a/n: the choke hold older logan has on me..... euthanize me at this point lmao

tags @yesv01 @magcon7280

As with all nsfw works, all characters are aged up to 18+ (like way over 18 in logan’s case lol)

That being said jesus christ let’s dive right into the brain rot

First things first, a little more about Logan

He’s in his early 40’s and aging like a fine goddamn wine

MEGA MEGA dilf vibes

After the whole millions of dollars sunken into a bad investment in his family’s massive media conglomerate mishap, he still faced a lot of pressure to join the family business

But with Rory rejecting his proposal, he felt so fucking down and beaten up by life

He just had two massive blows to his ego back to back

And he needed a win

Then the strangest thing happened 

He just got back from another late night of partying with his friends and switched on the tv so he wouldn’t have to fall asleep with his thoughts, and some random movie was playing

The girl in the movie is at dinner with her boyfriend and thinks he’s going to propose, but he breaks up with her instead

It hits a little too close to home and Logan’s about to switch it off

Then she decides to go to law school to prove herself

He finds himself getting more and more invested in this movie, relating more to Elle with every scene, and by the morning he confronts the idea he’s been shoving away for too long so he doesn’t rock the boat

He talks to his dad and they decide Logan will go to law school, but remain a prominent board member and shareholder of the family company

Mitchum is surprised by how responsible and well thought out Logan’s plan is

He’s forging a path to a very lucrative field - one Mitchum can tell he’s going to be very successful in - while still staying involved enough in the family business 

So Logan goes off to law school, and 20 years later he’s a total shark 

He’s a prestigious, expensive lawyer with a reputation for never losing and a long streak of killing it with really high profile cases

Now the Huntzberger name carries all the weight and power of his father’s media reach, and Logan’s success in the courtroom 

He’s excelling 

And he’s excelling enough to keep his family out of his personal life for a while 

He’s living the bachelor life until he hits 40

That’s when his parents decide it’s really unacceptable that he’s still not married 

So they tell him if he doesn’t get married soon they’ll arrange something

Some french heiress or something 

And Logan finds himself right back where he didn’t want to be

And then, like a gift from god, he sees you

Like I said in my initial drabble, Logan first saw you in a cafe reading some dusty novel no one actually reads like war and peace or crime and punishment or something

He's seen people your age do that before, reading complicated stuffy literature to seem smart and make some pretentious English class commentary that barely makes sense 

So he calls you on it

"War and Peace, huh?"

He’s expecting you to say something fake and pretentious

Some bullshit fake deep pseudo intellectual shit

But you look up at him, only pausing for a moment before you speak

You’re surprised to see such a gorgeous guy in a little cafe like this

Especially one that seems interested in talking to you

And god, the way you talk about it

The way your eyes light up

It takes him by surprise

He's not just interested

He's invested 

You start talking and realize that you've been talking for way longer than you expected to

And he wants more

He wants to know more about you, wants to see you sweet smile and hear your cute little laugh when he says something charming or compliments you

So he takes you out to dinner, his treat 

He guides you out the door and into his Porsche with his hand on your back 

It's a subtle gesture but it makes your stomach flip 

Then he buckles your seat belt for you

If you weren't sold before you sure are by now 

So he takes you to this nice fancy restaurant, wines and dines you, and he is laying on the charm thick

"Oh, come on. A pretty young thing like you must have a boyfriend."

"Really, you have excellent taste.”

You don’t miss the way he’s been eyeing you all night

And he doesn’t miss the way you squeeze your thighs together when he touches your face or plays with your fingers

One thing leads to another and after he pays the bill and leaves a generous tip, you find him ushering you back into his porsche

And yet again he closes your door for you and gets you all buckled in

This time when he drives his hand rests on your knee

He thinks he can handle this

He’s the biggest whore on the east coast /affectionate 

Then you grab his hand and move it up your thigh

There’s no going back now

He’s in just as deep as you are

Before you know it you’re tearing off each other’s clothes

His lips are all over you and motherfucker does he know what he’s doing

He worried for a moment he might have lost his edge

But as he lays you down into his big soft bed, your skin touching his silky sheets for the first time

But definitely not the last

As he finally touches you and feels how wet you are for him

He knows he didn’t peak in college

“Shh, listen,” he says between kisses that make you feel dizzy, “you’re gonna tell me if it’s too much for you, can you do that?”

You nod while he holds your face in his big hands

“You gotta say it,” he chuckles at how sweet you are, how well you respond to him, “use your words, baby…” 

You manage to choke out a desperate yes between kisses that makes his stomach twist

And that is the very beginning to your intense affair with Logan Huntzberger 

He’s desperate to see you again

He sends flowers and a dress and a gorgeous necklace to your apartment

And not the normal amount of flowers

The Logan amount of flowers

So a lot

And you can’t believe your luck finding a hot rich older guy that’s so into you 

You really like this attention

Your daddy issues are SCREAMING

And Logan likes having someone as gorgeous and intelligent and into him as you are

And he wants to do this right

But he’s rapidly approaching the deadline his family set

He doesn’t want to scare you off

GOD that’s the last thing he wants

But he is terrified of proposing and having it end up like it did the last time

Eventually he works up the nerve to talk to you about it 

He’s explaining everything to you while you pay your bills 

But it says they’re already paid

And your credit cards are paid off

And your debt has just disappeared

Even your student loans are gone

And there’s a fat deposit in your checking account 

He paid off all your debt and didn’t tell you

By the time he’s done explaining that you basically either need to get married asap or you can’t see each other anymore he still hasn’t brought it up

And you realize he’s not going to

He didn’t pay your bills to guilt you into anything

He’s not holding it over your head

He’s taking care of you

And all you’ve ever wanted is someone who will take care of you

Logan is surprised when you agree

But he’s even more surprised at how fast you agree

You sit in his lap and end up rambling about how much you love him, how you don’t think you’ll ever find anyone you like as much as him or anyone that treats you as well as he does

To no one’s surprise the conversation ends with him taking you on every surface of your apartment

Hours later you’re cuddling naked on your couch, resting your head on his muscular chest and listening to his heartbeat

“So like… are we engaged now?” you ask looking up at him

He laughs sweetly

“No, not yet. I have to actually propose first.”

You think back to your conversation earlier when you first said you’d want to marry him

“So that didn’t count before?”

His heart breaks at how little you ask for

“No, that didn’t count.” He kisses your head, “I’m going to take you out somewhere nice, give you a proper proposal, with a nice ring.”

You get butterflies thinking about it

You can’t believe how much he does for you

How much he wants to do for you 

You’re quiet for a moment, and he can feel you smiling into his chest

“...Okay.” 

Your voice is so small and bashful, and he can hear you suppressing a flustered giggle

Fuck he can’t get enough of you 

He laughs and pulls you closer, grabbing your chin and makes you look up at him so he can kiss you 

You fall asleep in his arms

And you think that you won’t mind being married so young if it’s Logan you’re marrying

Logan is looking at you with so much love and adoration

And right before he falls asleep 

He thinks that maybe it’s not too late for him to find love after all

Aaaaaaa I love wine night 😭💖 (i fear i may have missed a couple in the past) but i’m here now! and with angsty alhaitham thots 🫣😈 how do you think a really bad argument would go with alhaitham and reader? like i’m just imagining so many scenario’s rn and i just wanna dissect this man. i’m just interested in a hc you have of angry alhaitham/how he would handle a fight with his s/o. ya know?

anyway i hope you’re having a wonderful night, mootie. i’ve missed you lots 💖

Z!!!!!! I have missed you so so so much!!! 💜💜💜 I’m always down for an angsty alhaitham you know how much I love him 🙈

Kaveh hates having to be in the middle of arguments, so he’s finally not going to be. At first he wasn’t sure why you would date someone like Alhaitham but he’s not one to judge. Until tonight that is. He’s so tempted to leave his room but honestly his roommate had it coming.

