NALUJUK NIGHT
Krampus gets all the attention for terrorizing kids during the holidays, but have you heard of the Nalujuk? Masked, dressed in animal furs, and carrying spears, these terrifying characters appear out of the night to give gifts to the good kids, while also chasing and beating the bad kids. This beautiful and stunning mini-doc is a look into this little known fascinating cultural tradition of the Inuit communities. This felt like part horror movie, part docu-mystery series ala In Search Of, which I really love.

Photographing Jimmy Page and Jack White: Creating your own opportunities
I met and photographed Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Jack White of … well, all sorts of things. To do this, I had to make it happen. Here’s how I managed to do so. It never hurts to ask In 2009, my friend Christal Smith announced on Facebook, “So excited! I am going to be interviewing Jimmy Page and Jack White!” Excited, I mentioned this to my girlfriend. “I’d like to photograph them!” “She…

Talking with Ryan White
One of the most impressive documentarians who emerged out of the 2010s is Ryan White. He co-directed the PBS doc Pelada in 2010. One of my favorite docs of the 2013 Independent Film Festival Boston was his doc Good Ol’ Freda about Freda Kelly, the longtime secretary for The Beatles. I named it my #3 Documentary of 2013 and #22 of the 2010s. He followed that up with The Case Against 8 about California’s ban on same-sex marriage, the Serena Williams doc Serena, the Netflix mini-series The Keepers, the Dr. Ruth doc Ask Dr. Ruth, the legal doc Assassins, the Apple TV+ mini-series Visible: Out on Television, and the groundbreaking illustrator doc Coded. Talk about a diversity of documentary subjects! White has taken on numerous subjects: music, politics, sports, investigative crime, legal, historical and media figures. His new doc Good Night Oppy is one of his most ambitious docs yet. It follows Opportunity, the Mars exploration rover that was expected to last 90 days and lasted 15 years, showing the NASA team and Oppy’s journey. I highly recommend seeing this on a big screen with a grand sound system. I recently caught up with Mr. White via phone. 
Tumblr media
director Ryan White
Me: Congrats on the new doc! I understand you actually got your start on WGBH’s Frontline?
RW: Yeah, my first film job was in Boston. When I was in college, I did two Summers in Boston doing internships. I worked for a filmmaker David Sutherland who was in Newton. That’s where I kind of learned the craft for the first time.
Me: How did this documentary Good Night Oppy come together? Did NASA contact you about this project? Did you contact them?
RW: Well, kinda neither. [laughs] So the project was brought to me by Film 45 and Amblin Entertainment, Steven Spielberg’s company. They had approached NASA about doing a documentary about Opportunity Mission. So NASA is very protective over their archives. But I think having a company of Amblin’s caliber persuaded them to make the documentary and the defining documentary about Opportunity’s mission. They were the ones who got NASA on board. They approached me about directing it and that was in March of 2020 when we began the film.

Me: There are a lot of documentaries that don’t lose a lot when you watch them at home or on a device. This is very much a big screen movie. I say this as someone who watched this on my laptop, but it is very much a big screen movie. Can you tell me about your visual approach to this epic subject matter?
RW: My idea from the beginning was that if we are going to make this movie, let’s take the audience to Mars. And is it possible in the world of visual effects now to do that in a completely photoreal and authentic way? I didn’t know that when we began. I didn’t know if that was possible. But we began those conversations because Amblin has worked with visual effects so much on so many of their films and TV series, and they set me up to have a lot of conversations with a lot of visual effects houses. Industrial Light and Magic, who were one of the producers on the film, they were the ones who really favored the opportunity to create a completely authentic Mars. They had done Mars in other projects before but it had never been a photoreal Mars. As opposed to an actor in a desert in Utah, creating the world of Mars around that actor. But they were really excited about the opportunity to create a completely authentic Mars that would be derived from the photography of the robots and the photography of the satellites that orbit around Mars. We had access to hundreds of thousands of photos from NASA, we knew the weather every day, we knew everything the robots were going through. So Industrial Light and Magic, even when they were lighting some of these scenes they were completely aware of the weather and PAL levels in the air. So it really was a documentary way of doing visual effects. 
Me: Like you just mentioned, you worked with Amblin Entertainment and ILM. What was it like for you to work with these companies that have brought so much science to the masses through entertainment?
