caramelizing onions (Dev Patel, preference)
Five Days Until Monkey Man!!!!!
a/n: inspired by an ask from @binickandros from forever ago <3 backbone of the fanbase with their gifs 🫡thank you for your service.
Tumblr media
Anwar Kharral (Skins 2009) I've got a headcanon that Anwar is a big soup enjoyer, specifically French Onion Soup, so I think Anwar could do alright caramelizing onions. As an adult, I think he can hold his own in the kitchen, but that's because he knows that the payoff is going to be worth it.
Tumblr media
Sonny Kapoor (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, 2011) Sonny is blessed to be in the position where he can export the onion caramelizing to the hotel kitchens, where a professional can handle it. He has not been allowed in a kitchen since 2005, per his mother's orders. No, he will not tell you why.
Neal Sampat (Newsroom, 2011-2014) In my head, Neal comes from a family of restauranteurs. He's inherited the family skill, he's out of practice. His stove has been broken since he moved into this apartment. The odds are stacked against him, but still, he busts out a hot plate and gets to work, you're getting your onions.
Deon Wilson (Chappie, 2015) Deon has been eating hot pockets and adult portions of lunchables since he moved out of the house in 2015. He's barely familiar with vegetables, you're gonna have to teach him how to work the stove. Sorry girl, he's really cute tho.
Sheru "Saroo" Bierley (LION, 2016) Sue Brierly made sure both of her sons knew how to hold their own in a kitchen, and Saroo is not gonna forget that knowledge. If you've got a hankering for French onion soup, you better believe that he's gonna do everything he can to get ready for you.
Jay Menha (The Wedding Guest, 2018) Sanjay is tricky. The two of you travel so often for 'work', and it's kind of hard to not get takeout. However, once in a blue moon, Jay will make a nice meal for the two of you. He's romantic, he's sweet, and the two of you have a cozy night together. Yes, he did call his mother to make it happen. Yes, he's gonna do everything in his power to make sure you don't find that out.
David Copperfield (2019) I feel like David will need help the first few times he's in a kitchen. He's a man of means now, so he's able to pay his cook to give him lessons in the kitchen. This being said, I feel like David will want to cook for you, but tell you that the cook prepared it. You like it better when David cooks for you, even if you don't know it.
Joshua Madika (Modern Love, 2019) Joshua can and will buy you every single onion in the world. He doesn't mean to be so 'much', but you love him for it! This being said, he will give Carmelizing Onions one solid attempt, and depending how it goes, then he'll get you takeout from all your favorite spots in the city. It's a win-win to be honest.
Sir Gawain (The Green Knight, 2021) Oh, I'm sorry babe, he'd absolutely not be able to caramelize onions for you. I do, however, think, that he would be great at making smores. He is totally capable of putting a marshmallow on a stick and holding it over heat until it's golden brown. That is the extent of his food-gathering capabilities. God bless him for still being alive at age twenty-one.

tagged by @archonfurina in a cute new game
𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭…
01. a character you love.
Shadowheart… she’s my wife she’s my best friend she’s my mirror she’s my narrative foil I just love her. Her design is so delicious too. My husband actually got a necklace custom made for my birthday right after the game dropped that looks exactly like Shadowheart’s circlet
02. your favourite food from your culture.
Americans really changed the game with corn dogs and peanut butter. They’re like the only two foods that make me feel patriotic. Also if we’re talking about roots shepherds pie and cottage pie have a big tradition in my family and instantly make me feel at home
03. what your dream apartment / room / house is like.
We’re actually about to move cross country and trade our 3 bedroom house for an apartment so I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I really like a clean but moody aesthetic. Minimal knick-knacks but some silver framed art, colored glass vases. I’m hesitant to say dark academia but maybe just like a slightly less cluttered whimsigoth?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
04. your personal style or aesthetic.
Lots of cool tones and dark colors. I prefer looser more gender neutral cuts when I can but when I’m feeling more feminine I LOVE a patterned fishnet + band tee combo. I also wear a lot of hair accessories like hair sticks and claw clips (these sunnies have been on my wishlist forever, and those vans are my favorite shoes I currently have)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
05. a happy memory.
Seeing Hozier for his wasteland baby tour :) it was at the beautiful orpheum theater and the whole show was so dreamy
06. your favourite way(s) to spend time.
Playing D&D, writing, playing video games with my husband, horror movies, reading, going on road trips, sunbathing.
07. story behind your url / title / quote / description / icon.
As far as my url, my favorite pokemon is Grimmsnarl!! I love the dark/fairy dual typing. Also I love the use of imps as familiars.
08. something that comforts you or brings you joy.
My kitties 🩵 they are my little house goblins and I love them so much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
09. what you’re looking forward to.
MOVING!!!! Get me out of the south please 😭
10. something else that’s important to you.
I saw Dev Patel’s Monkey Man weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. I know I didn’t even catch all the complexities because I don’t know much about eastern cultures but it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen and the symbolism I did catch blew me away. Please watch Monkey Man. Please.

Hi drunk Makenzie! Hope you're having a blast
Question: who's an actor you loathe to an unreasonable extent? Or, if you prefer, who's an actor you love way more than you should?
For me, just the sight of Chalamet's face in a trailer makes me wanna fight him, and I loooove Dev Patel despite only seeing him in The Green Knight
i don't give enough shit about any actors to hate them for no reason (I hate some of them for sex crime reasons and the like) but I will speak to the second one and say that I am endlessly charmed by James Marsden in everything forever

Hellooooo ✨ Not sure if I already submitted an ad to this specific account but if I have, feel free to ignore it.