“That scholar was absolutely flirting with you,” you almost scream. “How could you not tell?!”

Alhaitham rolls his eyes as he sits on the couch. “And like I’ve told you, there is nothing going on between us. Your insecurities are astounding.”

How dare he? Kaveh slaps his forehead at his roommates stupidity. “My insecurities?! You have got to be kidding me! Do you hear yourself? Says the person who got mad that Cyno asked for my expertise.”

“The general has had feelings for you for a long time,” Alhaitham responds, “everyone knows that. Why do you indulge him? Is it because he says those awful jokes? You have had such a terrible weakness for those.”

Kaveh can sense that you’ve rolled your eyes and start to pace. “And so what?! Everyone with eyes can see how attractive you are. You’ve had plenty of people confess to you but you were too stupid to realize it. You don’t hear what they say about me! That you should dump me, that I’m no good for the grand sage or grand scribe or whatever!”

“And why do you listen to them?” God, Kaveh wants to strangle his roommate. If he didn’t have a commission to finish up he’d be at your defense right now. “If they flirt with me then there’s nothing I can do. I can’t control them.”

“But you can at least reject their advances! Why can’t you see that? She kissed! Your! Cheek!”

“It was merely friendly.”

“A friendly kiss on the cheek?! Alhaitham do you hear yourself?! No one who is a friend should be kissing you like that!”

Kaveh is certain Alhaitham is about to say something incredibly stupid and hurtful. And unfortunately, he’s correct.

“Then should I not be giving you the same affection? You are my partner after all. I give or receive affection as it’s due.”

Kaveh actually slapped his face that time. With his ear pressed to the door, he can already hear you crying and haphazardly grabbing your things. “Your partner? Am I,” your voice breaks, “nothing more than a means to an end for you? Is this just another partnership to you? To achieve your goals?” By this point you’re openly sobbing and Kaveh wants nothing more than to hug you and slap his friend.

Alhaitham pauses to think. “I don’t think-“

“Fucking forget it,” you breathe out with exhaustion. “I’m out of here.”

“Sure, just walk away angry instead of talking about it like you always do.”

You push him then and make your way out of the house. The door slams quickly and that’s when Kaveh makes his move. “You’re a fucking idiot,” Kaveh sighs. “You basically said they’re not special to you and that you do this with everyone.”

Kaveh had never seen his roommate run so fast in his life, presumably to catch up to you and profusely apologize.

Elle’s Wine Night!!

The Blood Moon: Moon Knight

——

Pairing: Marc Spector X Steven Grant

(A/N: This oneshot is FLUFF CENTRAL. You’ve been warned.)

—

Synopsis: Khonsu has called The Moon Knight system to a special meeting on the night of a rare Blood Moon, and offers them a favor. A night split apart, in their own bodies.

…

“Bloody ‘ell. You can do that?” Steven asked, Khonsu’s offer shocking him to front.

“I can. But only for tonight.” Khonsu replied. “In the morning, you’ll all three be right back in one body like nothing ever happened. It’s Blood Moon Magic.”

After a long moment of deliberation, Marc took over.

“And you don’t require anything from Steven and I? Only Jake going on this…business outing with you?” Marc restated Khonsu’s offer.

“I swear, I require nothing. You’ve all been through so much, you deserve to each have your own bodies. Even if only until dawn.” Khonsu said earnestly. “And Lockley and I have some mutually beneficial business, yes. Nothing he won’t enjoy doing.”

“Ok. Split us up. But if this backfires We’ll never work with you again.”

In a flash of blinding light, One body became three.

Steven, Slightly shorter than the others, hands wringing nervously, Marc, looking confident as ever, and Jake, hands wrapped like a Boxer’s.

“Hermanos! Good to be able to do this!” Jake teased, wrapping his arms around the others.

He grinned, playfully messing Steven’s hair in a noogie.

“‘S good to see you too, Jake. Be good tonight.” Steven warned.

“Yeah, don’t do anything we wouldn’t do.” Marc added.

The three looked at each other for a moment, and laughed.

“I’m sure You two can occupy yourselves for the night. Have fun. You deserve it.” Khonsu said, waving Jake away.

“Duty calls. You gotta tell me all about your nights tomorrow” Jake said, fist bumping his alters and following the god.

Jake and Khonsu disappeared, leaving Marc and Steven alone.

“Gods…this is strange. I still haven’t gotten over the first time.” Steven muttered.

“This time, we can actually enjoy it. No repressed memories, no innocent lives in danger.” Marc continued awkwardly.

“Marc?” Steven said. “I understand if you have things you wanna do tonight. I’ll be fine….”

Marc grinned, throwing his arm around Steven, who’s eyes widened with hope.

“You kidding? There’s no one I’d rather spend my night with.” Marc felt proud seeing how Steven’s eyes sparkled. And with Layla off doing missions with Taweret, it was the truth.

Steven beamed.

“I dunno about you, Bruv, but I’m itching for a drink and a nice night in.”

“That sounds nice. We could make dinner and play cards. I think I still have that Uno deck from when Layla and Taweret demolished us last month.”

In truth, Marc really need a nice quiet night in.

…

A little while later, the pair were in Steven’s small kitchen/dining room, and Marc plated up two burgers.

“I still don’t see how you eat that vegan meat.” Marc teased Steven, bringing the plates to the table.

“It’s good for you. It’s made from plants.” Steven quipped back.

Steven poured two glasses of wine, and the pair sat down together for a meal for the first time.

….

After dinner, Marc and Steven sat on the sofa, just hanging out and talking.

Steven filled their glasses, well on his way to tipsy.

“…That Romanian guy stil owes me $20.” Steven grumbled.

“I am Dracula, I vant to steal your pocket change.” Marc snickered in a bad Dracula impression.

Steven giggled, almost spilling his drink. Maybe they were both getting a bit drunk.

“We’re absolutely smashed, mate. I can’t remember the last time I had a good laugh like this.” He chortled.

“I don’t know the last time I heard you laugh, Steven…” Marc said seriously. “I wish I could hear it more.”

“Ok, you’re definitely drunk, Marc.” Steven’s cheeks flushed.

“I’m serious. We’re always fighting crime, or on business somewhere. We should laugh more. Enjoy life more…” Marc insisted.

“Then we will. Even when we’re back in one body, we should do this more often. At least once a month, just stay at home and enjoy ourselves.” Steven agreed. “But y’know what’s great about being split up?”

“Hmm?” Mark asked.

“I get to know you’re real. I can touch you.” Steven put a hand on Marc’s knee. “I can enjoy your company. When we were in The Duat, I was so terrified. In that dark sarcophagus, all alone… I thought I’d lost you. I thought I’d never hear your voice again, and then you found me and it’s like…”

“Like everything was right again.” Marc agreed.

Marc was arguably more sober than Steven, but he felt a little giddy that Steven truly enjoyed him being around.

“I mean, I love Jake to bits, and I feel awful for not letting him out too, but… something’s different with us. We’re a pair. Jake can work without either of us, but I felt so… complete when you found me in there.” Steven babbled. “Like everything that was wrong about me was made right, like I found something I never even knew I’d been missing.”

He shrugged matter of factly, draining his glass and putting it on the nightstand. Marc did the same before speaking up.

