“Hey, love, how was school?” He called out from the kitchen and you all but bounced into the room. 
“I got on the cheer team!” You said excitedly.
“That’s amazing! I’m so proud of you, baby.” You could tell his tone was genuine, but he was still focused on whatever food he was preparing. 
“Turn around, daddy.” You giggled and he set down the knife before turning to face you. His eyes widened and his lips parted in shock as he took in your clothes— your body. “Do you like it?” You asked, twirling around for him to see the whole thing.
“I-it’s… a little short, don’t you think?” He choked out. 
“Well duh. How else would I do this?” You showed him a kick and his gaze snapped down to where the skirt rode up, exposing your matching shorts. 
“You have to wear this for everything?”
“We have a long sleeved top for the winter time, but yeah.” You smiled. “What do you think?” 
“C’mere, love.” You walked over and stood in front of him, waiting. He started on your waist, then dragged his hands down to your hips, his thumbs rubbing over the exposed skin of your tummy. He suddenly got down on his knees and moved his hands to just above your ankles. He snaked them up your legs, teasing you, until they reached the bottom of the skirt. 
“Daddy?” 
“Shh… I'm just getting a closer look, baby.” Duh. What else would he be doing? You thought with an internal chuckle. His hands moved up to your hips, over the skirt, then snaked behind you. 
“Daddy!” You gasped when he squeezed your ass and pulled you closer.
“Turn around.” He ordered, moving his hands to your hips to start turning you. Once you were facing away from him, he was groping you again and you bit your lip to contain any sounds. “Bend over.” He said suddenly. 
“W-what?” 
“Bend over. You can lean on the counter if that’s easier.” Hesitantly, you obeyed. You leaned down and placed your hands on the counter. “Further.” With a blush of embarrassment, you lowered yourself so that your arms were crossed, resting on the counter, holding up your chin. 
“This is what counts as school appropriate nowadays?” He scoffed, making your blush darken. “The skirt doesn’t cover anything.” 
“T-that’s what the shorts are for.” You said quietly. 
“I’d hardly call these shorts.” He was groping your ass again now, this time under the skirt. “They’re so fucking tight.” He gruffed. “I can see the outline of your pussy.” His thumb brushed over your mound, making you shoot up. 
“Daddy!” 
“Down.” You froze when you heard his tone, then slowly lowered yourself back down. He reached under the fabric where your ass met your thighs, then took it in a firm grip and roughly pulled up, making you gasp and grab onto the counter. His hands settled on your bare ass and you couldn't help the way you started squirming. The fabric of your shorts and underwear being pressed so tightly against you was almost painful, but it made you needy too. 
“Every little immature boy at your school is going to want a piece of this.” He removed a hand, but brought it back down quickly, with a sharp smack. You jolted and gasped out a moan, caught off guard by the sudden pain. “I can’t let that happen, baby. But I‘m not gonna make you quit, not when I know how happy it makes you.” Another slap. “I’m gonna make sure you won’t let any boys come near this pussy.” Another slap, then his thumb was brushing over your mound again. 
“Please,” You whined, but it cut off into a choked moan when he spanked you again, twice in quick succession. “Won’t let any boys come near it!” You tried, gripping onto the counter when he spanked you again, but he wasn’t listening. He ignored you and continued toying with your ass, sometimes squeezing it, but mostly spanking it. “It hurts, daddy.” You whimpered. 
“Does it, baby?” He asked innocently, making you pout. 
“Yeah…” 
“You can handle a little more.” He decided, then continued until your ass felt hot and your clit was throbbing and your eyes were watering. “Such a good girl.” He mumbled, rubbing soothing hands over the burning skin, but his touch was just making it hurt more. “I’m sorry, baby. You know I hate when I have to punish you, but you need to learn.” 
“I know..” You whimpered, then his hands were gone. You heard him standing up and he grabbed your hips to push you closer to the counter. “Are you done?” You asked quietly. 
“Not yet, love.” You dreaded having to endure even more spanking. When you heard his belt, you stiffened. Next was his zipper, then fabric was rustling a little and he reached for your shorts again. He looped one hand through both of the leg holes, making the pressure on your clit get a little harder. 
When he suddenly lifted you up, a pained cry left you as your shorts and underwear were forced deeper between your ass and even between your folds. Your feet were barely touching the ground and you reached back to try and push him away, but he just landed another slap on your ass. 
“Stay still.” 
“I-it hurts, daddy… I can’t.” You whimpered. In response, he adjusted his grip and lifted you up even more, making you cry out. The very tips of your shoes were barely still on the floor and the pressure on your clit was becoming more of a painful pleasure now. Emphasis on ‘painful.’  
