EPISODE👏 REVIEW👏 hsmtmts season 2 episode 10: get ready for some enthusiastic writing and a little too much looking into details

first off seb doing the intro made my heart happy i love him

ok i know everyone has been saying it but there is no way in hell they’re winning the menkies. unless the writers just go with the main character favoritism route, there’s just no way. however for the sake of comedy, watching ashlyn give us everything in the transformation scene and ricky being an absolute disaster is SO funny to me. like shout out to joshua because that scene made me laugh so hard. also a trio i need more of is kourt, red and ej. i just feel like they would be dramatic gossipy bitches and i love that for them.

normally i think ms. jenn’s reactions are over the top but after seeing the shit show that just occurred 2 mins before... i think her reaction is very valid because oh god.

continuing with the theme of friendship dynamics we haven’t seen a lot of but we absolutely need more of, ashlyn and ricky!! that scene was so sweet and wholesome. i’m so so so glad the writers didn’t fall into the trap of making characters take sides after a break up. i just feel like it’s been done a million times before. but seeing ashlyn being so genuine when checking up in ricky made me so happy. the caswells remain being the superior characters (including gina obvs)

ms. jenn and mr. mazzarra are cute don’t get me wrong but they should’ve spent more time developing that relationship instead giving ms. jenn like 3 random love interests and that’s all i’ll say on that.

i love imagining what characters are saying when they’re just ad libbing. like what could ej, gina, ricky and red be talking about before carlos shows up to start the scene?? my guess is they’re all gushing about how amazing ash is and no i don’t take criticisms on that.

alright i’ll say it. the seblos drama is weak at best. they didn’t spend enough time developing it and kind of pushed it to the background so when it was one of the main focuses of the episode it was kind of like ok?? HOWEVER i did love the resolution to it and the deeper look into their individual characters. (i’ll talk more about this later)

carlos calling ms. jenn mother and everyone immediately knowing who he was talking about sent me omfg. but also who the fuck let these high schoolers try to figure out this transformation scene by themselves?? they collectively have 2 brain cells and they just bounce around between the 9 of them depending on the scene. but playful sleepover competition!! also gina nudging ej when he goes a little too ej 1.0 was everything.

i hate lily and i love sassy red. that’s all.

(im going to talk about the boys/girls sleepovers like they’re each one continuous scene respectively because it’s way easier than switching back and forth)

fun new friendship dynamics!! the boys!! sebbie and the girls! iconic. i know that the show is meant to be in a mockumentary style so we only see parts of the characters lives but i would give my left arm to see the boys getting closer and becoming friends. this is also the first scene where i really noticed ricky’s shirt. ricky is queer disney are just cowards. i’m not a big ricky/ ej shipper but the pretty boy had me feeling some type of way. carlos being worried about seb and their relationship and then red being like well this is why. bc he’s got a spy on the inside was peak friendship. but seriously disney?? just say gay. it’s not a bad word. now imma freak out about PORTWELL OMFG I WAS ALREADY FREAKING OUT DURING THIS SCENE SO YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW WELL I WAS DOING LATER ON. but ej just being like im not ready to put myself out there because of nini i don’t wanna get rejected... again. my heart went out to him. you can really see how much he’s grown as a person. but sure ej y’all are “buddies” also him saying the one thing i’m proud of from my time with nini was letting her go and ricky’s reaction to that hurt me to my core.

alright let’s talk about the girls and seb. first off i love that they’re actually working and the boys are doing fuck all LOL. seb actually talking about how he feels?? good for him. i hate that he thinks that carlos is only with him because there’s limited options but at least he’s talking about it. a moment of silence for ash’s scissor bucket (i won’t make a gay joke. i won’t make a gay joke. i won’t-) anyways... i really thought that maybe ash would know about portwell but it’s fucking EVERYONE. like y’all are that perceptive about other peoples relationships but not your own?? that’s why all y’all have relationship drama. gina not wanting to put herself out there because she’s afraid of getting hurt?? ouch. gina thinking ej is just being nice?? ouch but also gina, sis?? what. also nini reacting that way to the chocolates is so out of pocket. like 1) y’all aren’t dating anymore so what’s got you so pressed? 2) gina made it clear that they weren’t actually from ricky 3) nini you know they had some sort of chemistry before you and ricky got back together so this really shouldn’t be that surprising.

anyways the scene with ricky and carlos broke me. the decision for ricky to not show nini the song was so mature. despite wanting to get her back, he KNOWS that that would only drag her back and that’s not fair to her and he knows it. but his awareness of seblos’s relationship and wanting to help carlos work things out with seb was so wholesome and so sweet and is kind of a big moment of character development for him this season. like he was generally very selfish this season (again i’m a ricky apologist til the day i die but he was so selfish) and seeing him take the focus away from his problems to help carlos out was so sweet. also i need more ricky/carlos friendship moments.

kourt talking about howie learning her love language?? bitch you mean espionage?? i mean me too but that’s so fucking funny

ALRIGHT THIS IS THE PARAGRAPH WHERE I SCREAM ABOUT PORTWELL!!! i am so so so so happy right now about this. the fact that ej asked about risotto but for real was so satisfying and was blatantly like him saying i know we faked being in a relationship but what about it not being fake and omfg that’s so amazing. also gina being skeptical and asking if ash put him up to it and him saying not that i know of?? THE PARALLELS?? also gina this whole season has been talking about signs and finding reasons to stay, finding signs to know if someone is right for her and you can literally see the moment she realizes she said the same thing about the duke sweatshirt to jack. SHE KNOWS THIS IS HER SIGN and that’s so special to me. also ej’s nervous laugh after she says yes?? omfg. let’s look at ej’s character. historically he’s confident, cocky and generally puts on this facade of having his shit together but gina makes him nervous (in a good way). he doesn’t feel like he has to pretend to be confident around her. he’s showing her that he’s just as nervous as she is about this and that is just *chefs kiss* honestly not to be an andi mack stan but ej’s little nervous chuckle and ok after she says yes sounds like he’s letting out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding which seriously parallels tj after the tyrus confession. i’m just saying. ALSO GINA’S LITTLE EXCITED WALK BACK TO THE GROUP AHHHHHH

the seblos song?? i have no notes. it was incredible. frankie killed that shit. it was such a good song. so sweet. so wholesome. also ricky and carlos’s hug was so fucking meaningful to both of them and you can tell. ricky was absolutely beaming because he helped the two of them and it feels like a little bit of season 1 ricky shining through.

WHO THE FUCK LET A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOLERS RIG A KID IN THE AIR COMPLETELY UNSUPERVISED?? of course ricky fucking fell. that group shares 2 brain cells. obviously some dumb shit was going to happen

Mismatch- Part 2

Bio Dad Bruce Wayne Month 2020

Point? Plot? never heard of it! have some fluff instead!

First > Next

----

First class was called for boarding, leaving the twins behind to wait for economy boarding. They could afford first class, but didn’t want to make a scene with the rest of the class. They are distracted from the window when Lila joins the first class line. When she reaches the desk the twins can’t hear her talking but can see her crocodile tears as she likely spins a tale of woe. There is a sense of satisfaction between them as after some back and forth Lila is sent away in a huff. She goes back to the class and starts complaining, causing them to miss the call for domestic boarding.

“Let’s go,” Marion shrugs his backpack on and they went to board before the rest of the class. He wasn't about to let Lila somehow steal their seats.

As they board the plane they walk past their friends in first class, some seats around them still having people late to board. With a wave they continue on reaching their seats and storing their backpacks under the seats.

“Marion, make sure your devices are in flight mode,” Marinette commands, as she pulls out her tablet.

“Sure thing,” Marion pulls out his laptop, making sure both that and his phone were on flight mode. Marinette double checking.

“It’s just not fair,” They hear Lila whine as she walks past them to her seat.

“I know girl, I know,” Alya is following, patting her back.

Marinette ignores them and pulls out the safety manual, studying the two pages with the same intensity she does as Ladybug. Marion turned to the built in seat screen and browsed through the movies. Marinette was likely the only one on the plane who paid attention during the safety demonstration. When the plane started moving Marinette grabbed onto Marion's hand. It was fine until the plane started to speed up, the grip getting tighter. When the plane lifted off Marion's hand was almost crushed with no magic ladybugs to save it.

“You know for a bug-”

“Nope, na-ah, not now,” Marinette grits through her teeth. Marion sighs and resigns to his hand being crushed.

Fine they had been in a bubble hundreds of meters above Paris looking straight down, but apparently that was nothing compared to a plane. When the seatbelt sign turned on Marion could swear in less than a minute Chloe magically appeared.

“Come on, there's spare seats near us, the people were a no show,” Chloe said, hands on hips.

“I don’t know Chloe, is that even allowed?” Marion asks, trying to pry his hand free.

“I’ll be fine,” Chloe waves him off, not answering the question. She looks at Marinette. “I’ll start jumping,”

“Let’s go!” She releases Marion’s hand and grabs her backpack. Marion shakes out his hand to get the blood flow back, then inspects the marked skin. He follows after them moving his fingers cautiously.

“Marion, your bag,” Chloe sighed, sending him running back to get it.

When Marion caught up they were already seated. Marinette, Kagami and Chloe were in a row of three by the window, while Adrien sat at the row in front. Marion climbed awkwardly over the person sitting at the aisle to reach the spare seat.

Adrien says a quick hello, not looking away from the window.

“It’s normal to be nervous on your first flight,” Kagami assures Marinette, not knowing wasn't her first flight. “Just breath, where would you prefer to sit?”

“Maybe somewhere out of reach of my hand,” Chloe speaks up, cradling her hand.

“It’s ok Marinette, I don’t really like planes either,” Adrien confesses, giving a weak smile over the seat.

“Well there we go you two should sit together,” Chloe dictates, “Come on Marion, up you get, you too Marinette,”

Chloe herds them out of their seats. Marion sheepishly apologises to the aisle person as they climb over them again. Marion sits at the Aisle now with Chloe at the window and Kagami in the middle. Marion peaks over the seats to see the two blushing messes. Marinette holding Adrien's hand, surely for no other reason than fear. It was effective either way as both seemed completely distracted by each other.

“Nice move,” Marion whispers to Chloe as he sits back down.

“I know, and as such I get to choose the movie,” Looking at the disposable headphones with disdain.

“We have our own screens,” Kagami points out.

“Then we’ll just have to start at the same time,” Chloe huffs, plugging the headphones in.

After a painful twenty minutes Chloe eventually settles on some romantic comedy Kagami and Marion had never seen which was ‘ridiculous’ and ‘unacceptable’.

“On my count, go,” Chloe presses play followed by Marion.

“That's not a count,” Kagami argues, the movie not playing.

“Of course it is,”

“You didn’t count,”

“That’s true,” Marion's screen lagging slightly behind Chloe.

“Fine,” Chloe rewinds back to the start, “One, two-”

“Wait I’m not ready!” Marion exclaims, struggling to rewind his. “Ok, now,”

“One, two, three” Chloe presses play, Kagami having pressed it a second before.

“Why?” Chloe hisses, as the screens play out of sync.

“You didn’t specify on or after three,” Kagami explains.

“After three!”

“How was I supposed to know?”

“Ugh, fine let's do it again, One, two-”

“Maybe we should do, ready, set go,” Marion interrupts, a grin on his face.

“No!” Chloe screeches.

“I think I should count,” Kagami interjects, straight faced. Marion isn't sure if she's serious or helping him mess with Chloe or not.

“No! I’m doing it and I’ll be counting,” Chloe seethes.

“Ok, ok,” Marion rewinds his screen,

“One, two-”

“So on or after three?”

“Ahhhhhh!”

After getting bored(being scared for his life) Marion finally lets them start the movie. That doesn't mean he’s done messing with Chloe, as he decides the comedy isn't comedic enough and has to make jokes throughout. Has to it is not his choice, the black cat beckons.

“Why would she not tell him that in the first place,” Kagami inquires.

“I don’t know, she just didn’t,” Chloe grumbles, keeping her eyes glued to the screen.

“It would have avoided a lot of problems,” Kagami decides.

“Well if you wanted needlessly complicated romance we’ve got front seats to the best one this century,” Marion smiles, adding, “And I’m not talking about the movie,”

At that they all stand to peek over seats at the two love birds leaning against each other asleep. Chloe snaps a photo leaning right over them to get the best angle. They all photobomb the background.

“We need to make a collage of all the times this has happened over the years,” Chloe sighs, showing them the photo.

“The piece of resistance will be them in their wedding outfits, sleeping after the reception,” Marion looks down at his phone to see Chloe had somehow sent him the picture, despite him looking at her phone the whole time, “Witchcraft,”

“They would, wouldn't they?” Chloe shakes her head.

“If they ever start dating,” Kagami mutters, also looking down to see Chloe had sent her the picture as well.

“Kags, the only ones that don’t know their dating is them,” Marion assures.

“Shush, this is the good part,” Chloe waves her hand at them, staring at the screen.

“It has a good part?” Marion asks, having to dodge the purse thrown at him.

They were halfway through the movie when Madame Bustier approached them, followed by Lila.

“Marion, what are you and Marinette doing up here?” She demands.

“The seats were spare so I told them too,” Chloe stops Marion before he can apologise.

“That doesn't mean you’re allowed to take them, you should have offered them to another student like Lila,” Madame Bustier reprimands, gesturing to Lila.

“If they can’t be here then neither can she,” Kagami grabs Lila’s wrist before she can shake Marinette awake.

“B-but my tinnitus!” Liela cries, Marion has to grab Kagami's other hand before she can place it over Lila’s mouth.

“Won’t be affected by where on the plane you sit,” Chloe glares.

“What do you know?” Lila sniffs, trying to shake Kagami's grip.

“Surprisingly, I actually researched it, unlike you,” Chloe spits out.

“How dare-”

“Excuse me,” A flight attendant approaches them, “is everything ok here?”

“No,” Liela turns on her crocodile tears pointing at the twins with her free hand. “These two are meant to be in economy, and I was told there were no spare seats in first class, they must of stolen someones seat!”

“Ridiculous,” Chloe huffs.

“Sir could I please see your ticket?” The flight attendant asks Marion. Marion freezes and stutters to explain, Lila looking smug.

“Right here,” Chloe fishes two boarding passes out of her purse and hands them over. The flight attendant inspects them, Marion giving them his passport before they ask.

“My apologies,” They tell Marion, handing back the passport and boarding pass, turning to Lila. “Miss these are their seats, I have to ask you to return to yours,”

“What!” Lila screeches.

“Miss I have to ask you to please be quiet, there are passengers sleeping,” The flight attendant is sterner now. Madame Bustier guides a complaining Liela away.

“Sorry for the confusion,” The flight attendant tells them.

“It’s fine,” Chloe has a vindictive smile on her face as she watches Lila storm off. When she turns around she sees Marion is smirking. “What?”

“You just happened to have two extra boarding passes, huh?”

“Of course, I wanted to have a row to myself, but you two looked so pouty when I left that I decided to give them to you,”

“Right, and they just happen to have our names on them?” Marion prodded, holding them out as proof.

“Uh, yeah? I couldn’t check in three times, I had to use your name,” Chloe snatches the boarding passes away.

“How did you even get our information to do that?” Marion asks, now genuinely confused.

“Anything is possible with money,”

“Foreboding… but true,” Marion considers, “Hey Chlo?”

“What?”

“Thanks,” Marion gives her the biggest smile possible.

“Whatever, you can thank me by letting me choose the next movie as well,” Chloe turns back to the screen.

“I’m not that grateful,” He has to doge her purse again.

Food comes part way through their second movie, that they let Chloe choose anyway. They gently shake Marinette and Adrien awake. Adrien groans at the thought of more food, but is too polite to turn it away.

“What is this slop?” Chloe asks, poking her fork at it like it might attack her.

“It's worse in economy,” Marion points out, eating his with only a small grimace.

“How is that meant to make me feel better?” Chloe sneeres.

“Because Lila and Sabrina are eating it now,” Marion smirks evilly, Chloe mirroring him.

