impression rose.

Taglist: @bitemerog @mr-stank-i-dont-feel-so-dank and @rogerinatrash @roger-bang-the-drum (who signal boosted my original post) Message me to be added to the list/follow this blog)

You had just arrived in front of the mansion. You were extremely nervous about being the star of The Bachelorette - you didn’t have too much experience dating before, and being on this show was supposed to be a chance for you to find love. What could you say? You were a true romantic at heart. You were dressed in your best gown, your makeup and hair done by the specialist, and now you sat waiting. You hadn’t met the guys yet, but they were due to arrive in the limo any second.

Chris Harrison came from inside the house and approached you.

“Hello, (y/n), how are you feeling?” He said, with his T.V. smile on.

“Hi Chris! I'm excited, but also quite nervous. Just really hoping to find the love of my life. I know I’m ready,” you smiled brightly and tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. Just then, the limo started to roll into the driveway and you heart began to race.

“Here we go...” you muttered to yourself.

A tall man with gorgeous cheekbones and a straight jawline got out of the limo and walks towards you, holding a pitch black acoustic guitar. Fender, you assumed - you weren't really knowledgeable about guitars. He had clear blue eyes and chestnut brown hair, with perfectly arranged facial hair. He started singing “You’re My Best Friend” as he walked towards you.

“Ooh you make me live, whatever this world can give to me...” As he was singing, people on the sides threw polaroids at you. You caught one - they were all pictures of him in various cute, Instagram-worthy poses. “Ooh you’re all I see..” you were laughing at how silly and sweet it was.

“Hello love, I’m Gwilym Lee. Lovely to meet you.” He says, taking your hand and giving it a kiss.

“That was a wonderful entrance,” you laugh, and he takes a bow.

He walked past you and into the mansion. He seemed like a genuinely sweet guy and you were excited to see who else was going to come.

Out of nowhere, the song “Boss Ass Bitch” began to play. You were incredibly confused until from around the corner you spotted a giant dinosaur dancing its way toward you. You burst out laughing at the ridiculous sight, your hand coming up to cover your mouth.

“Oh my god!” You yelled out, watching the dinosaur shake its hips.

The dino got on its knees and presented you with a rose. He unzipped the top part of the costume, showing ginger hair and bright smile. He roared and you laughed again.

“I’m Joe, Joe Mazzello,” he exclaimed. You took the rose out of his hand.

“Well, you certainly put on a show,” you said, highly amused.

“It’s all in the hips,” he joked.

He smiled and walked past you. You could already tell that Joe was going to be a lot of fun. He had a great sense of humour from the way you nearly cried laughing at his dinosaur dance. You wondered who was going to enter next.

“Remember the Time” by Michael Jackson began to play as a man in full egyptian clothing came out of a limo dressed like a pharaoh. He had tan skin and big blue eyes and his whole look gave a grandiose appearance.

“Hello, your highness,” you bowed at his costume.

“Well I was in Night at the Museum, so I couldn’t resist. I’m Rami Malek,” he beamed, holding out his hand.

“(Y/n),” you grinned, taking his firm handshake.

“I look forward to getting to know you,” he smiled as he walked behind you.

You were impressed by his kingly appearance and beautiful features. Night at the Museum? I only remember Ben Stiller... Who is he?, you thought to yourself. Only one more guy was left to join all of you in the bachelorette house. What kind of a person would he be?

Right on schedule, another limo appeared. It was loudly blaring — “I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt…” The back half of the baby blue limo was a hot tub with an admittedly very cute blond sitting in it, shirtless, arms draped around the sides. His curly blond hair and chiseled abs were almost too much.

“Hey, baby. Care to join me?” His accent made you weak at the knees.

“Ah...I'm good, thanks.” You blushed and gave him a small smile.

“Oh. Um. Okay.” His pecs twitched almost nervously. Confused, he looked down, but it happened again and you started giggling uncontrollably.

“What was that?” Joe asked.

“What was wh-” the blond started, but it happened again. You and the other boys doubled over in laughter.

