Hi Merry, its your girl here to talk about the most iconic bi4bi couples, Jessie and Tom (and no I will not take criticism about them being the best!).

So yesterday my mum and I watched Notting Hill, and as I watched it, I couldn't but help to compare it to Starstruck. I'm not sure if you've watched Notting Hill, if you haven't feel free to ignore the rest of this message, but it was really an interesting experience to watch it and think about Starstruck.

Obviously both Starstruck and Notting Hill have very similar premises, and Emma Sidi has talked about the similarity. But one of the things that I found interesting (other than the scenes that paralleled) was the fact that Tom + Jessie and William Thacker have similar mannerism, but more importantly their humour is also very similar (like their quips and what not). HOWEVER, maybe this is me being support my fellow brown actors, but in my opinion, both Tom and Jessie are SO much more charming and funny. I also feel like they have better chemistry then Julie and Hugh. Sorry to all the Notting Hill fans out there. Its pretty wild, because the plots are very similar.

I think this kinda goes back to something that you and Deah may have talked about in the new ep of GayV where you talked about in terms of adaption. Something something the idea of taking something we know and adapting it for a specific audience.

Also, I think its hilarious that in Notting Hill William watches Anna's movies and seems to enjoy them/seeing her. Whereas in Starstruck, Jessie thinks Tom's movies are shit 😭

I am WITH YOU ON EVERYTHING!!! I don't like Notting Hill and never really got what the fuss is about but I've never really liked Hugh Grant as a romcom lead. Again, didn't get what the fuss was about. the only romcom I like him in is Two Weeks Notice but I feel like it's because he's meant to be unlikable in that. I love Julia Roberts as a lead but fully agree she has no chemistry with Hugh or at least not enough. To me, Tom and Jessie in Starstruck a) have more chemistry and b) feel more real and find a better balance between the reality of that kind of scenario and the romantic fantasy whereas I think Notting Hill just doesn't feel grounded enough. Maybe it did at the time, but not now. In terms of adaptation, I think Starstruck is very much for people who love romcoms who are little disillusioned with how clean they are. Starstruck offers an intentionally messier and thus, more loveable homage to these tropes and popular stories and that's why it's so great!!!!!!

I haven’t watched notting hill yet but i am sure it would be better if there were lesbians

#according to netflix: ‘a chance encounter brings together reserved bookstore owner william thacker and hollywood icon anna scott who forge #an improbable romance’#sounds awfully gay to me #except for the fact that it isnt #tragically

mcyt movie night headcanons!

(cc!) Dream , George , Sapnap , Technoblade , Wilbur , Eret , Fundy , Nihachu , Quackity , Karl

requested? yes / no

pronouns used : they / them

cw! light nsfw (Dream) , mentions of jumpscares (horror films)

Dream

he is a big fan of a good old netflix and chill session

something about the warm, dark living room only illuminated by the moving images on the screen, your silhouette barely visible under a blanket and whatever snack you’d found on his cupboard on your hands gets this man in a raunchy mood

he’ll pull you to his lap or slide next to you and start pecking at your neck

“But it’s just getting to the good part”

you stretch your neck to give him more room anyways

“Oh we’re about to get to the good part”

you chuckle and bite your lip to stifle a sigh as his lips begin to trace your jaw

the movie gets paused is what I’m saying

he refuses to buy any snacks from the candy shop whenever you do go to the cinema

“It is unnecessarily expensive!”

“You have twenty million fucking subscribers!”