“I’m still not eating it,” Chloe turns her nose up.

“You can have this,” Kagami hands over a container of assorted sushi. “I brought it, but it’s nothing compared to the sushi in Japan,”

“Thanks,” Chloe actually smiles, but would never admit to the slight blush dusting her cheeks. “Here Mari you can have this,” Chloe passes him the tray.

“Thanks Chlo, but I don’t like it either,” Marion pushes it back. Frustrating Kagami with all the reaching over her.

“At least take the cheese, I know you like that,” Chloe drops it on his tray.

“Wha- oh yeah, thanks,” Marion remembers Plagg, so he can't hand it back(not at all because he’s afraid of what Kagami will do if someone reaches across her again).

“You can have mine as well,” Kagami places the matching cheese neatly on top of Chloe’s.

“Do you want mine too?” Adrien asks reaching over the seat to hand it to him. “I don’t really like cheese,”

“Oh… thank you,” Marion says awkwardly, taking it.

“Here you can have mine as well,” Marinette reaches out, grinning over the seat. Marion glares at her, taking the cheese. She sticks out her tongue and sits back down.

When no one is looking Marion sneaks the cheese into his bag. He tries not to yelp as a few seconds later Plagg bites him. Marion excuses himself to the bathroom, taking his satchel.

“Plagg, what gives?” Marion asks, opening up his bag.

“What gives? you expect me to eat that trash? While Kaalki and Tikki eat a mountain of chocolate, are you so crule?” Plagg sticks his ‘nose’ up.

“It’s cheese,” Marion argues, picking up a piece.

“That is an insult to all of cheese,” Plagg points at the offending block.

“Too bad, it’s because of you everyone thinks I’m obsessed with cheese, so take some responsibility,”

“Never!”

“If you don’t eat it, I’m going to throw it out, so what's worse? Bad cheese, or wasted cheese?” Marion asks.

“Hmmmm…. Uhhhhhhh……. Ahhhhhh,” The Kwami looks like he’s in actual pain having to decide this, “.......... Fine!”

He stuffs the block into his mouth.

“Plagg you have to unwrap it first,” Plagg spends the rest of dinner pouting, as Tikki happily chomps on her Toblerone blocks with Kaalki.

After eating Marinette and Adrien decide to also try watching a movie together. They somehow take even longer to get it set up. Considering they can hardly use a full sentence around each other. Kagami eventually gets frustrated enough that she leans over and presses play for them. Marion, Chloe and Kagami finish watching their movie and decide to sleep the rest of the flight away. Chloe brings out her neck pillow and sleeping mask, seat reclined as far as it can go. Marion takes off the horse miraculous placing it carefully in the glasses case and then in his satchel. When he sits back up Chloe and Kagami are leaning against each other, apparently soundly asleep. Marion pretends he doesn't see both peeking at each other.

“Ah, to be the fifth wheel is a mighty achievement,” Marion whispers to himself, trying to disappear into his neck pillow.

Marion blearily wakes up to Kagami, Chloe and Adrien whispering. Marinette had fallen asleep again and was leaning against a blushing Adrien’s shoulder. He pretends he doesn't see this, reaching into his bag to grab the horse miraculous. He checks the flight path to see they only have two hours to go. Stretching as much as possible he chats with the others until Marinette wakes up over an hour later. They start talking about what they’ll do in Gotham, their excitement rising.

“There's an Akuma attack,” Chloe says looking down at her phone.

“What? how do you know?” Marinette shares a glance with Marion.

“Just got an alert,” Chloe gestures to her phone.

“It’s not in flight mode!” Marinette hisses.

“Of course not I-”

“Chloe put it in flight mode right now,” Marinette reprimands, as she climbs out of her seat with her bag, “I’m going to the bathroom,”

“... I’d better go check on her,” Marion declares, as Chloe turns her phone to flight mode, muttering that nothing happened.

He knocks on the bathroom door Marinette is in and is pulled in by Ladybug.

“Lets go, come on,” She says, bouncing in place.

“Plagg, Kaalki, Combine!” With a flash of light Marion is transformed, and with another they are off to Paris.

They have to be back in their seats for the descent that should be starting any minute now so they transport to the Akuma. Hoping they just run into Monsieur Rat. Instead they find a new Akuma, frustrating now having to find the akumatized object. They seemed to be a plant based, judging by the forest growing out of the sidewalk. Marion drops his transformation with the horse Miraculous, leaving regular Chat Noir. He passes a sugar cube to Kaalki telling the Kwami to stay put.

Ladybug charges in without him, trying to wrap her yo-yo around the Akumas tree like body. The Akuma breaks off the branches to get free, growing them back immediately. It sends out vines like whips, that the two dodge getting forced back. As Marion is forced back he trips over some moving roots getting sent sprawling back.

"Chat Noir," He hears a scared whisper to the side. Looking he sees a hand sticking out from under the roots and an eye peeking out from underneath.

"Don't worry," He gently takes the civilians hand, small enough to be a Childs, "me and Ladybug will save you,"

"Don't you mean Ladybug and I?"

"Never mind you can stay here," Chat teases, sticking his tongue out making the kid giggle.

He feels something wind around his leg. Looking down to see roots start to encircle it.

"Uh, Ladybug!" He tries to pull his legs free. Ladybug drops down next to him, helping him get free. He gives the kids hand one last squeeze before jumping to a roof with Ladybug.

"The civilians are trapped under the roots," Chat Noir reports.

"Inside as well," Marion looks out to see buildings cocooned in roots. "I freed some civilians, the Akuma went after them, you need to find it,"

Chat Noir nodded extending his baton to survey the surrounding area. He spots the Akuma from above, using his enhanced vision to study it.

"Chat!"

He looks down to see roots winding up his baton. He jumps off the top and is caught by Ladybug, as she swings them away. Marion looks back at his Baton to see roots circled around it like a tall tree without branches.

"Won't be using that for awhile," He muses, "Piggy back ride?"

"Yeah right," Ladybug snorts, "Wheres the Akuma?"

"That way," He points, "I noticed a poster hanging from one of the trees branches, it must be the akumatised object,"

"Alright lets go!" Ladybug drops down on a roof where the Akuma can't see them.

“Just stay calm, rushing isn’t going to help us here,” Chat Noir grabs her wrist pulling her back.

“You’re right Chat,” Ladybug takes a breath, “But that doesn't mean we can’t get a helping hand, lucky charm!”

"A ribbon? I think weed killer would have been more useful,"

"Very funny, I need you to tie this around the branch with the poster," Ladybug hands it to him.

"Got it,"

Marion jumps off the roof onto the trees branches. It screeches trying to grab him. Chat Noir summons his cataclysm destroying the branches that reach for him. While the tree is distracted severing the decaying branches Chat drops down to the branch with the poster, tying it around. The tree severs the branch as well, dropping it right into Ladybugs waiting arms. The trees branches wrap around Chat, giving Ladybug time to destroy the poster and purify the Akuma. Chat Noir is freed by the ladybugs, placing him back on the ground and returning his staff.

"Pound it,"

Kaalki comes out of hiding, Marion transforms before the press can delay them. He opens a portal right back into the stall. Detransforming and rushing back to their seats.

“Are you ok?” Kagami asked, as they buckle their seat belts.

“I will be once I get off this plane,” Marinette answers, Adrien offers his hand.

When they land they get to be the first ones off. They wait for the class. Madame Bustier does a headcount before they go through border security as a class, before moving on to pick up their bags. Alix and Kim ram their trolleys together as they wait for their bags to arrive. Madame Busier looked tired she didn't even try to stop them.

Chloe had to have her own trolley for her five bags, the rest managing to carry a single bag. The class headed for security separately. Marinette and Marion were stopped for a bag search because of a ‘concerned anonymous tip’ that they were bringing food in. No one else saw them get taken aside. The twins were thankful they left their vigilante costumes at home to be picked up later.

“And what's this?” The security guard asks, holding the polka dotted Miracle box.

“A jewellery box,” Marinette opens it up showing the miraculous. “Its a birthday present for our aunt who lives here,”

The guard nodded, not finding anything wrong. They sent them on their way, the rest of the class had made it through already. The twins walked outside, trying to spot their classmates or the bus.

‘Where are you?’ He texted Chloe

‘On the bus, you said you had another ride?’

‘No?!’

Nancy Drew 2x5

It’s official everybody: love conquers all

Okay WOW I cannot believe this was the original Nancy Drew season finale and that I had to wait an additional eleven months to see this episode I am suing the coronavirus for emotional distress. Because let me tell you this was one of the best season finales I have seen in a WHILE. And once again the writers have swaddled me in a safety blank and assuaged all of my concerns. I was a little worried when they made Odette a wlw because then that meant a lesbian was hunting down the good guys and would have to be killed, but MORE THE FOOL WAS I. I should have learned by now not to doubt the Nancy Drew writers.

Every single plot thread was wrapped up and a whole host of new ones were set up and I cannot wait to dive into all of them.

First off I would like to say that everything about the scenes with the Aglaeca coming to kill them was perfection. The five-way phone call, the deathbed confessions, the soft French singing and ominous chain rattling. And then when she APPEARED on the hood of the car like Dead Lucy appeared to Nancy on top of her car to tell her to summon the Aglaeca aaaah parallels and Nick and George held each other. “oh where is she, where is she” SHE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU! The fire leaping out at Bess, the meat hook cutting Ace, Nancy falling from the bluffs. And then the crew reconnects back at the Claw thinking all is well but OH NO WHAT’S THIS ANOTHER PORTENT.

Hey how is it the entire gang seems to have forgotten that they willingly volunteered for this whole Aglaeca mess. Like I get it, your lives are on the line, you’re scared, but Nancy was all “no I cannot let you guys summon the Aglaeca with me it’s far too dangerous absolutely not” and they were all “psh danger fuck danger we have the power of friendship” and went right on ahead. And now that they have to face actual consequences they’re all “Nancy I cannot believe you put a gun to our heads and forced us into this how dare you” like GUYS. But yeah that scene caused me pain, with them all yelling at each other. I do think it’s interesting that proverbial lines in the sand have been drawn. Generally speaking whenever there are massive disagreements I’ll be watching to see if it stays as George and Nick v Bess and Ace with Nancy as the sort of swing vote.

Also because I am a Drewson shipper until I die it was satisfying to see that Nick, despite being in love with George, still has unresolved feelings about what went down with him and Nancy. We love unresolved feelings, and once Nancy learns how to communicate and be more open they will find their way back to each other and be even more in love.

The writers continue their never ending tally of taking seemingly unimportant moments from past episodes and making them SO IMPORTANT. NANCY HAVING THE PORTENT IN RYAN’S CAR??? *SCREEEEAAAAAAMS* And then speaking of the car. Oh my god you guys. Ryan and Carson the dad duo was peak comedy. I was legit dying. On the topic of parental figures

Hannah Gruen: Nancy no!

Nancy Drew: Nancy yes!

BABE. SHE LITERALLY TOLD YOU NOT TO OPEN THE DEATH BOXES AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN WAIT LIKE SIX HOURS BEFORE BLATANTLY DISOBEYING.

I know some people who watched the episode are probably going to be like “are you kidding me they beat the angry sea spirit with the power of love? Ugh pathetic” but no actually you’re wrong and it was BEAUTIFUL. Not just the concept but the execution. The lights going out one by one, the Aglaeca popping up and screaming, throwing them across the room one at a time, the words having to come from the heart, Nick speaking French he can speak French to me all day long, the Aglaeca melting and Odette rising once more. BRUH.

And then of course the blood bucket curse came to fruition and George fucking died and I was losing my mind only for Nancy to fucking revive her because THAT won't have consequences. And George talking about her sisters was so sweet I thought it might give me a cavity, and her with them in the morning. Quick question though. We know Victoria is around because she gave them the inhuman sea spirit banishing ritual like five days ago, soooo where is she now? Like George is about to die and she hardly gives her mom a spare thought aside from making sure Jessie will be able to take care of their sisters. Nancy had a fucking beautiful moment of reconciliation with Carson, couldn’t George have at least exchanged some kind words with her own mother?

Moving ahead we have sooo many plot lines to talk about I can’t wait.

The Bobbsey twins are coming back. Don’t know how I feel about that yet.

We have Ace with the sibling in Witsec. Now I know like the entire fandom wants Ace to be a Hardy brother, but here’s the thing. Ace has apparently never met this person and his dad doesn’t have any of that tortured ‘I’m-missing-my-child’ vibe going on, so I’m thinking maybe it’s Ace’s half-sibling. Like he’s half a Hardy. Cause also why would just the one kid go into Witsec and not the whole family? Maybe his mom had a baby as a teenager and gave them up for adoption, maybe his dad had an affair and didn’t realize it ended up as a pregnancy. Who’s to say???

We have Nick and Ryan (and possibly Nancy) taking down the Hudson empire. Nick is going to commit to honoring Tiffany’s dying wish and with Ryan as his man on the inside, he can hopefully actually do it. Nancy will probably also have a role in this storyline, because as evidenced by Ryan taking the flash drive she’s going to be the driving force behind Ryan listening to his conscience. And then of course we will have Nancy’s whole my-DNA-is-evil struggle, and her wanting to prove she’s not a bad person. Separate from the Hudsons (potentially) Nancy will also be working for her father this season as he regrows his law practice, and it will be so nice to see them finally have a good relationship again.

We have The Possession of George 2: Electric Boogaloo. This possession, if that’s even what it is, is very clearly different from the last one with Tiffany. George is still in control, and she’s not switching back and forth between herself and Tiffany like last time, she just has some new personality traits or whatever. The next episode summary includes Nick being concerned about George’s behavior, so I’m guessing some of the changes will be pretty obvious. But it probably isn’t something that’ll be fixed right away it’ll take a while. And I also don’t think Odette possessed her on purpose? Like she had given up the Aglaeca and seemed ready to move on, and then we see her in the mirror. Maybe there’s something she has to do regarding her girlfriend, like she has to find the Englishwoman’s ghost? Because the public story is Odette got married on the ship and died, what if her lady love thinks Odette forsook her or something and Odette wants to make it right? Last but not least I have said it before I’m saying it again I want George to develop psychic powers like her mother. Come on writers she’s not even cousins with Bess at least give me this.

Bess is going to try and stop stealing and some other stuff I’m sure and maybe learn about Marvin family skeletons and hopefully start dating Amaya??? Pleeeease???

We still have no idea what Det. Tamura’s purpose here is and I for one continue to want McGinnis back.

And then of course we have like fifty million horrors that Nancy just unwittingly unleashed on the previously sleepy town of Horseshoe Bay, and I absolutely cannot wait to see where that goes.

Hmm yeah that seems just about everything, except for I feel like there’s something I’m missing, something I'm forgetting, something important that’s slipped my mind. Oh, that’s right.

WRITERS.

WHERE THE FUCK IS LUCY SABLE.

Dancing in the Rain

I know it's a cliche, I know it's the thing of romantic comedies everywhere, but this really happened. My girlfriend Rose and I always like to walk through the park at night after dinner. The only reason tonight was different, was the rain in the forecast. It's our ritual, it's our way of unwinding after a long day, it's our time to be alone, so we decided to go anyway.

When we left for our walk, it was only sprinkling, just a misting really. Other than that it was a beautiful moonlit night, not too hot, and the light rain cooled us off. Rose wore a nice white and gray dress, I wore a button-up white business shirt. Little did we know that it was going to downpour and our clothes would become close to transparent.

We planned on getting through our walk before the rain started, little did we know that it was going to pour seconds after we got to the park. As we got to the entrance to the park, the skies opened up and coated our bodies in cool rain. We looked at each other and laughed, they was too late to turn back now we were already soaked. Instead, we continued our walk enjoying the feeling of the cool rain on our skin.

Rose looked so beautiful, the rain dripping off her face, her hair like she just got out of the shower, and her now soaked dress clung to her body, revealing everything. She looked at me and smiled, as she noticed my shirt was transparent as well, she could see my entire chest, still covered but exposed.