“Steven….. I… I know I’ve been harsh to you, and I pressured you at first, but I honestly don’t know what I would do without you. You are the glue that holds this system together. That holds me together…. You’re so good, and you keep going even if you have no idea where you’re going, or how to get there. You kept us alive in so many ways I couldn’t…”

Marc trailed off seeing Steven’s eyes going misty.

“You big softie. don’t go cryin’ on me, now, Grant.” Marc smiled, instinctively wiping the tear that threatened to fall from Steven’s eye.

Steven threw his arms around Marc’s neck in a tight hug, laughing off the emotional moment.

Maybe it was the wine, maybe it was how genuine and kind Steven was, but Marc realized in that moment, he was deeply, and terrifyingly in love with him.

“Steven…” Marc mumbled into his alter’s curly hair.

“Yeah?” Steven asked, pulling away.

Marc grew serious again, holding Steven’s face and looking him in the eyes.

“I love you. You don’t hear that nearly enough, but I do. When I gave you my heart in The Duat, that was for real. And no take backs, you’re stuck with it. You’re stuck with me.”

“I love you too, Marc…” Steven said, his words almost a whisper.

Before he could overthink it, Marc leaned in and kissed him. It was quick, but he put every ounce of himself into it, and Steven did the same.

“Blimey…” Steven muttered when they parted. “What are we going to do now? This is a huge change for us…”

Marc shrugged, lying back on their bed.

“We enjoy the rest of the night, together.”

Marc put an arm out, pulling Steven to lay next to him.

The pair lied with their hands entwined, and talked for hours, until sleep finally crept up on them.

They slept better than they had in years.

The Evening Before 22

My birthday is tomorrow. Naturally, I have some thoughts.

This is the Evening Before 22:

Mismatched socks, side of the road rug, white wine, doctored leftovers. This is what I am saying: I am a child who is being forced into being an adult. And forced is the most intentionally chosen word of that sentence; I do not want this. My laundry needs to be shifted from the washer to the dryer. I must take a break.

To return, in my walk to the laundry room in the basement of this apartment building, I was thinking – what role does 22 play in the cultural zeitgeist? I know nothing other than Taylor Swift, whose bubblegum pop joy is no where close to capturing the paralyzing fear I fear as someone who has barely been able to recognize any of the patterns of life yet. Google's first result is Elle Woods, and seeing as I decided quite literally three hours ago that I would not be applying to graduate school this year this upsets me. Other than that, I get the Kicking and Screaming cast, Ben from The Graduate, those I haven't seen yet: St. Elmo's Fire, Reality Bites, and Adventureland.

Extra points for Jesse Eisenberg wearing my college's tee shirt.

So obviously, through merely listing all those people, it seems as though 22's main significance, aside from "We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way / It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah" appears to be college graduation. Go figure. 21 is drinking, debauchery, youth; 22 is mowing your parent's lawn and drinking wine from a mug. While your wet laundry seeps on a table because all the dryers are full for the next 13 minutes.

I have a tangent: aside from the depressing rut any birthday evokes in a person, we are complicit in forcing a birthday celebrator into an unimaginable rut sometimes. If you are throwing a surprise party, there will come a time when on that person's birthday, they are left to sit at home, alone, depressed, confused, questioning everything, as they wonder how they got to the place in which all of their friends are 'busy' on the night of their birthday. And even if you kind of know this is happening, there will come a time in the night in which all of your friends are hanging out (setting things up) without you, and you must walk, alone, to wherever this is happening. You stare yourself in the mirror and wonder: 'how did I become this?' 'I am 22 and forget to brush my teeth most nights of the week.' 'will I be okay?'

I don't have much more to say, because it is the night before. I'm sure tomorrow will be its own unexpected trove of disappointment and newfound questioning.

Here's to 21 being the last birthday you celebrate before birthdays just become you getting closer to death.

Bend & Snap

Rafael Barba xfem!reader Warnings: language, non sexual teasing. (a/n: updating links so i can finally delete the old blog. feel free to ignore. or have a lil refresher!)

“No. Absolutely not.” Rafael chuckled in protest, “have one of your girls and wine night this weekend and watch it.”

“Rafa…” you whined, “come on!” Pouting, you shot him your best puppy dog eyes as your crossed your arms over your chest.

“You remember that I’m a lawyer, right? Who actually went to Harvard, practices law every day.”

“Yes! It’s just a movie, you said I could pick tonight, and I wanna watch Legally Blonde!”

“You mean make me suffer through it.”

“You made me suffer through a documentary about birds last week.”

“That we didn’t even make it halfway through because someone couldn’t keep their hands to themselves.”

“I was bored! And I didn’t hear you complaining at the time.”  You smirked. And he playfully rolled his eyes at you.

“Do I get to call out all the horrible inaccuracies?” 

“If you do we’re not debating over the movie, it’s getting paused and will take three times longer to get through.” You counter offered.

“You’re lucky I love you.” He muttered and you squealed, jumping against him in a hug, peppering his face in kisses.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” You paused to give him a deeper kiss, “if you really can’t stand it I’ll make it up to, promise.” With a wink you grabbed your wine glass and skipped off to the living room, quickly pulling the movie up on the t.v.

You were pleasantly surprised when Rafael’s commentary only popped up once in a while, at least at the beginning quarter of the movie there wasn’t much law stuff to argue about. He honestly thought it seemed like another average 2000’s teen girly movie so far, and was just determined to make it through it as quick as he could.

“She’s seriously going to law school to chase after a boy?” He scoffed and you swatted at his chest.

“She got in, didn’t she?”

“I seriously doubt that would ever happen.” 

His mouth opened again to continue but with the glare you shot him it closed and you smiled, snuggling back up against him. He shifted slightly a little bit later to refill your wine glasses and then started up again.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you, this Vivian girl’s a bitch.” You giggled at that one, “and Warner? Pretentious douche bag, what does Elle even see in him?”

“He was her first love!” You protested.

“She really needs to get focussed on school if she wants to even think about passing the first term.”

“Just shut up and watch.” You laughed, pecking his cheek gently.

“Now this Emmett guy I can get behind.” You practically snorted at that one, 

“Of course you can.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” He chuckled, turning to look at you.

“Oh, cute little nerdy law loving boy? Wonder where you’ve experienced that before?” You giggled, pinching at his cheeks.

“I was not a nerdy little law boy!”

“So if I ask Calhoun you’re saying she won’t have a million embarrassing stories about it?”

“You wouldn’t dare.” He glared and you laughed again.

“I think that’s all the evidence I need Counsellor.”

He only spoke again once the bend & snap scene started playing, 

“As cheesy as this is, this part isn’t too bad.” He joked, smirking down at you and you rolled your eyes.

“Perv.” He chuckled, kissing the top of your head in response. When the end was coming up with the big courtroom scene you tilted your head up, “keep your mouth shut, let me live my pink and blonde law fantasies okay?”

“Ok Carino.” He laughed, wrapping his arm around you tighter. There were more than a few moments that you hear him sigh wearily, or let out a huff of breath, you could almost feel him rolling his eyes at the structure of the hearing. But he kept his thoughts to himself otherwise and you thanked him for it, not having to pause or miss any of the climax of the movie.

As the credits started to roll you sat up properly stretching and popping at your stiff muscles and joints, turning toward Rafael, surprised to find a small smile on his face. You tilted your head, brow quirked at him.

“That smile cause it’s finally over?”

“Not entirely.” He laughed, pulling you to him for a soft kiss, “it wasn’t that bad…”

“You liked it!” You gasped, eyes wide and bright with excitement as you bounced toward him for another kiss, “just wait til Calhoun gets a word of that.”

“Hermosa!” He called, a warning tone in his voice as you padded toward the kitchen with the empty wine glasses.