RW: It was a dream. My favorite film growing up, and still I say my favorite film today, is E.T. That was really an inspiration for this film even though E.T. is fiction, it is a very similar narrative trajectory in the sense that the protagonist is a non-human character and they’re on this journey and at the end of the story you’re going to have to say goodbye to that character. And so, Spielberg is kind of a hero of mine and I’m sure he is for most filmmakers. And [ILM Founder] George Lucas as well. So, you know, it wasn’t like I was on the phone George Lucas and Steven Spielberg everyday making this film [laughs] but getting to work with their companies and they have such incredible people at these companies, was a dream as a filmmaker. And especially as a doc filmmaker, where you don’t normally work in those worlds where you would meet ILM. I’ve done animation on my films in the past, but you don’t need the best visual effects company in the world to be working on my previous films. This one needed to have that high bar.
Me: It’s interesting you mention the influence of E.T. because there is a real heart and emotion to this story in Good Night Oppy about how one can begin to love something that’s not even human and become emotionally attached. Tell me about how you approached that as a documentary director.
RW: Well you know we used the term Anthropomorphize a lot. Actually a cultural anthropologist came into JPL [NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labs] and did a study between the scientist and engineers and the robot. Before I even began the film that was one of the first things I watched, which was her giving a talk and reading her paper about anthropomorphizing these robots. Why these scientists and engineers are very rational practical people who for lack of a better term, fell love with this robot. It was so fascinating to listen to her conclusions about it. Our mantra in the edit room was always “we can’t anthropomorphize the robots any more than the scientists who made them and love them and are willing to”. That was always where we wished that on ourselves. Even in the visual effects we were constantly consulting with NASA to see if the way that the robot was moving, the way her head would move, the way the lenses in her eyes would move were not becoming cartoony and was authentic to the way that she or they operated.
Me: Your previous doc The Case Against 8 played at the Independent Film Festival Boston in 2014, which was the same year that my doc Life on the V: The Story of V66 had its World Premiere there as well. So I feel like we’re peers, we’re both in that Class of 2014 for IFFBoston.
RW: Yeah!
Tumblr media
movie poster
Me: And with The Case Against 8 it went on to be recognized by so many awards and organizations and it really made an impact. Was it important to you to use documentary as a medium to bring attention to causes and issues that can bring awareness to people?
RW: That’s a really interesting question and my honest answer is no. That’s not my interest in filmmaking. My genesis in filmmaking is that I was a huge film nerd, but it was all fiction films. I don’t think I knew what documentaries were when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. And I loved photography, so it was all photography in middle school and high school and that’s what I thought my career was going to be, non-fiction photography. So my passion has always been films, whether they’re documentary or fiction, but character-based. So even when I dabbled in something like The Case Against 8, like you said, and Good Night Oppy definitely has themes to it that are hugely important like climate change or exploration. But my intro into the films I make are characters. As you know as a documentary filmmaker, it takes years to make these films and so you have to fall in love with the story and I have to fall in love with the characters. So that’s always my entry point is the characters. If there are larger themes around them that can impact change that’s great but that’s never my goal in why I take on a film. 
Me: Right, the goal should be the film itself and if there’s things that can be done as a result thereafter great. I very much agree with that.
RW: Yeah, exactly. I love watching that happen afterwards, but that’s never the reason why I’m making a film. 
Me: I am a lifelong Beatle fanatic and your documentary Good Ol’ Freda I actually saw at the IFFBoston in 2013, speaking of IFFBoston.
RW: Oh really? 
Me: Yeah, I saw it there. I included it in my Top Documentaries of 2013 and of the decade. It was one of the few independent films to license Beatle songs on the soundtrack. Tell me about being able to shine a light onto an unknown part of The Beatles’ history.
RW: It’s funny you asking about that, because just last night I was talking with one of the programmers from IFFBoston about it and that project was such a fan film, it almost wasn’t even meant to be a film, more like a family-based project because I had family in Liverpool and Freda Kelly was a great family friend of ours. I didn’t even know she was The Beatles secretary growing up when I would see her at birthdays or weddings. The idea of that was just to sit down with her and document her story so that her grandson would have those once she passed away. It was never even supposed to be a movie, but it’s very ironic and it’s come very full circle, because Good Night Oppy has “Here Comes the Sun” in it. I think that’s like The Beatles’ number one song on Spotify, right? So it's definitely one of their massive massive hits. And I had a very unique experience because of Good Ol’ Freda and what it’s like to try to license Beatles music. Good Ol’ Freda was definitely a huge feat at the time. The Beatles’ were not licensing their music to film or television in 2013 when Good Ol’ Freda came out. We were like the little film that pulled off the impossible then. They have definitely started to license their music more, I hear it more and more. But still I knew how difficult it was. When I knew we were going to be using “Here Comes the Sun”, I know how difficult it would be and our music supervisor was amazing. She said “By the way, Beatles’ music is almost impossible to get permission to. The other artist that’s almost impossible is Abba.” And that was another major scene in our film. I think it’s really a testament to the story of Good Night Oppy that all of these record labels said yes to it. When you hear the logline of “A robot that was supposed to live for 90 days and survived for 15 years” and its a true story, it’s not Wall-E. People want to be a part of that. It warms peoples hearts for whatever reason. We were very grateful, but we were also shocked to be getting these yeses from places that would not normally say yes especially on a documentary budget.