When you felt him press up against you, your breath caught in your throat. He still had his underwear on, but he was grinding his bulge on your pussy because of how high he was holding you. His free hand grabbed your hips to stabilize you as he sped up. 
“Daddy…” You whined. Everything was so contradictory. Your ass was still burning, as was your clit from the prolonged wedgie, but it also felt good as he rubbed his bulge against it. You didn’t know what to think. You didn’t even know if you wanted him to stop or do more.
“I know, baby… Just a little longer.” He said quietly. Letting out a low groan, he continued humping you, his breathing getting more and more ragged. He moved the hand on your hip to help hold your shorts and underwear, then took a couple steps back. When you weren’t being supported by the counter anymore, you fell forward with a scream, your whole body weight now being held by the wedgie. You grabbed onto the counter to lift yourself up a little so your face wasn’t inches above the floor, but you couldn’t get close enough to put any weight on it. 
“Daddy! Daddy— wait!” You cried out, making him moan at your struggling. His hips got more desperate, rutting against your clothed heat, making you more desperate as well. 
You tried squirming, but he just lifted you even higher. Your feet kicked around as you tried hopelessly to find some footing, now being completely suspended. 
“Please! It hurts!” You whined loudly, but he ignored you. “Please, daddy! I can’t take it anymore..” 
“Shh… Yes you can, love. I’m almost done.” He cursed under his breath and his movements sped up even more. “Such a good fucking pussy.” He groaned under his breath. 
“Who’s allowed to touch you here?” He asked, clearer now. 
“You!”
“Who owns this fucking cunt?” 
“Y-you..” You whimpered, hoping if you just agreed to everything that he’d give you mercy. 
“That’s right, baby. Your body is only for daddy to touch, okay?” You were nodding before he could even finish. 
“Yes— yes.. Please let me down now.” You rushed out. You’ve learned your lesson by now— you won’t let anyone come near you. His hips stopped, but he didn’t drop you. Instead, he stayed pressed up against your cunt, then started bouncing you up and down by your shorts and underwear, stimulating his cock like that instead. Each time you went down, a sharp cry was forced out of you. You could feel tears in your eyes again as the pain got worse and worse. He started rutting into you, but still moved you up and down, never even faltering. 
“Please!” You cried. He moved you forward again so you were bent over the counter. Your feet still weren’t touching the floor, but at least some of the weight was taken off. 
“Fuck—” He choked out, panting and moaning quietly. He took a step back and removed one hand, making you drop a little so that your toes were now on the floor. Then his moans were getting louder and louder until you felt heat spurting all over your ass. You whined and squirmed as your whole face heated up from humiliation. He cursed under his breath and slowly lowered you, releasing your shorts. He panted for another moment, then tugged your stretched out shorts and underwear back down, over his come. You felt completely and utterly used. But you also felt completely and utterly desperate for more. 
“That’s better. Covers more of your ass now.” He said through a breath, giving you one last spank. 
I fucking hate the title lol so give me ideas for a new one💀🙏🏻

Savior (Part 1)
Dark!Emmett x Reader
Word count: +2,394
Warning(s) in chapter: +18, Non con, Breeding, Forced Breeding, Minor character deaths, Kidnapping, Mentions of past character death, Murder.
Author's Note(s): I'm still riding the Cillian high.
It was summertime in Akron, NY. Life was simple, peaceful, was. You were excited to be starting as an elementary school teacher. Until they arrived, death Angels, they were called. Slaughtering anyone and anything in sight that made sound. There was only one thing you could do, and that was to survive.
Tumblr media
It's been 474 days since the apocalypses began. Winter was approaching, so you and your group decided to venture out. You were careful with each step. Who knows when or where a creature would be lurking. They're quick and stealthy. Almost silent. A mistake your teammate makes resulted in your entire team's demise.
A sudden trip on a hidden string causes a wind chime to clatter down, purposely alerting the creatures. Before your team has a chance to escape, they were quickly dragged off by the creatures. One by one their screams were heard. You ran, as fast as you could. Until your legs almost gave out. You couldn't believe it. Everyone, everyone was gone. You were all alone, dealing with the aftermath of yet another loss.
The adrenaline still pumping though your veins as you took each step. You hadn't even realized the hidden beartrap until it was too late. It takes every ounce of your energy not to scream in pain. You force yourself to swallow it down, muffling a cry. Fat tears role down your cheeks. It takes you a while to compose yourself. After that the realization hits. You were trapped in the middle of nowhere. With only a backpack filled with medical supplies.
This was it, this time, you would surely die. A deep feeling of dread consumes all your senses as you wobble to a sitting position, the pain becoming excruciating. You really did try your best to stay alive. But when your vision begins to blur, you embrace the darkness, letting it consume you.