“BUT FOUR DOLLARS?!”

he has the most creative ways of smuggling sweets

it started with a classic tote bag

it’s become sort of a game

once, he bought the most ridiculously bulgy jacket and wore it in scorching florida weather solely for the purpose of hiding crisps

he laughs easily at movies and his wheeze has made you get kicked out of a movie theatre at least once

will talk about his favourite parts of the movie for hours after it’s finished

will laugh whenever he thinks about the funniest parts for days

George

(sort of George with a film buff s/o)

he doesn’t talk during movies and actively dislikes people who do

will complain if he doesn’t like the film but only in quiet whispers and not if he suspects you are particularly enjoying it

you made him watch a Tarkovsky film one time

he swears he didn’t fall asleep

he did

but he tried his best <3

can’t choose the movie for the life of him so you always end up having to pick

every time you try and analyze color symbolism he’ll chime in

“I’m colorblind”

before you can finish

you bait him honestly

he likes listening to you talk about your favorite movies and all the films you want to show him

he’ll look up facts about your favourite directors and will make fun of your least favourite ones with you

makes a great snobby-tarantino-fan “you’ve not known real cinema until you’ve watched pulp fiction” impression that never fails to make you cackle

he is not a fan of horror films

you tried to make him watch one once

“I don’t really like horror movies but you said this one was good so- WHAT IS THAT?!”

turned it off immediately and you ended up watching the hobbit

Harry potter marathons are a must

he can imitate maggie smith’s accent to perfection

Sapnap

you watch anime together

I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like it

he doesn’t either

he’ll make you watch it

he has good taste though, so you end up enjoying it

cuddles with Sapnap cuddles with Sapnap cuddles with Sapnap

movie playing on the tv, your head in his chest and his hand in your waist, blankets wrapped around you and the AC running just a little bit too cold = his absolute definition of happiness

you binge watch shows in one sitting and then get sad when they’re over

he always burns the goddamn popcorn

daily movie nights!

you order in and eat a late night dinner in bed

Your pick monday, wednesday, friday

his pick tuesday, thursday, saturday

a full on debate on sundays trying to figure out a good middle ground

Whenever the movie runs late and you end up falling asleep, he’ll turn the tv off and quietly pull the blankets over your body before kissing your forehead in the sweetest way imaginable

he yells at the screen

he loves watching horror movies but gets jumpscared easily

“Awww are you scared baby?”

“Shut up y/n I’m only holding you so you don’t get scared”

“I won’t :)”

“...I’m not letting go if that’s what you’re fucking thinking”

Technoblade

(take a shot every time popcorn is mentioned and pass out)

one of your first dates was actually a movie date

he turned and whispered in your ear whenever a clever wip popped in his head and his commentary was so funny you had to bury your face in your hands so your laughter didn’t disturb the other people in the theatre

he talks during movies, he can’t help it

"heh?!"

he doesn’t like cinema popcorn and will exclusively buy chocolate

you didn’t get it until the day he made you try his trademark-techno-popcorn and wow

“holy shit this is great!”

“I know”

he’s completely ruined popcorn for you

“please don’t ever leave me, I don’t think I’ll be able to eat normal popcorn after this”

“wasn’t planning on it”

he is secretly into romcoms

you watch movies in bed, laptop propped in his legs and an obligatory bowl of popcorn in your arms

he plays with your hair for the whole time

you hate-watch bad movies all the time and your chests hurt from laughing by the end

he can easily memorize entire scenes and will repeat them to you in a totally monotone voice

It’s great

has never cried during a movie, is dreadfully proud of himself for it

sometimes he’ll get distracted and just stare at you, movie reduced to white noise in the background

“you’re so pretty”

Wilbur

makes dinner for you whenever you have a movie night

his snack game is kind of weak though, as much as I hate to say it

water and dark chocolate only

if you think he doesn’t insist on rewatching hamilton at least once every two months you are wrong

he is a goddamn hamilton kinnie and he likes the fucking songs okay?

constant change of cuddling positions

you made him sit through the entirety of the twilight saga “as a hate watch”

he now quotes it on a daily basis (never on stream, chat would eat him alive)

“Whaddaya mean team jacob? He’s a glorified furry!”

you watch a lot of documentaries

the way he concentrates on taking in every single bit of information is almost more entertaining than the actual film

he’ll tell you random facts he learnt watching the documentary and you’ll have to remind him that you watched it with him

you act out iconic romance scenes and he gets so into it

he can be anything from Jack Dawson to mr. Darcy and William Thacker and it gives you butterflies every time

you’ll stand up whenever characters are slow dancing and dance along with them

You’ve tried to watch shows together but you always end up forgetting or one of you will binge an entire season and

he’s insufferable when he doesn’t like a film but will refuse to change it

he criticizes the smallest details in a way that would make Anthony Lane look like an absolute sweetheart

you dance to the end credits theme

Fundy

(long distance!)

