#I love blair and elijah too much

[gummybugg]

🎉Get to Know My OC🎉

Thanks for the tag, @rickie-the-storyteller! Check out hers here (I really love it)! For this round, I am choosing Blair from my WIP Crater City.

I am also tagging these people if they wanna have at it: @rubywrite @flock-from-the-void @my-cursed-prince @new-royston-cursebreakers @zestymimblo and @sam-glade!

There is a small Content Warning, so I slapped them in the tags.

...

In a small, concrete room sits a young man bound by ropes. He is slouched in a folding chair in front of a thick, wooden table. The spotlight that aims directly on his body accentuates his warm features: deep, brown hair that goes down to his neck, blush from acne scars, and a bit of stubble. He wears a pair of heart gauges, an aviator jacket, crocs, and jeans that look like they've fought in the nuclear war and come back to tell their tale. But alas, we are not interviewing a pair of distressed pants today.

He is beginning to come to after being knocked unconscious for the past 45 minutes (Well, it’s better to be safe than sorry).

Blair: Where the fuck am I? (he blinks, confused) Wait, am I being interrogated for my crimes? Now? (he squirms in his chair) I refuse to speak to a lawyer until proven guilty!

Elijah: Blair, listen! If we just do as we're told, we'll be fine.

Blair: Elijah? You’re here, too? If I find out they hurt you-- (nearly tips over in his chair)

Elijah: No, I'm fine, I promise! Let's just get this interview over with so we can leave. Ok?

Blair: Yeah, whatever. But if anyone hurts you (The rope that tie him to his chair drop off his body all at once), I will smash my way through that mirror, grab them by the neck, and--

Me: Ok, ok! Let's get the interview started!

...

[1] Are you named after anyone?

Am I? (Blair looks around in thought.) I don't think so, the last I checked.

[2] When was the last time you cried?

(Blair sighs, throwing his hands on the table. You're sure things are about to get juicy.) Blair: On my way over here, actually! Some cop threw some tear gas at me. (pauses) Nah, I'm just kidding. I was actually having a panic attack about something...(Blair pauses to remember.) I think it was about how if Elijah somehow wound up in heaven and I didn't, would he just leave me behind or bunk with me in the pits of hell? I called him in the middle of the breakdown and everything, and he told me that he's not sure if there is an afterlife, but even if there was, he wouldn't leave me for a bunch of glorified bed sheet-wearing prudes. Then someone came up from behind me and smeared my face with a cloth, and that's how I ended up here! Elijah: (directly into the microphone from the booth) Me and Blair trade existential crises like trading cards. It's become our new favorite Saturday night event.

[3] Do you have kids?

Blair: Rose and Elijah said I shouldn't be trusted around other small, chaotic humans like myself because the last time that happened, an entire fifth-grade class started a traffic light rights campaign. Traffic was backed up for weeks because we “planted the seed of rebellion” in the minds of children. Elijah: No, the police said you "planted the seed of rebellion" in the minds of sentient bots, which I'm not sure how you managed to convince them to rebel in the first place. The children just started a new religion after the streetlights. Blair: I think what started it was when I was driving this parent and her kid somewhere and I cussed out someone driving in front of me for not respecting the traffic light when it told him to go.

[4] Do you use sarcasm?

Blair: Sometimes, yeah, but doesn’t everyone? Like what even constitutes sarcasm, are there actually people who don't use it at all? That seems impossible. Is this a trick question? Like can--is that an amount I can measure? Like ok, so, if one entire day equals a gallon and I speak like probably six gallons, but super fast, as I tend to, then in order to measure how much sarcasm I use would probably be between three cups out of that. So to answer your question, I think so. Maybe? Sure. Elijah: What about for our metric system users out there? Blair: a few hundred milliliters? Fuck if I know. I didn't know I was gonna be quizzed on math equations. Me: The U.S. still hasn't fully converted to the metric system hundreds of years in the future? Elijah & Blair: Nope.

[5] What's the first thing you notice about people?

Blair: The way they sound or act. I can tell if you're gonna be a condescending ass wipe before you even speak. Like for example, the people who dragged me here reek of stomach acid and gravel. But Elijah’s general vibe is like yellow with little bursts of bright light and swirls, like an old-timey screen saver. Elijah: Like the ones you'd find on my uncle's computer? Blair: Is he really that old? (They both laugh)

[6] What's your eye color?

Blair: Black or brown. I'm not sure, I just stare in the mirror and then when I look away, I forget immediately. Elijah looks at them a lot, ask him. (he gives a sly grin at the one-way mirror) (Elijah turns bright red from behind the glass) Elijah: Next question!

[7] Any special talents?

Blair: I do knife tricks with my balisong! Elijah: And he texts me for bandages every other day, so I have essentially become his bandage delivery guy. Blair: Elijah, tell them how you got me Hello Kitty bandages to “deter me from practicing.” Elijah: I…yeah. That didn't work. (Blair raises his hands to reveal neon pink fingers.)

[8] Scary movies or happy endings?

Blair: Scary movies because me and Rose and Elijah used to watch a bunch of gorey sci-fi movies together and laugh at the special effects. Or, at least me and Rose would. Elijah got angry we didn't take his nerdy movies as seriously as he did. Elijah: You just can’t appreciate old cinematography! Blair: True cinematography is The Dinosaurs Before Time. But you wouldn’t know since you always cry five minutes in and then we have to turn it off! Elijah: (standing up) Nuh-uh! Blair: (walking closer to the front of the room, imitating Elijah crying) “He was born ten minutes ago and now his mom’s dead?!” Elijah: (imitating Blair’s voice) “Yeah, that’s sad and all, but I think I could take on a T-rex with my bare hands.” No the fuck you could not! Do you have any idea how huge those bitches were? It'd eat you in one bite! Blair: Wow, you’re saying that just because I’m short I couldn’t do it. Low blow, Elijah. (The two, now inches apart the mirror’s divide, bicker about the logistics of fighting a dinosaur and how fighting a rooster technically counts because if you ever had a rooster chase after you, it’s scary af.) Me: Andddd, moving on!

[9] Where were you born?

Blair: On the outskirts of Crater City in some podunk. It should still be there, it's where my mom and my old neighbors lived. Things were so much more friendly back there, which is a huge difference from living in the city. Elijah: It’s crazy to be able to smile at someone on the street there and not get a death threat. Blair: Yeah… (he reminisces) Elijah: Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Blair: We should buy 400 acres of land and become farmers after this whole thing blows over. Elijah: (laughing) And raise a rooster army to protect our crops from mutants! (They bounce eagerly at the prospect of changing their names and living a peaceful life in the country.)

[10] What are your hobbies?

Blair: I practice tricks with my balisong, piece together little bots as pets, draw cartoons, and play video games. I also collect soda tabs, scrap metal, car keys, keychains, road signs… (Blair counts on his fingers) Elijah: Did he say road signs? What he meant was abandoned materials left for dead! Perfectly legal stuff here! (he laughs nervously.) Blair: I also collect our wanted pictures because I think we look sexy in them. Elijah: Blair!