Tumblr media
When you had woken up your body felt heavy. A throbbing pain pulses though your head. It was hard even trying to lift yourself from the bed. Wait, what? You swiftly lift yourself up, looking around to find out just where the hell you were. How the hell did you end up here?!
"You were out for a while," a voice calls. You turn around to find a man seated at a desk, just now finishing up his meal. He's dressed from head to toe. His outgrown beard covers most of his features. A trucker's hat covering the top of his head. It was hard to tell what he looked like in the dark, "Here," he hands you a bowl, it's canned soup. You hesitantly take it from him, "Thank you..." eating it with careful bites.
Tumblr media
You notice him still staring but choose to ignore it. He was kind enough to save you back there. Surely he wasn't so bad. Emmett recognizes you the moment he found you lying unconscious at the front of his hideout. For a moment, he thought you were surely gone. Until he hears a faint whine escapes your lips. He doesn't know why he decided to drag you inside. Maybe he just needed a sign.
"Your friends they uh, they didn't make it," feeling sorry for what he'd just said. Your heart broke for them. One small mistake costed them their lives. A part of you carried survivor's guilt with you. Thankfully you weren't alone. He was at the right time and place. When you try kicking your legs out of bed a sharp pain hits one of them. A painful grunt escapes your lips.
You with certain now, your foot was broken, small jagged cuts decorate the heel and ankle. It seems as though he tried to help, "I did my best to stop the bleeding but...'m not a miracle worker," his voice is deep, raspy with age and time. It sounded too familiar. That's when it hits you, "Emmett?" There was no doubt, you were sure it was your old neighbor. Hell, you used to babysit his boys. Your brows furrow, now worried, "What happened to...?"
"Gone, I lost the boys to those things, and Nora, she couldn't take it..." his eyes start to glisten. His once lively spirit now the shell of a man he used to be. He's taken aback when you start to cry, "I'm so sorry Emmett..." you cried, "I loved them so much..." mourning the loss of his family. He knows very well, his boys were fond of you. Even asking if you could be their teacher for the next school year. You even applied to an open position for the upcoming fall. After all this time fate still had a way with bringing people together.
Tumblr media
Emmett lets you rest up for a few days while out on a supply run. He even left a few supplies and food by your bedside. You wanted to know where you were, but with your leg being in the condition that it was, it was impossible. For now, it was best to rest while it heals. You didn't want to weigh him down.
In the meantime, you try different ways to stay busy. Each day completing at least two to three tasks around the room. Whether it was stretching, exercising, or attempting to walk again. Soon enough you were able to limp for a certain amount of time. Emmett was sweet enough to get you a crutch.
As time passed, you began to make yourself comfortable. Its been a while since you’ve arrived. To the point where the two of you had a daily routine. Emmett would be out, either hunting or gathering food and supplies. While you stayed to look over the compound. When Emmett would arrive after a long day of work, he'd come home find a homecooked meal waiting. It's been a while since he’s had a proper meal.
Tumblr media
Emmett halts at the door, watching as you hum a tune while finishing up dinner. You sat on a wheeled office chair while getting the plates ready. He approaches you from behind, "Here, let me," carrying dinner to the table. The both of you ate in silence. But it wasn't awkward, you both enjoyed each other's company. You're the first one to speak up, "Hey so..." starting the conversation, "As soon as my leg heals, would it be alright if I come help?"
Emmett couldn't hide the look of disapproval on his face. He doesn't think you're ready, or even fit to go out there, "No,"
"No? Why? I can walk now and--" "No, final answer,"
"Are you serious?"
"As serious as I can be,"
Tumblr media
"But it was only one time! They didn't get me--"
"It's not just the monsters you should be worried about..." he pauses, "...the people, they're not the same," as if it were coming from experience, "Look at your leg, you think a monster did that?" he scoffs. You were the last thing that reminding him of how kind life was before. He can't risk losing the little beacon of light left. Not again.
Emmett won't admit it, but it was lonely during the past few months. You made it all the more bearable. Something stirred inside of him. Just the thought of a pretty little thing waiting for him at home. He felt guilty. As if he didn't deserve a second chance. So, what does he do when confronted with a problem? He avoids it altogether. Emmett would spend hours going on raids just to avoid being in the house. Being alone with a pretty little thing like you would only lead to trouble.
It's been a while since he'd been with someone. During a supply run he'd found a few magazines to help, but it hadn't done the job. They weren't the same. Not even close. He can't even remember the last time he's emptied himself deep inside a pussy. His breathing becomes shallow from the thought of it.