We walked a little off of the path and decided to have a little fun in the rain, we danced together. Slowly swaying to the imaginary music in our heads, truly in sync with each other. We kissed and I gave her the old dip at the end of a romantic dance. With her bent over backwards and my arm supporting her, my other hand moved up her belly to her chest. She looked at me as my hand dipped inside of her dress and massaged her breast and pinched her nipple.

She smiled at me, "what do you think you are doing?"

I said, "look around, the rain has scared everybody inside, we are completely alone in this park, nobody would know."

She came back up and kissed me, "ok, just this once, but the clothes stay on...take me like this!"

I did not argue as my hand went back inside of her dress, I pinched and played with her nipples until they stuck straight through the thin wet fabric. Then I brought my lips to where the fabric covered her nipples and sucked through the fabric. She softly let out a moan, and I knew this was going to be a night to remember.

The rain continued to pour down our faces as we kissed passionately, exploring the inside of each other's mouth with our tongues. Her hands stroked my chest through the fabric of my shirt and my hands pulled at her butt to pull her body close to mine. We made out for a while as our hands roamed over each other.

My hands bunched up her dress as more of her legs became visible. Her fingers were at my zipper and lowered it, so her hands could come in to the warmth inside my pants. As I just about rose her dress above her waist, she stopped me, "remember, clothes stay on mister!"

I stopped and moved my hands to under the fabric of her dress, dropping the dress around my arms. I could still get at everything, and if there was someone watching, they couldn't see anything inappropriate. She had already fished my erection out of my pants and my head was starting to get wet from the downpour. Her finger rubbed the little hole at the peak and brought shivers down my back.

My hands had her panties pushed down and my hands were grabbing at her bare backside. Reaching around to play with her opening. I could not believe that we were doing this in public view. Well, if anyone was outside they couldn't have seen what I was doing. On the other hand, she had me out if my zipper and exposed.

I leaned over and whispered in her ear, "you are so wet!" Which brought a laugh out of both of us considering the rain has already soaked us both. Of course she was wet!

But she knew what I meant, my hand moved up and down her opening, which brought a sigh and a slight moan from her lips. Her hand was jerking on my pole, back and forth. She kissed me passionately and moved to my neck, the. To my ear. She kissed my earlobe and then whispered, "just take me already, fill me with this!" Aa she grabbed tightly to my hardening rod.

I spun her around and lifted her dress so I could get to her bare backside. I moved my erection between her cheeks, up and down against her lips until I was coated in her juices. I gripped her by the waist, holding her dress up to not get in the way and I slid inside of her. She moaned as her back arched. I pushed into her again and again, as her muscles contracted to keep me in for a moment, then releasing me to exit, then back in again.

We repeated this until we were both extremely turned on. The rain washed over us as we continued our intimate dance. I held her dress up and I brought my hand up to caress her breasts, I opened up the front of her dress, revealing to the whole empty park her excited nipples. I pinched them between my fingers as I slowly drove in and out of her, increasing my speed and depth inside of her.

Her moans became louder as we continued. I don't think she cared that her chest was on display, or maybe that was turning her on more. All I know is that it was an incredible feeling to be deep inside of Rose in the middle of a park, during a downpour. I just knew we were both going to get sick afterwards, but I wouldn't change this for the life of me.

I was plunging deeper and deeper inside of her as her body squeezed my erection, trying to coax me to explode inside of her. I continued pushing into her, when I looked up and noticed a woman in her 20's staring at us from just beyond the bushes. She was also soaked, like she has been there a while watching and she was not removing her eyes from the action.

Between Rose's muscles, the feeling of the rain and the new spectator, I would not last much longer. I fired deep inside of Rose and she moaned as her orgasm hit her seconds later. I made eye contact with our audience and she smiled and hurried off. I started to slide out of Rose's lips, and she held my hips, keeping me inside, "not yet," she said.

I did what she wanted and kept myself embedded inside of her until I was soft. I slipped out and we put our selves away. She took her panties completely off and told me, "here, put these in your pocket for now."

I did as I was told and stored her underwear in my wet pants pocket. We made ourselves somewhat presentable as we went back to the main trail and walked to the exit of the park. We were both soaking wet, and still excited from our adventure. I didn't know if I should tell Rose about our visitor or not, or just keep it to myself.

I decided not to say anything and as we got to the entrance of the park, she looked at me, kissed me gently and whispered to me, "did you see her too?" I shook my head yes. Rose said, "she lives down the block, I see her all the time." Rose continued, "Maybe next time, we can invite her over for dinner and dessert!"

I smiled and we kissed before making our way home to get dried off and continue our fun in a dryer environment.

Take it Slow - Part Twenty-Nine

a/n: okay this is my first shot at a harry:y/n fic, and it will be multiple parts. y/n had a bad experience with an ex over a year ago, and finally accepts her coworker and good friend Niall’s invitation to go on a blind date with his friend Harry.

Warnings: Smut, and a whole mess of fluff.

Masterpost (all previous parts can be found in the masterpost)

“C’mere.” You say to him. You sit up slightly. “I want you to like hover over me while I suck on you.”

“Are you sure you want my balls in your face like that?” He chuckles.

“Won’t bother me.”

Harry comes closer to you, and grips the top of your headboard. You grip him in your hand at first, and then put your mouth right on him. He sucks in a breath when he feels your hot, wet mouth around him. Sometimes you think back to when you were younger. You absolutely hated sucking dick. Some guys just had bad hygiene. But you loved doing it for Harry. He really made you see how hot it was to pleasure someone else orally. He also kept things trim and clean, which you very much appreciated.

He rocks against your face, going deeper down your throat. You groan against him, and he grips your headboard tighter. His eyes are screwed shut, trying to picture his dick inside of you where he really wants it. It’s not that he didn’t love it when you blew him, he just wanted to feel how tight you were.

It doesn’t take him long to come down your throat. You swallow up every bit of it, and he climbs off of you. You get up to rinse your mouth out.

“Holy shit!” You scream, and he rushes into in the bathroom to make sure you’re alright. He finds you inspecting the back of your body in the mirror. Your front wasn’t nearly as fucked up. “Jesus, Harry.” You say rubbing a spot on your shoulder. “I look like a leopard.” You start laughing.

“You said I could…”

“I’m not complaining.” You assure him.

“Looks good on you anyways.” He gives you kiss on the cheek and pats your bum. He leaves you to do your thing in the bathroom.

You wash your face and brush your teeth. When you come out of the bathroom you pick up his t-shirt and throw it on over you. He’s sitting up in bed reading.

“Harry, you look so cute in your glasses, have I ever told you that?” He looks at you and smiles.

“Maybe once or twice.” He teases. He finishes the last page of his book and sighs.

“What?” You ask getting into the bed.

“Nothin’, just sad. This was the last book in this series.”

“Did it have a happy ending?”

“As happy as it could be, yeah. It’s my second time readin’ it, still gets to me.” He takes his glasses of and wipes a tear away.

“I wish I liked reading as much as you do. I much prefer television.”

“I just like getting’ lost in the pages. I mean, I read garbage novels, but they’re just so addicting. Has a television show ever moved you to tears?”

“Oh, tons of times. I think TV has made me cry more than film.”

“Really? What shows have made you cry?” He pulls you into his chest and turns the light off. God, you loved pillow talk before bed.

“Okay, don’t laugh, but when I was in high school, and college too, I was really into Glee.”

“That show about the nerds in the acapella club?”

“Yeah.”

“That show made you cry?”

“I think just about every episode in the third season made me cry, and I sobbed during the season finale. To be fair, I was like sixteen.” You giggle. “There were a couple of scripted series on MTV too that made me super emotional.”

“Like what?”

“There was a show called Awkward that just really fired me up. And there was Teen Wolf.”

“Teen Wolf? Isn’t that a movie with Michael J. Fox?”

“Yeah! But then MTV made a show based off the movie, much darker though. It was really good. Well, it got worse as the seasons went on, but I watched through to the end. Same with Awkward.”

“Do you watch anythin’ now that tugs at your heart strings?”

“Um…I really like that show Roswell: New Mexico. I didn’t think I would like it so much, but it got to me. The first season is on Netflix, maybe we could watch it sometime.”

“Sure, I’d like that.”

“I used to like live blog and write reviews for the shows I’d watch. I still do sometimes.”

“Where do you blog?”

“On Tumblr mostly.”

“That’s cool that you do that.”

“It’s funny because I hate reading reviews of things. I like to try things out for myself. Oh! Do you watch Stranger Things? That’s a good one. Niall and I always binge watch it together when a new season comes out.”

“That’s right!” He starts laughing. “I remember he like blew me off during the day on the 4th this summer to go meet up with you.”

“That was an incredible binge, if I do say so. Speaking of him, he wants to have a movie night Friday so we can all celebrate our good news. I was thinking of having everyone over here. What do you think?”

“Works for me.” He smiles at you.

Your period was a killer this week. There were several times during the week you found yourself on the floor in your office. You had run out of your stash of ibuprofen, and hadn’t had time to get more. You were forced to just suffer in silence. The pain would pass eventually, and then you could get on with it.

Harry was good about not getting on your nerves too much. He was slowly learning what you needed while your hormones were at their peak. Every morning you’d examine your body, almost becoming sad at seeing the marks slowly fade away as they healed. You were incredibly horny, but there wasn’t anything you could do. You’d had sex on your period before, but you certainly weren’t going to let him use his fingers or mouth on you right now. You had contemplated maybe in the shower, but you were afraid of residue. You didn’t tell him this, but you got yourself off a couple times in the shower on your own. You had to, the ache between your legs was just too unbearable.

Your body was trying to tell you something for sure, but your mind tried its best to keep you at bay.

You were delighted when your period ended Friday morning, but your stomach felt like shit. The first week of a birth control pack was your least favorite thing, even more so than your period. Your dosage wasn’t even that high, but it still would make you feel like you were going to vomit.

“Anythin’ ya need me t’pick up for tonight? I can do a run to the market before ya get home from work.” Harry says to you sitting up in bed, watching you pick your outfit for the day.

“Think I have everything we need. I have chips and dip, we’ll probably order pizza or something.” You decide on a pair of dark jeans and blouse/blazer combination. You throw your hair up in a high pony, and take a few strands out to frame your face.

“Know what we’re watchin’ yet?”

“Nope.”

“Who’s comin?” You sigh and look at him.

“Harry, I love you, but you’ve reached my capacity for questions this morning, okay?” He blinks at you.

“Sorry.”

“It’s not your fault, I just feel gross and I’m hormonal. Not a great excuse.”

“One more question.” You nod. “Is Aunt Flow still in town?”

“No she left early this morning, thank god. This was a rougher month.” You sit on the edge of the bed. He places a hand on your thigh.

“Sometimes I wish I could just take all your aches away.” You smile at him.

“You do, in more ways than you know.” You stand up and give him a light kiss. “See you tonight.”

“Love you.”

“Love you too, babe.”

You felt better as the work day went on. You were excited to have a little double date with Niall and Sarah. Harry got out of work around 4PM, so he went straight to your apartment. He knew you’d want to have the place ready to go so you could relax when you got home. He fluffed up the pillows on your couch, and folded up the couple of blankets you kept on the back of it. He made sure all of the beer for him and Niall was in the fridge, and he picked up your favorite wine.

You keyed into your apartment around 5:30, and kicked off your shoes. Your nose was pink from the cold air outside. Harry had his legs slung over one of the large chairs you had near the couch. He had his laptop, and was working away. He looked up at you and gave you a smile.

“Hi, love.” He says.

“Hi honey.” You yawn.

“I tidied a bit for ya.” You kiss the top of his head.

“Thank you. M’just gonna go change quick.”

You change into a pair of leggings and a t-shirt, and come back out to Harry. He puts his laptop on the coffee table, and gestures for you to come sit with him. You sit in his lap, and rest your head on his shoulder. He rocks you back and forth slowly, and you let out a calming sigh.

“How’s my baby girl today, hm?”

“Tired.” He rubs your back. “But I’m happy to have friends over tonight.” You nuzzle into his neck.

“I bought that wine you really like.”

“Mm.” Is all you muster out as you start to doze off in his arms. He chuckles, but lets you drift.

Your eyes snap open when you hear Niall and Sarah walk into your place. You practically jump off of Harry.

“Sorry, did we disturb you two?” Sarah giggles. “We brought a veggie platter.” She hands it to Harry.

“No, I fell asleep. I was exhausted.” You stretch, and hug your friend.

“Alright, what are we watchin? TV, movie?” Niall says.

“Oh! You know what was on the other night that I’d love to watch all the way through?” You say.

“What?”

“The Forty-Year-Old Virgin. I refrained from watching it because it was halfway through. It’s on Netflix, do we feel like a comedy?”

“Works for me.” Niall says.

“I love that movie!” Sarah says.

Harry and Niall grab their beer, and you and Sarah fill your glasses with wine. You and Sarah sit in the middle of the couch, and your boyfriends sit on either side of you. Your apartment was filled with giggles right off the bat.

“God, we love a young Paul Rudd.” Sarah says.

“We love a Paul Rudd at any age.” You clink your glass with hers. Harry pinches your arm, and you giggle. “What?”

“I’m sittin’ right here. You’re attracted to him?”

“You’re not?! He’s beautiful!” You and Sarah start laughing.

“Isn’t he like fifty?” Niall chimes in.

“So?” You and Sarah say at the same time.

“He’s a hall pass for sure.” Sarah says, kissing her boyfriend on the cheek.

“Agreed. What I would give for a night with Paul Rudd.” You look up at Harry and burst out laughing.

“Jesus, mate, here I was thinkin’ she liked the tall, tan guys, but clearly I was wrong.”

“Now you’ve learned your place.” Niall says laughing. You kiss Harry on the cheek.

You and Sarah laugh so hard you both cry when Jonah Hill makes his small cameo. The guys end up laughing pretty hard at several moments too. You get up to grab the veggie platter out of the fridge and set it up on the coffee table for everyone.

“Thanks for bringing this by the way.”

“Oh no problem, figured it would be better than pizza. Are you excited for Hanukkah to start tomorrow?”

“Yes! I look forward to the gift card my uncle gives me every year.” You giggle.

“Is Harry going with you?” Sarah asks.

“Yup.” You two share a look and start laughing.

“Alright, why does this keep happening? Has everyone been to this party but me?”

“Pretty much, lad.”

“What’s the big deal? Is there somethin’ I should know?”

“Y/N’s great uncle is just a really funny guy. I would just watch out when he greets you.”

“Sarah!”

“You’re not even going to warn him?”

“Warn me of what?”

“If she didn’t warn me, she doesn’t get to warn him.” Niall says.

“Harry…just…” Sarah giggles. “He’s just an older Jewish guy with different ways of saying hello. That’s all.”

“What’s he gonna do? Hug me? M’fine with that.”

“Sure, he’s going to hug you.” Sarah shrugs. “It’s a really great way to know you’re part of the family.”

Sarah and Niall leave around 11PM. You and Harry clean up the living room, and head to the bedroom.

“What time should we leave tomorrow?”

“Party starts at six, so we should probably leave here at like quarter of five, might be traffic.”

“Oh great, so we can sleep in a little?”

“Yup.” You kiss him and turn over. He wraps himself around you, being the bigger spoon.

“That was fun tonight.”

“Yeah, I’m glad we were able to do it. Gotta make more time for them.”

“Definitely….so, Paul Rudd could have you huh?” You turn over to face your stupid boyfriend.

“You’re not serious?”

“Nice to know how you really feel.” He fake pouts.

“I’m sure you have your own celebrity crushes.”

“I suppose. None I would leave you for to go fuck though. Wouldn’t be worth it.” You bite your bottom lip to keep from smiling. “You would really ask me for a hall pass for Paul Rudd? Of all people?”

“Hypothetically speaking, if he wasn’t married with kids, I would consider it. More than anything I think I’d like to just have dinner with him, pick his brain.”

“So you want to go out on a date with him?”

“Sure!” You giggle.

“Who else do you swoon over?” He gives you a crooked smile.