[11] Do you have any pets?

Blair: I don't have a "pet" pet, but Elijah does! Or used to! I'm not sure what happened to him. He was a hamster named Clip, short for Noclip. Maybe that's why he's still missing. Elijah: Yeah, I'm not sure what happened either. But he usually turns up when Blair visits. Blair: It’s cause I’m the cool and estranged relative who brings gifts every time he comes over. Elijah: And by “gifts” he means chip crumbs on the couch.

[12] What sports do you play/have played?

Blair: I've played volleyball for a bit in high school until they banned me from the team for spiking the ball too hard. But if the opportunity presents itself, why not take it? Elijah: You gave four people concussions in one season! (Elijah laughs at the absurdity) Blair: They made fun of me, saying I was so short I couldn't hit over the net! It's not my fault they underestimated my skills.

[13] How tall are you?

Blair: 5' 5." There, I said it. Now we can move on! Elijah: Your Honor, he’s lying under oath, he's actually 5'3.5”! Blair: I can detest! Elijah: You mean “attest”? Blair: Hand me a fucking ruler right now! (Blair is provided a retractable ruler to measure his height) Elijah: Blair, turn it the other way. Blair: No, see? I am 5'5," and there's nothing you can do about it! Nothing! Unless you want to come over here and measure me yourself. (Elijah covers his face in his hands.) Blair: It's kinda suspicious he's so determined I'm shorter than I say I am. What, is he measuring my height in my sleep? I dunno, man, that's kinda weird.

[14] Favorite subject in school?

Blair: Robotics club counts, I'm pretty sure. Me and Elijah signed up for it and that's how we became best friends. It was the only class the teacher didn’t yell at me for slacking off or falling asleep in. Elijah: Because it was the only class you actually liked. Blair: Yeah, and the teacher even helped me get a scholarship because she said I was a great asset to mankind or whatever. But I think she was just being dramatic. Elijah: You managed to make a living driving people around in hijacked auto cars, I think it’s safe to say you’re not a complete idiot. Blair: Only a little. Elijah: Yeah, we’re pretty stupid. But not that stupid.

[15] Dream job?

Blair: I think I'd like to still build bots but definitely at my own pace instead of at a factory or business. It's too stuffy in places like that and it gets too repetitive after a while. Elijah: (confused) Blair, your passengers offer you to do contract work all the time. Blair: Elijah, Elijah. I don't think you understand... (There is a long pause.) Elijah: Are you gonna finish that thought? Or did you forget it halfway? Blair: No, I just didn't care enough to finish what I was gonna say. Hey, you wanna get some curly fries after this? All this pouring my life out shit is making me hungry. I almost forgot why I was even here. (Blair stretches) Oh my God, actually, you guys should interrogate Elijah next! I wanna see how long it takes for him to crack under pressure. Elijah: Blair, those questions were hardly invasive. Blair: I think you should throw some hardballs at him. Like do you eat oatmeal with a spoon or fork? Do you salt your watermelon or eat it unseasoned? Do you wash your rice with soap? Elijah: Who the fuck washes their rice? (Blair wears a look of abject horror.)

Me: And that is all the time we have for this interview! Thank you for your participation, Blair and Elijah! Now, if you could make your way to the exit—

(Elijah hurries out of the studio, followed by Blair, who has burst from the interviewing room. Blair chases him down the hall to the exit, all the while shouting a step-by-step guide on how to prepare rice. You have a feeling his ancestors would be very proud of him, if not for the atrocities he has committed.)

Everyone prepare your clown makeup 🤭

With the finale right around the corner, what are your wildest predictions for the episode? Feel free to clown as much as you want. 

And if you could have one scene in the finale, anything you want with any of the characters, what would it be?

Thanks for the ask, Suz! ☺️

Alright, if we're gonna get crazy....

The big bad is obviously going to be named Patrick. 😂

No, but I do think Monica could end up getting taken out when all is said and done. I'm also kinda hoping Elijah doesn't come back.

A really hot "glad you're alive" Chenford makeout sesh would not disappoint, but I know better than to get my hopes up.

Honestly, the biggest thing I want, is just a real conversation for Tim and Lucy. They've not talked about anything substantial since they broke up. Like I tell my preschool class all the time, they need to use their words. I'd love it if it was lengthy, too. The fake confession scene in 3x09, from start to finish, clocks in over 5 minutes, so it can be done. But it might be more likely in the s7 premiere.

And I would like there to be some mention of Tim's therapy to Lucy. She needs to know, and I would hope there is desire from Tim to continue it, just not with Blair.

I'm not sure I clowned very much here. 😂🤡

Mostly just over keeping expectations low but still hoping for something good that can sort of tide us over during this hiatus.

Happy season finale day!

Get to know my OC II

I was tagged by @gummybugg here! I encourage everyone to check out what Blair and Elijah said about themselves!

Tagging! @heavensfallenfaction, @chuuyas-beloved, @aether-wasteland-s, @silverslipstream and @fire-but-ashes-too too! i thought it was funny ok

Check out past contestants! Guan Zhuyu from MoS

For this one, I choose the main from And May the Moon Shine Over Your Ways, my little guy, Tiv!

Behind the sea of golden crops, I saw an auburn bush. I chose a shortcut and after a moment, the rest of the elf was revealed. They were lying on the dry grass, reading a book. Even though they were pretty tall, they looked delicate. Without me asking, they softly said “how can I help you?”

“Ah. It’s pretty easy. You don’t have to go anywhere,” I added, as they were getting from lying to sitting. “I’d like to ask you a few questions, that’s all.”

“Oh? That sounds… fun?”

“It will be fun, I promise. Let us get started.”

1. Are you named after anyone?

That’s… not really a thing we do. Usually, we get names after some special events of talents. I have two! My first name ever was Tiveor’fiehuhue, it’s after an unusually warm winter day, when I was born. The second is Ipsenel, I got it as a child after helping a lot in something, I… I’m sorry, I don’t really remember what that was. My father should know, maybe try asking him?

2. When was the last time you cried?

*laughs* That was a bit cringey… My little sibling broke their tiny toy horse, the poor animal lost its head. When I saw it, them crying and the horse decapitated, my eyes got wet. It was such a cute toy, you know? 

3. Do you have kids?

awkward silence …No.

4. Do you use sarcasm?

While talking with my older sister, yes. She deserves some stings. quiet giggle

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

I’m a bit interested in cloth-making, so clothes.

6. What's your eye color?

Brown. Sei, I mean my sister, could probably tell you more. She paints a lot and is so good with colors! You wouldn’t believe how many different colors she can make.

7. Any special talents?

I’m decent at lacing. See? Not that bad. shows the lace at the end of his sleeve

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both. I… love all the stories, somehow.

9. Where were you born?

points at a close mansion Here!

10. What are your hobbies?

So nice of you to ask! Beside the laces, I make embroidery and knit! I practice Rhetoric, some tiny fun stuff. Usually things for my little sibling and their friends, spending time with tiny stars is inspiring beyond comparison. Of course, I read a lot of books too, of any genre like I said.  