"Emmett?" you tilt your head. Shit, what did you say? "I asked if you wanted more," scooting the bowl of stew towards him. He's flustered, "Sure thing," when he reaches for it his calloused hand brushes against yours. He's in awe by how soft it is. You were this ethereal being, who just so happened to stumble upon his hideout. He quickly retrieves his hand. Not wanting to make you uncomfortable. But did he really want that?
It was just the two of you all alone down here. He's much stronger than you. If he wanted, he could just take you, right here right now. And there would be no one to stop him. He imagines you on your knees, looking up at him with that innocent look. Shit...he has it, bad.
He can't decide if it was pure desire, or simply part of his nature to breed. You were already a natural playing the role of a homemaker. It's not like there was anything else to worry about. He would take care of you. He'll provide you with anything you need. All you had to do was give him a little something in return. Just once wouldn't hurt. As you ready yourself for bed, you notice Emmett still standing there. You turn towards him, curious of what he was doing. He pulls out a thin metal chain. What was that for?
"Please, don't fight it..." he nears. At that moment your heart sunk. Emmett held the metal in his hands, "You already know I'm stronger, so don't try to stop me," nearing the edge of the bed. You look at him with a look of dread, "Emmett?" eyeing the chain cautiously, "W-what are you doing?"
"Sh... just let it happen..." he nears, "I promise you I'll take good care of you, you'll never want anything else,"
"Emmett? No..." tears began to form. You couldn't run away from him, not with a limp. All you could do was scurry to the corner of the bed. Emmett links the chain to bottom of the metal bedframe. He held your good ankle in hand before linking it to the cuff. You're well aware he's much stronger, he even carried you all the way down here. He straddles your waist, and you scream profanities, lashing out at the man you once called a friend.
Emmett tries pleading with you to hear him out, he tries to muffle your screams with his hand. But instead, you retaliate by biting it. He grunts in pain, now retrieving it. He's not amused at all by your little rebellious stunt. This wasn't you. He doesn't have time for any temper tantrums. He's not angry, only determined, "Fine, have it your way," he's done having to fight for what's rightfully his.
He could've let you die out there, just like your teammates. It was your fault for trespassing, you were the ones who triggered his trap. Instead, he'd given you a new purpose in life. You'll never be exposed to the dangers of the outside world again. He'll make sure of it.
During the past few months, Emmett went absolutely feral. He couldn't keep his hands off you. Just this morning, you'd woken up to him buried deep inside you pussy, grunting like some sort of animal in a rut as he pounded that tight little cunt of yours. Still half asleep, you tried your best to ignore him. But when he raises your leg over his shoulder to deepen the thrusts, you couldn't hold it in. Small grunts escape your lips as you turn your head to the side, avoiding his gaze.
He leans in, "Hey...hey pretty girl, don't hide from me..." a hand cups the side of your cheek, turning you to face him. He looks down at you with hooded eyes, his hips still jutting in and out your channel. You were just starting to get used to his pace when suddenly he starts picking up speed. Your hands reach out to halt his movements, but he wrenches them off. Now pinning them to your sides as he chases his climax.
You feel the familiar sensation of his spunk now filling your womb. It's hot and sticky, some of it drips down and staining the sheets, "Fuck..." Emmett knew he should've laid out a towel. By now there was a small puddle of your juices mixed together. He would have to see if there were any blankets during his next run.
"Sh... just go back to sleep," he whispers. He couldn't help himself. He was tired and sore after spending most of the day scavenging for supplies. But as soon as he saw you sleeping soundly, in that sexy slip-on he’d gifted a while back, well, he just couldn't help himself. Is it not in his nature? There was no way you didn't know the power you had on him. He sighs, admiring your bow tuckered form.
It was a smart idea chaining you to the bed post. That reminds him, the purpose of today's trip. Emmett retrieves a salve from his bag. He starts rubbing it into the raw skin of your ankle before covering it with a gauze, "I'm sorry..."
"No, you're not…" you whisper to him. You're right, he's not. He kept both of your hands wrapped up in fabric bindings, so that you wouldn't hurt him or yourself. At first, he didn't mind the scratches, but when you almost claw his eyes out, that's when the idea had struck.
Emmett had warned you that the people weren't the same since then, including himself. He won't admit it, but as soon as he laid eyes on your unconscious form, the only thing he could think of was planting his seed deep inside you. He knew it was a good idea to save you, or was it you who saved him?

Things Between Us | Cillian Murphy x OC
Chapter 9 : After Goodbye
Tumblr media
New Ross Hotel, Ireland
Cillian traveled from London to a hotel in New Ross. that the team had prepared for him to rest for filming the movie over the next two months. He lay on the bed, exhausted and weak, his eyes staring at the ceiling and thinking about various stories. Happening today and the night before! Damn it! He swears. Cillian couldn't help but feel happy. ' I'm starting to miss you again! ' He muttered to himself.