“I -” Hot Tub Man turned beet red and lifted himself out of the tub, wrapping a towel around his torso. A small laugh also escaped him. “I'm Ben Hardy. Nice to meet you.” Ben said as he walked over to you. He went to hug you but backed up a little when he realized that he was soaking wet. You muttered a quiet, “sorry” to him.

“I’ll save it for later,” he said, maintaining a suave composure as he walked to the mansion to dry further.

That was it. All the guys had already introduced themselves and made quite the impression on you. From the sweet romantic Gwil, to the funny and charming Joe, the royal Rami, and the gorgeous Ben. It was going to be a hard choice to see who gets the final rose. You just hope that the interviews help make it easier.

The guys were all drinking in the lounge of the mansion when you walked in. Chris Harrison walked to the front of the room.

“Well, this is it, enjoy your first night!” he said as he walked away.

All four guys were staring at you. You couldn’t help but to blush.

This was your time to play coy - you wanted them to believe there were things about them that you didn’t know. You wanted them to be completely honest and after you’d seen them on the set of Bohemian Rhapsody together you knew exactly how they would act both on and off set. Even while they were there, you’d watch them on social media and their interviews when they weren't with each other. Hell, you even knew their favorite foods but you wanted to hear it “straight from the horse’s mouth”, as they say. You knew that this was going to be fun, and you just had to let it play out right. You just had to be careful and pretend to be unaware of these guys and their pastimes.

Rami trailed off first. “Ms. (y/n), I’m not sure if you like cats, but I am severely allergic. Thought I’d let you know beforehand.” He grinned.

“Well, I’m a model!” Gwilym stated.

“We’re all models.” the other three sighed in unison.

Ben seemed to keep his eyes on you, making you a little uneasy.

“Your eyes are absolutely gorgeous Y/N. Look at how soft they are and how the light in this lounge absolutely twinkles off of them.”

It took a moment for you to process the information and once your brain finished establishing his words, you had time to notice that he had a shirt on.

“Oh, oh you’re Ben right?”

He held his hand out as the other three watched him and slowly looked over at you as you shook it.

“Great, now she’s going to like you more, and after I dressed like the best thing since sliced bread. I. Feel. Betrayed. Ben.” Joe huffed as he puffed out his cheeks and crossed his arms.

A small smirk appeared on the blonde’s face. He felt confident that he was the first one who made physical contact with you since you guys entered the mansion. His grip was firm but gentle, he wasn’t using too much force and but you could tell he didn’t seem to want to let you go. But he did.

“I love dinosaurs and the prehistoric age, I love history-” Joe stuttered to try to catch your attention.

“Is that what you majored in college, Joe?” You glanced over at him with a smile.

“Actually, I went to college for the cinematic arts, I wanted to make my experience on the big screen.” He grinned, his hands held in front of his face, and he slowly spread them apart as if he was making some kind of invisible rainbow. Almost as if he were about to do jazz hands.

“Well, I’m British darling, have you ever dated a man from another country?” Ben hummed.

“Not yet, but I’m still available,” Gwilym laughed.

Ben sent a glance over at him, one of slight disgust as he squinted his eyes.

You tried to contain your laughter but it was hard, you could tell you were in the room with a bunch of goofballs but you didn’t hate it- in fact, it made them each stand out, it was cute.

Rami caught your attention as he was sitting there, his eyes fixated on something else.

“Something wrong?” You questioned.

“Hmm?” He looked over at you, a bit embarrassed, as if you caught him doing something wrong.

“Nothing. I was just thinking about how beautiful you are,” A small smile formed on his face.

“Don’t mind him, he’s even like this in interviews,” Gwilym said.

“He’s been like this on our dates too,” Joe tried to whisper so Rami couldn’t hear.

“I hope you know, I did hear you, and I do pay attention, just not to your existence or your-” Rami paused and put his hand to his mouth pretending to cough. “Cold. Isn’t that right, John?”

The room got silent for a second as Joe sent Rami a death stare. But his only response was to return it with a sly smirk.

Soon enough Joe tackled Rami off the couch and was playfully pulling at his suit as the other two burst out into laughter.

You laughed too and watched them all turn to you, momentarily stopping the fight.

Joe’s face lit up some, “Guys, she’s laughing at me. I’m funny.”

“Funny to look at…” Rami whispers.