Anyway. To cut straight to the point, I´m a 26F looking for partners 21+ to write ATLA and LOK-inspired roleplays with! I´m down to writing canon characters (usually I play Suki, Ty Lee, Sokka or Korra, but honestly I have no preference and can adapt to people´s tastes) or against canon characters. However, I would especially love to meet folks who have a true passion for worldbuilding and further developing the lores and concepts presented throughout the franchise through the creation of OCs. Hell, I got a Dev Patel FC cooking up right now that I´m foaming at the mouth to use 👀
I´m also extremely flexible when it comes to writing styles, reply length and frequency because I´ll always believe real life comes first. As for what dynamics I´m looking for, gender doesn´t matter much to me and platonic, romantic, familial and antagonistic relationships can all spark the same level of inspiration…Angst or fluff, spice or chaste, rapidfire or novella-length: Main thing in it for me is to make plenty new friends and really exploit all the wonderful aspects the series offers to their maximum. Sound good to you? Interact with this post or dm me directly at @millenarianism. For now I´ve been mostly RPing on discord, but hit me up with a lil about yourself or an actual plot proposal and we can exchange handles! Thanks for reading and hope to hear from folks soon.
PS. Oh, and should go without saying but since the ATLA/LOK universe is POC-only and I myself am Black, I would prefer we stuck to that spirit by keeping any OCs we create as people of color. Other than that and the fact I prefer to avoid outright depictions of abuse, I´m pretty much open to anything!

[ dev patel, man, he/him ] — whoa! GIDEON CHOWDHURY just stole my cab! not cool, but maybe they needed it more. they have lived in the city for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS, working as a LIBRARIAN & WRITER. that can’t be easy, especially at only THIRTY-THREE. some people say they can be a little bit INSECURE and TIMID, but i know them to be INTELLIGENT and DEVOTED. whatever. i guess i’ll catch the next cab. hope they like the ride back to BROOKLYN! — (freddie, twenty-four, aest, they/them)
content warning - death of a parent, mental health issues.

PESONALITY -
positive traits: intelligent, devoted, considerate, imaginative, creative, clever, loving, selfless, aware, humorous, helpful, friendly, courteous, resourceful, entertaining negative traits: insecure, timid, weak, defeated, defensive, scared, submissive, anxious, avoidant likes: writing ( when inspiration hits ), the smell of books, warm weather with a cool breeze, kisses on cheeks and foreheads, books, music ( specifically orchestral music ), natural light, beautiful architecture, home cooked meals dislikes: film adaptations of books that are vastly different from the original source material ( "why didn't they just create their own story inspired by the book? with this many differences it's not like they'd get in trouble for plagiarising..." ), writers block, uncomfortable silences, spilled drinks, licorice hobbies: cooking, tending to his tiny indoor herb garden, writing ( if only inspiration could ever hit ), reading, watching films, listening to music, playing any instrument he can get his hands on, going for walks bad habits: not getting enough sleep, smoking, biting fingernails, procrastinating, stretching himself too thin, doubting himself
BACKGROUND —
gideon was born to starving artists; his mother was a musician, and his father was a writer.
his parents worked hard to provide a good life for their family, though at the same time, they never forgot to chase their dreams and put happiness above wealth.
they moved to new york when gideon was six years old, and there gideon found himself living a perfect life.
above everything else that kept gideon busy, he cherished his time playing music with his mother, and coming up with ideas for his father’s latest books.
unfortunately, gideon’s perfect life was cut short at the age of thirteen, when his father passed in a sudden and unprecedented accident.
to say that gideon was lost is an understatement; he experienced his first terrible bout of mental health issues, and the despair felt endless.
it didn’t last forever, no matter how bleak life felt at times; his mother was of particular help to him, as was reading through his father’s work - the ideas they had come up together, but that his father had never been able to realise into a completed novel.
life carried on, and gideon kept his father in his life by becoming fixated on his work. as a young adult, gideon began to dabble in completing his father’s work, and thus, gideon’s writing career began.
over the course of some years, gideon had three novels - a fiction trilogy - published ( sure to credit his father for his contribution ) and met with success, he felt as though he had never been happier.
like before, though, the happiness didn’t last. without his father’s books to complete, gideon found himself losing purpose - no matter how many great things he still had in his life - and his mental health issues returned.
he thought the solution was to keep on writing, but no matter how hard he tried, no inspiration hit enough for him to complete any other work.
gideon tried for a very long time - he still does try, in fact - but he lost his spark, and submitted to a job at the library instead, something he felt would make him feel closer to his father again.
WANTED CONNECTIONS —
best friend - this is a ride or die connection, they could have been friends as young as six, when gideon moved to new york, and they’re thick as thieves. they’ve been there for gideon through everything ( and there’s been a lot ) and vice versa ! any gender, similar age preferred.
childhood friends - they became friends as kids here in new york, and no matter how much they developed and changed and grown, they’ve stayed friends because of that. i think it’d be real funny if they were super opposite people, and if people had no idea why they’re even friends. any gender, similar age required.
regulars at the library - people who trust his opinions on what books they should check out, people who talk with him for far longer than they should while he’s working about books - or other stuff ! -, people who get their fees for overdue returns disappearing because they’re such nice people to gideon.
ex love interests - gideon was in a serious relationship for the past few years, but before that he also had a few other partners. he’s not the most experienced because he’s quite reserved with his love, but he’s a very good partner when his insecurities and mental health issues aren’t preventing him from being one. any gender !
book club - i’m not sure if this is an already established thing in this group yet or not, but gideon is definitely part of a book club. he wouldn’t have started it, but he would have joined it years ago and committed to it as anything literary related makes him feel closer to his father. he never misses a meet !
musician friends - while he might seem more literature focused due to his career, gideon is an extremely good musician, and i’d love for him to connect to others here in new york. he only typically plays for fun, jamming by himself or with these friends, but i could also see him jumping in on tracks or performances as a session musician when needed / when a friend asks !
gideon is also open to so much more, i'm happy to brainstorm or listen to any / all of your ideas !