“I’m only kidding Rafi.” You smirked, “but if it happens to just come up in conversation…” you shrieked as he lunged for you, wrapping his arms around you and picking you up off the floor while one of his hands started to tickle at you. “Raf! Stop! Please!” You giggled out, legs flailing, “I’m kidding! I’m kidding.”

“You sure?” He cocked a brow, placing you back on the floor but not letting you go just yet.

“Yes.” You kissed the tip of his nose, “besides it’s not like I hangout with Rita, the only time I see her is when I’m with you and she comes to torment you as you call it. You can admit you liked it, secret’s safe with me. Promise.”

“Okay.” He smiled, meeting you for a gentle kiss, “it was much better than I thought it would be.” Smiling, you wrapped your arms around his neck, lips meeting his tenderly as if a reward for telling the truth.

*

A few weeks later you came home to a note on the fridge, telling you there was a new dress waiting for you on the bed, and to put it on and get ready for a night out. Rafael surprised you an hour later with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a delicious dinner date, but the biggest surprise was when rather than turning back toward home, he turned you towards Broadway. A grin on his face as he revealed he’d gotten tickets for the Legally Blonde Musical to round out your evening.

Though it was much to his dismay upon exiting the theatre you ran into Rita and her date. He sighed at the devilish grin on your face as you greeted the other woman and before he knew it he was left in your dust with her date as the two of you headed down the street arm in arm. The knowing cackles echoing between you that his secret was actually, no longer safe. At the very least all he could do was smile softly, knowing that the love of his life and his best friend were actually getting along, even if it was at his torture.

The Complete Taylor Swift/John Mayer Timeline aka John Mayer Is An Asshole

May 5 2008 Taylor and John meet at the Met Gala. “I was starstruck by the fact that he came up and introduced himself to me. I just respect him so much, I was rattling off quotes that he said in his blog, and he was probably like thinking that I’m a stalker. But he was amazing and sweet.”

“Mayer, 30, returned the compliment by telling the young singer that he’s enjoyed watching her career blossom. “I was like, ‘what, you know my name?'” said Taylor. “I’m such a fan of his writing and everything so it was really cool to get to meet one of my heroes.”” (link)

February 8 2009 John and Taylor are photographed talking backstage at the Grammys.

March 2009 John tweets “Waking up to this song idea that won't leave my head. 3 days straight now. That means it's good enough to finish. It's called Half of My Heart and I want to sing it with Taylor Swift. She would make a killer Stevie Nicks in contrast to my Tom Petty of a song."

May 22 2009 John performs with Taylor at the Staples Center on her Fearless tour (White Horse) (Your Body Is a Wonderland)

May 23 2009 John tweets a photo of Taylor with the caption “I couldn’t get Taylor Swift on my record so I found the world’s greatest impersonator, Laura Jacksheimer.”

June 2009 Taylor in the June issue of Elle magazine: “I freaked out when I heard, because I've been such a big fan of John for such a long time. I'm really excited about just the idea that he would even mention me in his Twitter!" (link)

November 5 2009 Half of My Heart leaks on Perez Hilton (link)

November 17 2009 John’s album Battle Studios, featuring the collaboration, is released

John gives an interview to Access Hollywood about Taylor (link)

December 8 2009 Taylor and John are photographed together at the launch of VEVO, where they are seen “chatting it up in a booth.” (link)

December 11 2009 Taylor and John perform Half of My Heart at Z100’s Jingle Ball (video)

December 29 2009 Us Weekly announces Taylor Squared have broken up (link). “It wasn't really developing into anything, and wasn't going to, so they decided they were better as friends. There was no chemistry."

“He liked her more than she liked him. He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didn't travel much to see him.”

January 6 2010 OK Magazine reports ​​“Did John Mayer break up Taylor Squared? Probably not, but John Mayer asked Taylor Swift to sing on his single “Half of My Heart” and a ‘pal’ says he has a crush on her. In a daring move, Swift rejected Mayer’s advances, but Taylor Lautner is still ‘devastated.’” (link)

Taylor and John have dinner together in Los Angeles. Star Magazine reports “Fresh off of her breakup with Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift shared an intimate dinner with serial heartbreaker John Mayer…They were spotted at Italian bistro Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on January 6, following Taylor’s win as Favorite Female Artist at the People’s Choice Awards.” (link)

“They came in together and got a private table in a corner of the restaurant. They seemed to really enjoy each other’s company.”

“The pair lingered for almost two hours, with John sipping wine. The duo headed out into the night together around 10 pm.”

“They definitely looked like a couple. John was telling stories, and she was hanging on every word!”

January 19 2010 John’s interview with Rolling Stone is published. He talks about how much he masturbates and finding “the Joshua Tee of vaginas.” (link)

January 24 2010 the two enjoy dinner in Nashville with a group of friends (link)

January 25 2010 John and Taylor get coffee in Nashville (link)

January 26 2010 Taylor attends John’s taping of a CMT Crossroads special (with Andrea) According to Lainey Gossip: “Taylor Swift attended amid speculation that she and Mayer are now dating. My sources tell me she was backstage before the show, totally crushing on him, very “smitten”, flirting, like a young girl intoxicated by attraction to an older man, too young to separate artistry from douchery.” (link)

“On Monday night, Taylor and Mayer went out for dinner with a large group. I’m told this is how she gets around her mom. Momma Swift is a wary parent and some say Taylor arranges their time together in crowds so as not to hear it from her mom later on. There are some rumours that John was seen at her place afterwards. This has not been substantiated.”

“At the performance however her affection for him was undeniable. She was cheering enthusiastically in the audience, making hand hearts at him constantly, and the buzz among industry insiders and crew is that they’re definitely dating. Some have even told me that this is why she called it off with Taylor Lautner. Because while there was no spark with Tom Cruise’s mini me, she was compelled to explore the intensity of her feelings for John.”

February 1 2010 Lainey posts “Finally...about this business with Cory Monteith – they sat together at a pre-Grammy party on Saturday after being spotted out for dinner last week so now of course she’s totally going to marry him…More likely however – it’s a conveniently cutesy coverup for the f-ckery that’s happening with John Mayer. I’m told they went out for coffee together in Nashville, she and John, the morning after a group dinner with friends when he was alleged to have been seen at her house. If she’s smart enough to stay away from that douchebag, all the offkey business is totally forgotten.” (link)

February 2 2010 HollywoodLife reports, “Taylor and John are absolutely more than ‘just friends.’ They aren’t ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’ or anything as provincial as that, but they have taken their friendship to the next level.” (link)

A second source says, “Cory is just a decoy. She isn’t really dating him. They’re friends.”

February 5 2010 In Touch reports that John told a friend that he and Taylor hooked up in January in Nashville. “According to a source, the couple met up several times, in public and private, and were first seen getting cozy in a recording studio. “She was sitting on John’s lap, her arms were around him, and she was talking in his ear,” says the source. They were acting like teenagers.””(link)

“That night, John, 32, and Taylor, 20, dined at the restaurant Cabana and were joined by friends afterward. The couple left alone and went back to The Hermitage Hotel, where they arrived in the loading dock to avoid being spotted and were escorted to John’s suite, the source claims. Both of their reps deny the story. But the source claims, “Taylor spent the night and enjoyed mid-morning room service before leaving his suite the next day.””

“Though the source says that Taylor “adores” John, it seems the womanizer is up to his old ways, involving yet another starlet in boosting his career. When asked by a friend how his night with Taylor went, John laughed, and boasted, “How do you think it went?””

The National Enquirer reports Andrea confronted John about his relationship with Taylor at the CMT taping. (link) “Andrea pulled John aside and told him point blank to back off. She said a friendship was fine, but there was no way he’d get close enough to Taylor to break her heart if she had anything to say about it."