This time, Joe playfully hit him in the arm and got off of him. And they all tried to gain back their composure. Rami fixed his jacket and straightened his tie.

You were still laughing, but soon tried to gather yourself as well. They were all smiling, you could tell that they were enjoying this talk with you.

“Weird that you’re allergic to cats but here you are playing Freddie Mercury, and being all lovey dovey with the creatures. You love them more than you love us,” said Joe.

“Not true,” Rami said with a small frown. “Not my fault that I was hot enough to play the leader.”

“But bloody hell, I was Roger and everyone loves a sexy drummer,” Ben grinned.

Gwilym let out a small chuckle. “Especially Joe.”

Joe blushed and lifted his white dress shirt to cover his face in embarrassment.

Gwilym turned to you and smirked. “Should I tell her that Joe has a cardboard cutout of Ben?”

You eyes floated over to Joe as he continued to stay flustered and quiet. “Is this true Joe…?” you pondered.

Joe tried not to answer for what seemed like an eternity. Soon he pulled the shirt down and replied with a mumbled “Yes.”

“How do you feel about this, Ben?” you felt a little weirded out but you wanted to find out exactly what was going on.

“I feel honored actually,” he laughed. “He only did it because I was never there for them. They were always touring but I had to go, other things to do.”

You looked at him and than your eyes grew slightly worried. “Does that mean that you won’t be here for me?”

The other three turned to look at Ben, all with faces of questioning.

“N-no of course not!!” Ben stuttered. He seemed surprised that he told on himself, even though you already knew.

“Um, (y/n), could I steal you for a second?” Rami asked, breaking the slight tension in the room and taking his chance to get some alone time with you.

“Not on my watch,” Gwil said pushing him to the side as he grabbed his guitar. “Well, you are a big Queen fan, mind if I play something?” he looked at you so earnestly that you decided to nod.

You all started singing Somebody to Love together, each of you pitching in with different verses. You started to feel at home with these boys. Chris Harrison was surprised when he walked back in to see you all together - the guys were generally more possessive over the bachelorette.

“Well, (y/n), it’s the end of the night. It’s time to give the out the first impression rose. Who will it be?”

The Academy Awards Noms are in...

The ole’ academy has named the 2019 nominations for their latest incarnation. And boy was it, eh.

First off, the fact that Death of Stalin isn’t nominated for anything is reason alone to protest the show. I’m not going to but dang guys, come on. The Favourite gets 10 nominations but Stalin can’t get one?

Kind of surprised in general by the lack of diversity in the movies itself. Minus the foreign film category, there is roughly only about a dozen films were nominated for all of the awards. Why not use some of the secondary categories to recognize other outstanding films that were made that weren’t quite good enough to be the best. How about a nomination for a film like a Heredity for best score or Mandy for best cinematography. Did A Star is Born really need another nomination?

The best picture category has 8 nominations this go around. Not quite ten yet, including a movie like BlackkKlansman is a big plus in my book. Is it a lifetime achievement award for Spike Lee? Could be but that’s kind of how the academy works sometimes. On the other side of things, I guess Blank Panther can be counted as well for surprise nomination except,

I’m not taking some kind of Bill Maher stance against comic book movies but, was Black Panther really one of the best movies of the year? Maybe one of the best experiences for a lot of moving going people. It certainly is a cultural milestone in the film biz. However, as far as movies go, just like The Dark Knight a decade before, it was a fun superhero movie that had good moments. Good moments don’t make an Academy Award-winning film.

Whoever is running the Bohemian Rhapsody public relations arm is a genius who needs a raise. Not only has the movie cleaned up at the box office, it has multiple nominations for a movie that is a paint by numbers storyline at best. There’s certainly no qualms about a nomination for Rami Malek who is superb at channeling the idea of Freddy Mercury. A best picture nod? You’d have to go back many years to find such an average movie rising to the chosen level of academy movie.

It’s another mixed bag year. There isn’t one movie that stands heads and shoulders above the rest. I hope there are some on the list that we are actually talking about in five years. Heck, in five years, let’s hope we are still talking about movies at all. Who knows what the future will bring. Or, should I say, what the future our overlords Netflix will bring.