St Patrick's Day Preference
Tumblr media
A/N: I do know I have readers from all across the world, so if you're not up on what Saint Patrick's Day is, do click here!
Anwar Kharral: I feel like Anwar's a little but over it. He's gotten into too many scrapes during St. Paddy's day when he and Maxxie move to London. He's older now, more tame, this doesn't mean he won't be wearing green! You won't catch him slipping!
Sonny Kapoor: I feel like he'll make a theme night at the hotel. The Irish guests are more than happy to listen to a power point about St. Patrick and absolutely house some baked potatoes, and are in bed by 9. I feel like Sonny is very popular with the Irish residents at the hotel, and he uses the holiday to pay the affection back.
Neal Sampat: Neal's not really a fan. In his defense, it's New York, and the two of you know it's different here. You guys do last minute grocery runs two days before and make it a point to hole up and not go anywhere on the day. God forbid you do, it's like doing a marathon, some kind of gauntlet. No ma'am, don't call, you guys are at the apartment.
Deon Wilson: He's baby! I feel like maybe the two of you go out early, like at 4-5, have a drink, and get overstimulated and go home (valid). Maybe you guys watch the 2001 Disney Channel Classic "Luck of the Irish" before going to bed.
Sheru “Saroo” Brierley: Saroo likes going out and drinking with his friends! You do too! The both of you aren't exactly marathon-holiday-enjoyers or bar-hoppers (at least not anymore), but if your friend group brings the energy, you guys are there! No green-colored drinks though.
Jay Menha: No ma'am. He's at home. He's in bed by 8. He's got his earplugs in. People celebrating the day are too loud and too touchy, he's not doing that. If he's called in to work a paramedic shift, he'll do it, but he'll be grumpy the whole time!
David Copperfield: In principle, David is a fan of the day. He loves seeing how happy people get to celebrate Ireland and being Irish! This being said, last time he actually went out, he started his evening *in* London, and somehow ended up in Birmingham deli where he came to 48 hours later. He's not gonna do that again.
Joshua Madika: Girl, I feel like he's a little too domestic for this holiday. When he was single and rebounding, maybe, but now his knees hurt, and he's literally got too much money to go out and party with the people! Chances are he's gonna book you both a spa day or something, and ignore it in general.
Sir Gawain: This may sound harsh, but I don't think he know Ireland is a real place. He'll drink, party, the two of you will have a great night out, but he's 100% certain Ireland is made up. He has been there multiple times.
Dr. Chatterjee: I feel like he's a bit cranky on the holiday. He's a doctor first and foremost, so he's really spent too many evenings in the ER pumping stomachs overfilled with green beer. He thinks the history behind it is neat, but he's overall not a big fan.

˗ˏˋ rohan kaur ⟶ introduction
rohan kaur picked up their key from the front desk nine months ago. the thirty-seven year old uses he/him pronouns and is a oceanographer from london, england. According to their apartment application, people have told them they look a lot like dev patel, and the character they identify with most is dick grayson from batman. santa moneda gives you a warm welcome, and we hope you enjoy your stay. ( s/star, 25, she/her, est, )
B A S I C S
˗ˏˋ full name ⟶ rohan kaur ˗ˏˋ age ⟶ thirty-seven ˗ˏˋ pronouns ⟶ he/him ˗ˏˋ place of birth ⟶ falmouth, england ˗ˏˋ star sign ⟶ scorpio

I:  can  you  state  your  full  name,  age,  and  how  long  you’ve  been  living  at  santa  moenda,  for  the  record  ?
R:  he  takes  a  seat  across  from  the  interviewer,  his  posture  stiff  and  his  eyes  glued  to  the  porcelain  tiles  beneath  their  feet.  it’s  clear  he’s  not  used  to  being  in  front  of  the  camera, and much prefers the other way around.  “  rohan  kaur.  i  just  turned  thirty  seven.  i’ve  been  here  nine…  “  he  trails  off  as  he  checks  his  watch  to  confirm  the  date.  “  …yeah.  nine  months.  give  or  take.  ”
I:  let’s  start  at  the  beginning  :  where  were  you  born  ?  what  is  your  family  like  ?
R:  “  i  was  born  off  the  coast  of  england,  in  a  town  called  falmouth.  my  amma  ——  my  mom  ——  was  a  expert  in  marine  biology,  and  she  travelled  around  a  lot,  always  coming  back  with  these  stories  about  the  islands  she  visited  and  the  animals  she  saw.  i  had  two  sisters  growing  up    ;  one  older,  one  younger.  yeah,  i  know…  ——  “  he  titters  nervously,  “  ——  never  trust  a  middle  child.  oh.  and  there’s  my  dad.  he’s  just  a  salesman.  or  he  was  ?  i  think  he  retired  last  year.  “
I:  what  was  your  childhood  like  ?  