Netflix parties ALL THE TIME

+ discord calls / facetime

you coordinate snacks

sometimes you’ll switch whatever you’re watching to dutch for a second so he can make fun of the god awful translation

most times,you fall asleep together after the movie ends even if your time zones are far apart

you watch entire shows together, the longer the better

four or five episodes at a time

You both get super invested and will have heated discussions about whether rory should have ended up with logan or jess

whenever you talk about meeting up, watching a movie and actually cuddling comes up

he used to be kind of quiet during movies

he won’t shut up now, it’s fun, having his voice in your ears with whatever film you’re watching in the background makes it seem like he's in bed next to you

his voice would be easy to fall asleep to if he didn’t yell so often

he can guess the precise plot of every single horror movie

like word for word, scene for scene

he gets scared anyways

he sent you one of his hoodies once, after you begged for weeks

you wrap it around a plushie or pillow and cuddle it whenever you watch something together

“can’t believe a fucking sweater gets more action than me”

“oh shut up you big baby”

Eret

lots and lots of movie dates

he has excellent taste in films and shows so you let them choose most times

stacking up on cinema sweets and a huge bucket of popcorn when you go to a theatre

buying tons of crisps and candybars when you hang out at home

not the biggest cuddler in this specific setting

would much rather have her arm around your shoulder and your legs up on their lap

you watch award shows solely for the purpose of roasting the outfits

bed/couch absolutely crammed with plushies and pillows

you always make milkshakes together

not smoothies

not frappes

milkshakes

with syrup, whipped cream and a cherry on top

the night isn’t complete without them

you watch a lot of period films

“you’d look great in that”

“who are you pointing to again?”

“doesn’t matter, you’d look great in everything”

(you’ll get them to wear a corset if it’s the last thing you do)

he turns to kiss your cheek every fifteen minutes

Nihachu

you bake cookies before movie nights and decorate them specifically for the theme of the film

you did a horror marathon once

(it may have been a sneaky way to get her to hide in the crook of your neck but we don’t talk about that)

the plate of cookies flew out of her hands in minutes

she got so worried

“but you worked so hard on the decorations :(“

“it’s fine babe, we’ll just eat the plain ones”

she wrapped her arms around you and kissed your cheek so it was totally worth it

the decorations were kinda shit anyways

you watch a ton of coming of age movies and will listen to the soundtrack for days after

she’s so funny during movies

sometimes a character will do something stupid and her remark will be so absolutely stingy both your hands will fly to your mouths and you’ll stare at each other, eyes wide, before falling into a fit of giggles

simping over powerful women with Niki

you have a huge watchlist of gay films and high five everytime you cross one off

cuddling under a huge pile of blankets

switching sweaters

Zuko climbing unto the laptop and pausing the movie at the most inconvenient times

Quackity

he eats dry cereal during movies because he’s just chaotic like that

you sit on the floor with your backs to the couch and eat takeout and drugstore snacks

the amount of times you’ve watched the fucking bee movie

you like watching things in spanish

everything from crappy soap operas to almodovar films

he likes to translate things and can do it super quick so you never really need subtitles

you watch a lot of superhero movies and he has made you watch Adam Sandler’s entire filmography

the floor always ends up messy and cleaning up afterwards is almost as funny as the film itself

sitcoms!