Tumblr media
Kelly and White
Me: I am a firm believer that if you are going to make a Beatles documentary, you need to shed some new light on them, otherwise you’re just reiterating what The Beatles Anthology or Compleat Beatles already did. So when I first heard about this, I was like “Oh, the secretary for The Beatles, didn’t know about her!” So when I saw it, by the end of the movie I realized it wasn’t even a Beatles documentary. It was her story and they were in the background with Freda in the foreground.
RW: Yeah, I mean I like The Beatles as much as the average Joe does, but I never wanted to make a Beatles film. I think its now in the Beatles canon of films and books. But that isn’t why I made it, it was all about Freda. Its not that different than Good Night Oppy. Good Ol’ Freda is like a Cinderella story because its about this woman who should never have had the opportunities she did, she was just some small town girl and she just ended up in the craziest most insane circumstances that you could ever imagine and she has a story to tell because of that. Most of my films are similar to that. Where someone - usually a woman because most of my films have been about women - that found themselves in these incredible circumstances and are looking back on it. 
Me: What’s next for you?
RW: Similar to what I was just talking about with women who found themselves in incredible circumstances and challenges, I have a film about Pamela Anderson that will be coming out early next year. I’ve been documenting her life for the past couple of years and it’ll be out in early 2023.
Good Night Oppy is now playing in theaters and will be on Amazon Prime Video on November 23: https://amazonstudiosguilds.com/titles/good-night-oppy/

I've been watching natural disaster documentaries and I'm so down bad for the idea of Platonic Yandere! Batfam during a blizzard.
They obviously have enough supplies to maintain a small village, so no one is pressed when sudden snow picks up. Batman has special cold-resistant suits for all of them but when the windchill drops to the negatives, their patrols are an hour at a time.
When the blizzard finally hits, they escort stranded cars to safety for as long as possible before the white-out makes it impossible to work.
That first night, they're all huddled in the the smallest lounge, fireplace roaring and hot chocolate in hand. You're pulled to the very front of the pile, bundled in blankets and Tim's various school hoodies and up against the rolling heat of the flames.
Despite the temperature breaking record lows, you've never been more toasty. Chocolate on your tongue and cheeks hot from the fire, they only let you unbundle yourself when you complain about sweating.
However much the others bitch and moan, Jason and Bruce are the ones at your side. They're packed full of muscle and do a great job of trapping in heat, so the skinnier Bats have to settle for watching you. Jason and Bruce take great pleasure in draping a big arm around you, pinning you so close to their sides that you have to fold your arms to keep them from getting squeezed.
Bruce insists you sleep in his bed, since this is one of the few times he gets to fall asleep at the same time as you. Damian insists, on account of being the least efficient at maintaining heat (i.e. the smallest), he should join you two. Bruce relents with an amused smile. You fall asleep pulled almost fully across Bruce's chest with Damian wound tightly around you.
The whole situation would almost be reminiscent of a family enjoying the winter holidays, had it not been for the Bat’s palpable longing.
Normally, they're desperate to touch you, to hold onto some part of your person and bask in the closeness. But with their fingertips cold and a slight shake to their limbs—they're ravenous.
Their yearning mixes with the cold and spurs on their dark thoughts more than the heat ever has. They have to hold you or they'll die. They have to feel your warm breath fan their faces. They have to take your body heat and to give you theirs.
Physical intimacy seems so much more personal when they could die from the cold (never mind the fact that they're at a healthy temperature).
Fights break out faster as they get more clingy, and Bruce creates a rigid schedule. The Bats must follow the rotation by the second, no bartering time for favors, and no incapacitating others to extend your time.
The weak sun travels the sky and snow swallows houses whole. Almost two days in, the power cut and everyone was forced to move into the small living room. Using the back-up generators, they powered only a few important rooms in the house and set up space heaters in every corner. Blankets were nailed over windows and Damian and Tim had a mini bitch-session over the unusable internet connection.
Dick and Jason carried down mattresses, while Tim, Cass, and Steph found every blanket and pillow in the house. Damian and Bruce brought up laptops, monitors, and a radio for work. Alfred is forced into the recliner with an instant water heater and a teapot by his side. He hasn't complained once, but everyone knows the cold isn't kind to his joints.