11. Do you have any pets?

When I was younger, we had a cat. She was brown and fluffy, and I used to hug her all the time. I’m not sure if she liked it though… Now we don’t have any. I think we should, it’s good for the children.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

Sei knows a lot of sports and she tried… actually still tries to find something perfect for me. I can ride a horse, but that’s hardly a sport, just a basic transportation method… Oh, I know, ice skating! I enjoy that a bit! I guess the summer made me forget that.

13. How tall are you?

Uh… pretty tall? About as tall as my mother, we’re both just a dot taller than most.

14. Favorite subject in school?

Rhetoric. Talking to flowers and rocks was always fun for me!

15. Dream job?

Helping Sei. That’s probably what I will be doing, lucky me! Some villagers suggest that I should go to the capital and pursue Rhetorics but I… I’m happy with what I have. I want to leave that possibility for my younger sibling as well, we don’t have enough to send off two children. Ah, and above all, Sei won’t manage to be an acceptable ruler without me. laugh

“And that would be all!” I say, clothing my notebook. “By the way, what are you reading?”

“It’s a very convoluted romance. It made me cry so many times… The main character…” [the remaining 50 pages of Tiv’s blabbering was cut out by the redactor]

Ps, have I ever mentioned how much I love this tag?

DAMN YOU'RE FAST BRO. I WAS ABOUT TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS TOO BUT COULDN'T DECIDE WHICH ONE

Anyway

1, 26, 22 and one you would really like to answer

And here you go a young Elijah as a treat

LETS GO

who is/are your comfort character(s)? something from my super early simp phase is Jeremy Blaire (outlast), it's been years but he'll always have a special place in my heart but YES ITS TRAVIS HACKETT THE COMFORT CHARACTER also könig, there's so many. Travis is the one tho he makes me calm n comfy n horny like no one ever did.

22. what type of person are you? I'm ... what kind of question is this. Is this the type of question like when you're at interview and they just ask you "tell me something about yourself" and you just... "uhm... i studied high school?" I have no idea what to reply to this, honestly. I'm super sweet and kind, especially towards friends, other than that I'm rather cold and reserve I'd say. I go by, if you have nothing good/polite to say, better shut the fuck up. I also talk way too much even tho I think I'm silent but appareantly not. Animals > people. I'm the type of person to stop car and jump out to help someone who fell off their wheelchair while others just slowly drive by just staring like a retards. I love gore and horror probably too much. I'd do anything for people I like, but be fucking aware if you did something to be my enemy? Is that a good answer? I find it so fucking hard to talk about myself, no idea what to say omfg what did i even say i dont want to reread it

26. a scenario that you’ve replayed multiple times? overall just me being kidnapped or attacked in general by my babes and in the end, they don't kill me you know? Because yk I'M BUILT DIFFERENT they start to have feelings for me because yk I'M BUILT DIFFERENT i'm just a thirsty ho i know

forgot about the one extra i want to answer omfg but:

36. how many times have you changed your url? I chose this one because, I lost count. Does anyone know? Too many times

#you made me boil my brain with the 22nd i hate you *lovingly* #ask #ask games #ty for sending 🤗

[thisnightissparkling089]

Praying Blair is a vilain and not a love interest my god. @ Alexi please don't do me like that. You know I was thinking, we heard Monica talking to someone on the phone and we assume it's a man because big boss vibe but what if it's a woman and it's Blair. It would be more surprising if she was young too. We see her all season as psy for aaron, I assume Lucy soon and in the end she is reveal to be vilain. I need her to die or be in jail by the end of the season so I know she is not coming back next season. Or if she is a vilain I don't care because she will not matter but yeah. I'm going to be so annoyed if the season end and she start a relationship with Aaron. I have 1 fear now.

Man, the asks are coming in rapid fire tonight😅

I'm honestly not sure where they're going to go with Blair. I truly need to see more. She seemed a little over the top in her first introduction, but more mellow and professional in her second appearance.

I don't know that I could ever date my therapist, even long after we ended our therapy relationship. It would feel like crossing a boundry IMO. So, in that regard, I kind of hope they don't go that route. But I can't say that I would necessarily want to see her dead or in jail by the end of the season. Unless of course she deserves to be in jail.

I do feel like she's on Monica's/Elijah's payroll and trying to gain insight into the LAPD/Aaron's life, but, I think there's many ways this could go, and I could be reading too much into it. But, I definitely think there's a chance she's been planted somehow.

All this to say, I don't really know what will happen. Guess we'll just have to wait and see! 👀

top 5 found families in media

rags first of all soz for taking 70 years to reply to this i literally forgot and this is hard to narrow down, also secondly this is a leading question i know you’re asking mainly about THE ORIGINALS so welcome to my ted talk it’s under the cut. for those of you who don’t want my dissertation; 

1) the originals klaus + marcel & marcel + davina

2) black sails jack + anne 

3) gossip girl blair + serena + nate + chuck 

4) elementary sherlock + joan

5) new girl nick + winston + schmidt 

honorable mention, bc who amongst us would not love to occasionally full murder our families, interview with the vampire louis + lestat 

1) the originals klaus + marcel & marcel + davina 

okay everyone shut the fuck up for a second let me get into this, the klaus and marcel dynamic really does hit me in the face every time bc klaus is basically marcel’s only family: he finds him, he saves him as a child, he names him, he raises him, he turns him, he fucking loves this kid. marcel is literally one of v few people klaus actually gives a fuck about and the parental dynamic does murder me bc it’s klaus wanting to raise him and wanting to be a good father and be the opposite of his own father BUT when it came down to it and the opera house burns down in the 1920s or whatever, klaus leaves. he runs, he never looks back because he assumed his son was dead and he never fucking went back to check. BUT their dynamic when he comes back to new orleans and sees that marcel is not only alive but thriving and ruling the city that klaus  built and left burning is so!!!! there’s literally so much shit between them but at the end of the day (or at least until elijah throws marcel off a bridge) they're still family to each other.  they go back and forth from being allies to enemies like every 10 episodes but marcel backs klaus, marcel protects the mikaelsons, marcel saves baby hope from the witches and even if he wants to kill klaus it’s DIFFERENT bc he loves him he has the fucking right to do it after everything klaus has done to him, other people (the witches, the strix, that asshole lucien) don't. they reconcile at the end of the series but the one thing that like properly actually fully broke them apart was davina’s death. which brings us to.......

marcel and davina. theirs is a slightly less complicated dynamic (yes there's manipulation and lying but this is cw show grow up) and i’m obsessed with them. marcel saves davina from being sacrificed and takes on being her father figure bc when they meet she absolutely is a child, and they connect because they’re similar and marcel sees a lot of his younger self in her. after all the witch shit is settled and she’s a lot more independent you still see that they take care of each other because who the fuck else will? they both have enemies on either side of the vampire/witch communities so even if they’re not on the same side they still have each other’s backs. marcel looks out for her no matter what, and davina’s one exception to being asked to help kill klaus is to break the sire bond so that if klaus dies marcel doesn’t die with him. and after ALL of the shit that happened between marcel and klaus, it’s davina dying as direct result of mikaelson bullshit that finally finally breaks marcel. he takes the supervampire serum, and goes absolutely apeshit to avenge her because that’s his daughter they killed. 