R:  “  my  childhood  was  pretty  standard,  as  far  as  childhoods  go.  we  were  all  crammed  into  this  little  pastel  yellow  house  right  on  the  beach.  i  got  lucky.  i  didn’t  have  to  share  my  room  because  i  was  the  only  boy,  but  my  sisters  were  constantly  arguing  on  the  other  side  of  the  wall  so  it  really  didn’t  make  much  difference.  “  again,  he  gives  a  nervous  chuckle,  though  this  one  has  a  hint  of  nostalgia  to  it.  “  my  dad  was  out  caretaker.  my  mom  was  out  on  expeditions  a  lot,  though  she  always  made  sure  to  call  us  provided  she  had  signal  ——  sometimes  you  don’t,  out  in  the  middle  of  the  ocean  ——  and  she  always  brought  us  back  trinkets  from  the  places  she  had  been.  and  stories.  from  the  kind  of  storyteller  she  was  you  would  think  she  has  been  single-handedly  fighting  jeff  bezos  and  climate  change  on  the  open  waters,  or  wrestling  giant  squid  without  a  wetsuit.  “  he  smiles  fondly,  “  we  had  a  lot  of  picnics,  too,  by  the  beach  and  the  water.  my  parents  would  take  us  down  early  in  the  morning  to  explore  the  tidepools  and  the  creatures  living  in  them.  i  used  to  have  a  whole  box  of  seashells  i  stored  like  treasure  under  my  bed  that  i  wouldn’t  let  my  parents  get  rid  of.  we’d  try  to  spot  harbour  dolphins  in  the  channel.  i  don’t  think  we  ever  did,  but  me  and  my  sisters  all  used  to  say  we  did  to  make  each  other  jealous.  “
I:  what  kind  of  kid  were  you  ?
R:  “  me  ?  “  he  looks  caught  off  guard  by  the  question.  he  doesn’t  want  to  talk  about  himself  ——  he  much  prefers  reminiscing  about  his  family  home.  he  thinks  about  it  for  a  minute.  “  quiet.  people  used  to  say  that  a  lot.  they’d  ask  my  dad  if  i  was  okay.  i  was.  i  just  didn’t  have  anything  to  say.  i  read  a  lot  ;  adventure  stories,  mostly.  anything  i  could  get  my  hands  on  at  the  library  or  whatever  i  could  convince  my  parents  to  buy  me  when  we  went  to  the  bookstore.  i  read  moby  dick  when  i  was  too  young  to  understand  and  cried  because  i  didn’t  realize  the  whale  was  supposed  to  be  the  villain.  ”  he  winces,  lips  pursing  together  tightly.  “  that’s  kind  of  embarrassing  to  have  on  record,  huh  ?  oh  well.  my  mom  used  to  say  i  had  a  heart  that  was  as  fragile  as  a  jellyfish.  i  think  it  probably  still  rings  true.  um…  yeah.  i  don’t  know.  i  was  a  pretty  normal,  average  kid.  nothing  extraordinary.  “
I:  the  career  that  you  picked :  what  made  you  decide  to  go  in  that  direction  ?  how  do  you  like  it  ?
R:  “  i  knew  from  the  time  i  could  think  that  i  wanted  to  do  something  that  would  put  me  out  on  the  water  like  my  mom.  it  was  just  a  matter  of  figuring  out  what  that  would  be,  and  how  i  would  get  there.  “  he  shrugs,  “  it’s  basically  in  my  dna.  the  summers  she  would  be  at  home  she  would  take  me  and  my  sisters  out  to  go  snorkelling  off  the  coast  and  the  cliffs  once  we  were  old  enough.  it’s  like  another  world  down  there,  y’know ?  like  you’re  visiting  some  other  planet.  have  you  ever  ——  have  you  ever  gone  diving  ?  no  ?  you  should  ——  chile  is  known  for  being  the  breeding  ground  for  blue  whales,  though  i  guess  they  really  don’t  come  in  close  to  shore.  there  are  other  whales  too,  and  dolphins  that  do  come  in  towards  the  beaches…  ——  i’m  getting  off  topic  here,  aren’t  i  ?  “  sheepishly,  he  lowers  his  head,  curving  his  shoulders  up  towards  his  ears.  “  anyway,  i  didn’t  want  to  be  one  of  those  scientists  who  sit  at  a  desk  at  a  university  and  just  read  papers.  i  wanted  to  actually  be  in  the  ocean,  seeing  it  all  for  myself.  i  guess  that’s  where  the  camera  comes  in.  i  was  going  through  a  difficult  time  in  my  life  and  going  out  into  the  water  and  seeing  the  beauty  was  one  of  the  few  things  that  kept  me  going.  i  wanted  to  share  that  experience  with  other  people.  i  wanted  to  have  a  hand  in  educating  people,  so  they’d  maybe  understand  and  appreciate  it  the  way  i  do  and  want  to  save  it.  does  that  answer  your  question  ?  “  he  blows  out  his  cheeks,  “  i  don’t  know.  “
I:  what  was  the  most  defining  moment  in  your  life  ?  how  has  it  impacted  you  personally  ?  