When thinking about the past He was crazy about Sansa. Even though he had just recently gotten to know and have a deep relationship with her, he felt like this girl from the first time he saw him. The more he became Her first man! That made him fall in love with her to the point that he couldn't withdraw now.
Sigh!!! He sighed, stopping to think about her for a moment.
Cillian began to return to serious mode. Prepare for work tomorrow He picked up the script and reviewed it. To understand the role he was given in a movie in which he acted about. He plays the role of Bill Furlong, a coal merchant exposes the bad things of that church. He had to read and prepare for the character he was given and had to start filming tomorrow morning. Because of this, he had to concentrate on his work very much. Because he is a professional actor
His first day on the job was rough. They continued filming until 2:00 a.m. Return to the hotel and go to bed to rest. Then wake up early and go straight to filming the next day. He works repeatedly. Like this every day! Until the fourth day of filming had passed. It is now six o'clock. Cillian didn't have a scene until 7 p.m. giving him time to rest and making him think of that girl Sansa!
"Crazy!" He cursed angrily. Cillian had completely forgotten her. He didn't call her at all. From the day he and she said goodbye to each other That day he told Sansa before leaving that I'll call you! But he hasn't called or contacted her at all. He felt guilty! Cillian immediately picked up his cell phone and called her.
The first call went through…………. Sansa didn't answer.
The second and third calls ........... She still didn't answer.
The young actor quickly dug through her business card in her bag to see her email address.
To. Sansa Arthur " Hello, Sansa. I'm Cillian. How are you? I miss you so much. If you received this email Please call me back. "
He immediately sent an email.
"Cillian, it's time for your scene." The staff walked in and called out to the older male actor. This caused him to put his cell phone away and return to the scene.
Cillian spent over three hours filming the scene at the bar. The time now is 10 p.m. He returned to the cast room to see if Sansa had called him back. There are no incoming calls. There was only one email showing on his phone screen. He picked it up and read it expectantly.
To. Cillian Murphy " Hello Cillian. I'm fine. I just wanted to let you know. I have decided not to contact you any further. I'm here to review the past. Makes me think How inappropriate are we for each other? You are a very famous person. If someone finds out about us It must be very bad for you, so I think the following: We'd better not meet again. Goodbye, Cillian. I'm glad I sat next to you that day. in that restaurant! "
Cillian read the email twice. With a heart that falls to the ground, He felt confused. and it was like being punched in the tip of the chin. Before he could think of anything else, he was called to the set again! He couldn't concentrate at all. ' Dammit! ' Cillian said the wrong lines several times. Until he loudly cursed in anger at himself!
“Fuck!!” He was irritated and tired.
Until Steve had to come over to talk.
" Hey! What's wrong with you ?! You don't seem distracted. Would you like to take a break first?"
"I feel a little sick, Steve." He responded to a screenwriter friend.
Steve looked down at the clock.
"oh! It's already midnight. We had been filming for twelve hours. It's better to end the group today so you can rest." he told his fellow actors, patting his shoulder.
"Thank you very much. I need a break." Cillian walked out of the scene. Ready to pack up and return to the accommodation immediately.
Cillian lay down. Still wearing the character's outfit like that. ' Let's not meet again!! ' He reviewed the letters.
He sat and decided for a long time what to do next. Should he call her or email her back? But then he thought about it.
'this! What's wrong with him?' Cillian questioned himself. He had never shot a filming set before. Because it doesn't look professional. This is the first time! That he's like this And that made him very upset. The young actor decided to Get up and pick up the script to read and understand it again.
He practiced his lines like that for most of the night. ' He must be a professional.' Cillian thought and fell asleep.
The next day
Today he is ready to continue filming as usual. Cillian concentrated returned to focus and did his best throughout the day. Because it was the last day of filming of the week before he had a break this coming weekend, he was going to have a break...!

I'm devastated because my first one just got deleted before I even had a chance to send it and it had many paragraphs... Anyways I will write it again 😭
I think her favorite ex was fabien considering back to december but atj and ben barnes is on the list too 👀
Charlotte & Selena and her hanging out together??? ICONIC. I love when women get messy tbh. We need more cuntresses in this bad world.
Dupe might trying to act unbothered but we know (everyone tbh) she's shaking, crying, vomiting, banging her head against the door every night (as well as charles) because at the end of the day she was also a fan and imagine getting in a feud with your fav when you also know you will inevitably lose at some point 🤭 she's just trying stall everyone atp.