Then there's you, sitting on a pile of blankets and pillows and wrapped in sweaters, throws, hats, and gloves. You almost threw a fit because you were warm enough, but Cass's darkened face silenced you immediately. She backed off when you settled into Steph's side, gloves and all.
The time passes slowly. On the third and worst day, the wind chill reached negative 50. The house rattled and creaked against the cold, and the Bats took turns nestled against you.
Dick flipped through his old high school year book and told you stories about the students, while Steph chimed in with made up-ones to add drama.
You and Damian played a game that involved finishing each other's drawings.
Tim pretended to be stuck on a video game level and let you help. Cass somehow procured a party horn that she honked to celebrate each victory.
Despite how hard Jason tried to avoid Bruce, they always finished their books at the same time and left to get more. They returned with arm-fulls of books and a frozen snack that they shared with you.
At the end of the week, when the sun finally began melting the snow and the were having an increasingly difficult time keeping Bruce from the cowl, they were all sick of each other.
It was slightly satisfying, considering you never caught a break from any of them and this was a taste of their own medicine. The Bats finally returned to duty after a spectacular meltdown from Dick after Bruce asserted his opinion one too many times.
You, however, remained locked in the living room nest for several more days because "it's still too cold for you to sleep alone" and "patrols will be very short until crime picks back up."
It was already safe to return to your room, but there was something so comforting about knowing precisely where you'd be at any given moment. And Bruce, settling into the couch after patrol to thaw his frozen limbs, melted at the sight of his kids all piled up together.

Sacheen Littlefeather (Apache/Yaqui/Ariz.), the Native American actress and activist who took to the stage at the 1973 Academy Awards to reveal that Marlon Brando would not accept his Oscar for The Godfather, has died. She was 75.
Littlefeather died at noon Sunday at her home in the Northern California city of Novato surrounded by her loved ones, according to a statement sent out by her caretaker. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which reconciled with Littlefeather in June and hosted a celebration in her honor just two weeks ago, revealed the news on social media Sunday night.
Littlefeather disclosed in March 2018 that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, and it had metastasized in recent years. Brando had decided to boycott the March 1973 Oscars in protest of how Native Americans were portrayed onscreen as well as to pay tribute to the ongoing occupation at Wounded Knee, in which 200 members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) faced off against thousands of U.S. marshals and other federal agents in the South Dakota town. Speaking in measured tones but off-the-cuff — Brando, who told her not to touch the trophy, had given her a typed eight-page speech, but telecast producer Howard Koch informed her she had no more than 60 seconds — she continued, “And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry … and on television in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee.” Littlefeather’s remarks were met in the building by a smattering of boos as well as applause, but public sentiment in the immediate aftermath of her appearance was largely negative. Some media outlets questioned her Native heritage (her father was Apache and Yaqui and her mother was white) and claimed she rented her costume for the ceremony, while conservative celebrities including John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Charlton Heston — three actors who had starred in many a Western — reportedly criticized Brando and Littlefeather’s actions. As she was becoming an indelible part of Oscar lore, Wayne “was in the wings, ready to have me taken off stage,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 2016. “He had to be restrained by six security guards.” 
Regardless, nearly 50 years later, the Academy issued her an apology.
“The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified,” then-AMPAS president David Rubin wrote to her in a letter dated June 18. “The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration.”
Although Brando’s stunt had the intended effect of renewing attention on Wounded Knee, Littlefeather said it put her life at risk and killed her acting career, claiming that she lost guild memberships and was banned from the industry. (In addition, the Academy subsequently prohibited winners from sending proxies to accept — or reject — awards on their behalf.)
“I was blacklisted — or, you could say, ‘redlisted,'” Littlefeather said in her documentary. “Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett and others didn’t want me on their shows. … The doors were closed tight, never to reopen.”
Littlefeather managed to appear in a handful of films (The Trial of Billy Jack, Johnny Firecloud and Winterhawkamong them) before she quit acting for good and earned a degree in holistic health from Antioch University with a minor in Native American medicine. Her work in wellness included writing a health column for the Kiowa tribe newspaper in Oklahoma, teaching in the traditional Indian medicine program at St. Mary’s Hospital in Tucson, Arizona, and working with Mother Teresa on behalf of AIDS patients in the Bay Area. She would go on to serve as a founding board member of the American Indian AIDS Institute of San Francisco.

Tumblr media
A floral aroma hits your nose the second you enter the bedroom. The rest of the house holds the scent of weed, and the scattered lighters in the living room tell you enough. The lights are low, and a nature documentary is paused on the television screen across from the bed, but no trace of your girlfriend is visible from the doorway. Remnants of white powder cling to the oak furniture you recently bought, and her credit card lies beside the evidence of a chased high. Wanda D. Maximoff is stamped into the card, already an obvious give away as to who the perpetrator is. The room spins as you walk deeper into it, and clumsily your body collides with the bedpost.