2) black sails jack + anne 

i don’t need to explain this everyone knows i’m right. yes? yes. i’m right. 

3) gossip girl - the original gang so blair + serena + chuck + nate 

hey siri, play frank ocean - super rich kids. god!!!! baby’s first found family i think? i love these dumb motherfuckers!!! objectively horrifying behaviour from all parties but they love each other!! non judging breakfast club!!! they're a bunch of stupid fucking kids with no one but themselves!! they raised each other they aren’t really friends with anyone else bc who the fuck else has the SHARED EXPERIENCES that they do when gossip girl starts!! where does one begin,,, all of them having serena’s back in season 1 after georgina drugs her, serena fake dating nate to cover for him as he absolutely be fucking a married woman, chuck secretly loaning money to nate’s family so nate doesn't find out he’s broke, blair and serena’s entire friendship, them collectively coming together whenever something they think is actually serious (the georgina thing, serena going missing, serena’s car accident, bart dying, blair and chuck’s car accident, that scene where the three of them are trying to get serena out of jail!!!) happens ugh i do love them i do. 

4) elementary joan + sherlock

#brownbicon #rags i enjoyed this immensely thank you #replies

[vldelijah-blog]

well hello ! my name is blaire (19, she / her, est), and though my app and this intro are very late i’m ecstatic to be here ! i’ve had muse for this baby for a while but was taking forever to make him so here he is ... 4am’s mr. elijah kang ! he’s definitely a lot to handle, but he’s here to bring the party to veil and i’m so excited to see all the craziness he gets in ! i’m super excited to plot with you guys, so please like this if you want to plot something, and check here for his bio, private profile, and public profile ! plots coming soon, i swear, but you can find some general ideas under the cut alongside trivia ! let’s go !

BACKGROUND.

born in la, california !! will always be a cali baby at heart, both his parents are originally from korea but moved there because they wanted to start a family in america !

he has two younger siblings - bora, who’s 12, and jandi, who’s 25 ! such an older brother, he teases / loves them to death and will fly to cali just to fight whoever hurts them !

original name is eunkwang elijah kang, but around middle school he changed it because a.) people always asked him about it or couldn’t pronounce it and b.) he didn’t think it fit him

the only people who still call him that are his parents when they’re speaking korean and his grandparents / aunts in korea. he introduces himself as elijah or eli nowadays, though !

but he prefers eli somewhat because elijah makes him feel like he’s getting in trouble ?? lmao !

his mom tried to get him into child acting because acting was always something she wanted to do, but it didn’t go very far for him

his father hated the idea of him going into the entertainment industry because he didn’t feel like it was a stable career, and thought that as the oldest of the family he should be financially well off

consequently, him and his dad’s relationship has become a little difficult now, he loves him a lot but is frustrated his dad doesn’t seem to be happy for him pursuing his dreams

even so, he started getting into singing because his mom had him join the church choir she lead ! he pretended he hated it but he loved getting all the old people to smile on that little stage

but he really got into performing when he tried to impress a girl with a talent show & won second place by doing a really cringy song & dance performance with friends !

feel free to read more in his bio, but long story short he auditioned as a joke and had the surprise of the century when he made it past auditions AND callbacks !

the idea of being in the “kpop” industy still seems so weird to gim, esp bc it’s never something he saw himself doing ?? he’s a r&b type of guy so it was really weird for him to think about at first

they decided to go with this “flirty bad boy image” for him which isn’t too out of character tbh ?? but they also thought he had the look of a rapper so started training him to be one ! so now it’s one of his positions, and though he finds it really fun he’s embarrassed to call himself one because he doesn’t feel like he has the skills to rap. 

he has a v unique voice, similar to wonpil’s, but since he had no proper training prior to joining the company they had to work with him a lot bc he didn’t really know how to use it !

was a little apprehensive at the whole “boy band” thing at first, until he realized just how much he loved it ?? and then became very invested and has been working hard ever since !he has high hopes for the group and thinks that, as long as they work hard, they can gain a stable following

also was like thank god bc he can’t dance for shit so that helped him otu a l o t !!

PERSONALITY.

like i said before, his personality’s not too different from his brand the company is trying to market him as once they debut ! so “flirty bad boy” pretty much sums it up lmao. he’s got the whole rebellious streak going on, but i wouldn’t call him bad for real because he’s still got a good heart, he’s just dumb and gets into equally dumb scenarios. i think that this pretty much sums it up:

haha !! anyways he is definitely a flirt, even when he doesn’t mean to be ! but he usually does, and isn’t afraid at all at expressing his attraction to others ! ( on that note - he’s pansexual fyi ! ) but his downfall is that he’s terrible with commitment, he’s just not in the mood to settle down and doesn’t know how but i’m sure he’s got a long list of romantic connections ! 

he’s got a bit of a potty mouth, he doesn’t really have a filter ( unless he’s somewhere for work ofc ) but even then he’s had a few embarrassing slip-ups. def got a few wrist slaps for it bc apparently he can’t shut up !! but please lmk if you don’t want him to curse in our threads bc even though it won’t be that bad in threads, i don’t want anyone to feel uncomfy !

very spontaneous, definitely the type to call you up at 3am on a sunday asking to go out some random place with him, he just loves adventure ! some find it endearing while others find it chaotic, he’s really a hit or miss in terms of this !

a charmer, he knows how to say things that people here....especially when trying to get himself out of a sticky situation ! if he had a superpower it’d be sweet talking people, he’s got a way with words and that’s ultimately how he’s become as successful as he has ! once 4am debuts he’ll definitely give fans lots of fanservice and is the type to “marry” them at fansigns and such.

on that note he’s very deceptive and isn’t pathological liar, but can do it v casually if he thinks it’ll make his situation any better ?? not a good thing but yk just how it is !

bc of these he’s quite the life of the party, and actually gravitates toward quieter people because he wants them to have fun & he’s def the first to try to break the awkward tension !

super carefree - the world could be crumbling, and this man will make a joke about it ! it can be good in stressful situations due to his ability to keep a leveled head, but at the same time it causes him to make poor decisions because he’s less concerned about the end results.

a downside is that he can have a bit of a temper, and if he feels like someone’s competing with him or trying to prove him wrong he gets pretty defensive. also if someone breaks his trust this man holds the biggest grudge i stg

tw: alcohol ! he loves to drink, it’s a habit he started back in america but moved over here ! he can’t do it quite as often bc of company rules he has to maneuver, but if you ask him to go out for some drinks, he’ll never say no.

just...silly lmao !! will literally come into his member’s rooms in the middle of the night just to do a stupid dance then walk out & leave.

very loyal & protective over those he loves !! he’s an older brother, so that’s rooted deep in him and he cares deeply about those he gets close too !