R:  he  takes  a  long  pause  after  the  question,  his  gaze  downcast  towards  his  jacket  sleeves,  picking  at  the  fraying  denim.  “  about five years ago,  i  got  this  opportunity  to  go  to  california  to  study  the  kelp  forests  with  a hanful of professors.  up until that point i had only had temporary contract jobs, and they often required me to move around. i hoped that maybe, if i provided myself on this research trip i'd be offered even a small position at UCLA.  “  his  voice  has  been  soft  the  entire  interview,  but  now  it’s  quiet  enough  it  can  barely  be  heard,  and  twinged  with  a  hint  of  guilt.    “  up until then i had spent every summer back hope with my family to make sure i didn't go forever without seeing them, but this was such a great opportunity i didn't want to miss out. and i  loved  it, but we  were  out  on  the  research  boat  for  days  at  a  time.  our  signal  was  kind  of  shitty  so  it  wasn’t  until  i  got  back  to  see  that  my  dad  got  a  hold  of  me  to  tell  me  that  um…  my  amma  and  my  younger  sister  they  had,  um…  “  yet  again  his  shoulders  cave  in  on  himself.  he  sounds  like  he’s  trying  not  to  cry.    “  there  was  a  boating  accident.  a  boat  that  was  bigger  than  theirs  wasn’t  paying  attention…  i’m  sorry  ——  you  didn’t  ask  for  some  sob  story.  i  don’t  need  pity.  it  just,  um,  i  do  a  lot  of  what  i  do  now  in  an  attempt  to  be  close  to  them,  i  guess.  like  if  the  ocean  was  the  one  who  took  them  then  maybe  i  can  find  some  peace  of  them  when  i’m  down  there  too.  it  sounds  really  stupid  to  say  out  loud  but…  “  he  shrugs  with  a  shaky  exhale,  “  i  haven’t  really  been  home  since.  i  think  losing  them  kind  of  messed  up  the  family  dynamics.  my  dad  calls  once  and  a  while.  so  does  my  sister.  but  i’m  usually  really  busy,  so  we  don’t  get  to  talk  long.  there’s  an  ocean  out  there  to  save,  right ?  someone’s  gotta  do  it.  “
I:  why  did  you  come  to  santa  moenda  ?  how  do  you  like  it  ?
R:  “  i’ve  already  talked  your  ear  off  about  the  chilean  marine  wildlife,  so  i  won’t  bore  you  anymore  with  that.  “  he  forces  a  laugh,  attempting  to  shake  off  some  of  the  heaviness  that  hangs  in  the  air  around  him.  “  it  just  seemed  like  the  right  place  to  set  up  a  base  camp.  i  post  a  lot  of  the  videos  i  take  online  to  raise  awareness  about  the  ocean  and  what  it’s  going  through  ——  there’s  enough  wildlife  here  that  i’ll  never  run  out  of  content.  it’s  also  beautiful.  “  he  raises  his  hands  to  gesture  to  the  stained  glass  windows  on  the  other  side  of  the  room,  and  the  colourful  mosaic  tiles  dotting  the  walls.    “  it’s  like  an  escape  from  everything. i’ve  been  a  lot  of  places  around  the  world,  seen  a  lot  of  beautiful  cities  and…  i  don’t  know.  “  he  sighs,  dropping  his  shoulders  as  he  looks  up  towards  the  painted  ceiling,  “  it’s  different  here.  plus,  i  think  it  helps  being  able  to  open  the  windows  and  see  the  ocean  staring  back  at  me.  “

he has a small tabby cat that he adopted as a stray when he first moved into the apartment complex, and that's his closest companion. talks to it all day long even though it can't answer back.
he is vegan ! the environment and climate change and the impact of humans on nature is very important to him, and so he tried to negate his own carbon footprint in however many ways he can. this includes going vegan as often as he can ( though if there's no vegan options he's not the kind of person to complain or fuss about it. )
as i mentioned above he does have like a youtube channel where he posts a lot of the amateur footage he takes of wildlife he's encountered over the years.
the death of his mom & his sister did impact him pretty heavily, especially because of the guilt he feels for having not gone home to visit them that summer. he's pretty isolated because of this; it freaks him out to be close to people because he doesn't know if they could just up and die in an accident ( he worries a lot about stuff like that, but only about other people, not himself. ) he's also a workaholic because of this.
adrenaline junky 100%. nobody who swims with sharks willingly isn't.
he travels a lot for work when he gets contracts to do camera work on documentaries or work with scientists to try and get footage of animals that are hard to capture on tape. he'll disappear without saying much for like 2 weeks and then come back from some expedition like he's been there the whole time. practically a ghost out here.
film nerd ! when you're someone who doesn't leave your apartment except to go look at the ocean what else do you have to do except consume content. that also helps with the videography stuff that he does i think. ~ cinema ~
he can very shittily play guitar. was good at it once but hasn't touched the one sitting in the corner of his room for years.
his pinterest is right here and there's a section with some random pinterest photo ideas for connections but otherwise i'm open to whatever ! this is long so thank you for reading lmfao.

Hey Anon,
I don't know why you felt your ask wasn't worth posting. I don't think your ask was wrong or hateful in anywhich way. The way I saw it, it was more curious... Still, I will respect your request and won't post it, but I would like to share my perspective with you.
To put context for other readers, I received an ask where Anon wanted to know if Jared and Jensen were popular in India. The anon came across an account that seemed Indian and moat probably the account was handled by an AA as they didn't like implication made by anon that Someone else non-SPN international actor was more popular in India then Jensen.
If the AA was Indian then I would like to apologize to Anon for the foul language used by the AA. And to answer your question than no Jensen and Jared aren't popular in India. Hardly anyone knows them. Here is a perspective on how nichest niche the SPN fandom is.
There are 100s of languages spoken in India, of which the percentage of English speaking and understanding population is only 10%. Of that 10% majority of the population follows Hollywood A-Listers. There are some Hollywood actor who have managed to break thru this language barrier, and no Jared and Jensen aren't one of them. In India, most international actors like Tom Cruise, Leonardo Di Caprio, Robert Downey, Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth, are hot favorite amongst kids and young adults especially Avengers cast thanks to Avengers and its Indian language dubs. As per my observation, the international series with Indian dubs gets more popularity, and actors/ actresses are better known across India than the non dubs. Supernatural isn't dub, so the reach is limited. Limited to the metro cities or developed cities, you will find fans for shows like Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones, Suits, Succession, etc...