The fan is running in the bathroom, and the faintest tinge of yellow peeks out from beneath the door, shining into the room like slivers of sunlight hitting a prism. The shower isn’t running, and neither is the sink, either of the two an indicator that she’s ready to call it a night. It’s approaching two am now, and the sunlight that filled the bedroom before has turned to inky midnight. The spontaneous night out with some girlfriends from work has left you giggly, artificial cherry on your lips as your tongue swipes across them. You don’t bother knocking as you enter the bathroom, though the seconds you spend fumbling with the doorknob are enough warning that you’re coming in, not that she’d mind either way.
The sight of her, sprawled out on the floor, brown hair scattered about and bloodshot eyes staring at the ceiling gives you a pause for a second before you burst into giggles that shake the gold chains holding your dress up. The skimpy black number was one of Wanda’s personal favorites, but your girlfriend hadn’t been home when you left to comment on it. If she had been, your neck wouldn’t be as clear as it is now, only soft, healing hickeys remain from nights prior, not too bad for your usually bruised up appearance. Wanda startles at your added sound, but her eyes never peel away from their concentrated dedication to the fan on the ceiling. There’s an abandoned bowl laying next to her, and your customized red lighter is left on the countertop next to a bottle of water. Having to hear her whine about how dry her mouth is when she’s high is a nuisance, so you’ve begun to leave bottles of water in her favorite smoking spots, and clearly, it did you some good.
“Baby!” Your voice drags, slightly slurred together and raised in pitch as you tumble to the floor to lay beside her. Hating when your hair ends up in your face, you’d been proactive for a change, and had decided to braid it for your night out, and as you fall to the ground, it whacks Wanda in the face, but you don’t notice, too absorbed in trying to see what she’s so interested in. “I missed you!” When the fan no longer interests you, because why would it, you roll on top of her effectively elbowing her in the chest, and it’s enough of a commotion to finally break her concentration. The second her eyes are on you, a darkness blooms in the typically evergreen centers. Her huff of surprise for the air being knocked out of her lungs is only a half second long, before she's scanning your smudged makeup and biting down on her bottom lip that's in desperate need of some chapstick. “You smoked without me!”
“You weren’t home.” The accented edge to her words sends warmth spiraling down your bones. The alcohol having already flushed your cheeks and tickled your belly only amplified the desire that burned in your bones, igniting a flame so hot you were sure tomorrow wouldn’t see the light of day. “You look hot.” Her hands leave where they had been lying flat on the tile floor, grabbing your ass in rough handfuls that make you giggle.
“Mmm, wore your favorite dress. Maria got a little handsy. I think it’s a fan favorite.” You taunted her, dancing your lips across hers before pulling away to look at her face fully. Cocaine is still clinging to her porcelain skin, dusted between her nose in what looks like an attempt to wipe it away. Whatever makeup she’d been wearing before was gone, only a faint stain of black below her eyes that indicated she’d been rubbing her eyes before she took her mascara off. You shouldn't be so bothered by the state of her, but the combination of her wandering hands and hungry eyes was pulling you apart piece by piece.
Wanda growled at the mention of your mutual friend who was known for her wandering hands and sultry commentary, though it didn’t bring Wanda any amusement to hear about her interest in the dress. Not when she wasn’t around to remind Maria that you were hers. Your attention drops to Wanda's exposed neck, and your teeth find a home sinking into the soft flesh. Hints of her perfume twist with the scent of cocaine and marijuana, and it's entirely intoxicating. “Maria needs to learn to keep her hands to herself.”
“And what if she doesn’t?” Mischief swims in your eyes, and you sink your teeth into a particularly sensitive spot on Wanda’s neck, just beneath her ear. Her breath hitched, her hands grabbing at the fabric of your dress around your hips. Her entire body shudders, and for a moment, she freezes entirely to just enjoy the sensation that travels through her previously numb limbs.
Your tongue soothed the bite, dancing circles around the marks you’d left. Wanda’s eyes fluttered shut, bunching your dress up around your hips in favor of twisting the ridge of your lace panties between her delicate fingers. “Do I need to remind you who you belong to?”
“Why don’t you remind me?” You nipped her neck a final time before pulling away to watch her process your words, which were more like a silent invitation for her to have her way with your body.
Wanda shoved you off of her messily, a growl crawling from the depth of her throat as she watched you smirk like you’d been caught with your hand in the cookie jar. “Get in the bedroom.”
“What? Don’t want to fuck me on the bathroom floor? Again.” Your breath tickled her wet skin, a cold shill crawling up her spine that she very narrowly avoided reacting to. “I’m sure Maria would.”