not a leader in any way ( thank god atlas saw that ), but he has his own way of checking up on people ! he’s not the talk-about-your-feelings type per se, but if he sees someone’s down he’ll go out his way to make them laugh or do something to make them feel better

also totally irrelevant but definitely has a retro eboy aesthetic going on here ?? his style very much so resembles jaewon his fc, but with a tinge more grunge ?? his ig is so eboy guys i just...he’s a mess

CONNECTIONS.

besties pls ?? 

exes ?? i feel like his exes would’ve ended pretty messily bc he’s the Worst but hey maybe they still vibe !!

drinking buddies ftw !! shall they drink & be merry together !! bonus if ur muse is a stupid drunk two and these two just are losing it 

he misses his siblings a ton so some younger muses, esp girls, for him to interact would be great ? would 100% baby them & treat them like one of his sisters !!

someone equally wild as elijah who he can always count on for a good party or getting into some sot of trouble.

fwb, a no-strings-attached situation except maybe later on ?? depends let’s see he just wants to have fun !

someone very different to him, they’re away of his personality but in contrast are very structured ! it would be super fun to interact with someone like that, see if they butt heads ?

in contrast,  a father-son/mother-son type of friendship where they look out for him to make sure he doesn’t take it too far and he makes sure they take care of themselves and have fun !

give me some rivalry ot enemies pls i love the drama

i promise i’ll add more soon and do a proper plots page but i’m literally so tired i can’t function

#vldintro #( & ooc. ) #def rbing this in the morning since it's such a weird time ! #i'll message everyone tomm morning !

My Year in Movies: Favorite Non-2018 Feature Films (Part 1)

I watched a LOT of movies this year. At last count, I had logged 229 features and 126 shorts; and that doesn’t count rewatches--only movies that were new to me.

I set a few challenges for myself as well this year. The first one was to watch at least one non-English language/US release per week--this exposed me to so much world cinema and some really amazing filmmakers. Anyone who avoids foreign films because “I don’t like subtitles” is really missing out, and I found myself craving these narratives from voices I don’t ordinarily get exposed to in my everyday life. 

Other personal challenges: Watching as many horror movies as possible in October (with horror defined pretty loosely so I could include entries from silent era and onward, as well as some comedy cult classics that have horror/thriller elements); participating in Noirvember (in addition to attending Noir City in Chicago); crossing off some major blindspots from my list (such as Bicycle Thieves, The Producers, Lethal Weapon, A Few Good Men, Grease, Home Alone 2, Brazil, and Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom); and trying to watch movies and short films from every decade that motion pictures have existed.

In 2019, I hope to do similar personal challenges with a focus on movies made by women, LGBTQ+, and people of color, in addition to filling in the gaps of my classical/canonical movie knowledge. 

OK, so that’s enough preamble. Let’s get to the list! For this list, I’m excluding movies that were released in 2018--that’s coming but this is for movies released before that. 

50. Linda Linda Linda (2005, directed by Nobuhiro Yamashita, country of origin: Japan)

High school girls recruit the Korean exchange student (Doona Bae, of Cloud Atlas and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) to join their rock band a few days before the school talent show. This is just a feel good film, recommended if you enjoyed the likes of Sing Street, We Are The Best!, and The Runaways. Unfortunately, it’s out of print in physical form; but last I checked someone had uploaded it to YouTube so you might want to get on that before it’s removed. You can watch the trailer here.

49. The Blue Dahlia (1946, directed by George Marshall, country of origin: US)

This film noir stars Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd, and like any good noir, it deals with dark subjects including murder, blackmail, political corruption, and PTSD. It’s been on my watchlist for a long time, and thanks to Noir City Chicago, I got to see it on the big screen at the Music Box Theatre. For small screen viewing, you can catch up with it via rental on Vudu, Amazon, iTunes... the usual suspects. 

48. Siren of the Tropics (1927, directed by Mario Nalpas and Henri Etievant, country of origin: France)

My dearly departed Filmstruck had a spotlight on the films of Josephine Baker, and this was among them. I fell in love instantly with the lively, beautiful Baker, here playing a woman named Papitou who deals with some super scummy dudes but manages to be herself in the face of all that nonsense. Silent films can sometimes be tougher to engage with for modern audiences, but this one flies by and contains some unexpectedly racy sequences for the time. Its racial politics don’t meet today’s cultural standards, but considering Baker’s parents were former slaves and their daughter went on to become the first woman of color to star in a major motion picture, this is still a landmark film worthy of our consideration. She broke down many barriers and contributed a great deal to both the entertainment world and the Civil Rights movement, and this serves as a nice entry point into her career. It’s available on DVD through Kino Lorber, and hopefully one day soon it’ll pop up on another streaming service that carries on the Filmstruck legacy.

47. I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore (2017, directed by Macon Blair, country of origin: US)

Here’s a film that goes to some unexpected places. I had no idea what to expect from Macon Blair, who frequently appears in the movies of Jeremy Saulnier; but in his debut feature for Netflix, he pulled out all the stops. Hilarious, violent, and intense, with memorable performances from stars Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood, this is a movie about getting in over your head and just going for it anyway. I don’t want to tell you about the plot because it’s best discovered through watching--just go to your nearest device and add it to your Netflix queue. 

46. Song of the Sea (2014, directed by Tomm Moore, country of origin: Ireland)

Absolutely gorgeous animation from the team that previously brought us The Secret of Kells, and a touching story that combines family and mythology. I adored this one. Watch it on Netflix or rent on the usual streaming sources--for a preview, click here. 

45. Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942, directed by Michael Curtiz, country of origin: US)

I always watch Independence Day on the Fourth of July; but in 2018, I decided to mix it up and cross this patriotic musical off the watchlist. I’d seen James Cagney’s gangster movies like White Heat and The Public Enemy, but seeing him sing and dance was a whole new joyous discovery. This movie is entertaining, funny, touching, and full of iconic sequences that other films would go on to borrow from. I absolutely loved it. Pretty sure I saw this on Filmstruck originally, but since that’s no longer possible you should be able to find it at your local public library or you can rent it for a couple bucks on Amazon, YouTube, iTunes, and the like. 

44. The Man Who Cheated Himself (1950, directed by Felix Feist, country of origin: US)

This tightly wound noir thriller pits brother against brother against the backdrop of 1950s San Francisco. Lee Cobb plays an aging bachelor and an accomplished police detective who falls for the wrong dame. His younger brother, played by John Dall (Gun Crazy, Rope), has just joined the police force and idolizes his older brother. Trouble strikes when the dame murders her no good husband and needs help from Cobb to cover it up. Naturally, Dall gets assigned to the case and as he begins to piece together the clues, he doesn’t like where they’re leading him. The climactic sequence is one of my favorite endings to a noir film, and I’ve seen a lot of them. Watch it for free if you have Amazon Prime; otherwise, there are a few versions uploaded to YouTube of varying quality or you could wait for it to pop up on TCM. 

43. Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003, directed by Thom Andersen, country of origin: US)

This documentary edits together clips from movies of every era that were filmed or set in Los Angeles, and explains through voiceover narration the significance of each location and the history of the motion pictures in LA. That’s it--very simple concept but also fascinating. I split this up over a couple nights because it’s pretty long, but if you’re a film fan or a Los Angeles native, this is well worth your time. The voiceover is kind of hilariously flat in its delivery--kind of a Steven Wright sound actually--but that sort of adds to the charm for me. Get a taste by watching the trailer, and then you can rent it on YouTube for $1.99.

42. A Simple Plan (1998, directed by Sam Raimi, country of origin: US)

It’s been almost two years since we lost Bill Paxton; I don’t know about you but I don’t think any other actor can really fill those shoes. This year I caught up with three films that showcased his talent: A Simple Plan, One False Move, and Frailty. He plays very different characters in each one but in many ways they all start off with a similar premise: Ordinary guy dreams of becoming more. What that “more” is for each character is what sets each film and performance apart, but Paxton provided a great canvas to paint these unique characters onto. He inhabited the ordinary man better than just about anyone. 

In this film, which I watched during Noirvember, Paxton plays Hank, a college-educated guy working a blue collar job in a small town, trying to make a better life for himself and his family. He’d like to get away from those small town roots, but his socially awkward brother Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton) relies on him. Unfortunately, Jacob is often accompanied by the hard-drinking loose canon Lou (Brent Briscoe). When the unlikely trio discover a crashed plane in the woods containing a suitcase full of cash, they each have ideas for how to handle the situation. Of course things escalate from there, and the way the movie explores human nature and family ties set this story apart. Available for online rental on the usual platforms.

41. The Iron Giant (1999, directed by Brad Bird, country of origin: US)

Given my obsession with Vin Diesel in the early 2000s, it’s pretty shocking I never saw this movie til now--sure, he and his glorious muscles don’t appear on screen, but he does provide the voice of the title character after all. When the Iron Giant made a controversial cameo in this year’s film adaptation of Ready Player One, I decided it was time I saw the source material for myself. 

This gorgeously animated fable unfolds during the Cold War era, and features an ET-inspired story arc of a young boy befriending an unlikely being that the government is looking for. If you’ve never seen it, this is definitely a must-watch. Currently available on Netflix, but rentable on other platforms too.

40. The Unsuspected (1947, directed by Michael Curtiz, country of origin: US)

I adore Claude Rains, star of this film and supporting actor in Curtiz’s more famous work, Casablanca. Here, he plays the host and narrator of a popular radio show that revolves around tales of murder--basically the Law and Order: SVU of its day. We learn early on that he sometimes draws inspiration for his broadcasts from real life criminals. When people in his own life start dropping dead, the plot thickens and he finds himself at the center of the action. A very suspenseful and well-plotted film noir, which is available from the Warner Archive collection on DVD. I got to see it at Noir City Chicago, and loved every second of it. 

That’s all for this entry--stay tuned for part two of this list, posting soon!

Tagged by the lovely @leaiorganas, thank you very much!

Fanfic questionnaire!

1. What was the first fandom you ever wrote fic for? BBC’s Sherlock 2. What was your very first ship? Sprotte and Fred from “Die Wilden Hühner” probably? Han/Leia was a big thing, too.

3. What fandoms have you written for, and what are your ships? BBC’s Sherlock (I didn’t focus on it, but Molly Hooper/Greg Lestrade), Doctor Who (River Song/Eleven), NCIS (Ziva David/Tony Dinozzo), The Mentalist (Teresa Lisbon/Patrick Jane), The Vampire Diaries (Katerina Petrova/Elijah Mikaelson and Caroline Forbes/Niklaus Mikaelson), Now You See Me (Henley Reeves/Daniel Atlas oh my God I wrote for that A LOT), Gossip Girl (Blair Waldorf/Chuck Bass), A Song of Ice and Fire (Sansa Stark/Petyr Baelish I know), Marvel [Captain America] (I wrote some stuff featuring Steve and Bucky, I don’t really ship it myself but I’m not saying you can’t read my fic that way either) and Star Wars (Leia Organa/Han Solo), most recently The Americans (Nina Sergeyevna Krilova/Oleg Igorevich Burov) but still very much first and foremost Rogue One (Jyn Erso/Cassian Andor)

4. What ships do you tend to gravitate to?

two troubled people who are equally lonely - usually one by virtue of actually being alone and one who feels very far removed from the people around them - who might lash out at other people but who would never intentionally hurt the other, whether they’re dating or fighting or broken up. Fiercely loyal to one another; tend to be bad at voicing their emotions but show them instead. (Often one by ridiculously grand gestures and the other in the tiny, tiny things.) Also, apparently, height difference is extremely important. [see Leia/Han, Nina/Oleg, Gaby/Illya (The Man From Uncle), Veronica/Logan (Veronica Mars) and Jyn/Cassian]

5. Current OTP(s)? Top Four: 1. Jyn/Cassian (always, always, always) 2. Nina/Oleg 3. Veronica/Logan (they’re on my mind more, but Nina/Oleg is still instant heartbreak) 4. Gaby/Illya (aka the one that doesn’t make me cry, so yay for that)

6. Former OTP(s)? Eleven/River, Tony/Ziva, Klaus/Caroline, Danny/Henley, Chuck/Blair, Sansa/Petyr (aka the ones with the silly shipnames... Tiva, Klaroline, Danley, Chair - honestly, pick the most ridiculous I dare ‘ya)

7. What do you think have been some of your best fic ideas? Even though it’s turning into a huge flaming mess of a plot, I still think The World Through a Scope was a pretty neat starting point - I mean, Rebelcaptain sharing a psychiatrist, you know? Also pretty happy with how I managed to spin my chapter for the Food Travel AU and I am so stupidly happy with my High School AU (which is not a thing I ever expected to be able to say). Also I am highkey in love with the idea of Firefly crossovers and I really want to write more. Aaaand I am so damn pleased with my ridiculous Winter Olympics AU it’s not even funny.

8. Your worst? Some plot lines in The World Through a Scope were Bad Ideas in retrospect, but alas. Also a lot of my earlier ideas weren’t... horrible in itself, but the execution oh my God

9. What kind of fic do you most love to write? Angst angst angst *lol* no but seriously I think my favourites are the really quiet ones, set in the dark at night or in the car, cuddling and angsty conversations and sleepy sweet fluff. I love those (probably because I usually write at night when I’m getting sleepy myself *lol*)

10. What do you dread writing? SMUT more than anything, tbh. And extensive action scenes, I’m bad at adrenaline-inducing excitement

12. What is a fic you would love to write one day? I really do want to write that GDR spy AU in full one day. One fine day *sigh*

13. What’s a fic you wish someone else would write? I’m a sucker for that historical AU stuff so I’d be really cool to see everyone write a Rebelcaptain fic based on some of their home country’s history. I’d loooooove that. Or another Firefly crossover. That too.