So if you ask me or if going by the poll carried by the network that airs Supernatural. The fandom was very, very niche. There is a good chance that of 50 people, only one or two might have heard about the show. In Mumbai only , if you compare Dev Patel and Jensen, then Dev Patel wins with no competition. Also, Freckles ain't considered cute or sexy amongst Indians. Also Jensen git the most generic face, so he is not that memorable either.This is why, in between Jared and Jensen, it was Jared/Sam who won the poll. The majority of Indians will go for hunks like Jared. So either you have to be hunk or extremely charming to attract an Indian. Politeness and humbleness top everything, and that is why Jared won the poll.
Let me tell you this : Everything said above is just my observation ... there are billions of Indians and each of them got different preferences, so I am just sharing the pattern or the market study that I have found.

little women part one: the bridgertons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: The Bridgerton sisters are closer than most but the trials of womanhood might just tear these little women apart.
A/N: Please let me know if you enjoy. Also feel free to imagine the Bridgertons as whoever I don't describe them or Y/N only the love interests. Speaking of love interests, I have cast Laurie Laurence as Dev Patel, again you can picture whoever.
Please note: 1) the Bridgerton boys will not be in this fic and 2) a significant portion of the dialogue is lifted from the Little Women (2019) script.
little women masterlist | next part
Eloise Bridgerton is a beautiful young woman. She knows this. She is also a very smart young woman. Unfortunately only one of those traits is useful for a young woman in society. She hopes this will help her chances in her upcoming meeting.
Striding slowly to a large wooden door, she wipes her hand on her skirt before knocking sharply.
She steps in, hoping to appear confident in front of everyone. Despite the room being full of men working, no one even looks at her. Most don’t realise she’s even there.
Eloise scans the room, searching for Mr Dashwood. When she can’t see him, she walks over to the only man actually paying attention.
“Excuse me, I’m looking for Mr Dashwood.”
The old man just stares. She smiles, a little unnerved, a little confused. He very pointedly looks at his name plate, ‘Mr Dashwood’.
Eloise whispers under her breath, “Of course you are.” She clears her throat then holds out some papers to him, “A friend of mine wanted me to hand in a story she wrote. And to ask if she can write more, if it suits.”
“Not a first attempt, I take it?” He snatches them from her, giving the words a quick scan.
“No, sir. She has sold to other papers and won prizes for her stories.”
“Prizes?”
“Yes. Sir.”
He looks her up and down with thinly veiled disdain. “Sit.”
She does so, pressing her hands firmly into her lap to cover the ink stains.
Dipping his pen in the ink pot, Mr Dashwood begins some ‘alterations’. In actuality, he’s crossing out entire paragraphs or pages. Then he slaps the paper on his desk, startling the young woman across from him.
Eloise watches with despair, all of her work being destroyed so easily by some man who apparently thinks his lavatory doesn’t smell.
Through the fog in her ears, his voice grumbles. “We’ll take it.”
“Hmm?”
“We’ll take it. With alterations.” Mr Dashwood doesn’t even wait for the ink to dry, just gathers the pages together. “It’s far too long.”
Eloise takes her work back, brows furrowed at the lines marring her loopy script, “You’ve cut so much.” She notices his ‘are-you-seriously-going-to-argue’ expression and clarifies, “I made sure some of the sinners repent.”
“People want to be amused, not preached at. Even after Lady Whistledown’s gossip column stopped, her influence means morals don’t sell nowadays.” Mr Dashwood looks down his nose at Eloise, “Perhaps mention that to your ‘friend’.”
“What compensation –”
“Twenty.”
She looks down at her work, she knows it’s worth more but she needs the money. “You can have it. Make the edits.”
He hands her the money, and she reluctantly returns the story.
Eloise stands, brushing her skirt. Mr Dashwood eyes her ink-stained fingers with mild amusement.
She meets his eye, “Should I tell my friend you’ll take another? If she had one.”
Mr Dashwood sighs, “We’ll look at it. Tell her to make it short and spicy. Oh and if the main character is a girl, make sure she’s either married or dead by the end.”
“I’m sorry?”
He ignores her, pen in hand again, “What name?”
“Oh, none at all please.”
“If that’s what ‘she’ prefers.”
“Good day, sir.”
She practically runs from the office, attracting the ire of some of the men around her. Then once she’s outside, she picks up her skirts and sprints.
A sweet little cat meets Eloise at the front door of the boarding house she lives in. The tuxedo kitten stretches and meows, so she picks him up. “You know, my Frannie would love you, Muffin.”
She makes her way to the drawing room, kissing Muffin on the head and dropping him on a seat near the crackling fire. Eloise turns her back to the fire, warming her body while she writes.
She hears loud conversation and pops her head up to see her favourite people in the world (bar her family). Philip Crane and his two young children, Oliver and Amanda are the best part of living in the city.
“Hello Miss Eloise!” The two duck in just to give her a hug before they run to their apartment.
As she watches them leave, she makes eye contact with Mr Crane, his eyes are bright with the infectious joy of his children. He steps into the room, the light of the fire highlighting his profile. Eloise has never been more jealous of her sister Y/N’s artistic ability, she wishes she could paint him just where he stands. She’ll have to settle for her writing.
“Good afternoon, Miss Bridgerton.”
“Good afternoon, Mister Crane.”
In an attempt to appear casual, she returns to her work.
He admires her for a moment then frowns, “You’re on fire.”
“Thank you.”
“No, you’re on fire.” He points to her skirt. The back of her dress has caught on fire. She puts it out quickly, face burning with humiliation.