“Go.” Her tone left no room for arguments this time, and you scrambled to comply, although clumsily with your still strapped heels and spinning vision. Giggles spilled from between your lips when you rammed into the doorframe, completely absorbed in completing Wanda’s direction and not noticing how she spent a few extra minutes fumbling for something in the bathroom.
Your body sank into the soft bed, black sheets blending into the tiny dress you squeezed yourself into. The skin tight material still bunched around your hips in messy folds, exposing the front of your lacy black thong that left little to the imagination. Suddenly aware of how desperate you were without Wanda’s neck as a distraction, one hand slid between your legs while the other fumbled to grab your breasts through the thin material. Your panties were soaked through, sticking to your folds uncomfortably. Your thighs spread without any invitation, and you pulled them aside desperate for attention where you most needed it.
Eyes fluttering shut at the first stroke against your engorged clit, you didn’t hear Wanda shutting the cabinets and turning off the bathroom lights, only feeling her presence when a hand grabbed around your neck and startled you enough that your antsy fingers stilled between your legs.
“Did I tell you to touch yourself?” She growled, leaning over you with a dominating presence. Your head shook side to side quickly, your pussy abandoned. You ached for something more, but words failed you as you stared back at her. Something landed beside your head, but before you could look to see what it was Wanda was demanding more from you. “Use your words, you had no problem doing that before.”
“N-No.” You spluttered, fighting to keep your eyes open the longer she held your neck. Her fingers tightened, and it was then you realized she was still wearing her rings, the metal digging into your skin harshly.
“No, who?” The words pulled the breath out of your lungs, and you’re sure you looked like a fish out of water scrambling to find the right words to answer her. “Huh? Don’t make me wait. No, who.”
“N-No, Mommy.” You managed, gasping for breath when her hand finally left your neck, and it was only then you realized she had dug out your red strap, and her hand was holding the base tightly.
“Stupid slut.” She scoffed, moving backward so she was standing farther from the end of the bed. “Since you had so much to say before, I figured we’d put that mouth to use. Get on your knees.”
You dropped to your knees so fast you were sure they’d be bruised by the morning, but the only thing you could think about was how badly you wanted to feel her in your mouth. Bracing your hands on her thighs, you waited for her to instruct you to begin, knowing you were already playing a dangerous game. A smirk crept onto her lips at your clear impatience, and she was no stranger to making you wait. Spitting on her hand, she brought it down to the silicone cock, spreading it around teasingly. You whined, silently begging her to stop her torture and let you have a taste.
“What's wrong? See something you like?” Your girlfriend taunted, throwing her head back as she stroked the silicone cock, your favorite of the collection you’ve acquired since getting together a few years ago.
“Please.” You begged with hooded eyes, wanting to be the one that was turning her on and giving her pleasure.
“Please what?” Wanda cooed, voice dripping with lust as she watched you writhe in front of her, desperate for anything she wanted to give you. “Do you want to suck my cock? Feel it against your tongue? Let me fuck your mouth? Is that it?”
You nodded, tears pooling in your eyes the longer she made you wait. Your thighs pinched together, looking to relieve the aching in where you needed her most. She didn’t say anything about your actions, and for that you were grateful, but it wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy you and she knew that. “Please. Please let me suck your cock, Mommy.”
“Get on with it then.” You wasted no time, one hand holding onto the base of the strap while the other stayed in place on her thigh. Her salvia has slickened the silicone, making it easier for you to take more of it quickly. She was heavy against your tongue, and for a second, you just enjoyed the feeling, before you began working the length with your hand and your mouth, hollowing your cheeks and letting the bulbous head ram into the back of your throat, desperate to please.
Wanda’s hand fell onto your head, a guttural moan leaving her lips watching you take her length. The strap wasn’t small by any means, one of your bigger ones, and yet you devoured her. Your eyes watered when she began to thrust at first shallowly, but losing her reserve the longer she watched you endure it. You gagged when she forced your nose to her pelvis, the cock practically down your throat, but she didn’t pull away, forcing you to feel her and remember who owned your throat. She pulled away with a pop, ready to absolutely obliterate your pussy.
“Strip. Panties and heels stay on.” You scrambled to comply, rising to your feet with shaky movements, not only from the anticipation of finally getting what you want, but the alcohol that was still coursing through your system. “Hands and knees. Ass up.”
Your dress ended up in a puddle on the floor to be dealt with later, and the bed sank with your weight as you got into position, impatiently pushing your hips backward to meet the scarlet strap. A slap left your ass cheek tingling, your body jolting forward in shock.