lots and lots of sitcoms

Karl

pillow fort is obligatory

monster energy drinks and a huge variety of candy

microwave popcorn with too much butter

hot cocoa with too many marshmallows

you mostly watch cartoons and 2010’s nickelodeon shows

scream singing the iCarly theme song and hating on tori from victorious

getting really into the adventure time lore

tickle fights when the film gets boring

he takes recommendations from “indie film” tiktoks and you mock him for it endlessly

he has weirdly obscure knowledge on every show you watch

he has a big colección of dvds/videotapes so you get to watch some oldies

he falls asleep with his head in your lap or your shoulder

he gives you a sweater or hoodie to wear and lends you plaid pyjama pants

you quote movies on stream and have ton of private jokes

can you tell I got lazy at the end?

likes and reblogs are always appreciated and have a wonderful morning/day/afternoon/evening/night <3

Visit Oxford has played a vital role in making the city of Oxford such a wonderful place to not only visit, but to live.

Working diligently to promote the city by offering events throughout the year, such as Double Decker Arts Festival, Visit Oxford sure keeps the town entertained.

So why should you live in Oxford? Here are ‘Visit Oxford’s 7 Reasons To Live In Oxford’:

Arts and Culture

Courtesy of Visit Oxford

For those looking for a place to live with plenty to do on the weekends, Oxford provides a huge variety of art and cultural events in which locals can take advantage. Take part in the monthly Oxford Art Crawl on the Double Decker bus every fourth Tuesday, or take in the new and permanent exhibits at the University Museum. Be sure to catch the Thacker Mountain Radio show, live at Off Square Books on Thursdays, for great music and amazing authors.

Shopping on the Square

Courtesy of OxfordMississippi.com.

Spend your Saturday afternoons walking around the Square and wandering into some charming stores and boutiques, such as Neilson’s, Miss Behavin, Cicada, The Lily Pad, and Landry’s. These shops have the perfect outfits for any fashion occasion: formals, outfit for tailgating, work wear, or Sunday’s best.

Tailgating in the Grove

Speaking of football, if you haven’t spent a Saturday in the Grove then you’ve never truly experienced tailgating. Tailgating in the Grove offers the chance to find yourself in the heart of SEC football on game days. Set up a fancy tent with your friends full of chandeliers, McCarty pottery, fine china, pretty flowers, lavish displays of food, and great company. If you don’t know anyone, just pop in and meet new friends in a tent you don’t know. Hotty Toddy hospitality means you’ll get a warm welcome and a few hot wings.

Music in the Grove

Courtesy of AL.com.

The Grove isn’t only there for tailgating. Every spring and summer, the Grove hosts Music in the Grove and the Summer Sunset Series, which takes place every Sunday in June. Bands come from all over the country to play at one of the most unique and gorgeous venues in America. Past musicians to play in the Grove include Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Need To Breathe and Iron & Wine.

Rowan Oak

Courtesy of Visit Oxford.

For the literary buffs, there is no local, more literary icon than Rowan Oak, the home of Nobel Prize winning author, William Faulkner. You can venture through his garden, hike through Bailey’s woods, or read notes carved in the wall by Faulkner himself. It’s the perfect place to picnic on a quiet afternoon or just relax from a stressful week.

Food

Courtesy of Visit Oxford.

Oxford offers one of the most unique culinary scenes in the country, full of wonderful local cuisine. Oxford is home to five restaurants owned by renowned chef, contestant on Top Chef Masters and James Beard Award Winner, John Currence. His restaurants (known collectively as the City Grocery Group) include Big Bad Breakfast, Bouré, SnackBar, City Grocery and Fat Eddie’s Lamar Lounge. He’s in good company at the many fine restaurants, eateries and diners all around Oxford.

Double Decker Arts Festival

Courtesy of Visit Oxford.

Last, but most certainly not least, is the Double Decker Arts Festival. It’s almost time for the festival, and everyone in Oxford is awaiting the exciting weekend filled with fun, food and music. The festival is the apex of culture and art for Oxford, where it provides the widest selection of regional art and music. At the festival, you can sample the best food and art the South has to offer. The event has hosted some of the biggest names in music, including the Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Michael Franti and Trampled By Turtles. This year’s festival will feature Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, and Dr. John.