“No, don’t worry! I have the same habit.” He shows her scorch marks on his jacket.
Eloise smiles and takes a step towards him when the matron of the house interrupts.
“Your children are waiting.” She smacks Philip’s arm softly but can’t help her delighted expression over the two connecting.
“Sorry Mr Crane, Oliver and Amanda need me.” Eloise takes the matron’s arm and heads to the door.
“Tell them I will be a little later tonight, still in time to tell them their bedtime story.”
Eloise looks over her shoulder, “Of course. Perhaps you can tell them about my sister’s adventures in Paris.”
~*~*~*~*~
Y/N Bridgerton is a beautiful young woman. She knows this. She is also a very talented artist. Although that second part has been a source of doubt in her life.
She was in an art lesson with some of the best young painters in Paris. The class had to paint a traditional scene of friends at a picnic and as Y/N looked around, she noticed something concerning. The artist next to her was exceptional. His work was bright and colourful, loose lines and flat colours. Original and unique to himself. Hers was detailed and realistic, special care taken with light and shade. An imitation rather than an innovative piece of work. The realisation that she wasn’t a future genius or some incredible prodigy terrified her.
Disheartened by the lesson, Y/N sits in the open air carriage with her aunt, basking in the cool breeze brushing her face. She holds a folded letter from home tight to her chest. If she closed her eyes she’s certain she’d feel their love seeping through her clothes. Her aunt is complaining about something or other, a hobby she enjoyed far too often.
“I tell you, the decadents have ruined Paris, if you ask me. These French women couldn’t lift a hairbrush.”
Y/N doesn’t respond.
“Y/N!” The girl in question jolts, turning to her aunt, “I said, ‘These French women couldn’t lift a hairbrush.’”
“Oh yes, ha ha. Very true Aunt Ledger.”
“Don’t humour me, girl.” Aunt Ledger keeps her tone even but when she looks at the letter in her niece’s lap, her almost unshakeable facade wavers. She hides her distress with a sneer, “What do they write, your troublemaking family?”
“Mama hasn’t written about Francesca yet, I really should go back.” Y/N opens the letter again, “They say I should stay.”
“There’s nothing for you to do if you go back. She’s sick, not lonely.” Aunt Ledger ignores Y/N’s foul glare, blabbering on, “And you shouldn’t go home until you’re engaged to Fred Vaughn.”
Y/N folds the letter again, tucking it away safely, “Yes and completed my painting lessons of course.”
Aunt Ledger waves her off, “Yes, yes of course.”
Y/N returns to people-watching, upset by the lack of proper communication from her family and her aunt’s nastiness. A tall man with curly dark hair and soft dark skin walks past, hands tucked deep into his pockets.
Y/N jumps up in her seat, tapping the driver impatiently, “STOP STOP STOP! IT’S LAURIE!” She hikes up her skirts and runs to the man crying “LAURIE!”
Laurie turns, notices a woman draped in purple running towards him, screaming his name. As she jumps into his arms, he realises it’s Y/N, that sweet girl from his childhood.
He spins her around, laughing brightly. When they separate, she grabs his hands and he squeezes hers gently, “Y/N, you’ve grown up so much! It’s wonderful to see you.”
“You wrote you’d come to the hotel!” Her brows furrow softly.
He can’t take his eyes from her, roaming her face to memorise every detail, “I looked for you, I couldn’t find you anywhere.”
“Clearly you didn’t look hard enough.”
“Maybe I just didn’t recognize you, you’ve become so beautiful.” He moves their hands to the side and steps back, nodding at her.
Y/N wrinkles her nose, “Please don’t.”
“I thought you liked that sort of thing!”
“Well I don’t.” She smiles again, “Where’s your grandfather?”
“Still in Germany.” He finally pulls his hands away to put them behind his back, “I’m on my own, traveling and having fun.”
Y/N teases him, “And drinking and gambling and flirting…”
Laurie looks so horrified that if Y/N didn’t know better, she would’ve thought he was genuinely scandalised. “Please don’t tell your mother.”
“So you’re chasing some girl around Europe?” Y/N’s expression drops, “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t believe when I heard Eloise turned you down.”
“Don’t be sorry, I’m not.” He’s lying for the moment but not that he’s seen Y/N again, it could be true.
Aunt Ledger interrupts the sweet moment, shrieking, “Y/N! Y/N BRIDGERTON! YOU GET BACK HERE NOW!”
Y/N pulls Laurie along by his hand and they run back to the carriage, “Coming Aunt Ledger!”
After he helps Y/N into her seat, Laurie kisses Aunt Ledger on the cheek, “You look marvellous as always.”
“GET OFF ME! GO, GO!” With surprising strength, the crabby old woman pushes Laurie away and smacks the driver.
The carriage pulls away but Y/N kneels on her seat to call out to her friend, “Come to the New Year’s Party! It’ll be so much fun - everyone will be there, including Fred!” She’s about to turn away when she remembers, “Pick me up at the hotel at eight! And dress for festivities! Top hats and silks!”
“I will, I’ll wear my best silk!” He smiles and waves her off.
She grins and sits back down, ignoring her aunt’s ranting.
Laurie stays there a little longer, admiring the woman he reunited with. He walks away with a load lifted from his chest.
Y/N can’t help but take one last look at him before he’s gone again. He was still just as handsome as ever and she knows. She will never stop loving him.
~*~*~*~*~
Daphne Basset (née Bridgerton) is a beautiful young woman. She knows this. She is also a very tired new mother. Despite her intense love for her children, she cannot help but envy those who have not faced the same struggles she has.