Charles is making me ???? more in every update because my brother in Christ (I don't believe in anything tbh) why don't you say or do anything???? You fumbled THE bad bitch, lost most of your friends, made public enemy #1 in a few months and still no comment from your side? Not even a single one? Are they keeping you hostage because it's weird now??? Even your mother still liking and commenting on your ex gf's pictures (especially the one where she debuted her revenge era) your brother is still in contact with her... I know he realized what a big mistake he did but it's too late now. Cry about it honestly.
I hope lando will push him into barriers or something but considering it's ferrari it won't be that hard. I think the new season hasn't begin yet in this au so I have an idea: when she get a new boo, upgraded one, they should get invite by some team in the new season. And just imagine... They are walking through the paddock or etc, being THE iconic couple, and dupe and her bf just sees them... I know one of them or both of them wouldn't shut up and and her new boo just defends her while being the biggest simp??? He's like "I know my gf doesn't need protection from anyone but I will be damned if I let her ex bf who's gonna throw up in a second and her dupe to talk shit about her.." so in short : SHE NEEDS A SIMP.
So let's get into the new boo discussion 👀. One thing my mother (taylor) taught me is that you should never get back with your ex because you tried to work it out once and it didn't work, who's gonna say it will work the second time? Yes you can make up and be friends with them again but I don't think getting back together with one of her exes is what she needs right now. IMO she needs someone entirely new and will be the biggest simp for her. But you need to make a survey or smth for potential new bf options because girl everyone has an idea and all of it makes sense 😭😭
Michael b. jordan would be perfect tbh. Their age is similar, he's def a upgrade, I see the potential. But I don't think he fits with the pretty girl friend x obsessed boy friend trope tho. Still it's your choice so imma just put it out there 👀
Cillian murhpy while is an amazing man he wouldn't do drama... Though his dry tone and dry insults would probably make charles cry so it's a plus. But I don't think she would go out with someone who's older than her father tbh 😭 at least not after dicaprio now we know...
Henry cavill is so respectful tho he doesn't do drama too 😭 we need someone who will get messy without a fear and and being a simp without a doubt.
Also what about skarsgard brothers 👀 bill has a dry sense of humour and style too but alexander would troll the shit out charles so... Tho alexander is older than nando 😭😭
Anyways I can't wait for the next update, I don't why but I'm so invested in this story like you have no idea omg.
🦋
wait this is so thought out. you made some really valid points too😭

SOUTH PARK: a note to God in the procession of heart and KEANU REEVES (season 16 ep 9) prt 1.
film making is a quality to be endured. a baby walking is just the same as Keanu Reeves fight scene in a single shot.
now watch me dance, watch me talk and watch how you will never grow up like the holy director, Mr. James. Cameron<3
Tumblr media
Cartman tried to instigate the viewers heart in a joke but like all jokes take a dimensional hit (offense), Keanu Reeves wakes up one morning and thinks 'who is the actual viewer?' and he later turns to the British public he calls 'Americans' in which he reflects himself off from everyday inside a dome.
Tumblr media
enough about Keanu, Hollywood is just an American store (trader joes, Costco, or any other branch that provides excessive weight gain but no heart or guilty pleasure to give a fck about or why are you even there.....) Hollywood teaches you that everything in there you feed off is a store, your weight is gained by how much you eat without giving a shit, without giving a shit about your diet, about your family's lives, you'll just eat yourself to death which is why you keep trading your body parts for....... a... heart?.... but... they don't want it...so they'll do the second... best thing.. which is.... pray?????????? the islamic re-introduction is how and why Cillian Murphy is now exalted on Islamic bias cuz all he does is stare at a screen and moves on with it, the man does not speak or do anything, it's why Keanu Reeves is into gun porn and Cillian just makes guns that doesn't involve porn, he knows what not to do which is why i'm technically the second best coming to Keanu Reeves life cuz he got no shit compared to what he did in the past 25+ years compared to one dog year in Cillian's life is 'how the fck did you sell your soul and keep yourself so cool that way, why don't you want to just play with a gun... oh' (Keanu's dialogue to Cillian almost all the time after Keanu saw me get an award for being best actor on the Oscars for... doing the.... oh... Keanu realised that Cillian does not do but he says lines that are too meaningful... no. he knows how to hide his beauty by exposing it, Cillian is a regular woman outside of Hollywood to Keanu's butch lesbian and nobody wants him and he is long gone old and forgetting)
Tumblr media
STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA IS PLAYING AT THE BACKGROUND, MY LORD💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 he wanders to believe in a new future as 'that guy' *that's the subtext of 'what if Keanu Reeves were a different man but the same man died in him a while ago since Alexandra Grant did not use her pension privileges to manifest social media to her life right now*
Alexandra Grant is one of the team, she knew shit to go back after shit to smell shit in the air. she calls it oxygen and to her it has a 'strange smell'
Tumblr media