“With a string of ex-girlfriend…along with his reputation as a partier and pot smoker, John is hardly Andrea’s idea of a dream date for her little girl. John did not help his cause with Andrea when he recently appeared shirtless on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and made shockingly candid statements about casual sex.”

“Right after John performed, Andrea pulled him aside and basically told him to keep his hands off her daughter. She’s all for music collaborations, but she couldn’t get past his baggage."

"All John could do was to offer Andrea a compliment on raising a lovely daughter. He said he understood completely, and it was an honor enough to call Taylor his friend."

February 9 2010 John tweets “What's that song that goes "It's a quarter after one, I just huffed a can of ceiling paint and I need you now?" I like that one.” (link)

Lainey reports, “I can assure you that many Nashville insiders saw them making out in town while he was there for Crossroads. Many.” (link)

February 10 2010 John’s hectic, racist Playboy interview is published (link)

March 4 2010 Taylor’s April Elle interview, conducted in December (a few weeks before she broke up with Taylor L), is published (link). She plays the MASH game with the writer and names John as one of three hot guy candidates. “Now for the tough part: Three guys you think are hot? “Like, how do you mean?" she asks, scrunching up her face. She knows how I mean. "Um, well...Taylor Lautner," she says finally, a certain nervy resolve in her voice.””

“Back to the game: Swift name-checks John Mayer and Carter Jenkins, another Valentine's Day costar, as her remaining hotties.”

March 23 2010 On break from touring, Taylor goes bowling with friends including Cory and Selena Gomez (video)

March 24 2010 Taylor has lunch with Andrea, Taylor L, and their publicists. (link)

Lainey Gossip points out John is performing in LA at the same time and says it isn't a coincidence Taylor is in town. (link)

April 19 2010 Lainey reports “My sources tell me she’s still seeing John Mayer on the low whenever they get the chance.” (link)

April 30 2010 Star magazine reports they are still on: “Friends say that Taylor Swift is still having a love affair with notorious ladies’ man John Mayer – and they fear she’s bound to get hurt! And so will her “legit” love, Glee star Cory Monteith, who has no clue that Taylor has been flirting with John for months.” (link)

“Taylor will drop anything to see him. They’ve been meeting up all over the country!”

“And all John has to do to get Swifty to come running is text her, says another source – no matter what time it is!”

“Sometimes they meet in Hollywood or Beverly Hills… Taylor doesn’t like going to his house in LA. He always has his buddie staying with him and there’s no privacy.”

“She used to be infatuated with him. When she was 17, she used to tape his pictures to her wall and stare at his face.”

“Taylor’s mom isn’t happy about Taylor’s relationship with this “too old” Mayer, and “Taylor’s friends tell her he’s too old, but she says she’s an adult and wants to see where things go. She hopes this will turn into something real. She’s trying to guard her heart, but if John dumps her, she’ll be devastated.””

June 9 2010 Taylor and John are both at the CMT Awards, and Taylor writes The Story of Us based on this event. “She says Dear John and The Story of Us are about the same person. And her lyrical code for the latter spells out "CMT AWARDS," where she and Mayer both performed in June.” (link)

"The Story of Us is about running into someone I had been in a relationship with at an awards show, and we were seated a few seats away from each other. I just wanted to say to him, 'Is this killing you? Because it's killing me.' But I didn't. Because I couldn't. Because we both had these silent shields up.”

Lainey says “Swifty has been extra extra careful about whatever undercover business she has going on with John Mayer the last few months. They are super stealth about their movements, smart not to let anyone catch them connecting, but I’m told last night there was an arrangement for after. Keep you posted on whether or not they pulled it off.” (link)

June 17 2010 John presents Taylor with an award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame, saying "You could put her in a time machine in any era and she would have a hit record. Don't confuse everybody loving one thing as hype. Sometimes that's everyone agreeing that it's fabulous." And that they were like two black swans. (video)

June 21 2010 Half of My Heart is released as a single

October 17 2010 the New York Post quotes Taylor, “There’s actually no surprise person on this record. I will be excited for you to hear that song, though.” (link)

October 18 2010 Taylor’s interview with Yahoo Music’s Chris Willman is published. She says her songs aren’t hard to interpret: “They’re all made very clear. Every single song is like a roadmap to what that relationship stood for, with little markers that maybe everyone won’t know, but there are things that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints. And every single song is like that. Everyone will know, so I don’t really have to send out emails on this one.” (link)

“But, I said, by necessity of her fame and that of her recent boyfriends, she is past the point of using proper names in the lyrics now.

"Um," she responded, "there's still names that I used. Wait till you hear those."”

Willman publishes lyrics to Dear John in the article, which is followed by many articles about the song lyrics and her relationship with John.

October 19 2010 Taylor tells People magazine, “A lot of times when people’s relationships end, they write an e-mail to that person and say everything that they wish they would have said. A lot of times they don’t push send. This was a tough one to write, and I guess putting it on the album was pushing send.” (link)

October 20 2010 Taylor tells the New York Times “I feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn’t say in real life. I couldn’t put the sentence together the way I could put the song together.” (link)

October 21 2010 PopEater reports, “Everyone knows John "loves publicity and lives for this" type of situation, a giddy friend of John's tells me.” (link)

"She can bet that right now he is sitting in his apartment thinking of some witty way to respond. Writing a response to 'Dear John' called 'Dear Taylor' would be too obvious, so expect something much bigger than that."

“And although John's friend has no idea exactly what the crooner will do, his history with the ladies should give Taylor reason to worry.”

"Sure Taylor has a right to say whatever she wants but she needs to know she is playing with fire.”

October 25 2010 Speak Now is released.

June 6 2012 John talks to Rolling Stone and says that he was “really humiliated” by Dear John.“It made me feel terrible. Because I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do.” (link)

“I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call. I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?”

When asked about the song’s line, “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?” Mayer says, “I don’t want to go into that.”

“I will say as a songwriter that I think it’s kind of cheap songwriting. I know she’s the biggest thing in the world, and I’m not trying to sink anybody’s ship, but I think it’s abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, ‘Wait till he gets a load of this!’ That’s bullshit.”

June 7 2012 The New York Post reports that on the day the article was published the two had a run-in in Los Angeles. “According to the New York Post, Swift walked into the hangout and noticed Mayer, who was there with a friend. "Taylor very visibly — in front of the entire restaurant — demanded to be moved to the other side," the eyewitness said. "The bar's usually an oasis of calm and privacy for celebrities and power players, but this was drama central." But according to a Swift source who spoke with Gossip Cop, there was no nasty confrontation and while the singer was at the bar, it's not even confirmed whether they saw each other.” (link)

Us Weekly reports “A Swift pal scoffs at Mayer’s counterpunch. “I can’t believe he is trying to play the victim!”” (link)

““John was a player and treated her like s–t,” another source tells Us. “He looked at her as a conquest.” After the Rolling Stone interview, “Taylor is going to think even less of him now!” the source adds.”

September 30 2012 Taylor’s November cover story for Glamour is published and she has the following exchange with the writer:

Glamour: And "Dear John," also about a failed relationship, still seems to be resonating strongly. Does that surprise you?

Taylor Swift: I think that song really hit home with a lot of girls who had been through toxic relationships and had found their way to the other side of it. I've never looked out while singing a song during a concert to see so many girls crying.

Glamour: You never identified who it was about, but John Mayer recently told Rolling Stone that it was him.

Taylor Swift: How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about.

Glamour: He said he felt…

Taylor Swift: No! I don't want to know, I don't want to know.