“Patience.�� Wanda demanded thickly, sokovian accent twisting her words into something dangerous. Your entire body shuddered in anticipation, keeping your eyes forward knowing how much she likes it. You jumped when her fingers found your panties, tracing the lace design before slipping lower. Wanda groaned at how wet you are, thighs glistening with your arousal and panties clinging to your folds. She pulls them to the side, fingers toying with your lips and narrowly avoiding your clit each time she makes a pass around your pussy. “What got you this wet, moya lyubov'? Hmmm?”
With shaky breath, your head dropped onto the comforter, fists balling up the cotton material, “Y-You, Mommy. You did. You got me this wet.”
Her fingers pressed against your weeping entrance but never farther, pushing you farther and farther toward the edge of desperation, and from experience, you knew it was a steep fall. She wanted you at you breaking point, she wanted you to remember who owned you the next time you decided to fuck around. “Not Maria? But I thought you liked her touching what's mine?”
Brattiness tempted you to fuck with her, but your desperation to be touched was winning the fight, and you bit back your sarcastic answer in favor of finally feeling her and being given some relief. “N-no. I like when you touch me. I’m yours.” You gasped when she slipped two fingers inside of you, giving you a second to adjust before she began to scissor your sopping pussy. Every ridge of your pussy fit her fingers like a glove, and Wanda yearned to hear your whimpers as you sought out pleasure at her control.
“You gonna let Maria get handsy with you again when I’m not around?” Her fingers were set at a brutal pace, but still she avoided your aching clit that was begging for attention. Your hips stuttered, your eyes pinched shut so impossibly tight you thought you were seeing starts. When her fingers caressed the sweet spot inside of you, all thoughts vanished from your mind as you whined for more and less at the same time. “Are you. Going to. Let her. Get handsy. With you. Again?” Wanda repeated, annunciating each word with a harsh stroke against your g-stop.
“N-no! No I’m n-not! Please. Please!” You needed more. You needed her cock in your pussy, pounding you into the bed, or her fingers on your clit, you needed something more than just her brutal pace going in and out of your cunt knowing full well you wouldn’t be able to cum from just that.
“Please what, moya lyubov'?” She taunted, stilling her fingers all together but not pulling them out, just leaving you full enough to want more.
“Fuck me already!” You sobbed, turning your head to meet her eye, watching how she enjoyed breaking you down for her to play with.
“Are my fingers not enough for this slutty pussy? You need more? Desperate whore wants to get fucked?” She teased, pulling her fingers away from you completely and watching strings of wetness bead between her knuckles as she plays with your slick. She moans when she tastes you, fingers running your wetness across her tongue. “Get on your back.”
You watch as she walks away, pulling out a pre-rolled blunt and a lighter she stole from Natasha the last time the redhead was over. The black design stood out in the otherwise near darkness, the gold snake that wrapped around your favorite design in the stolen collection you both kept adding too. Wanda lit up, grimacing at the first hit that burnt the back of her throat. She blew the smoke out in a near perfect o shape, taking another drag before she came back to you. She passed off the blunt, climbing over top of you when you accepted it and took a drag. The grungy taste of smoke filled your mouth, adding to the heaviness in your limbs almost instantly.
“You ready?” She asked, positioning the bulbous head of the dildo with your entrance. You nodded, taking another drag before offering it to her. Her lips wrapped around it angelically, a stark contrast to how filthy the both of you were being. Wanda wasted no time, burying the dick in your pussy in one thrust, and setting a brutal pace as she fucked you.
Your eyes rolled to the back of your head, the blunt burning a hole in the comforter as ash fell off. You gasped at her brutal pace, reaching to set the blunt in the ashtray on your bedside table, immediately bringing your newly free hands to her back, digging your nails into her bare skin. Her tits bounced with each thrust, hanging over you with an invitation to pinch her perfectly pink nipples. Wanda's hands squeezed at your hips, gliding down your body until they reached your thighs. Pulling your legs further apart, the head of her cock rammed into your cervix, shooting white ropes of pleasure through every nerve in your body. Your back arched off the back, nipples pointed to the sky as you searched for more. The pebbled buds taunted your girlfriend, who leaned down hungrily and took one between her teeth, pulling at the sensitive flesh that was a one way shot to your clit.
“Please Wands, touch my clit.” You begged, tears welling in your eyes as pleasure built. Wanda's pace was brutal, and you were impossibly full, but she had still yet to touch your clit and every nerve in your body was burning with need.
“Hand me the vibrator.” She grit out through clenched teeth, leaving your nipples in favor of pointing to the scarlet vibrator she’d thrown on the bed before. Your hand fumbled to grab it, limbs shaking not only from the power of her thrusts but from desire. “God, I love this pussy.”