if you did not know who James Cameron is then you're wrong to think Mel Gibson was uprooting his idea to produce Titanic to make people think differently about him now by taking his ide.... no. Mel Gibson, once upon a time i watched a Simpsons episode on Mel Gibson and i referenced SP for it, and it's not as crazy as Mel Gibson to remake Homer's idea for everyone that they'll be laughing at for the next 20 years which is a Hollywood day and it was one longest day because actually, James Cameron did not direct the Titanic, he went after the ship to look at in the end, Mel Gibson directed it and Homer Simpson directed the episode of SP with Cartman playing today's society's problematic scheme cuz the moment endured is when stupid men are the smartest men in the world cuz he is a girl. dad. THEY KNOW HOW TO RUN THE WORLD. SIMPSONS PLAY YOUR MIND, MEL GIBSON WENT THERE AND GONE BUT SP IS FOREVER AND JAMES CAMERON LIKED SHIPS
Tumblr media
this episode (season 11 ep 1) is actually directed by Stone and Parker (South Park creators to you dumbasses who don't know who the legends you tried to watch in secret when your mothers are gone, she knows your porno stash too but is being a good Dad while you hate your actual Mom (Dad)
Tumblr media
(Simpson as acting 'Stone and Parker' makes a reasonable offence to honour the actual movie he 'made' with Gibson in the 90's version, make it preachy to give offence to actual state of guard, like what the hell was he trying to claim the senate for, what and why did Cartman (Gibson) was claiming the overall attitude in the UK was possessing the ideals of the overall limits in UK if it wasn't there, how the fck did the 3rd countries become okay with... Pakistan? Kyrgyzstan?...... *gracie films end credits shows up*

socially recluse hasbeen Gomez and what her ideology is just as fucked up as Tom Cruise promoting Catholicism like it wasn't even there cuz how is a rich homemade woman like her have a brand associated with a genetic condition she doesn't even fcking have
Tumblr media
like what the fck is that?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
weight = goals. the picture you see is just me but you would say if 'Rare' came to help her, a second forthcoming brand of grandeur and hope that would have saved millions if she was not as Honey Boo Boo's style of 'healthy'. HBB promotes heart and grandeur, like youth needs to be reclaimed with greatness, a happy father and a trustworthy mother is what you call 'Rare'
Tumblr media
just imagine how many people said 'and I'll bet there's somebody else out there, to tell me I'm rare, to make me feel rare', with that kind of voice, you could have set old ideals apart and put the astrologer become wholesome man in the end (i got your back) Tom Cruise out of his job, like there wasn't anyone out there like Selena who would have saved Demi's life from a tragic overdose in twenty eighte- wait, Selena created the universe. let's make her think she was the most illuminated form in the world that could have saved her from an impending doom from Bieber's tragic fairytale that could have been in the Holy hell of forever from 'somebody' killing her from another likely to Lovato's actual appearance (healthy people to her is those who like people)
Tumblr media
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WORLD OF AN ACTUAL MAN. NOT DIRECTOR, BUT ASSOCIATE.. NO, JUST AN ACTUAL MAN TO A CELEBRITY THAT ACTED LIKE HE HAD A GREAT HOBBY MANIFESTED TO A LIFE JOURNEY HE CAN NEVER FORGET, WHAT IF HE HAD A ☆DREAM☆
Tumblr media
Keanu's orgasm is just 'what if i was a working class man'
Tumblr media
47 Ronin does not limit, he only shed James Cameron's light by taking away the actual personification of the universe if he were not James Cameron, like there is much more than the empires told from just Japanese myths and fables about you not giving a shit, i understand when Hiroyuki Sanada committed casually because the arts of Japanese social justice came from and i remember (paraphrased cuz the movie was a long ago since i watched it) 'farmers hands got more value cuz clean hands are of ones like a pig' and it hit me in the face when nothing more than Keanu wanted was to think the world of 'demons' were just Muslim women liking to work for a living which has had so much hands and art than the average man, casually; Keanu made fun of Pashtun's (tribe in Pakistan that has more heart and heritage than Keanu's life in one go if Ted had a philosophical reason to go back, he would have learned on how to be a better man. but the idea solidified and went to the worlds most unexpected. (welcome aboard, girls) Bill and Ted in real life is just Syd&Olivia)
they are the worlds most stoned people in the planet in need of a heart breaking in a heart breaking, they like a casually off standish old man who doesn't give a shit and makes the world look like the fucking crime seeking justice they need (i love you, man) let me introduce you to
youtube
Malcolm fucking Tucker. is Rufus, George Carlin's biggest dream come true is a man of oxygen relating to the women his age and just beating life up senselessly in modern day America, not just a pornographic nightmare they had in the 80's in time travel (God forgive Alex Winter)
Tumblr media
that guy, in case your dumbasses forgot names of celebrities you forget but never forgot. (the phase where you don't want to call out a celebrities name but you already know, shows that you're in love but who the fuck calls it that anymore, women are sad. they don't want sex but someone out there, call him granddad but
Tumblr media
this guy ain't your age either, and neither is he granddad, call him how you want it but if you like someone, you like them but you like them cuz the amount of energy it takes... you watched it havent you? so you hate Malcolm Tucker but like him as the.. no. you don't deserve him, he ain't your Daddy. no. he OWNS YOU like the mega corporations he has under his big di-)
Tumblr media
same fucking guy which is why you like Ted but you hate Bill, and that says something cuz you hate Ted but you don't want Bill to like Bill cuz DILF Bill is much more... call him ugly you stupid sonofabitch. some depressed Keanu fangirl, fuck you
Tumblr media
ummmmmmm. how is your rights not even.. just drink.. water (Cartman makes changes and Kyle hates.. him?... is the show even real anymore or is Kyle the most irritating.... wait a sec he's not even there anymore...??.............)