“That’s a very personal question.” You tease.

“Why?”

“Because you’re essentially asking me about who I’ve fantasized about.”

“Jesus, if you tell me you’ve touched yourself thinking about Paul R-“

“I haven’t! Not with him.”

“Who then?” Your cheeks flush. “C’mon, I wanna know who my competition is.”

“Harry, it’s embarrassing.” You shove your face into his chest.

“Please, I’m so curious.” He begs.

“You’re going to laugh at me.”

“Promise I won’t.” You lift your head and look at him.

“I would bone Andy Samberg if I had the chance, again, if he wasn’t married with a child. I will not be a homewrecker.”

“What is with you and older Jewish dudes?”

“Don’t know. It’s not because they’re Jewish. I just find him really attractive, plus he’s funny. You’re funny.”

“Right, the key to a girl’s heart is humor.” He rolls his eyes.

“Harry, if you didn’t make me laugh on our first date, I wouldn’t have seen you again, attraction or not.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously. Sense of humor is very important to me. You’re so quick when you joke around, you could be a comedian yourself.” He lifts your chin up to kiss you.

“So, you were pretty hot f’me when we first met, huh?”

“So hot.” You roll your eyes. “I had never seen a man quite so handsome. What about me? What did you think of me when we first met?”

“I wanted to hit Niall for not doing you justice. I mean the lad told me you were beautiful, but shit, when I saw you, I nearly got the wind knocked out of me.”

“Oh stop.” You swat your arm at his chest.

“M’serious. And you were so cute at the end of the night, when you simply kissed me on the cheek. It was so innocent and sweet. Not somethin’ I had really experienced before.”

“How do your first dates typically go?” You giggle. Harry scrunches his face.

“Do ya really wanna know the answer t’that?”

“Are you seriously going to tell me that you usually bone on the first date?”

“That’s usually the only date I want, so yeah.” He says a little too honestly.

“What about the girl you dated for like seven months, or whatever?”

“Uhh, we got frisky…didn’t do it til the second date I think. I don’t know, I was such an asshole, I basically just thought of her as the girl I was consistently hookin’ up with.”

“Were you sleeping with other people?”

“Nah, just her.”

“And she thought you were dating, but you didn’t think you were?”

“I just thought of her as the girl I was seein’.” You often wondered what made you so goddamn special. You and Harry had talked about it before, but it still baffled you. “I know what you’re thinkin’. You know what I really liked about you, like, right off the bat?”

“What?”

“You were just so open and lovely. You were genuinely interested in what I had to say. I thought it was sweet that you complimented m’nails, like not in a judgey way. I couldn’t wait to see you again, honestly. I’d never felt that way before.”

“So you didn’t want to just fuck me then?”

“I wouldn’t have turned the opportunity down. I mean, you looked so fuckin’ sexy in that little black dress you wore.”

“I’ve never seen a man wear a pair of pants the way that you do.”

“What?” He laughs.

“You have a bubble butt babe, and it’s incredible. Love sinking my nails into those cheeks.”

“Are you still drunk?”

“Maybe just a bit buzzed, but I mean what I say.” You prop yourself up to really look at him. “You have a chonk, my dude.” Harry burst out laughing.

“Who talks like that?” He says with a big smile.

“Me and my friends. You’re not the only with a dirty mouth.” You wink. “You know what, I think that’s why I like Paul Rudd and Andy Samberg so much. They both have pretty big butts.”

You both giggle about a bunch of different things until you fall asleep.

The next morning you both happily slept in. You got up before Harry. You decided to do a light workout in your living room since you didn’t go to the gym much last week. You put on a pair of spandex shorts and sports bra, and tip toed out. You were just finishing your cool down when Harry walked into the living room, blanket wrapped around him. You guzzled down some water. Your body was drenched in sweat.

“Morning baby. Thought I’d get a quick workout in, we’re going to be eating a lot of food tonight.” He squints at you.

“You…you weren’t in the bed when I woke up.” He rubs his eyes, his voice was still thick with sleep.

“I was just out here, did you think I went somewhere?” You turn the TV off, and walk towards him.

“I don’t know what I thought. I just reached for you and you weren’t there.” He pouts. “I like when we snuggle in the mornin’. You’ve deprived me.” You giggle at him.

“Is baby a little cranky this morning?” You pinch of his cheeks and walk by him.

“Where you goin’ now?” He whines.

“Harry, I’m caked with sweat, I need to shower. You can join me if you want.”

“Not awake enough to shower.”

“That makes no sense. Showers wake people up all the time.”

“Too much work.” He curls up on the couch, and closes his eyes.

You take your shower, alone. You take full advantage of having the privacy to shave every last inch of yourself. You blow dry your hair, and throw your robe on, not really feeling like putting clothes on yet. Harry was still wrapped in your blanket, but he was sitting up and had a mug in his hands. He was watching something mindless on television. You sit down next to him and smile. You throw your legs over his lap.

“Feel how smooth my legs are, I just shaved them.” He gives you a funny look and giggles, rubbing his hand up and down one of your legs.

“Mm, so soft.”

“You’re a sleep boy today.”

“Yeah, I am. Not really sure why, I’ll perk up once the coffee’s in me.”

“Want me make something for breakfast? I have oatmeal and grapes.”

“If you don’t mind, that’d be great.”

You turn on the electric kettle Harry had sneakily bought you. He said it was for him so he could have tea quick, but you know he wanted you to have one of your own. Once the water was boiling, you poured it into the two bowls of quick oats you made up. You but a dash of cinnamon in each, and topped it with some grapes. You come back over and hand him his bowl.

“Thank you baby.”

“My pleasure.”

You both scarf down your breakfast, and sit on the couch a while longer. Harry gets up to clean the bowls, and puts them in the dishwasher. He stretches out, and lets out a moan.

“Alright, guess I’ll shower now.”

You bring the blanket back to the bed and make it up. Harry’s in and out of the shower quick. He has his towel wrapped around his waist. You’re sitting on the edge of your bed, filing your nails, he sits down next you.

“How long we been together now? Little over four months?”

“Yeah, it’ll be five in January.” You smile. “Why?” He twiddles his thumbs.

“Well, it might be too soon to be bringin’ this up, but s’not like that’s ever stopped us before. I’m here a lot, and I love your place. I still like my place, but I love your place because this is where you and all your things are. I didn’t know if maybe when we got back from holiday, maybe we could entertain the idea of finding a place of our own?” He looks up at you. You’re speechless. “I mean, I’d say let’s just live here, but I need a space for my desk and monitor. I think a two bedroom where we could split the other room as a conjoined office or somethin’, would make the most sense.” He chews on his bottom lip. “I’ve totally freaked you out haven’t I?”

“How long have you, um, felt this way? When did you realize you wanted to live with me?”

“Can’t pin point it. Just somethin’ I’ve been thinkin’ about. I know it seems fast, but we’re practically livin’ together as it is. We can talk about it later if you’re not ready now. Just wanted to put the bug in your ear.”

You were amazed. You hadn’t even fully slept with the man yet, and he already wanted to live with you. You put your hands on his shoulders and push him back on the bed. You crawl on top of him, and kiss his face all over.

“Harry, I would love to live with you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah! Maybe like towards the end of January we could start looking for a bigger place. You know, once all of the holidays are over. Can you break your lease at any time?”

“Pretty much, yeah. Why?”

“Well…you could move in here before we find another place. Doesn’t make sense for you to keep paying rent. It could take us months to find a place, I’d rather have you here during the in between. We can rearrange the furniture to fit all of your things. And I have that storage unit, we could keep your bed and bulkier furniture there for a little while.”

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too.” You kiss him. “Um…not that I don’t wanna tell the world, but I’d like to keep this quiet from my family for a bit. I still have to tell my dad about England. I’d rather ease them into something like this.”

“Of course. Better keep it quiet from my mum too. Keep everything nice and light.”

“I’m so excited!”

“Me too!”

Harry always seemed to be able to read your mind. It was a conversation you were hoping to have with him after you got back from England. You just couldn’t believe that he beat you to it. You were practically living together, and it didn’t make sense for you both to be paying rent separately. You’d miss his little place, but you’d eventually find a bigger place you both liked. You still loved the idea of potentially living in Niall’s building. Once you start making more money, you’d be able to afford it no problem.

So I watched the Eurovision movie

Uh, I have a lot of thoughts because this is the closest we’re gonna get to the real thing this year ;^; First, the positives!

What they got right:

Overall, I like that it wasn’t really taking the piss out of the competition – whether you agree or not with how it was portrayed, the creators do have a lot of love for the show and that is reflected in how much it means to the characters. I think it was fitting to start with the kids watching and being inspired by ABBA’s win (I’m always up for showing people where the group’s fame started), and making it their life goal to perform in the contest. Just like Lars and Sigrit, many musicians in Europe grow up with Eurovision being an annual tradition and it’s their big dream to one day perform on that international stage, so yeah I think it decently showed how important ESC is here.

They got the overall vibe right too – most of the songs really felt like Eurovision songs (maybe a little dated but still), from the Viking-Europop opener to the Lordi-aesthetic one to whatever the hell Russia was doing. I don’t think Greece’s song was something they’d ever send though; it fits the character but not what the country typically sends. Then again, Estonia have sent an opera song in Italian and Romania sent yodel rap so actually, I take back that statement. They were missing a Balkan ballad though! Staging was on point – I think it was filmed at the Tel Aviv stage so that’s obviously a factor, but big angel wings and hamster wheels also bring a lot of familiarity :P No pianos being set on fire though, which, in a movie with so many on-stage disasters, is honestly surprising.

Of course there’s also the past contestant cameos, for that I’ll say one thing – needs more Verka. Maybe some contestants from earlier years would have been nice too, at least we did hear Céline Dion’s song in the song-along. Would also have been nice if the whole mashup was Eurovision songs, instead of throwing in some other ones just to make it more recognizable for non-Eurofans. Otherwise, the mashup was really seamless and sounded good.

Another thing the movie got right was European’s attitudes to Americans, not sure how I feel about it since the movie was made by Americans, but it’s self-aware and pretty funny :P There’s also the funny gag about countries not wanting to host because of how expensive it is, not sure why a guy working for the national broadcaster would care about that but looking at Iceland’s population size, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was also an economist for the government or something.

What they got wrong:

Of course, there were some things they didn’t quite get right. First of all, did the UK win for it to be hosted in Scotland??? Unless Australia won, or some other country that didn’t want to host or something. They actually made a joke about UK getting zero points, but they said it’s because no one likes us, when in reality we just send the blandest songs :/

There were also a whole lot of technical inaccuracies like Sweden breaking the rule on number of people allowed on stage, big five countries taking part in the semi-final (come on, how can you not get that right? Maybe they were afraid Americans wouldn’t recognise half the flags? :P), the contestants were just sitting by themselves in some room like it’s The Voice or something, their delegations nowhere to be seen, and then there’s the total lack of security or planning around the competition, with Lars just running around doing whatever. The countries presenting their votes in the semi-final stood out as well, but since we didn’t get to see the final I can brush over it, just so we experience the voting somewhere in the movie. Wonder why they didn’t use past contestants for the points announcements? They also had the French one speaking in English but you know what, they remembered to make sure he was standing in front of the Eiffel Tower so I’ll let them off :P

One thing that did bother me was how hard the movie tried to make us think the Icelandic song was a failure, except the song wasn’t even bad so they had to resort to all the incidents on stage. They even had that complete silence after the hamster wheel incident, and there is NO WAY that would ever happen – even the null points songs get cheers! In fact, people would cheer harder, and I don’t think Graham Norton, or anyone for that matter, would be that surprised that people remembered the song and actually gave it points (oh yeah, great to see him in this!).

Okay, some of those inaccuracies were nitpicks, but they’re just fun to point out. I don’t think they quite nailed the portrayal though, but more on that later.

The movie itself:

Judging the rest of the film, the humour really didn’t do it for me- it was just kind of jarring that one half of the movie felt like your usual light-hearted music contest film that was fairly rooted in reality, then the next there’s a dismembered ghost of Demi Lovato and a guy getting stabbed by Elves??? I know it’s classic Will Ferrel random comedy but honestly, those parts could have been cut out of the movie just fine, it’s like half an hour too long anyway and you can tell by the way the humour drags. It can basically be summarised by the ending scene where Lars is yelling at the Americans and then just keeps going, and I know that’s the joke in that scene but they do this throughout the whole movie – something will happen and the characters will keep reacting back and forth and it’s honestly exhausting. That might just be me though, maybe I’d prefer more witty and self-aware humour in a Eurovision movie but I guess non-fans wouldn’t get half the jokes so they went for over-the-top ridiculousness ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As for the characters, Sigrit was great; she’s a good mix between cute and weird. Lars is… annoying tbh, maybe I just don’t care for Will Ferrel's character type but when Alexander asks Lars what he can possibly offer Sigrit I was like “yeah Lars, what CAN you offer?”. Their relationship was cute though and his arc about caring too much about winning was decent, it does kind of resonate with Eurovision because yeah, lots of countries will revamp their songs to have English lyrics and the style is increasingly converging to Americanized radio-friendly pop music. I do wish they’d focused more on this conflict, rather than bringing in a love square (?) with Alexander and Mita.

Speaking of Alexander, I actually liked how they portrayed the Russian character; he wasn’t a villain, he was fun to watch and was genuinely happy to see Sigrit succeed. I did not expect them to go there with the whole “there are no gays in Russia” thing – I laughed but also actually felt for the guy, and his friendship with Mita was peak mlm/wlw solidarity, it was sweet.

The ending:

For me, this is where it goes American Hollywood style and kinda reminds me of Madonna’s speech about everyone being winners. Felt like I was watching Camp Rock for a second then (which is funny since Demi is in this movie) – all the other acts are fun songs but we’ll just change ours to a ballad so it must be more heartfelt and resonate with the audience, as if a good chunk of ESC songs aren’t ballads already!! To be fair, they do well in having it be a personal song about her hometown and adding in parts in Icelandic (although I’ve heard it’s so butchered you can’t understand what’s being said), it’s a sweet ode to one of the best parts of Eurovision – celebrating where you’re from and making your country proud.

Wish they’d focused more on that tbh, we really could have done without Lars speaking to the audience – that’s the more Hollywood moment for me and kind of reminds me of acts that try to connect with the audience like it’s a concert. Sorry but we don’t do that here :P Instead of the “music is feeling”-like message, it would have been nice if the movie was more directed towards celebrating why the contest is so big and important even decades after it began, and how it literally brings an entire continent together for one night. This would have been nice especially because of all the cynicism towards ESC and its dismissal as just a dumb, campy event with no quality music whatsoever.

Huh, I just remembered there are no live instruments at Eurovision so how everyone can hear the piano at the end is beyond me, also the instrumental kicks in despite the fact that that song has never been recorded in a studio, let alone able to be played out loud onstage. But I’ll just imagine that’s for us to see, the audience actually just heard her singing and nothing else. I don’t think it would have been that impressive, so Iceland probably won everyone’s hearts through memes instead :’D

Overall, I don’t think the movie was terribly offensive or anything, just some silly fun that missed out on the potential of better portraying the Eurovision spirit. I might eventually watch it again, but with skipping out half the comedy :P

LIFE WITH BANGTAN | ot7

005

genre ⇾ fluff, comedy, bts crack?, mature

pairing ⇾ bts x fem reader

summary ⇾ for the past three months, your boyfriends have been traveling and working non-stop. when they get home, all they want to do is relax & spend time with you but your idea of relaxing means buying nerf guns and turning their dorm into a war zone…

warning ⇾ the usual: swearing, cringy-ness, implied smut, toy guns…? idk

words ⇾ 6,3k

. * 　　　 ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . * ⁺

Stepping out of the elevator toe in toe, duffel bags draped over their shoulders and suitcases being pulled behind them… Even with their faces covered in masks and hoodies pulled over their heads, nothing could hide the exhaustion they felt as they dragged their feet towards their dorm.