Glamour: You don't? [Mayer told Rolling Stone that he was "humiliated" by the song, and that Swift's releasing it was "a really lousy thing for her to do."]

Taylor Swift: I know it wasn't good, so I don't want to know. I put a high priority on staying happy, and I know what I can't handle.

October 22 2012 Taylor has an interview with Katie Couric. Katie brings up John “feeling humiliated” “Oh come on!” Taylor retorts. (video)

“Do you ever hear from these dudes, like ‘Yo Taylor, guess what, I didn’t really appreciate this.’ Do they ever get in touch with you?” Well some of them like to write really long emails.”

April 7 2013 John and Taylor separately perform at the ACM Awards

April 16 2013 Grazia reports “Sources claimed to Grazia that they spotted each other on the red carpet and were later "deep in conversation" at an after party. (link)

"They snuck off to a corner and were all over each other. At one point she had her hands on his knees, with him holding her waist – they were so deep in conversation."

“‘Taylor spotted John on the red carpet, but it was only at the party that they got talking,’ a source told Grazia magazine.” (link)

“It allegedly turned into an all-night reunion as Taylor invited John for breakfast at her hotel room at The Orleans.”

Taylor’s camp issues a denial: “There is no truth to this... whatsoever.”

April 22 2013 Us Weekly reports “One insider says Swift, 23, put on “a stink” about her ex-boyfriend’s performance. “She said she had to go on earlier than him,” the source tells Us of the songwriter.” (link)

“The country star got her way in the end, but a second insider says Swift “was just really bitter that night” — especially after she didn’t win anything. Adds another source: “John just being there irked her.””

June 18 2013 John releases Paper Doll, an apparent response track to Dear John (link)

July 5 2013 John performs Paper Doll on the Today Show. When asked "There's been some speculation from the press that it might be about someone. True or false?" He responds “Yeah, songwriters write songs because of people, about people. Anything someone else wrote is their reception of a song; I don’t get involved in it. It’s none of my business.” (link)

October 7 2013 Taylor and John (and Katy Perry) both spend the day at Disneyland but don’t have any run ins (link)

August 20 2014 both dine at the Chateau Marmont. HollywoodLife reports “When Taylor saw John it was as if she saw a ghost. She was horrified and, for a moment, contemplated leaving. Cooler heads prevailed and she acted as if she didn't see him but she totally knew he was there and was uncomfortable."

“Our source goes on to confirm that the two are “in no way dating, and they didn’t share any conversation at all.”” (link)

February 7 2015 hosting the Late Late Show, John jokes in his monologue “You can see me at the Grammys doing what I do best: being avoided by Taylor Swift. That won’t make the internet at all.” (video)

March 6 2015 John tells Ronan Farrow ​​“We have to be able to talk about Taylor Swift professionally.” (video)

“Artists need the person with the loudest voice to speak for them. You can go to the Met Ball. That’s great. That’s a great way to use your voice is to go ‘I’m wearing Valentino.’ Or you can use your voice to give things.”

On Paper Doll: “The song never got listened to as a song. It became a news story because of the lyrics. I’m not in the business of telling people what the song’s about. Now I can just go, ‘Look, I can say the name Taylor Swift.’ She’s an artist. I’m an artist. Everybody stop, nobody’s got cancer. We’re rich people who get to live out our dreams. Let’s just stop it. I’m a musician who’s bigger than one song or one record.” (video)

April 28 2016 both attend Gigi Hadid’s birthday party (link)

October 23 2016 both attend Drake’s 30th birthday party (link)

October 24 2016 Page Six reports, “[Taylor and Katy] were put on opposite sides of the room and didn’t even look at each other. Taylor came through the front door with Karlie Kloss and the Haim sisters while Perry entered through the back with a gang of friends, who were inappropriately dressed for the formal affair. Katy and John chatted, but Taylor avoided both of them.” (link)

December 13 2016 John tweets "Tuesday, December 13, may be the lamest day of the year, conceptually." Deletes it, and follows it up with "NOPE. No. Nuh-uh. People I am 39. I am deleting those tweets. Come right at me for doing so. Absolutely no shade." He deletes that tweet and then tweets a screenshot of the original tweet. (link)

December 6 2017 John likes tweets defending Taylor’s Time Person of the Year cover (link)

October 25 2018 during a concert John tells fans that he “was thinking about reputation” when working on his song New Light. “Not the album, but that’s still fine. That’s a fine piece of work.” (link) (video)

November 17 2019 A week after his Lover remix is released, Shawn Mendes participates in an instagram live with John, who mocks the lyrics to Lover. "[It's] insane. Everyone keeps their Christmas lights up until January. And I go, 'Can you really?' Because normally I take my Christmas lights down on December 29. We can keep the Christmas lights up 'til January. And then about January 5, we'll take the lights down. And then we'll put 'em in a box and we'll label that box 'Christmas lights.' Yeah, we'll put 'em in the attic until next December. Well, that's a crazy love, I'll tell you." (link) (video)

February 22 2021 Andy Cohen asks John "If an ex of yours comes out with a song, do you ever wonder is that about me?" John replies, "Sometimes, I hope it's about me. Sometimes, it's a really good song. I don't think it's a dirty admission. Sometimes, a song is so good, I go, 'Man, I hope that's about me.'" (link)

March 1 2021 John joins Tiktok and the Swiftie response is not great (link)

November 15 2021 a particularly aggressive Swiftie sends threatening DMs to John and he responds. They post the messages in a tiktok. (link)

November 16 2021 Life & Style magazine reports that a source said “Even though [John is] a pretty open minded guy, he disagrees with the way Taylor goes about targeting exes in her music, especially with all the online trolling and bullying that goes on these days. He acts like he doesn’t care but of course he finds it hurtful.” (link)

After Red TV’s release on Friday, November 12, “the insider noted that Mayer has “no time” for Swift and that they “aren’t friends” at the moment.”

“John is extremely wary of Taylor. He‘s convinced that she’s trying to bring him down. Whenever she’s about to drop a new song or album he becomes nervous that it could be about him. It’s a horrible feeling.”

Us Weekly reports “John is trying his best to avoid the attention he’s been getting from Taylor’s new album. He’s not going to make any public comments directly related to her songs or album.” (link)

“Mayer has “been through it all” after being bombarded with comments from Swift’s listeners in recent days, the insider tells Us. “It’s like he’s faced with the humiliation [of the split and song about the drama] all over again.” “[He] would prefer he was left out altogether,” the insider tells Us, noting that Mayer “hasn’t spoken to her in forever, so he learns about her feelings towards him through her music. What’s new to everyone else is new to him.” The Connecticut native “said what he needed to say years ago and is trying to just let bygones be bygones,” the source adds.”

December 15 2021 DeuxMoi publishes a fanfic tip that John will play guitar on Dear John (Taylor’s Version). It is shortly debunked when a fan tweets “i’m so tired of seeing that stupid screenshot about john on dj (tv) why are y’all ACTUALLY falling for it or even sharing it… este haim would fucking never” and Este likes the tweet, as well as the Haim band account.

Hi! For your wine night option one:

Monoma from mha and Key lime pie

Thank you 💕

Jackie

Hi Jackie!!! I hope you know how much I LOVE Monoma!!! So I’m very excited to do this

As per usual, minors, blank and ageless blogs do not interact

Smack

Smack

Tears roll down the cheeks of the tied up blond as he writhes and pulls against his restraints. He whimpers as the paddle leaves his ass and his dick twitches against his chest. His lips tremble as he looks up at you.

“P-please, I didn’t m-mean to! H-have mercy, my love!”