[jennievansas]

★ ━ ( violett beane, cis female, she/her ) ━ ★ the other day i ran into JENNIFER RYLAND EVANS. it’s funny because i was just thinking about how the TWENTY-SIX YEAR OLD’s birthday was on JUNE 13TH and how the last time i saw her, JENNY was ETHEREAL, ASSERTIVE & WITTY, but could also beMANIPULATIVE, RECKLESS, & BLUNT anyway, she has been living inRICHMOND for SIX MONTHS & currently works as a WAITRESS. 

hello my little loves, here’s ya gxrl S with another character, Jennifer Evans, but like don’t call her anything but Jenni,  Elijah and Matthews lil sis! I literally have NOTHING set up for her yet because surprise surprise I’m a lazy ass hoe. Here’s some stuff about her so we can make connections and plot or whateva and like, later I’ll send you a full bio link thnksbye

was living with her fathers family when her mom came along when she was 16 and was like “SURPRISE HERE’S YOUR TWO BROTHERS” and jenni was like wtf? no thanks? hard pass?

she was uh, spoiled by that fam and so she’s like, a brat? and up until this point is used to getting whatever she wants without question and if she doesn’t ,she’s very good at manipulating a situation so she does. 

literally the worst ™ like mona lisa saperstein and kate peralta, but like has some blair waldorf like will step on people to get what she wants/needs?

loves to party like, so much that she got arrested for public intoxication and thats why her big bro showed up, her dads family eventually gave up on her and her bros are...all she has?

literally is still on the hot mess express, works as a waitress at a late night diner but like she really does have dreams shes just not motivated to do anything substantial

literally y’all look how cute she is? she knows. she uses that to her advantage. the worst. im telling you.

having an affair with a married man which is...ok jenni.

just....not good? Idk how else to tell y’all this she will set a car on fire if she’s left a lone for too long,

#portbayintro #portbayooc #come plot kbye

[tvdpersonification]

you know how much I was a fan of personification and I would have liked to know how you saw the end of life afer life. I am sad that you give up this universe I would have liked to read personified to see even legacies which I am not yet because I love your writing which made me discover other series like teen wolf or even shadow hunters

I'm so very sorry this took me SO LONG to reply to! I haven't really been on very much. It was going to be discovered in Life After Life that one of Blair's past lives was made to forget about the existence of Werewolves so that filtered through to her future incarnations. That's why she didn't know anything about Werewolves and nothing clicked for her regarding that.

I honestly don't remember the very ending of where Life After Life was going, but I do remember that I did want Blair and Stefan to marry and it would then be revealed that he was the one who bought Wonderland and was the one who had it restored (the wedding would have taken place in the center of the garden maze)

After Stefan's death I think Blair would have gone to New Orleans as an attempt to get away and be around those she knew would never die - and when Klaus and Elijah do...Blair pretty much disappears until she's pulled back to Mystic Falls by what's going on in Legacies. (No idea if the timelines of that stuff lines up. Honestly I've never seen the last season of TVD or the Originals and have just seen stuff about it on tumblr)

I haven't given up on this world completely. I'm working on a final 'incarnation' of my Personification stories called Alden Falls. In Alden Falls, both Emery and Blair are Cursed Ones but because of a spell, they don't know it. I haven't gotten too far with Alden Falls because I want it to be right since it will be my last attempt at a Personification rewrite and likely won't post it until it's completely done.

task three.     ┇      - ̗̀ fears. ̖́-

↘   setting: delta psi beta house. ↘   date: october 31st, 2018. ↘   synopsis: someone slips something into naomi’s drink and things get                         crazy from there

naomi doesn’t remember how the drink got into her hand. one minute she’s dancing in the living room and the next she finds herself stumbling down the upstairs hallway. there aren’t any people here— which is odd since the house was overflowing with partygoers. in any other normal situation, one could catch a couple making out against the bathroom door or a few drunken idiots trashing rooms but this wasn’t normal. everything was quiet and... still? however naomi was feeling too sick to notice.

‘ oh god i think i’m gonna throw up. ’ she says to herself, hand coming out and touching the wall to help steady herself. the room felt like it was spinning and the pounding in her head made it even harder for her to walk properly. ‘ i’m never drinking again. ’ 

her hand comes in contact with the door handle of one of the rooms and she opens it, stumbling inside. it’s dark, really dark. this possibly can’t be the bathroom. she turns to exit and suddenly—— 

                                                          SLAM

the door closes and she jumps back at the sudden noise. ‘ hello? god this isn’t funny. ’ she goes to open the door only to find the the knob is missing. ‘ what the he— hey let me out! ’ she bangs on the door loudly, hoping someone was passing by to hear her.  ‘ hello?! ’ again she calls out but no answer. she hears the party downstairs and she remembers how deserted the hallway was. no one was there. but the doorknob.... the door shutting.... it doesn’t make any sense. naomi tries to wrap her head around the situation but it’s getting too much for her. god how much did she drink? she doesn’t remember feeling this sick. 

the dizziness returns and naomi can’t keep herself standing up straight, so she stumbles and falls onto the bed. her eyes begin to flutter shut and before she knows it she’s ASLEEP.

and just like that she’s AWAKE again. however she’s not at the frat house. how does she know this? because she recognizes the room she’s in. marblemount. the motel. she’s here again. but why? naomi looks down to find herself dressed in a t-shirt that’s WAY too big for her frame. what the hell?

                                              “LOOK WHO’S FINALLY UP.”

her head snaps up to the sound of the voice and just as her eyes meet theirs— she feels her heart drop. 

                          NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CAN’T BE REAL!

it’s him. micheal.... mayer.... the backseat killer... the father to her kids. he’s leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom door, a smirk on his face. that smirk. the same one he had given naomi the day they met. the same one he had given her the she almost died. 

‘ get away from me. ’ she scrambles to get out of bed, only to realize that she’s half naked. ‘get away from you? ’ he begins to walk towards her, ‘ now why would you want that? ’ at this point naomi can feel the tears welling in her eyes as he’s getting closer and closer. ‘this isn’t real. you’re not real.’ naomi shuts her eyes and takes a few deep breaths, trying to make all of this go away. this wasn’t the first time the girl has had a dream like this. months after silverwood, she swore she saw him everywhere. around the apartment, on campus, even at her father’s house. but this— this was different. they were in the shitty hotel room in marblemount; hours away from home.

‘i’m very real.’ her eyes snap open and......

                                                      HE’S GONE!

but pause— she can’t let out a sigh of relief yet because suddenly......

                                          ‘i’m always with you.’

he says from behind her and naomi freezes up. she can’t move. ‘ you can’t get rid of me. you want to know why?’ she can’t reply. ‘because of them.’ he points across the room and naomi sees ava and noah. don’t you dare she exclaims but the words don’t make it out of her mouth. ‘they look so much like me. especially noah. they’ve got my eyes.’ he’s taunting her, ‘i know you think about it all the time. how could you not? just look at them.’ naomi turns her head and shuts her eyes. go away, please go away. 

                                        ‘I SAID LOOK AT THEM!’

his hand roughly cups naomi’s jaw and turns her head to face the twins. fingers are harshly digging into her soft skin and it hurts. it hurts so much. naomi lets out a small whimper and a single tears rolls down her cheek. ‘oh i’m sorry baby, did i hurt you?’  the pet name baby makes her shiver and she wants to scream and cry and hurt him but she can’t. but what he does next.... it breaks naomi. he begins to place kisses along her neck and jaw— where his fingers had just been. 