After just coming off an eight hour flight from a full three months of working, all the guys wanted to do was sleep and relax but you of course had other plans.

“What’s this?” Yoongi asks as he walks up to the front door of their dorm.

There is a large black box sat on the floor in front of their home.

“Don’t get too close… It looks suspicious.” Jimin says as he begins taking out his phone to snap pictures of the box…

‘For evidence, just incase we blow up.’ Jimin thinks to himself.

Jin walks forward to stand behind Yoongi. He peeks over the shorter man’s shoulder to get a look at the mysterious box. “There’s a note.” He notices.

Jin steps around Yoongi then leans down to pick up the folded piece of paper. “Hyung don’t! What if it explodes.” Jimin nearly shouts and Jungkook chuckles beside him. “It won’t explode Jimin. They wouldn’t bring it upstairs for us if it were dangerous.” Jin pulls the note off the lid of the box and unfolds it.

He instantly notices your very neat hand-writing and smiles before reading the note out loud to his members.

“Welcome back gentlemen,

I hope you’ve all had a great trip. While you’ve been away, I’ve been plotting...

I am writing to inform you that you all have been selected for the battle of a lifetime.

The seven of you versus the reigning Nerf Queen (me)…”

“Not again.” Yoongi sighs heavily and Namjoon laughs at his annoyed expression as Jin continues to read your note.

“I will give you chance to defeat me in our impending Nerf war.

If you all somehow miraculously win then I will give the seven of you whatever it is you desire...

but if I win, I request only one thing…

A noble steed, to stand by my side when you all are away.

Preferably one of feline descent... But we can discuss details when I finish you!”

“Well she’s extremely confident.” Taehyung speaks up.

“It’s hot.” Jimin smirks as he invasion you reading the words you’ve written, instead of Jin. He’s always been a fan of how confident you always seem to be.

“If you guys step foot into the dorm, I will take that as your acceptance to this battle.

If you do not enter, you forfeit and I win.

But, if you do choose to enter, get ready to meet your doom.

Everything you need is in the box.

Good luck boys.”

Jin finishes reading your note then folds it back up.

Yoongi sighs heavily at the thought of having to run around the dorm with seven other fully grown adults, trying to dodge foam bullets after just coming off of what felt like the longest flight of his life.

“Why is she like this?” He asks as he rubs his hand over his face. He is so tired, all he wants to do is take a long nap.

As much as Yoongi loves you, sometimes you drive him crazy with your random fits of passion. There are times when you get these crazy ideas in your head and immediately want to act on them without thinking them through and that, sometimes doesn’t end well for the boys or for yourself but even with all that being said, your spontaneousness is one of the many reasons why Yoongi has fallen in love with you. You’re the opposite of him… When he is calm, cool and collected, you are bouncing off the walls. You guys balance each other out.

Much like you balance out the relationship between the six other men in your life.

Namjoon pulls his bag up on his shoulder before walking over to the box. He kneels down and lifts the lid off. He chuckles when he sees the contents of whats inside.

There are a shit ton of small blown up balloons, tied together with ribbon. The nerf guns are underneath, peaking out from the bottom of the box. “She’s outdone herself.” He says, a dimpled smile showing up on his handsome face as he thinks about how much effort you’ve put into this ‘battle’.

He finds it adorable.

“So what are we gonna do?” Hoseok questions. His voice is still groggy from the few minutes of sleep he had in the car. “I’m so tired.” He mumbles, causing the other members to nod in agreement. They are all exhausted.

A hot shower and a warm bed would do them some good.

“Come on guys, we must fight!” Tae shouts excitedly. His fighting spirit taking over his previously tired state.

“She hasn’t give us much of a choice in the matter, so I guess we have to.” Namjoon reminds them.

“Of course we have to. We live here, we can’t just not go into our own home.” Jin states the obvious.

“Then it’s settled, pass me a gun.” Jungkook speaks with determination… He is just as tired as his Hyungs are but he never passes up the opportunity to play with toy guns.

“We’re really doing this?” Yoongi groans the question out as Namjoon passes him a string of balloons to tie around his waist.

When Namjoon passes out the balloons, the rest of the members follow suit, tying the ribbon around their waist. He then passes out the guns, he is the last to grab his own and when he does, he stands up and faces his members.

“What’s the plan?” Jungkook says as he throws the strap of his weapon over his shoulder. Hoseok chuckles at younger the boys eagerness.

“You’re acting like we’re going into a real battle Kookie.” He says through laughter and Jungkook chuckles. “We are! She caught me off guard the last time, I won’t let that happen again.” He shouts, remembering the day you started the nerf wars.

It was a few months after you started dating the boys. They had just finished their dance practice and you had shown up unannounced, dressed in Jungkook’s full cameo two piece (which was indeed too big for you but you didn’t let that stop you. You simply tighten a belt around your waist and cuffed the foot of each pant leg a few times before leaving their dorm.) with two nerf guns, one slung over your shoulder and another in your hand.

You bursted into the practice room and shot your gun without warning, chasing them all around Big Hit Ent. You were shouting at them and laughing hysterically while demanding all sorts of ridiculous things… A horse, a spaceship, an island to which they all said no, of course… Except Jimin. He was willing to give you whatever you wanted as long as you stopped shooting him with foam bullets.

This battle (more like attack) went on for almost an two hours, until eventually all eight of you were being kicked out of the building by the other staff.

Jungkook will never forget that day, the moment when you barged into their practice room… He’ll never forget it because it was in that moment that he knew he was for sure, in love with you.

The girl who is full of determination and fighting spirt. The girl who is just as competitive as him and matches his wits…

Yeah, you are definitely the girl of his dreams.

“I have no plan…” Namjoon says, bringing the maknae out of his thoughts. “Just try to win. Let’s do this quick so we can get some rest.” He says and the younger boys pout. “You’re no fun Hyung.” Tae says and Namjoon ruffles his hair lovingly, with a small smile on his face.

Meanwhile, inside the dorm, you are pacing back and forth. One of Tae’s bandanas tied around your head, you have striped black face paint on either cheek and you are dressed in all black. A black sports bra and your favorite little black shorts. You also went as far as putting knee pads on, just incase things get a little aggressive (which can happen with you and Jungkook). You are ready for battle.

You stand in the living room bouncing anxiously from side to side. “Why aren’t they coming?” You asks out loud. You look over at the clock on the wall to check the time. You know their plane landed over an hour ago. Jin texted you to tell you that they were on their way.

‘So why weren’t they here yet?’ You think to yourself.

You sigh and begin to pace back and forth again, behind the tower of pillows you created.

You spent the whole day rearranging furniture in the house to create a safe and non-breakable war-zone.

You pushed the the coffee table into the far corner of the room, took out all the glass decor and placed it underneath the kitchen sink and most importantly, you’ve created your own fort made entirely of blankets and pillows which is located upstairs…

It’s safe place where you can reload your gun and recharge with snacks and water if need be (you’ve also made one for the boys).

And yes, you may have taken every. single. pillow. you could find in the dorm, to create such an environment and Yes, you know Jin will scolded you later but it will all be worth it once you win…

At least thats what you keep telling yourself.

Your pacing doesn’t falter as time passes… You checked the clock every few minutes, feeling more and more anxious as it tics and tocs loudly on the wall. You were excited, yes but you were also unsure of how the boys would react.

Just as your about to retrieve your phone from the kitchen, you hear the sound of muffled voices coming from behind the front door. Your gaze shoots over to the door as you stand frozen in your spot. “Oh shit, oh shit.” You chanted as you suddenly feel unprepared. You frantically look around the room, trying to see if everything is in place.

Once you are sure you’re all set, you sprint across the room to flick the light switch off. You then run back over to the couch and slide down behind it. You hold your breath as you press your back against the velvet material of the couch. You can hear the sound of the buttons being pressed into the keypad… and soon the door is being pushed open.

‘Game on.’ You think to yourself as you hear your boys shuffling into the house.

The dorm is quiet and dark… The only light on is the one above the stove in the kitchen.

“She must be hiding.” Namjoon speaks first as he steps further inside. “Why do I feel scared? Like she’s going to pop out of somewhere and attack.” Jin says somewhat jokingly and Hoseok chuckles before agreeing with him. “Me too!” He says. You try your best to stifle the laugh in your throat.

‘My big scaredy-cats.’ You think.

“Darling?” Tae calls out to you as he moves past his Hyung’s to walk further into the living room.

You stay quiet and hidden behind the couch.

Yoongi sighs before flicking on the light against the wall. “Hey!” You shout, causing Jin to jump a bit at sudden sound of your voice. All heads turn towards the direction of the couch. “The lights are supposed to stay off.” You complain but don’t make any efforts to move from your hiding spot. “Let’s not do this in the dark Kitten. Someone could get hurt.” Yoongi tells you. His voice sounds slightly annoyed so you know better than to argue with him.

As the room is now illuminated, Jin finally takes a good look around… He is shocked to see the current state of his living room. It’s definitely not the way he left it. “What did you do in here Princess?” He questions you. You don’t miss the slight disappointment you hear in his voice. “Just a little rearranging so we can play… You’re not mad are you Jinnie?” You say innocently, knowing that it’s hard for him too resist you, when you talk to him as sweet as you do.

Jin doesn’t get a chance to respond to your question.

“Why don’t you come out so we can see you Sweetheart?” Jungkook says before swiftly holding his gun up to aim it in your direction. As angelic as his voice sounds, you know better than to trust him in a time like this so you stay put. “No thanks.” You tell him, the words come out faster than you anticipated and that makes Namjoon chuckle. “Well the game can’t start unless you come out.” Jungkook tells you.

Of course he’s right but you don’t want to move, in fear of him shooting you as soon as he sees you. “Please come out Angel. I really want to see you.” Hoseok speaks next. His voice is as sweet as candy and you know you can trust him but still, you don’t move. “You can’t shoot if I show myself. Weapons down.” You command and you hear them rustling which you assume is them obeying your request. “Jungkook.” You call his name as a warning, knowing good and well that he still his gun locked and load, ready to fire as soon as you make yourself visible. “Fine.” He groans putting his gun down and you chuckle, finding it slightly amusing how you know him so well. “Okay, I’ll show myself but if you shoot, I pop a balloon.” You tell them the peneatly and hear Jimin graon. “Thats not fair.” He protest. “Of course it’s fair!” You exclaim. Just as Jimin is going to respond, Yoongi speaks, wanting to stop the bickering between you two before it even begins.

“Okay, okay. Just show yourself Kitten.” He says.

You sigh heavily, before leaning up to peak over the top of the couch. “Okay… Just making sure everybody has their guns down.” You say before standing up. You walk from behind the couch to stand in front of the boys, keeping a few feet of distance in between you and them.

Namjoon audibly gulps when he sees you. Your outfit has made his mouth dry. Hoseok and Yoongi can’t stop starting at the way your legs look in those shorts. Jimin and Taehyung seem to be mesmerized by tops of your breast poking out from your bra.

Jungkook, however is the only one who seems to be unfazed by your appearance.

You suddenly feel a little more confident. You purposefully chose this outfit as a distraction… You are happy to see it is working.

“Hello boys.” You say. Your voice is smooth and saultry and the sound shoots right down to Jin’s abdomen. You look good enough to eat. He can’t take his eyes off you. “Is that my bandana?” Taehyung asks, a quizzical look on his face. “Yes, I hope you don’t mind that I’m borrowing it baby.” You say and he shakes is head rapidly. “No, no. Of course not. It looks good on you.” You smile and send him a wink and he blushes.

“Is anyone else slightly turned on right now?” Jimin questions and Hoseok begins to slowly raise his hand but Jungkook is quick to pull it back down. “Don’t fall for it Hyung!” Jungkook says sharply. His eyes haven’t left your figure. He will never admit it but you look damn good and it’s taking him a lot of self control not to pounce on you.

It’s been three moments and he misses the feeling of your skin against his palms, or the warmth of your body underneath his but right now he is in game mode and you… You are the enemy.

“Well it’s nice to see you too Kookie.” You smirk at him. You throw your gun over your shoulder and begin to walk back and forth in front of them like you are their command leader in the military. “I will explain the rules now… Just incase any of you may have forgotten.” You tell them authoritatively.

All the boys give you their undivided attention as you speak.

“The balloons equal your lives. Three lives for each player. When you lose all your balloons, you are no longer in the game.”

“I’ll be out first then… I don’t plan on working too hard.” Yoongi says honestly, causing the other members to chuckle. You shoot him a glare before continuing. “First team to pop all the balloons of the opposing team wins the battle. All together you guys have twenty-one balloons so to even things out I will also have twenty-one balloons.” You explain thoroughly.

“Fair enough.” Jin nods his head in agreement.

“We’ll have three rounds and I will wear seven balloons at a time. Between each round, you get a five minute break. You can use that time to reload your guns, get a snack or get some water. I made a fort for you guys.” You point to the large fort you’ve created out of blanks and pillows.

“It has everything you need.” You tell them.

“Wow!” Tae and Jimin say in unison as the walk over to the fort against the wall in the corner of the room.

Tae doesn’t hesitate to crawl into the cave of blankets and pillows with Jimin following closely behind.

Surprisingly enough, the fort is big enough to fit the two of them comfortably and roomy enough to fit two others, as long as they are all squatting down. “Whoa! There’s seaweed chips and banana milk in here Kookie.” Jimin excitedly informs the younger member but Jungkook doesn’t flinch at the mention of his favorite snacks.

He has no time for seaweed chips or banana milk… The only thing he can think about is winning.

“Okay!” You say loudly, bringing the attention back over to you. “Is everyone familiar with the rules?” Yoongi groans and the other members confirm that they understand how the game works. “Perfect. The battle will commence after I count to five.” You say as you slowly begin to back up.

“Okay darling.” You hear Taehyung say from the left of you. When you look over in his direction, you see that he is already stalking towards with his gun aimed… Jimin is not to far behind, copying Tae’s action.

You suddenly feel your stomach start to twist in knots… A mixture of nerves and excitement begin to creep up into your chest.

‘No Y/n. You can do this. You have to win.’ You mentally give yourself a pep-talk as you move farther away from the boys and to the staircase.

“One.” You start to count down. You watch as all seven members fiddle with their guns. Checking the bullets, aiming to shoot and tightening the straps.

“Two.” You say, as the back of your foot hits the bottom step.

“Five.” You shout loudly, skipping over numbers three and four. You fire your gun and with luck on your side, you’re able to deflate one of Namjoon’s balloons.

The loud noise makes both Hobi and Jin jump. “YAH!” Namjoon shouts and chaos breaks loose but you don’t stay to watch it unfold. You turn around and dash up the stairs, taking two steps at a time…

Your legs aren’t that long but you manage to make it to the top… You know that Jungkook is coming, you can hear him but you don’t dare turn around to check.

Just as you are about to turn the corner, a foam bullet comes flying towards your side, hitting not one but two balloons that are close to your hip.

Both balloons pop at the same time and the sound makes you squeal. “Fuck.” You mumble as you run into one of the spare rooms to hide.

Winning won’t be as easy as you thought it would. Not with Jungkook around…

. * 　　　 ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . * ⁺ ⁺

“TIME OUT!” you yell from over the balcony upstairs before turning around to see Jin who is now lowers his gun.

You are breathing heavy, your chest is starting to feel tight.

You squat down on the floor, before dropping down on your bum. “Whats wrong Angel?” Hoseok calls from down stairs. “I just need a second.” You tell him.

Jimin and Tae come over to you with a bottle of water. You gratefully accept it and take a large swig.

The game is intense and even with one member down (Yoongi give up early on… You even think he popped one of his own balloons on purpose so he wouldn't have to play anymore.), the boys are still kicking your ass...

You thought for sure that this battle would be a breeze for you but boy were you wrong.

You are failing… and miserably too.

“You sure you’re okay Princess?” Jin asks you sincerely and you nod your head. All though you feel like your limbs are going to give out on you from all the running and jumping around, you are determine to win.