Wanda switched the vibrator to its second highest setting, settling it right on your sensitive nub. A sharp whine left your lips, back arching and hands searching for her skin. Your nails dragged marks down her back, your orgasm approaching quickly as she worked your over sensitive body.
“O-Oh, o-oh! Right there, r-right there!” You gasped, digging your nails into her hips, hips writhing to meet her thrusts and fall over the edge that was just out of reach. A hand slapped your cheek before moving onto pinch your nipples, your body alight with so many sensations you didn’t know how to react. “I-Im gonna cum! Mommy! O-oh I'm so close! I'm so close!”
Wanda slapped you again, shaking her head with pinched shut eyes, “Hold it.”
“I can’t!” You moaned, head thrown back and neck perfectly exposed for her to grab. Her fingers wrapped around your soft skin, squeezing in all the places that made you melt and worked you up simultaneously. Your head felt so heavy, your limbs each weighing a couple hundred pounds as they dropped onto the sheets and grabbed handfuls. “Wanda! Wanda I’m gonna cum! Im gonna cum!”
Minutes passed without a response from your partner, and the coil in your belly was desperately close to snapping with or without her permission, but before you could warn her, she was speaking, “Cum for me. Cum for me, slut.”
You came with a screech, but Wanda’s thrusts didn’t stop, they only seemed to amplify as she worked you through your climax and fought for her own, switching the vibrator to the highest setting despite the tears already falling from your eyes. “It’s too much. W-Wands it too much!”
Your body was alight will the combination of marijuana and alcohol, and your second orgasm was being pried from your body with a force that could break bones. Your teeth bit into your bottom lip so hard you could taste the metallic tell of blood, but the pleasure was so intense you didn’t care. “C-cum with me! Cum with me, dorogoy. Fuck. F-fuck.” The both of you exploded with a scream, Wanda dropping the vibrator somewhere on the bed and falling on top of you, heaving to catch her breath. The clock on your wall said it was after five am, and the drugs mixed with general exhaustion was pulling on her muscles.
“I love you.” She gasped, pressing soft kisses into your skin and wiggling until her feet weren’t dangling off the edge of the bed anymore. Her thighs were sticky from her orgasm, but neither of you cared to clean yourselves up. You kick your heels off, and Wanda undid the strap, throwing both objects somewhere in the room to clean and put away later.
Shimming out of your soaked panties, you grimace as the cold wetness brushed against your sensitive clit. “I love you too.”
A beat of silence fills the space, and you think she’s fallen sleep before she speaks again, “Did Maria really grab your ass?”
A giggle rustles your chests, and you shake your head while brushing your fingers through her tangled and sweaty hair. “She was too preoccupied with Nat to spare me a second glance.”
“You could’ve just asked to be fucked.” Wanda laughed.
“This was more fun.”

okay i watched all 43 minutes of the james somerton apology video at 1.5x speed, heres a summary for those who dont want to time sink:
- the video is monetized, he says hes giving it all to hbomb so it can go to the people he stole from but the way he words this implies he did not ask him ahead of time. the same allegedly goes for the other videos up on his channel, which are also up because he wants his editor to have a resume to point to
- apologizes for the plagiarism less than 5 minutes in. thanks the people who were nice to him
- says part of why he plagiarized was because hes aware hes a cis white gay man and wanted to be more inclusive of other queer experiences
- but that he has memory issues so he didnt remember to source them a lot of the time. blames this on a head injury as a child and its resulting epilepsy, as well as his recently diagnosed adhd
- also states there was a lot of stress due to his mom dying because she wanted him to make a movie with his portion of her life insurance
- a comical string of errors occured where he would write a script only to realize half way through they couldnt film it. this went on for years until apparently they finally finished one on the night the hbomb vid dropped. this takes up like 15 minutes
- talks at length about how he tried to kill himself and how scared he is of unhinged people who watched hbombs vid
- james will soon be releasing a new video, which according to him will be entirely by him and properly cited. says its more of a documentary than a video essay
- mentions his past videos misinformation but doesnt say what it was over. says it wasnt malicious and they werent trying to lie
- made a new patreon so people have to explicitly resubscribe after this scandal. says this video is not about him promoting himself despite having done a lot of that for the past 15 minutes
- says theres no excuse for what he did despite making excuses earlier in the video
- wants to make a documentary about the author of the celluloid closet, one of the books he stole from
- says "i know its easier to watch a 20-30 minute long youtube video than read a book" when he is under fire for plagiarizing books in his 20-30 minute long youtube videos
he does not mention:
- his misogyny & his responses to previous allegations of plagiarism from smaller creators
- probably other stuff i dont remember
youre welcome