That earned him another smack as more precum escapes his slit. He bites his lip hard as you tut at him and slowly stroke his cock. “Aw, is my baby boy sorry? Are you sorry for disobeying mommy?” Monoma hurriedly nods and wriggles his hips.

“I’m s-sorry! I thought y-you had Al -ah- already had your slice!” You know that he’s sorry, but key lime pie is your favorite and you had an exhausting day. To come home and see your hero boyfriend eating your saved slice sent something off inside you. Usually you plan your more ineptness sexual adventures but this was turning you on so much. You had considered pegging him but he didn’t prepare, so you’ll save it for another night. Right now, you needed to fuck him.

You grip his chin and forcefully kiss him. “That’s not how you address me.” You straddle his waist and begin to rock your hole against the tip of his cock. You hear him whimper and buck against you, the coil inside you getting flicked and messed with making you horny. “Fuck, you want mommy to fuck you?” Monoma nods underneath you as he ruts against you.

“Yes please! I’m your good boy, I’m so sorry for eating your pie! I love you!” Your eyes soften as he says that and you gently kiss his lips. As you do that, you settle over him and sink onto his hard cock. Both of you moan from finally breaking the threshold.

“I love you too, Neito. Now be good for mommy and let me fuck you.”

Oh Anatole Brainrot* We’re Really In It Now, aka Anatole playlist annotations!

*I only have brainrot about him in terms of his relationships with Hélène and Dolokhov idc about him on his own 🤢

This playlist is infuriating because it has so many good songs on it and he does NOT deserve to have a playlist that slaps so hard :/

My Type - Saint Motel

“You’re just my type; you’ve got a pulse and you are breathing”

The lyrics are literally just I Will Have Sex With Anything That Breathes which is Anatole’s only personality trait. It just is.

Fool For Love - Lord Huron

“I’m asking her to be my bride, I know there’s another man but he ain’t gonna delay my plans”

This song is about eloping with a girl who already has a boyfriend, it is THE Comet section Anatole song. Which angers me because it’s such a good song, it doesn’t deserve to be associated with him in my head.

The Cult of Dionysus - The Orion Experience

“Wine and women and wonderful vices”

HEDONISM BABEY!!! Also the phrase “wine and women” with “he spends his money on women and wine” in Comet...makes ya think.

Everybody Loves Me - OneRepublic

“Look so good I might die, all I know is everybody loves me”

You know that quote that’s like “[Anatole] cultivated an air of superiority blah blah blah whatever” (paraphrased)? This is that in song form.

Bedroom Hymns - Florence + The Machine

“The wine and the women and the bedroom hymns”

Thottery AND the phrase “wine and women”? Anatolecore.

Talk - Hozier

“I’ll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I’m imagining you”

I think if he needs to, Anatole can sugarcoat carnal desire with pretty words. It kind of comes down to “I’m pretending to be eloquently and romantically interested in you but I really just want to have s*x with you”. He might not have that much self-control, but the bottom line is that this song is horny and so is he.

Someone New - Hozier

“I wake at the first cringe of morning and my heart’s already sinned”

All my notes say is “commitment issues thot anthem” which is fair. I think it’s physically impossible for him not to fall in love with someone new every week, which is the entire point of this song. Also “you knew who I was with every step that I ran to you” tracks, Anatole doesn’t really try to hide it.

Paradise City - Guns N’ Roses

“Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty”

I won’t lie, I’m not sure if this is what the song is actually about but that bit at least has hedonism energy. Also this came up on genius lyrics and it feels like something Anatole would do:

Hallelujah - Panic! At The Disco

“I got caught under the covers with secondhand lovers”

Ok whore. But also the vibes of knowing you’re a sinner and reveling in it feels like Anatole. It’s the complete lack of shame for me.

Why Should I Worry - Billy Joel

“Why should I worry? Why should I care?”

Has he ever actually cared about anything other than his own personal wellbeing? Jury’s still out. This song implies he has street smarts which may not be true but not every lyric is gonna work 😔✌🏻

Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel

“I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun”

The entire song is just seducing a devoutly Catholic girl, and it doesnt exactly work but I always assign this in my head to that time he tried to marry Marya B. But just in general, the reckless seduction vibes work.

Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega

“To me flirting is just like a sport”

Unironically this is such an Anatole song. Listing off all his different lovers and their attributes is absolutely something he’s done. This is just a carefree thot song which is his vibe.

Ex’s and Oh’s - Elle King

“Ex’s and oh’s they haunt me like ghosts”

This is also on the Hélène playlist but this time the ex messing things up is his wife (not that any of that was her fault). I also think the general vibes of “I’m gonna make you want me so much and then leave you” are Anatoleish

Rasputin - Boney M.

“Russia’s greatest love machine”

LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME THIS DOESN’T WORK. It’s about the seduction of upper-class Russian women come ON

I’m Born To Run - American Authors

“I’m gonna live my life like I’m gonna die young”

This is almost a more wholesome version of his careless hedonism, more skewed toward seeing the world rather than just having drunken fun but the energy is still there

Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen

“Tonight I’m gonna have myself a real good time”

It’s the “having fun is the only thing that matters” mindset. He doesn’t deserve this song 😔

Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy - Queen

I don’t have a lyric for this one, it’s just like. Yes I am a professional flirter! He is not this into commitment but i imagine he tells a new person this every week.

Oops!...I Did It Again - Britney Spears

“But to lose all my senses, that is just so typically me”

The lack of commitment and not treating relationships seriously is very Anatole, and so is the refusal to take responsibility for the heartbreak you directly caused.

How Bad Can I Be? - The Lorax

“How bad can I be? I’m just doing what comes naturally”

I KNOW I KNOW. HEAR ME OUT. This is pretty much Tolstoy’s “defense” of him verbatim. It’s the idea that he’s just so naturally like this it has never occurred to him to be any other way or to think about other people’s wellbeing. Anatole is the Onceler and Natasha is a straight girl on tumblr circa 2012.

Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars

“When I play, I never stay”

He would never be this self-aware, but otherwise it fits. The whole thing is about an inability to commit and a propensity for causing heartbreak. Also, I’ve had a grudge against this song for years and the blind rage it fills me with is reminiscent of the blind rage Anatole fills me with.

California Girls - The Beach Boys

“I’ve been all around this great big world and I’ve seen all kinds of girls”

This song is like, “What if we objectified every woman ever but made it a bop?” which is massive Anatole energy I think.

Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crüe

“I just need a new toy”

Literally the exact same justification as California Girls

It’s Raining Men - The Weather Girls

If I’m gonna add songs about objectifying women, I’m gonna add songs about objectifying men too. Equal opportunity whorery.

Parental Guidance - Judas Priest

“You say I waste my life away but I live it to the full”

This is just him to Vassily. Refusing to be controlled by your parents’ expectations and just going off to have fun is Vassily’s whole gripe with him and also the point of this song.

How To Be A Heartbreaker - MARINA

“You gotta have fun, but baby when you’re done you gotta be the first to run”

The bits about not getting close to anyone because you’re afraid of getting hurt don’t really apply but the “here’s how to make people like you and also we are for sure not staying together this is just for fun” definitely fit.

The STD Song - Top Memes

“Sinning with your naked bod is evil and atrocious”

I uh. I forgot this was on here but I was RIGHT when I added it. This is the lecture Vassily gives him after his Polish wife debacle-

Do It All The Time - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

“I’m only doing anything I want to do because I do it all the time”

He literally just does whatever he wants without thinking about the consequences. It’s just got huge entitled kid thot energy which is Anatole’s whole character. And the line “I’m taking your girl and I’m making her mine” is deeply Anatoleish.