There’s a whole entire kitty on the line. You have to win

“We can always end here, Baby girl.” Namjoon reminds you from where he is plotted on the couch downstairs, chugging a bottle of water.

“No!” You say abruptly. “But maybe… Seven versus one is a little too much?” You think out loud. “Are you kidding me?!” You look up at Jungkook, he is standing in front of you with his eyebrows furrow in confusion. “You’re the one who wanted to do it this way in the first place.” He scolds you. “I know but people can change their minds.” You tell him. “I think that three of you should join my team.” You suggest. “No way!” Jungkook refuses. “It’s too late in the game to switch teams around Baby girl.” Namjoon informs you. “But I-…” You can barely get a word out before Jungkook is scolding you again. “The only reason you want a team now is because we are KICKING YOUR ASS!” Jungkook gloats. “Not true!” You protest while crossing your arms over your chest.

“Of course it’s true. We are gonna win whether you like it or not, so stop being a brat and accept your fate.” Jungkook words are as sharp as a knife. He is showing no mercy and you are used to it by now but every time he gets like this it, just riles you up more.

You are being a brat and you know it but loosing a game that you created is hurting you pride.

“You aren’t going to win. I just think we need to even out the playing field so things are fair.” You say sternly, still holding a pout on your lips.

“Fair? You weren’t thinking about being fair you put on those little shorts and the bra you’re wearing. You evil temptress! Don’t think I didn’t know what the hell you were doing. You can fool the other boys, but you won’t catch me slipping.” Jungkook exclaims.

Although your mouth is hung open in shocked, there is a slight amused look in your eyes…

Of course Jungkook is on to you, he always is but you weren’t expecting him to expose your tactics in front of the rest of the boys.

Jungkook smirks at the expression you face. “Yeah… You’re tricks won’t work on me Sweetheart.” He tells you confidently and you pout before bring your gaze over to Jin who is already smiling down at you. “Jinnie…” You call out to him. “Don’t fall for it Hyung.” Jungkook interrupts you. Jin looks at you with apologetic eyes. “I’m sorry Princess… The boys are right. It’s too late in the game to switch the rules. We only have one round left. Let’s makes it a fair one.” Although you aren’t happy with his words, his voice is reassuring… Plus, it’s Jin. You can’t be upset with him…

You were the one who decided that you could take them all on so you would either have to work harder to win or deal with the consequences.

“Fine.” You say. “Everyone get in position.” You stand up, holding your gun over your shoulder then jog down stairs to start the last round.

. * 　　　 ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . * ⁺ ⁺

Ten minutes into the last round and you are already back up stairs hiding in the closet. You have successfully taken out Namjoon but you are still not doing your best.

Out of twenty one balloons, you only have two left, while the boys all have either one or two left with the exceptions of Jungkook, who just so happens to be the only one with all three of his lives wrapped tightly around his waist.

You’re screwed… You’re almost ninety percentage sure of that but, you can’t give up. You want so desperately to win so you come up with a plan. Thinking through as many of the details as you can before you hear foot steps trailing up the stairs.

‘The first one to come around the corner…’ You think as you wait patiently.

“Baby… Where are you?” Jimin calls out for you as he approaches the upstairs hallway where you are hiding. You sigh in relief when you hear his voice, knowing that Jimin will be easier to convince than anyone else.

When you hear his foot steps stop in front of the closet door, you take your chance.

You pull the door open abruptly, the sound alerting Jimin immediately. He spins around to face you, whilst attempting to hold his gun up to shoot but you are quicker than him for once.

You grab him by his shirt and pull him into the closet with you.

You use Jimin’s body to push the door closed. Your hands are still clutching his shirt and even though the room is dark, you’re sure you can make out the way Jimin’s eyes widen at you in shocked. Your suddenness and strength has thrown him off guard.

Just as Jimin is about to speak, you quickly place your hand over his mouth.

“Don’t make a sound or I’ll twist your nipples.” You can feel Jimin’s mouth press into a fine line against you palm. He doesn’t make a single sound or movement and you try your best to hold the cackle pulling at your throat.

You slowly remove your hand from his mouth.

“Join me.”

“What?”

“Join my team.”

“I can’t…”

“Jimin, please. I’m dying out there, I need you.”

“You brought this upon yourself Baby.”

“Chim, please.” You beg, pulling on his shirt, bringing him closer to you. “Look, if I win we both win. You can still have whatever you want from me.” Jimin raises his brow at you and you feel a bit of regret, not know what type of idea he has swirling around his the brain of his. “What ever I want?” Jimin drags his words out, just to confirm that what he’s hearing is true. “Mhm.” You hum in response.

“Role play.” Jimin says without a second thought and you don’t need the lights on to know that he is showcasing that mischievous smirk of his.

“What?” You ask in confusion, unsure what he’s requesting from you.

“Next time we have sex, I want to role play.” He says nonchalantly before crossing his arms over his chest.

You groan and throw you head back in frustration. You’ve always disliked the idea of role playing. Not that you are completely against it or are judging anyone who loves it but you just don’t have the patience to do it.

When you are in the moment, you just want to get to the good part. This is not to say that you don’t enjoy a bit of foreplay first… You love it actually but you just can’t deal with the whole acting thing… It’s not your cup of tea.

But Jimin for some reason, really, really wants to try role playing with you. This isn’t the first time he’s mentioned it and all though you are always willing to give him what he wants… Role playing is the one thing you can’t get behind and he knows this but since you are currently in a bit of a pickle, of course he’s going to take advantage and use this against you to get what he wants.

“Ughhh... Jimin no. You know I—…”

“Well, I guess you don’t really need my help then… I’ll just go tell the boys where you’re hiding and—…” Jimin begins pushing himself off the wall but you push him back before he can go any further. “No!” You whisper to him. “Okay, okay I’ll do it.” You tell him.

“You’ll do what?”

“I’ll role play.”

“And you’ll do whatever character I want?”

“Sure.”

“Promise?”

“I promise Jimin…”

“You have to seal it.” Jimin says, puckering his lips so you can seal your promise with a kiss.

“Not so fast.” You say as you hold your hand out to stop his lips from reaching your own.

“You have to do something for me first.” You tell him and he raises his brow. “What?” He asks curiously, his lips still pressed to your palm. “Get Hobi to join us.” You say whilst removing your hand.

“Why Hobi Hyung? We’ll never win with him, he only has one life left!” Jimin whines and you can’t help but giggle at how cute he sounds.

He’s truly is the real baby boy of the group.

“I know but he is our only hope, literally. Since Namjoon is gone, Jin is now the new leader of your team and Tae? He sure as hell isn’t going to join us. You saw how upset he was when I took Yoongi last life… He’s probably pissed at me and will stay on the team to defend Yoongi’s honor…. And we all know Jungkook is my arch nemesis at the moment so he definitely isn’t gonna join us so that leaves us with our big scary cat baby, Jung Hoseok.” You explain. “Or…” Jimin starts with a twinkle in his eyes.

“It can be just the two of us on a team.”

“We’ll never win Chim… Not with just us two… We need Hobs.”

“Okay fine. I’ll recruit him but we still need a plan to win.”

“I know, so listen carefully…” You begin. You move yourself away from Jimin to pace back and forth in front of him. You begin to explain your plan passionately.

“All I need you to do is get them together in one spot… That way I can shoot them all at once. The closer they are together, the easier it’ll be for us to attack.” You tell him. He nods his head as if he’s listening to you so you continue.

“I will shoot from the balcony upstairs… so make sure they are standing in that area where I can see them.”

“You and Hoseok do what you can from below. You’ll be closer to them so it’ll be easy for you to get a better aim but keep in mind that they are close to you too. They can attack as easily as you can.”

“Got it.” Jimin confirms. “Wait… If you’re gonna be on the balcony they’ll see you, no?” He questions.

“I’ll hide around the corner. You can signal me when you’ve got them together and I’ll come out and attack.”

“Okay. The signal will be ‘I’m hungry’.”

You chuckle before nodding your head in agreement. “Okay. Make sure you relay all this to Hobert, we have no time for mistakes.”

Jimin chuckles at the new nickname you’ve called Hoseok. “Hobert…” He snickers and you smile, trying to hold in a giggle of your own.

“Jimin, please focus.”

Yes ma’am.”

You give Jimin a reassuring smile and then stand on your toes to peak his lips, sealing the promise you made earlier. “Let’s do this.” You say with confidence.

. * 　　　 ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . * ⁺

Jimin jogs back down the stairs and into the living room where his members are scattered around, patiently waiting for him. “What happen?” Jin whispers as the younger boy approaches him. “You don’t have to whisper Hyung... She’s upstairs hiding in the closet.” Jimin casually rats you out, as if it’s nothing.

“So what are we waiting for, lets go get her.” Jungkook leans up from the wall, his gun in one hand and a banana milk in the other. “We can’t… Not yet. She thinks I’m on her side.” Jimin confesses. “And she’s requested that I recruit Hobi Hyung.” He adds. “Me?” Hoseok points to himself in shock and Jimin nods. “Why not me?” Tae pouts at the thought of you not thinking him good enough to be on your team. “She said you wouldn’t join us because you have to defend Yoongi’s honor… Or something like that.” Jimin explains with a shrug of his shoulders. “True.” Tae nods in agreement.

“So what’s her plan? We need to know so we can come up with a better one.” Jungkook says and Jimin doesn’t hesitate to spill all the details of the plan you just told him less than five minutes ago.

The boys spend a few minutes coming up with a plan of their own, to destroy you… All the while, you are cluelessly in the closet, feeling a bit more confident thinking that Jimin and Hoseok are now on your side…

Little did you know, that couldn’t be any farther from there truth.

After another five minutes pass by, you decide it’s time to step out the closet.

You slowly twist the knob and cautiously push the door open. You poke your head out to see if the coast is clear and when you deem it safe enough, you hold your gun up and step out and into open hallway.

You tip toe your way over to the balcony and stand behind the wall at the edge of the railing. You peek over to see that the boys are in the center of the living room, exactly where you’d pictured them to be in your head.

You are so thrilled that Jimin has executed your request perfectly that you don’t notice that one out of the five players (still) in the game are missing…

You eyes meet Jimin and he winks at you. You smirk then wink back before moving back into your hiding position behind the wall.

Downstairs, Jimin nods his head over to the balcony to let his members know that you have come out of the closet and you are in position. Jin, Hoseok and Taehyung both nod, to gesture that they are ready then Jimin clears his throat before speaking.

“God, I’m so hungry.” He shouts causally.

You hear the signal and pop out from your hiding spot. You point your gun and shoot like a maniac. “Die! You peasants!” You scream as you shoot wildly, determine to pop as many balloons as you can from where you stand.

You’ve heard the sound of a balloon pop twice that is enough to convince you that you are winning but that victory is short lived when all the remaining members turn to point their guns towards you, including Jimin.

“What are you doing!?” You shout, keeping your eyes locked on the blue hair boy. “Sorry baby… I can’t let you win.” Is all he says before you are being attacked with foam bullest.

You are caught completely off guard for a few sections, just standing their taking the hits as you use your hands to shield your balloon.

When you finally come to your sense, it is too late.

You turn around to run but are frozen in your spot when you see that Jungkook is standing behind you with not one but two fully loaded Nerf guns in hand.

It’s as if the devil himself has appeared in front of you, preparing to snatch your soul from you body and suddenly you feel like you are apart of one of the top ten anime betrayals of all time.

“Hello Sweetheart.” Jungkook says to you, his voice is the sound of your favorite melody and your heart drops to your stomach. “No!” You whisper loud enough for him to hear you. You turn your head to look back at the other men downstairs. “There’s no where to run.” Jungkook reminds you. You see Jimin smirk with a matching mischievous glint in his eyes which makes your blood boil.

‘How could he betray me like this? After everything we’ve been through.’

“You set me up! I’m gonna beat your ass Park Jimin.” You shout angrily.

When you turn back around Jungkook has stepped a little closer to you. You think fast, leaning forward to grab on to one of his balloon. You successfully pop it and are going for the other but Jungkook is a lot stronger and way faster than you. Before you know it, you are being spun around and your hands are being captured behind your back. You are defenseless.

“Now!” Jungkook shouts eagerly.

Your balloons are on full display. You can’t move and there is no where to hide.

The popping sound fills the air around you and the boys are cheering loudly. “No!” You shout in disbelief as you dramatically drop to your knees in defeat.

“Game over sweetheart. I think it’s time we discuss our winnings.” Jungkook starts, a smug look plastered on his handsome face. You want nothing more than to smack him in this very moment.

He walks over to the balcony and leans over it like some kind of Godfather. “What was it she offered again Hyung?” He asks, his voice is full with sarcasm and it makes you sick. How could you have lost and to Jungkook of all people. You are deveasted

“I think it was anything we desired.” Jin speaks excitedly and you are shocked that he also taking part in gloating about beating you.

“Yup that’s sounds about right and I already know exactly what I want.” Jungkook turns around and smirks at you whilst you shoot him a glare in return.

If looks could kill, he’d be a dead man.

“This isn’t over yet…” You say through gritted teeth. “All of you better sleep with one eye open tonight. Especially you, Jimin.” You give them your warning as you stand up, brushing your bum off…

Revenge, is the only thing you can think about for the rest of the evening.

The Best of 2018

This was a hard list to compile. It was made harder by the fact that I’ve gotten a new perspective on what “The Best Movies of the Year” should be. I’ll tell you ahead of time that Green Book isn't on my list. It isn’t that, in hindsight, I feel as though it’s another example of the white savior story, or that I’m upset about the real-life Shirley family informing us that what’s happening on-screen isn’t accurate to the truth. It’s a great film with solid performances, some of the year's biggest laughs and terrific characters. I WANTED to put it on my list but also wondered if it would be a picture that endures. In 5 years, 10 years, will we look back and say “I remember who I was before Green Book, and who I was after it. The picture changed something for me.” I’m not sure I will. This feeling of change and lasting power is what I kept in mind when listing...

10. Upgrade

The vigilante revenge film is an enduring genre. We saw two others in 2018, (Death Wish and Peppermint), 2019’s already had Cold Pursuit. Upgrade tries many new things. It’s got buddy-comedy elements and winds up being one of the funniest dark movies of recent memory. It’s action sequences are dynamic and creative, the camera work top-notch. The story’s many twists and turns show much intelligence beneath what seems like a simple story. It’s not quite a game-changer but does highlight the problem with bare-bones films such as Venom (which appeared on my “worst of” list). I’ve bought it on Blu-ray and can’t wait to show it to others. I think it’s favorite just waiting to be discovered.

9. Black Panther

Now this is one people are going to remember. Yes, it might’ve featured wobbly special effects in a couple of scenes and the climax is a little generic but wow does it have an identity. From the music to the costumes to the story, everything about it stands out. Many people had been waiting decades to see it. Black Panther is the Star Wars of this year, the film which blew up and changed EVERYTHING. Within are one of the year’s best villains and a spectacular soundtrack. It elevates the superhero genre once again.

8. Crazy Rich Asians

The romantic comedy genre is largely dead. I saw a couple of them in 2018 but these were obscure, back-alley titles only hardcore fans of the genre heard of - if they even went to see them. Comedies as a whole are trying to find their footing right now, largely due to the increasingly light tone of many of Marvel’s superhero films and the high-quality children’s animated features arriving to theatres on a semi-regular rate. People don’t accept couples falling in love within an hour and a half anymore but still want to see romance on-screen, as this film proves. While it might not have been as big as Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians proves there are groups thirsting to see themselves represented in big-budget productions. Or maybe it was a success simply due to its great cast, lavish production, and laugh-out-loud moments. It’s the best date movie of 2018 by far, an unashamedly romantic 2-hour tale which features a wedding so beautiful it moved me to tears.

7. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

I'll bet money Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse wins this year’s Academy award for best animated film. Sony's take on the character has bold visuals which combine comic book art with graffiti-like graphics and a blend of 2-D and 3-D animation. It improves the material it’s based on significantly, brings us not just one but a half-dozen new, favourite characters and features an emotional story whose depth no one expected. This film uses tricks others have never even thought of and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

6. A Star is Born

Initially a shoe-in for the year’s best picture, many critics have now dismissed it because it doesn’t have a big message or isn’t politically tied to anything. So what? This directorial debut still brings forth powerful emotions and features some of the year’s best tunes. A Star is Born has single moments that once seen, cannot be forgotten. When Bradley Cooper’s Jackson Maine is at his lowest, he’s such a mess you simultaneously hate and pity him. Who would’ve thought Lady Gaga was going to be this good?

5. Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Probably the best instalment in the series - which is saying something - this is the definition of a satisfying blockbuster. It delivers the stunts, special effects, thrills, and action you crave by giving you one dazzling set piece after another. You won’t believe how this film could top itself, but it does over and over. And then, it does the unexpected and delivers great character moments as well. Many action franchses could learn from Fallout, its smart, twisty plot, expert direction and jaw-dropping stunts. It’s one of the greatest action films ever, right alongside Mad Max: Fury Road, how could it NOT be on my list?

4. The Favourite

With stellar performances from its entire cast, gorgeous and moody cinematography, lavish costumes and immersive camera work, it’s easy to get lost in Yorgos Lanthimos’ period-piece drama. Even the choice of fonts and placement of characters in the chapter cards is meticulous. It’s such a good movie to look at its demented tone takes you by surprise. Full of venom and scheming, you’re tense the whole way through, biting your nails hoping Emma Stone’s character will make it out alright, only for her dark side to come up and turn her into an even bigger monster than Rachel Weisz' Duchess of Marlborough. Meanwhile, everyone’s walking on eggshells, carefully trying to influence Queen Anne of Great Britain (Olivia Colman), a cross between a vindictive child and an incompetent ruler. It’s fascinating stuff.

3. Roma

Roma is one of the reasons it took me so long to make this list. I started watching it weeks ago and was immediately enraptured. Unfortunately, I got caught up with other business and didn’t get the chance to finish it, delaying this list once again. It’s a beautiful film both visually - I’m particularly fond of the black-and-white cinematography - and content-wise, with lasting, intimate emotional beats which put you right there in Cleo’s shoes. The instant you understand what the image on the poster means is just - wow.

2. They Shall Not Grow Old

A crowning achievement in documentary filmmaking, They Shall Not Grow Old brings history to life in ways I could’ve never envisioned. I was initially against colorizing black-and-white footage. Seeing the results - in 3D to boot - is breathtaking. The way it humanizes the people and the war is unforgettable. I think it's destined to be shown in classrooms, which might make it sound like homework, but no. This is a living, breathing documentary full of love and respect.

Runner-ups

There were a number of pictures I wish I could’ve put on the list, maybe at the #10 spot, which I reserve for films “just for me”.

A Fantastic Woman and Paddington 2 SHOULD’VE been on my list last year but weren’t for various reasons. Hopefully mentioning them now is penance enough for my mistake back then. The stylish and unique Sorry to Bother You and BlacKkKlansman deserved to be on this list too but I just couldn’t knock anything else off of it. Finally, I was immensely pleased with the new Halloween, A Simple Favour and Colette. They’re a bit more niche but if you think they’ll align with your tastes, I think are highly enjoyable. And now that we’ve stalled enough to get your anticipating peaked, let’s talk about my number 1 film…

1. The Rider

The Rider is too small to get the attention it deserves. It only played in one theater in my city, the smallest one with only a single screen. I knew it never had a shot at an Academy Awards but I don’t care about budgets or box office results. I care about how a movie makes me feel, how long it lasts and how powerful its message is. Blurring the lines between real-life and fiction, director Chloé Zhao uses untrained actors to tell a metaphor-rich story of masculinity. It’s an engrossing drama whose themes blend so well with its characters and story it seems almost effortless.

The Meme and His Tutor

Part 4: The Time Jungkook Broke His Keyboard

Recommended Song: Double Trouble by MAMAMOO

|All Chapters|

Summary:

A month had gone by and Jungkook’s English had improved.

Genre: Fluff, comedy

Pairing: Jungkook X Reader (Y/N)

Warnings: Swearing

Word Count: 1706

Length: 4/?

It had been a month since the first lesson and Jungkook's English had somewhat improved with the weekly lessons that followed. It was still broken but his vocabulary had expanded. During their last lesson, Namjoon had suggested that the next session be cancelled due to BTS's busy schedule, which you agreed to. However, about an hour later Jungkook sent you a message asking fir the lesson to be rescheduled to later in the evening instead of being cancelled. You were unsure at first, not quite believing him when he said that despite Namjoon’s absence, due to the later time, he had agreed to let Jungkook call on his own. It didn't take much to persuade you; a few smiley face emojis and one heart one (which may or may not have caused you to hit your knee as you stood up in shock). So when the familiar alert rang through the room, you were prepared for an odd lesson without your translator. You accepted the call as per usual and was greeted sight of a smiley yet tired looking Jungkook waving at you a bit sheepishly. You returned his smile.

"Annyeong Jungkook" You watched him lean forward and type something.

Ding! The message read 'Can't talk. Hyungz zleeping. Don't want to wake them up'.

You found his concern for his hyungs endearing but were confused by his use of the letter 'z' instead of 's'.

"What's with the z?" You ask.

Jungkook suddenly whipped around, head darting from side to side.

"Shhh," He hissed, a finger to his lips.

You apologise quietly. He leant forward slightly, the angle alluding to his toned chest that peaked out of a loose fitting white t-shirt, and produced a pair of headphones. Once plugged in, he offered you a thumbs up and you laugh freely.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?"

He nodded silently and looked down as he types.

'Wanted to zee you.'

In that moment you felt like you could have died happy. But you noticed the use of the 'z' again.

"Jungkook-ah, have you gotten confused with the alphabet?"

He shook his head 'no' then sent his reply. 'Broke 's' button playing Overwatch'.

You couldn't help but laugh. Of course, it was something gaming related. He looked like he wanted to say something and quickly got out his phone, typing something. Once he had finished he sent you a message.

'Iz it okay to juzt talk inztead of teach? I'm very tired.'

You looked up from the message and catch him mid-yawn. He looked exhausted with droopy eyes and slumped shoulders.

"You should go to bed. We can talk tomorrow."

He frowned deeply, 'Tomorrow buzy. Plz Noona?'

Your lips quirk into a smile.

"Sure Kookie. Tell me about your day."

You saw him get out his phone again, holding it as he typed.

'We learned new choreography today. It waz very tired. Oh, I'm uzing online interpretation in that way'

"New choreography?"

'For new album'

"That's cool!" You replied, smiling brightly hoping to pass some of your energy onto Jungkook. His lips quirked and an idea came into your head. "Can you show me?"

His eyes widened, glancing over his shoulder into the darkness.

When he turned back he was grinning. 'Ok. I'll zhow you hook'

He got up out of his seat. You watched as he danced though you could tell it was lacking energy. When he sat back down he sent you another message.

'You like?'

You smiled and nodded feeling a tad guilty for asking him to dance when he was already tired. He seemed to hesitate before sending another message.

'Noona can we be friendz?' He was looking down, twiddling his fingers as if he was nervous.

A small gasp escaped your lips. Jungkook wanted to be your friend? And...He was nervous. An easy smile found its way onto your features.

"Sure Kookie, we can be friends."

His head whipped up, headphones slipping from his ears to his neck. He grabbed them with one hand while typing with the other.

'Really?'

"In case you forgot, you are my bias. Why wouldn't I want to be your friend?"

He looked dumbfounded for a second before giving you his famous bunny grin.

'Now have cool, zmart Noona az friend and tutor'

You laughed and without thinking said, "And now I have my cute, daebak bias as my friend and tutor."

You didn't realise you'd called Jungkook cute until he typed back 'Cute?'.

You blushed scarlet, wondering how many times you were going to embarrass yourself by calling him cute to his face. You shyly nodded and could've sworn you saw his cheeks turn pink despite the dim lighting of his room.

'How waz Noona day?'

You smiled at the message, understanding that he was trying to change the topic to stop things from becoming awkward.

"My day still isn't over yet, it's only the afternoon. But so far I've slept in and gone to college."

He brought out his phone again, furiously typing for a moment. You waited patiently for him to translate and then type.

'Did you zleep well? Noona muzt rezt and ztay healthy!'

"I did." Your eyes went to the time in the corner of your screen and you couldn't help but feel guilty again. "You need to sleep too!"

He shook his head. 'I'm good. Howz college?'

You hesitated, one part of you wanted to convince him to go to bed while another more selfish part of you was thrilled that he wanted to spend more time talking to you. Evidently that side one.

"It was good. The teacher is useless so I tend to do my own thing in lessons".

He looked a little confused for a second before asking you to send your answer as a message. You saw him typing on his phone again, translating what you had said.

'No! Bad teacher! Noona go and complain!'

You sighed, thinking back to your class and pathetic excuse for a teacher.

"I can't, Kook. And it doesn't matter, I'm leaving college soon."

He raised an eyebrow. 'Zoon?'

"I finish college in set wol (3 months). But there is a short holiday coming up"

That seemed to have peaked his interest. You were pretty sure that if he was a dog you would have seen his ears perk up.

'Holiday? When?'

"In about saju (3 weeks) time"

'For how long?'

"Iju (2 weeks)"

Once again he was tapping away at his phone before smiling. 'Noona come visit'.

You were shocked to say the least "I can't afford it Kookie".

His face fell, 'Want to zee Nonna~'

You smiled sadly, "And I want to see Kookie."

He looked at his phone for a second, lips twisting as he thought something over. When you read his next message you had to stop yourself from falling out of your chair.

'I pay for you.'

"Ani-Ani-Aniya. I don't want you spending your hard earned money on me."

'Then when zee Noona?'

"Sanyeon (3 years). When I finish uni."

You saw his eyes blow wide in shock before he sent his next message.

'ZANYEON?! JINJJA?!'

He seemed to take a moment to think before a mischievous grin appeared on his face.

"What are you planning?"

'Nothing'

"Kookie"

'Not zaying'

Was he laughing?

You opened your mouth to respond when light flooded your screen. You looked to Jungkook in confusion who was hastily pulling off his headphones, holding them securely around his neck, and staring at something off to the side.

"What is it?" You said causing him to look back at you.

The newfound light allowed you to see his cheeks burning pink. Did he just get caught? Jin walking into view confirmed that he did indeed get caught. Jin said something that made Jungkook look back at him, scowling. From their hand gestures and head movements, you could tell they had started bickering with each other. But soon Jungkook look defeated and unplugged his headphones.

He must have turned his microphone back as he said "Mianhae Noona".

There was a pause.

"Ah, You Y/n?"

"Ye, Annyeonghaseyo Jin-oppa."

He crouched beside Jungkook, holding onto the desk chair as he squinted at the camera.

"Oh, you teach Jungkookie?"

You resist the urge to smile at his broken English. "Ye, mianhaeyo."

He turned to Jungkook, talking quickly and quietly with the occasional nod to you. You wondered what they were talking about, only being able to understand your own name because they were talking so fast. You grew more curious when Jin said something that caused Jungkook to frown and suddenly pinch Jin's nipple through his t-shirt.

"Yah! Naneun neoui hyung! No pinchy!"

You burst out laughing; their heads swivelling round to look at you. You desperately tried to muffle your giggles in your sleeve but it was no use and before you knew it Jungkook was laughing too. While the two of you chuckled like children, Jin was looking back and forth between you with an open mouth.

"Aish, you children!"

Jungkook clutched Jin's shoulder when more giggles wracked his body. Jin looked at him disapprovingly at Jungkook before turning his attention back to you.

"Sorry Y/n. Jungkook need sleep now. Very busy this week."

"Hyung" Jungkook complained, drawing out the one syllable word with a pout.

"It's okay, I understand it's late over there"

He looked helplessly at Jin who ruffled his hair and stood up.

"Bed."

You heard the door shut and as if proving Jin's point Jungkook let out a long yawn.

"Kookie, go to bed."

He nodded and pat down his dishevelled hair.

"Goodnight Noona. Have good day."

"Goodnight Kookie."

"Oooh wait, wait. Wanna say different."

"You want to say something different?"

He smiled then nodded. "Goodnight Y/n-chingu (Y/N friend)"

"Yah! We're not the same age! You can't call me chingu"

His nose scrunched in amusement and you had to hold back the squeal that wanted to escape.

"Goodnight y/n-chingu~" He sang, waving at you before cutting the call.

You checked the time and wondered how it had gone by so fast. As you packed away your untouched notebook you started to sing quietly to yourself and knew that today was going to be a good day.

Fear-Themed Head-canon Questions

Spiders: Does your muse squish bugs or put them outside?

{Eva}

A frown as she considers her last experience with a bug. "Squishing them is faster and easier. It's not exactly easy to take a bug outside from eight floors up. That said, I don't go out of my way to step on them outside."

{Beckett}

His shrugs nonchalantly. "I prefer it if they aren't in my space but I have no problem taking them outside."

The Dark: Did your muse sleep with a nightlight as a child?

{Eva}

"Oh, probably. My sister used to try to scare me with ghost stories and shit like that, so I slept with a nightlight. I also had glow in the dark stars all over my ceiling."

{Beckett}

He taps his chin with a long forefinger in thought. "I'm sure I did but I don't really remember. If I did, it wasn't for more than a few years past the start of school age. I grew out of those childish fears rather quickly."

Snakes: Would your muse ever keep an unusual/exotic pet?

{Eva}

She shakes her head. "No pets in the condo. We barely have enough space as it is."

{Beckett}

"My lifestyle doesn't leave much space for a pet, let alone one that would require specialized care."

Blood: What’s the worst injury your muse has ever had?

{Eva}

She tilts her head back and forth rhythmically. "Probably the one and only time I've ever gotten shot." She taps just below the joint where her shoulder meets her arm. "It was in and out pretty clean, burned like hell, bled a lot." A faint smirk. "Perp got his, though. Carmichael put him down before he could hurt anyone else."

{Beckett}

"Oh, I've broken my fair share of bones in my life. Mostly when I was a boy: bike accidents, falling out of trees, the usual sort of mischief boys get up to. I can't say which was the worst of them as they were so long ago."

Clowns: Does your muse prefer comedy? Or horror?

{Eva}

She sneers. "Neither. I prefer something easier to digest and less mind-numbing."

{Beckett}

"Comedy! I love a good laugh every now and then! Besides, my Claire can't handle horror. It gives her nightmares."

Mirrors: What is your muse’s least favorite thing about their appearance?

{Eva}

She sighs. "My ankles. They look awkward in heels."

{Beckett}

He shrugs again. "My darling Rachel has no complaints. Why should I?"

Tight Space: Does your muse ever feel that they’re not living up to their own potential?

{Eva}

She's quiet a moment and then shrugs uncomfortably. "Sometimes. There's cold cases that still keep me up at night. I feel like if I were at my peak, I'd have been able to solve them. But does that mean I've passed my peak? Or that I have yet to achieve it?"

{Beckett}

He waves his hand dismissively and grins wide. "No chance! I have a lovely wife, a beautiful daughter, and a fulfilling career. What more could I want?"

Closet Monsters: Does your muse hide any aspects of their personality/life from others?

{Eva}

She shrugs. "Who doesn't? We're all different people from friend group to work group to family group. It's what we hide that's important and I don't think I hide anything condemning from any one of them."

{Beckett}

"I have nothing to hide from anyone. I'm nothing if not completely open about who and what I am to anyone who asks."

Crowds: What does your muse think of big cities?

{Eva}

"I've lived in one my whole life, so I have nothing to compare it to. I like it, minus the propensity for higher crime rates. There's a lot of... well, everything. And it's all conveniently close to each other. I don't think I'd know what to do with more space or having to drive twenty minutes to find the nearest gas station or grocery store."

{Beckett}

"Everything is so close together, it's hard to move and breathe without feeling like you're right on top of everyone else. We're all crammed in like sardines in a tin and I don't see the appeal, really. My passions moved me out this way, though, and I'm glad to be able to chase my dreams here while providing for myself and my family, so I don't have too much to complain about."