‘ p-please stop.... ’ her voice is WEAK and one tear turned into two and two turned into three... then he’s gone. she blinks away the tears and frantically begins to look around the room. this... this isn’t possible. he was just here. naomi rushes to get the twins but... they’re gone too. ‘AVA? NOAH? .... naomi... naomi wake up.’ she begins to softly slap herself, hoping this was all just a bad dream. 

she closes her eyes and then opens them. this time she finds herself in the headquarters. it’s quiet but she can hear voices coming from the conference room. confused, she begins to head that way. maybe someone can answer what the hell was going on? she pushes the door open softly and sees that everyone is there. micah, lana, julian, ashley, isaiah, kimberly, vanessa, daniel, damaris, blair, bryce, damaris, cristian, elijah, trevor, verena — EVERYONE.

‘ what’s this? a meeting without me? ’ she half jokes, feeling uncomfortable under their stares. somethings off, like really off and naomi senses this but says nothing. 

                                     ‘YOU’RE OFF THE TEAM.’

she laughs, this has to be a joke. ‘ very funny guys— listen i’ve been having these re— ’ she’s cut off by daniel who is now standing and walking towards her. ‘ we’re serious, naomi. you do nothing but annoy us and you barely do your job as is. we didn’t want you on the team in the first place, we just felt bad so we let you in. ’ she can’t believe what she’s hearing, this HAS to be a cruel prank they’re pulling on her. ‘ daniel shut up that isn’t funny. ’ she frowns, her cheeks heating up in both anger and embarrassment. 

                     ‘YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED IN SILVERWOOD.’

that one sentence threw EVERYTHING off. how could he say something like that? without thinking, naomi’s palm connects with daniel’s cheek, angry tears running down her cheeks. ‘screw you. screw all of you. i don’t need this.’ but she did— she did need this... them. they had become naomi’s family and to see that they were willing to kick her out over something so trivial HURT her. to hear daniel ( someone she had strong feelings for ) saying he wish she was dead hurt her even more. is this what being HEARTBROKEN feels like?

she gives everyone a look, she’s not sure what it is but it’s enough to capture how hurt and upset she is before walking out of the room and towards the exit of the headquarters.

naomi wakes up again and this time... she’s in her bedroom. no, not the one in the apartment she shares with micah but the one in her childhood home. the one she hasn’t been in in years. ‘what the fuck is going on...’ she mutters. the room looks exactly the way it did when she was eight. her dollhouse in the corner, stuffed animals on the shelf, toy chest at the foot of her bed. 

naomi gets up, eyes darting all around the room trying to find something to explain what was going on. how could she wake up in silverwood, then at the headquarters, and now here? her childhood home, a place where all her worst memories were held. she walks out of the room and into the hallway. it’s quiet and she thinks she’s the only person there, until she’s in the kitchen. her father... brother... mother are all there, waiting for her. 

‘naomi, mija.’ her mother is the first to speak,  getting up from her position at the kitchen table and coming to embrace her in a very loving hug. naomi stands there, frozen as her mother’s arms wrap themselves around her. this feels real, too real. but she knows it isn’t. her mother dead, she’s been dead ever since naomi was a little girl. 

‘mom wha—lukas?’ this is was too overwhelming, naomi couldn’t take this. she pulled away from her mother, shaking her head. ‘go away, you’re not REAL! GO AWAY!’ she starts to yell, taking a few steps back as all three of them begin to walk closer ad closer to her. this feels like something off a horror movie... better yet this is the one thing naomi feared. to have her family, here with her. it was crazy, who is afraid of having family around? she was. she’s never known anything different. not once had her family ever bee united. so of course the girl was afraid of the unknown. my family is better off separated.

she wakes up again and this time, it’s in the frat house. she can hear the music playing downstairs and people out in the hallway. sitting up, her headache hits her hard and she lets out a loud groan. ‘oh my god....’ getting up, she stumbles for what seems like millionth time and heads for the door, hand resting on the handle before opening it. that didn’t happen before. peering into the hallway, she sees that there’s a ton of people out here, unlike before when it was, well,

                                                            just her.

Deep Impact (1998)

Date watched:  25 May 2019

The theme of the weekend was "similar disaster movies released in the same year", so on Saturday I watched both Deep Impact and Armageddon.  For comparison purposes.

I'm going to be controversial here and say that I really do think that Deep Impact is the better movie. Armageddon is flashy and unintentionally hilarious (SPACE DEMENTIA), but Deep Impact is what I would categorise as more of a disaster drama than a balls-to-the-wall disaster movie. Plus, it has an EXCELLENT cast.

Plot:

There's a comet heading for earth and shit is looking grim, yo. Tea Leoni is a reporter in Washington who uncovers the comet story and then becomes news anchor.  Morgan Freeman is the goddamn president of the United States (I would take Morgan Freeman as president LITERALLY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK).  Elijah Wood and Leelee Sobieski are super cute baby teenagers who are kind of in love, whose parents are best friends, and who discover the comet by accident during their space club.  Robert Duvall is the leader of a team of astronauts (including Blair Underwood, Ron Eldard, Jon Favreau and Mary McCormack) who are going to try to blow up the comet before it hits earth, but succeed only in blowing it in half and thus creating TWO COMETS.

Of course, the big build up is when the first of the two comments smashes into the Atlantic Ocean and decimates the United States eastern seaboard (it only occurred to me on this viewing that Elijah Wood and Leelee Sobieski were only SIX MILES FROM THE OCEAN – I would've left like SO FAR IN ADVANCE, why did everyone leave it to the last minute?!  They knew where it was going to hit!), and there's a massive wave that basically destroys everything in its path.  Honestly, that sequence is way better than any of the disaster sequences in Armageddon.

So in the end, a bunch of the lead characters have died heroic, noble deaths (Tea Leoni sacrifices her safety for Laura Innes and her daughter, giving up her seat on the helicopter – that always makes me cry, like, what a brave thing to do), but Elijah Wood and Leelee Sobieski are safe and amazingly the White House is still partially standing?  That thing must be reinforced with steel.

Here's my question.  This movie and Armageddon both feature spaceships being launched to intercept the comet/asteroid, landing on it with the crew and filling it with nuclear explosives.

Did each studio know that this was happening in both movies? Like… Deep Impact came out first, so do you think that Michael Bay was like, "Dude, what the fuck?!" when he saw the landing-on-the-comet part of the movie?

OKAY it seems I have given Michael Bay too much credit for being a decent person, because the article below suggests that Deep Impact was plagiarised by Bay in making Armageddon:

WELL.  Well, well, well.  Here I am thinking it was an innocent mistake and it turns out it was not quite so innocent.

Here's another great article comparing the two:

I think the general consensus is that Armageddon is more enjoyable because it's so ridiculous, but if there's one thing I like it's a space drama, and Deep Impact fits in that category nicely for me.