Daphne watches her ‘friend’ Cressida Berbrooke wander around the shop, luxurious silks draped over the blonde’s arms. A small part of her wishes she could do the same, unworried about the cost of her purchase.
Cressida is the type of young lady who has never wanted for anything, everything has been given to her. So when she looks over at her ‘dearest’ friend, who eyes a soft green silk, her heart bleeds. “Daphne, that colour would do wonders for your skin tone, and I know the perfect dressmaker to help you.”
Daphne drops the silk and whips around to Cressida, “No, no, no I couldn’t possibly. Simon needs a new coat and the twins need new clothes.”
Cressida’s tone is spiteful, having been spoiled her whole life, she enjoys embarrassing her ‘friends’. “And you need a new dress.”
Daphne tries to hide her expression, aware of what Cressida’s doing,
“I can’t.”
“But he’ll be so pleased with how you look that he’ll forget all about the expense.” The blonde giggles.
Silk wasn’t that expensive, was it? “I suppose it’s not too much of an extravagance.”
The sales clerk seizes his opportunity, “Will twenty yards do?”
Daphne nods, “Yes, thank you.”
Her heart is warm with delight as she leaves with Cressida. When she gets home, the full force of guilt hits her. “What was I thinking?”
Her daughters play in the garden as she enters, dropping the large amount of silk on the dining table. She sits down on the porch, her regret almost overwhelming.
The twins run towards her, “Mummy!” They hug her tightly and she tucks her face into their shoulders to hide her tears. When they run off again, she’s thankful for the weight they lift. Even if it’s just for the moment.
~*~*~*~*~
Francesca Bridgerton is a beautiful young woman. She knows this. She also knows that she’s living on borrowed time. Her body is slowly giving up on her, for all her and her mother’s best efforts.
Frannie has always loved playing the pianoforte. It was something her family bonded over, and every time she plays now, those memories come flooding back.
Her favourite song to play was an old lullaby her mother and sisters used to sing. Their voices blend with the piano melody in her head.
Her hand suddenly seizes, pain searing into her bones. She brings the hand to her chest, flexing it and breathing through the pain. When she lays her hands on top of the piano, the sunlight warms them from the inside, soothing the pain ever so slightly.
Her mother’s voice calls from another room, “Frannie? Francesca!”
She can’t bring herself to respond.
~*~*~*~*~
After her lessons with Oliver and Amanda finish, Eloise has plenty of free time before the matron’s curfew. She decides to go to the theatre, a venue that once seemed too extravagant for someone like her. But the theatre she frequented allowed people who couldn’t buy tickets to stand at the back and enjoy the play.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is playing, a play she’d always wanted to see performed. She’s enraptured, giggling at the appropriate moments, commenting on things with the man next to her.
During Helena’s soliloquy, Philip Crane looks around the theatre, watching people’s reactions to her heartfelt speech. He’s seen the play enough times that he could probably quote it by heart.
He turns in his seat, having always found the reactions of the people in the back’s reactions to be the most interesting.
There he sees Eloise Bridgerton, bright and delightful as always. She seems entranced by Helena’s performance and he can’t help the smile on his face.
When the play ends, Eloise follows Philip and his friends to a beer hall, hoping to a) get to know him better and b) finally make some friends in the city.
She’s stopped on the stairs by a young man, speaking a foreign language. He holds a hand out and gestures to the makeshift dance floor.
“I only speak English sorry!” She cries, beaming at the sweet man.
“Come dance!” He clearly learned this phrase for this situation, so she rewards his pragmatism, joining him in a jig.
The dance is free, unstructured and unchoreographed. Couples spin wildly, whirl around each other and some swap partners as they go. Eloise slowly makes her way to Philip, who gives her his hands. She dances the night away with this kind man, the joy radiating from their bodies even as they return to the boarding house. The matron locks up behind them, chuckling quietly to herself. Clearly she seems to know something they don’t.

anyone want to jump into plotting in a shared discord 1x1 server? after we chat a little and see if we vibe ofc. 21+ only pls as i am over 25. my main blog is haziest but i'm shadowbanned so i am posting here. check out my guidelines/some fcs i want under the read more and feel free to message me on discord at iranoveroprah, just tell me your url first please!
i'm called nine

25+
queer
i generally like playing face claims of color, and i prefer if you do too
i play any gender including nonbinary & trans muses & fcs, and i prefer if you do too
ask for my discord where (if we vibe) we can plot and make a server and headcanon and thread and stuff (i can make it if you want me to no pressure lol)
will not rp: pregnancy, anything involving babies or parenting including parents with grown children, military, historical, royal, cops, generally “taboo” topics (inc*st, r*pe, etc. but just ask if you’re unsure), fcs or muses under 20, or celebrities as themselves
i now have a list of banned fcs (sorry it keeps growing):
anyone under age 20. no exceptions. benedict cumberbatch, bts members, choi jongho, choi seungcheol (s.coups), chonnasorn sajakul (sorn), chris evans, chris pratt, colton haynes, david harbour, ezra miller, henry cavill, holland roden, jackson wang, jacob elordi, jennifer lawrence, jeon soyeon, kardashians/jenners, kim woojin, kim youngjo (ravn), kj apa, lim jaebeom (jay b), matthew gray gubler, miley cyrus, oliver sykes, park jaehyung (jae/eaJ), ryan gosling, taylor swift, tom holland, won kunhang (hendery), wong yukhei (lucas). this may be subject to change over time.
i generally like fast-moving threads, and i find <300 word threads are easiest to reply to, but i don’t mind long threads too! usually i’ll recommend doing a rapid fire thread alongside a longer thread to keep the inspo going
anything else just ask!