Death: Name one thing your muse has lost that they wish they could get back.

{Eva}

"...my sister."

{Beckett}

He takes a deep breath. "Time. The time I wasted in St. Louis, in Cleveland, in Detroit. I'm much happier here and I just wish I'd found this place sooner."

Ghosts: Has your muse ever seen something they couldn’t explain?

{Eva}

"Honestly? People. I can't explain the cruelty and indifference people have for each other. It's sickening sometimes."

{Beckett}

"I have to agree with the good detective. People are far less explainable than even the most frightening monsters or aliens."

Needles: Does your muse have a strong stomach?

{Eva}

"You have to in order to be in my line of work. It doesn't mean you don't feel anything. Just means you know how to put it aside to do your job."

{Beckett}

"Certainly. Sometimes what I do can make one squeamish, but it's what I have to do and so I have to be able overcome that uncertainty and push through."

Curses: Does your muse believe in good/bad luck? How about karma?

{Eva}

"I wish I believed in karma. It would be easier to believe that karma always gets the people who deserve it most, but that just ain't the way it is. So I choose to believe in justice instead and fight for it every step of the way."

{Beckett}

"Good luck is pulling triple sevens on a slot machine. Bad luck is a freak accident that costs you everything. There's no balance, no equalizer when it comes to luck or karma. Just a cruel system that leaves the little people behind without a care. No, I don't believe in those things. I believe in what we do for each other and the impacts we have on the lives of those around us by caring."

Heights: Is your muse a risk-taker?

{Eva}

"Sure, but not in a thrill-seeking kinda way. Every time I put on this badge, I'm taking a risk that it'll be the last time. But the potential to help others beforehand is what makes it worth it, every time."

{Beckett}

"I have to in my line of work. I have to risk that I'm doing the right thing, that I'll get the right outcome, that I'm helping the right people. It's all a risk of some sort, but I don't enjoy the toss up of it. I prefer to know for sure than risk making a mistake."

Solitude: Name 3 things your muse couldn’t live without.

{Eva}

"My husband, my kids, my partner."

{Beckett}

"My wife, my daughter, my work."

Fire: Would your muse rather be very cold, or very hot?

{Eva}

"I prefer the cold, which is nice given we live so far north."

{Beckett}

"Hmm... I prefer moderate temperatures, but if I had to choose, I'd go for the cold."

Failure: Has your muse ever given up on an important dream?

{Eva}

"...catching my sister's killer."

{Beckett}

"A few, I'm sure, but you do what you must for the good of your family."

Abandonment: How would your muse win back someone who left them?

{Eva}

She rolls her eyes. "If a partner and I broke up, it was probably for good reason. I'm not going to chase after someone if they felt they were better off without me, regardless of why."

{Beckett}

He looks forlorn a moment then smiles quickly. "Oh, I don't know. If we split because we were incompatible, there's no point in trying to win them back. The same could be said for them falling out of love with me. If it was something I said or something I did, well... I'd apologize and work on my behavior, try to change so I don't hurt them again. If that didn't work, then I suppose I'd simply have to accept their decision and try to do and be better for my next partner." He stares at nothing for several seconds before shrugging. "Not that it matters. My wife and I are still very much in love and we communicate with each other openly and honestly so we know when we've done something to upset the other person without being made to feel ashamed or guilty."

The Unknown: Is your muse a philosophical person?

{Eva}

The corner of her mouth curls in a thoughtful manner. "Not really. I don't buy into the wistful why's and wherefores of the things people do. It's rarely about why they did something as much as about what they did."

{Beckett}

He smiles broadly. "I'd like to think I am. I don't know that anything I've ever said is exceptionally deep or thought-provoking but that doesn't mean I don't dabble in the philosophical now and again."

Boogeyman: What position does your muse sleep in?

{Eva}

"On my side, sometimes halfway between my side and my stomach."

{Beckett}

"Hmm. Usually I sleep on my side, facing Rachel's side of the bed."

Falling: What does your muse think about falling in love or commitment?

{Eva}

"I'm not really a romantic, but family is everything to me and commitment is important. I don't commit myself to a lot because I take it seriously when I do commit to something. I don't want to have conflicting situations if I can help it."

{Beckett}

He smiles dreamily. "There's nothing better than the feeling of falling in love or finding something/someone you love. I remember the moment I knew I was falling in love with Rachel and when they put little Claire in my arms for the first time. Those moments mean the world to me. I'm an incredibly lucky man to have them.

"Commitment is a serious thing and I don't take it lightly. I find it hard to let go when others don't keep their commitments to me or those important to me and I don't back out from my own commitments."

Change: What was a turning point in your muse’s life?

{Eva}

She grasps her right elbow with her left hand. "The day I lost my sister. It's what made me want to become a cop, so hopefully no one would ever have to go through the hell I went through as a kid."

{Beckett}

"The day my daughter was born. I was at a very low point in my life and Rachel and I were struggling to stay afloat. Her pregnancy was such a difficult time for her and I couldn't help. I was afraid we wouldn't make it. But then Claire finally came into the world and it was like everything changed. Rachel recovered, as did our relationship as a result. I got a better job where I felt like I'd found my calling. Everything got better and, at the end of it all, I had Claire."

Disease: What does your muse do on a sick day?

{Eva}

"Typically I work from home if I'm able. I don't get sick much or often anymore, but I try to work through it if I can. No sense in losing a day of work just because I'm feeling under the weather."

{Beckett}

"If I'm sick, it's because my body needs rest, so I rest. I try to keep my distance from Rachel and Claire so I don't risk getting them sick, too, usually by taking something for the illness and sleeping it off."

Number 13: Does your muse believe any superstitions?

{Eva}

She looks uncharacteristically sheepish for a second. "I run my fingers over my badge when I'm feeling nervous or frustrated or unsafe. I don't know where I picked up the habit, but it's carried me through more situations than I can count and it's kept me levelheaded and clear for all the many years I've carried it. I don't know if that counts as a superstition but I believe in it."

{Beckett}

He waves his hand. "I don't buy into superstition. Lucky number seven, breaking a mirror, that sort of thing. It's all nonsense."

Noise: Name one sound your muse finds absolutely unbearable.

{Eva}

"Construction noises. Loud machinery makes my ears ring, even if I'm not close enough to really be damaging my ears."

{Beckett}

"Fingernails on chalkboards, cutlery on plates, etc. Just thinking about the sound makes me cringe."

Insects: Name something your muse finds gross or annoying.

{Eva}

She shrugs. "Most bodily fluids don't bother me. I'm either wearing gloves or have dealt with it either as a mom or as a woman. So, if I had to pick something gross, I'd probably say... Oh, I don't know. Chewing tobacco? I don't really jive with smoking but I'm around it enough it doesn't get to me that much. But I can't understand chewing tobacco."

{Beckett}

"Mm, needles tend to get to me more than I'd care to admit, but not much really grosses me out."

Dolls: Has your muse ever collected something?

{Eva}

"My sister and I collected Barbies as kids, but what little girl doesn't? Otherwise, I don't really collect anything now or have before. My dad had a coin collection I thought was cool and I considered starting one myself, but it never went anywhere."

{Beckett}

"Trinkets, sometimes, usually for Rachel or Claire."

Getting Old: Would your muse rather live 50 years loved, or 200 years alone?

{Eva}

"Fifty years loved."

{Beckett}

"Oh absolutely fifty years loved. What's the point of living if you do it alone?"

Social Phobia: Does your muse consider themselves an outgoing person?

{Eva}

"I'm not shy if that's what you mean. I'm not sure I'd consider myself specifically outgoing but I don't shy away from things, including social interactions with new people."

{Beckett}

"I can't afford to be shy or afraid to talk to others where I work and I'm so used to it from doing it all day, that talking to complete strangers doesn't phase me at all."

‘Feud’ star Alfred Molina says ‘very little has changed’ for women in Hollywood

Alfred Molina as Robert Aldrich, Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford

Image: Suzanne Tenner/FX

Alfred Molina may have nabbed one of his finest roles yet, thanks to a filmmaker thats been dead nearly as long as the actors been working. Thats because director Robert Aldrich didint give Molina the part he is the part.

With a movie and TV career that spans nearly four decades including vivid and memorable appearances as Indiana Jones treacherous temple guide Savito in Raiders of the Lost Ark (Molinas film debut), the coked-out drug dealer Rahad in Boogie Nights, and the multi-armed supervillain Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 Molina is delivering a star turn on FXs Feud: Bette and Joan. Ironic, considering that hes playing one of Hollywoods less remembered filmmakers.

In Feud, Aldrich is caught in the middle of the acidic war of wills between aging superstars Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) and Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) during the production of his 1962 horror/thriller What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

SEE ALSO: ‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ is about so much more than Hollywood’s most infamous catfight

Today, Baby Jane is recalled as one of the finer moments from Aldrichs oeuvre more enduring in stature, perhaps, than the filmmaker himself. For while Aldrich flirted with full-on auteurism throughout his long career and made his share of top quality films including the influentially cynical Western Vera Cruz (1954), the seminal noir entry Kiss Me Deadly (1955), the Crawford-led melodrama Autumn Leaves (1956), the tense war thriller The Flight of the Phoenix (1965), the genre-defining action ensemble The Dirty Dozen (1967) and sports comedy The Longest Yard (1974) his movie resume is also a checkered one, loaded with projects that were, at best, rent-payers.

Molina portrays an Aldrich that, despite his past successes and his privileged status in Kennedy-era Hollywood, is barely hanging on to his livelihood – or genuinely creative opportunities almost to the same degree as Davis and Crawford. All three are nearly a decade or more past their primes, and desperate to wring a few more years of glory out of their Tinseltown careers.

Its a character with a deep-seated survivors mentality that Molina tells Mashable he understands and respects, even if Aldrich occasionally compromised himself to stay in the game.

What an interesting Hollywood figure today still too often overlooked for his best work for you to play, and what an interesting space he occupies between these two women at the center of the story. What was it about him that made him so compelling to you?

I think one of the first things was that very thing you just mentioned: this notion of him being caught in the center of this feud, this struggle, of these two very formidable women who are huge stars and Robert really wasnt.

Robert was always regarded very much by his peers and by the industry, as a kind of journeyman director. He worked in almost every genre imaginable. He had some successes and he had some terrible movies. He was a technician in many ways. And I dont think he ever quite enjoyed the sort of artistic esteem that a lot of other directors of his generation enjoyed. He wasnt regarded in the same kind of light as people like John Ford, or Raoul Walsh, or people like that.

He had a long career, and one that was marked by huge valleys and peaks. In fact, Im sure you know, after what happened to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? he went on and made some very good movies into the early 70s.

So I think what makes him fascinating is that, although hes very prominent in the story, because he very much is caught in between these two women, hes sort of anonymous, and kind of in the shadows they suck all of the oxygen out of the room. Hes very much trying hard to be a referee, in a sense, between the two, and trying to keep both parties happy and satisfied.

It showed to me what happens when someone is so desperate to get the project made. His priority was always the movie. He sacrificed a marriage to make movies; he sacrificed a relationship with his children; he sacrificed many relationships in order to get movies made. He was very much a product of his time, in that sense. That was his focus, to get the work. In those days, it was possible for men to do that. We live in a very different time now.

I think what makes him interesting is how he was, to me, the epitome of a survivor. Ive always been attracted to those kinds of characters, people who are just kind of getting by, people who are struggling against all kinds of forces, whether they be physical, or emotional, or artistic, or intellectual, whatever. Its the struggle to achieve whats important in the face of what seems to be insurmountable odds.

He also has this interesting position of being morally compromised, both in his life with his family through absence and infidelity, and in the way that hes expected to keep fanning this flame of hatred between the two actresses…

I think what makes that really interesting to play, in terms of the actor playing the role, is all the kinds of conflicting emotions that turns up. As you say, he was morally compromised. He felt very guilty about it. He also was very conflicted about creating and contributing to this tension and animosity that was building between Joan and Bette, for the sake of getting better footage and so on.

I think he felt very conflicted. I think he would have much rather not have done that. But the truth is, he did do it. So hes not just morally compromised, but you could argue morally implicated. I think that kind of contradiction, that kind of paradox, is what makes characters interesting to play.

SEE ALSO: ‘Feud’ star Jessica Lange on the ways Hollywood is still failing women

I remember, years ago, being told by a director, If you make a list of everything a character does and says, and a list of everything that he does and says to other people, youll find all kinds of contradictions. Its in those contradictions, thats where all the creative meat is, in terms of playing that character.

I think theres a lot of richness there. His need to make the film, and at the same time, his obligation to his family that was one conflict. His need to survive in an industry that was forgetting him to a certain extent, and his own morality about how to do that another conflict. Theres a lot of juice in that stew, if you know what I mean.

And he had an interesting sexual and romantic life, in that its suggested very strongly that he had a relationship with Joan Crawford at some point, and we see in the show that he has a romantic fling with Bette Davis. Tell me about that: for a journeyman director, to still be able to use that position of power and his own personal charm to cultivate that aspect of his life.

It was interesting from a historical point of view, in that period, that men could get away with that. Its not so interesting that he may or may not have had all these affairs. Whats interesting is that he was living and working in an era where that was possible, and how it was taken for granted that men could do that.

SEE ALSO: Prince Charles and Princess Diana will be Ryan Murphy’s next ‘Feud’

I think one of the most interesting things about the show is how it really highlights the position of women in show business and in the film industry of that era, and how very little has changed for them, in terms of how theyre perceived, how theyre used, how they are, to a certain extent, manipulated in order for the movies to make money and so on, and very little has changed. The disparity in pay scale is a perfect example of that. Also in terms of whats acceptable for women to be able to do on film, and whats acceptable for men to do on film. All of these things, these are all facts that existed then.

I think Robert clearly had all kinds of relationships with women, and certainly a relationship with both Joan and Bette at different times. I think what we tried to do in the show was to show how that was very much a product of the time, was part of his moral ambiguity, and also very typical of the era.

That desperate quality that you mentioned really comes through in the scenes that you share with Stanley Tucci as studio head Jack Warner. Its always such a delicious back and forth.

Its great fun to play, as you can imagine. Theres a kind of jousting that goes on when you get a chance to do that as an actor. And if youre working with someone whos as good as Stanley, it just raises your game.

When I was at drama school, I remember being told by one of my professors, As you go through your career, always try and work with people that are better than you. He used a tennis analogy, which was, You only get better as a tennis player if you play with people that you know are going to beat the shit out of you, because you just constantly have to raise your game. You cant sit back on your success.

Alfred Molina and Stanley Tucci

Image: fx

Stanley is such a fantastic actor. Hes so smart and fast. He thinks very quickly. He can improvise deliciously. Ive worked with Stanley before, and this is why Ive always enjoyed it so much, is that Im acting on my toes with Stanley. Im always waiting for the next surprise, and its fantastic.

Given the material that we had in Feud, it just made it even more delicious. Those scenes are so beautifully written in terms of this relationship that is not based on love or mutual respect, or even friendliness. Its a relationship thats based on a kind of mutual need, where they didnt like each other, clearly, but they both saw in the other something that the other one needed.

As the story evolves throughout the rest of the season theres an interesting shift in the statements in the room between Jack Warner and Bob Aldrich. Those scenes are just great fun to do.

Have you ever been involved in a project where the behind-the-scenes activity was anywhere near as poisonous as what we see in Feud? Youve made a lot of films and television shows over the years; has that been part of your experience?

No. Ive never experienced anything anywhere near the toxicity between two actors as on What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. Ive been around actors and directors who have had issues with each other, thats for sure. But thats to be expected. That would happen I think in any job, in any company.

Ive never experienced anything quite so vitriolic or vicious or ongoing as that. Ive seen actors sort of lose their tempers, or get upset at something, but usually its over as quick as its happened. No, Ive never experienced anything quite like that.

I should rephrase that: Ive never experienced anything anywhere near that. Quite like that sounds like, Well, maybe… But no, I really havent. [Laughs]