Until The Night Turns - Lord Huron

“I got a helluva view for the end of the world, I've got a bottle of booze and a beautiful girl”

This doesn’t fit into any particular situation but I do think if the world was ending and Anatole was drunk with a pretty lady he would have this exact reaction. Also the repetition of the word sunrise (which is what the name Anatole means) is just a fun little extra bit.

Girls - The 1975

“What’s the fun in doing what you’re told?”

Rebellious kid energy! Also “she can’t be what you need if she’s 17” is everyone with morals @ him about Natasha (I know she was 19 at the time shh it’s about the energy).

Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) - The Offspring

“In his own mind he’s the dopest trip”

This man is The Worst but he really thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips huh! Literally everyone can tell he’s not the brightest bulb in the bunch EXCEPT HIM. Smh.

#anatole kuragin #war and peace #my post #w&p playlists #unfair of this playlist to slap so hard when it’s for the worst character #im gonna post the ship ones a bit later bc im a narcissist and i want more attention xo

THERE’S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

K I S S

FIRST: Elle’s first kiss was with none other than Charlie North. She had been so scared, worried that she wouldn’t be any good at it, and that he would laugh at her. But it turned out to be perfect. Kissing Charlie North changed the game for Elle, only because it gave her a confidence boost like she’d never thought possible.

LAST: Her last kiss, she doesn’t remember much at all. Lost beneath the fog of too much cheap wine, the night she spent with Mack and Noah isn’t much more than an indecipherable blur.

D R I N K

FIRST: At an event held by her parents at the Reynolds home, Elle and Beau somehow managed to get their hands on some of that weird coloured bubbly drink that every adult there seemed to have a glass of in their hand. Wanting to find out what the big deal was, the siblings, aged 10 and 12, took matters into their own hands. Hiding out under a table, they took their first taste and spent the rest of the night wondering why it was so popular.

LAST: As a way to keep herself somewhat numb, Elle often finds herself ending the day with a drink or two or seven.

H E A R T B R E A K

FIRST: The first time Elle ever experienced heartbreak was the morning she woke up and found a note from Beau saying that he’d left town. It wasn’t that he left, it was left without giving her a real goodbye. They had been best friends, each other’s ride or die, and without her other half, Elle’s world began to crumble. While she talks to him a lot, she hasn’t seen him since.

LAST: Elle’s heart breaks a little every day.

D R E A M

FIRST: When Elle was younger, she always dreamed of growing up and being a famous pop star. But, since she couldn’t really sing, and the piano lessons she took never seemed to take, she figured she needed to settle for something more achievable. So, up until the age of 17, she planned on being a lawyer. But, after her brother left and she found out that her family had no money, she let that go too.

LAST: Now all Elle dreams about is getting through each day in one piece.

hi everyone! so glad this is back!

romilly ‘mila’ van der woodsen was spotted in the fashion district adorning the jimmy choo thyra 100 jewel-embellished suede heeled sandals , with some airpod pros on . they’re most likely listening to blinding lights - acoustic by victoria voss . you may know them as romillys or as that casimere jollette lookalike . their twenty fourth birthday just passed . while living in  the upper east side , they’ve gained a bit of a reputation . they’re known to be defensive but on the other hand hard-working . wonder if they’ll be the next person to hit the headlines . ( cis woman / she/her + elle / 23 / she/her )

* character questionaire .

01. if you have three words to describe yourself , what are they ?

focused, daring, confident.

02 . what is your favourite alcoholic drink ?

it’s definitely wine. i used to only drink white but i’ve become really fond of red. my grandpa gave me a bottle of  1982 latour for my twenty first birthday and that was easily the most impressed i’ve ever been with wine. i’m not going to be basic and say dom perignon.

03 . what is your favourite season and why ?

i’ve always loved winter because of the associations of ballet and the performances of the nutcracker. it’s always help a special place in my heart and i continue to feel the same after all these years. plus, i love the parties and dressing up, feel like i can go more glam with more diamonds and sparkles than in the summer.

04 . what’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done ?

it would have to be when i drunkenly booked a vacation to dubai for myself and a few friends after a wine and movie night. i spent a ridiculous amount but the trip was fun and i can safely say my friends and i still talk about it.

* character biography .

the only grand daughter of olivier van der woodsen, romilly would grow up surrounded by luxury olivier was the founder and controlling shareholder of woodsen enterprises, a company has investments in various industries including auto parts, energy, metals, rail cars, casinos, food packaging, real estate, and home fashion. it was more than enough for him to provide for his son and daughter-in-law and now his grand-daughter. like her parents before her, romilly was born into privileged and lived comfortably in an upper east side penthouse where she was waited on by endless nannies and housekeepers. her father was involved in the family business, hoping to be handed olivier’s shares one day but the other showed no sign of willingly stepping down any time soon; her mother a self-absorbed socialite that had her own ideas of how to dominate society meant that childcare did not land with either of them.

her parents were difficult to communicate with and this lead to many nannies leaving just when romilly had started to become attached. they were the closest thing to love that she had received but as they left constantly she would grow up with a great sense of inadequacy. they weren’t in love and it seemed the both of them only valued their own sucesses, not each others. as she grew up, she would become her grandfather’s favourite and it would leave both her parents with green eyes...

romilly always liked dancing and had a special connection with music. every time she heard it she wanted to move. she was too young to understand it but she had natural musicality. when they realised that it was harder for the help to stay, they pushed her onto olivier with the hope that she’d be a distraction to pressure him into taking a step back. The man, although one of the most powerful people in New York City, did have a soft spot for his granddaughter. he was the one that saw potential in her dancing as a child. he was quick to enroll her when she was six and everything else followed.

from that moment on, she would only look forward to dance and seeing her grandfather. he was the only one who understood her passion and was the one encouraging her at every stage. however, her parents were quick to criticise performances or her facial expressions when performing. no matter how hrd she tried, it wasn’t enough to impress them. she started distancing from them after that, only talking to her grandpa and looking to him when she needed emotional sport.

being accepted into the summer intensive programme for the school of american ballet was a game changer for her. she made good friends and loved breathing dance and being surrounded by people who had the same passion. she attended the same intensive two years running and her place there just felt right. the next year, she was enrolled as a full time student at the school of american ballet and moved into halls. it was a freedom she never had before and felt like it was her very first chance to have a real sense of community and support.

romilly worked extremely hard and was definitely one who focused on her success; that had seeped its way through from her parents. she was one of the lucky ones to become an apprentice at new york city ballet and the staff definitely took note. her skill level had almost been at prodigy level and she always maintained a ‘can-do’ attitute. she wouldn’t simply bend into the background.

this year, she became one of the youngest principal dancers in the company and it was the best day of her life. she had become a successful professional ballerina. she has also assisted with some choreography as her creativity has blossomed over the years. now her parents wanted to be proud of her and they did make an effort to see her, although it felt really strained from their side. they had ulterior motives but she wasn’t sure what.

romilly was hit hardest after the announcement of the death of olivier van der woodsen, her grandpa who she had loved so much. after the loss and added pressure, her personality has somewhat shifted. she’s out a lot more in clubs now, making out with people and deciding to lessen her control over herself. besides, she’s now a billionaire in her own right but can even comprehend how much money she actually has. she is more defensive and snaps at her co-workers a lot more. she’s secretive and does keep most things to herself. she’s embarrassed that she’s involved in family disputes over money that she never asked for and now worried that stories are leaking on the internet about her and have the ability to tarnish her image in the ballet world. she feels like if she doesn’t fix it soon, she’ll be on her way out of the company. still, she doesn’t help herself and continues to party and drink a lot more than she should do which leads to easily avoidable drunken stumbles that hurt her...