Tumblr media
SAG-AFTRA mocks AI but ends up building a quality of life of an average 'Brit'. makes a truthful (mockumentary) also follows the breakthrough of satanic comeuppance of a melodic dinosaur, Randy Newman is the guest host of the body of the heartbreaker (life was a toy story but only adults pretend to get the reference, so you're not even a true Disney Pixar fan either, HA ha)
porno is toys but you're too dumb to make that reference (fuck you Zoe Lewis)
Tumblr media
viewers forget that Token (Tolkien for the Rwandan kind)
Tumblr media
is rich.
how did a black man change the show when the concept of the whole fucking Song
Tumblr media
is based on River Song's timeline.
Randy Newman generated a new psycho-neo cult that manifested on the Doctor's timeline that Black people (alt-white) have a goal that they would actually shut people up forever.... and of course Ncuti (pronounced 'shootee') is scoring up a future River Song regenerate to get laid with him on-screen cuz the nigga finessed a shot that wasn't even his cuz the creators of South Park made evidence that James Cameron's dream was to recast Titanic like one brown and one black to be together like that, Shootee doesn't want to fucking tell anybody why he's on Tumblr right now waiting for my post to come through when i discovered the anima-
Kingston said 'keep moving *makes a contorted face to mimic me cuz i know Kingston in real life.*
yeah, Shootee. that message was for you and it was personal. she really would have digged in on big black productions
Tumblr media
keep writing fan fictions cuz this could be you one day. do you remember when time magazine put you guys as 'person of the year' in the year 2006? why did you not put that up on your CV or Resume to keep you looking classy, this is no generative score that you could have been... an asshole.. but you're.. the worlds most... greatest asshole
youtube
like where the hell is your honour
Tumblr media
*cartoon in moral dilemma when the story never ends with toys but the player doesn't know when to stop giving in*, so Newman is technically me right now. it's all the kids who grew up with action figures being the guise of 'youth and giving in' does not appeal to them anymore but it's the ones who played way too much (actors) that appeared to be deeper than literal filmmakers (sorry Cameron) that made directors wonder why Cillian Murphy got an Oscar when his personality looks like this.
time stamp (16:10 - 16:48)
Tumblr media
Goddamn
Tumblr media
Keanu's pandemonium. and Cameron's retelling of the Titanic with the actual ship he found, he will later know his life's work with Cillian is actually worth it because he has got more Vanguard than Keanu's award worth mentioning or making the original South Park creators look like Daedalus to Keanu's Icarus. there is no retelling where and how Perdix became Weinsteins transitioning to Bruce Jenner's homophobia down at the lakes at the Hampton's when he decides to drop tha bar of soap.
this is kids entertainment to disgust adult minds, like have you seen the actual thought process of what went into the kids shows today that makes it look so damn innocent? that's what happens if the creators of South Park convince you 'anyone can watch it, just turn it off or fuck you for not telling them that YOU loved them' the paedophilia persona comes from unwarranted parents now who are excruciatingly jealous of their kids success that wants society to fuck them over because they don't have a brain or actual heart to do anything about their lives either.
(i will do another part)

thoughts on the oscar winners?
I never saw the hype for Oppenheimer so the only thing I think I support their team winning is Cillian. He wholly deserved that.
RDJ was a career Oscar for a subpar performance and he is an asshole so I'm always gonna trash that; Charles Melton should've been there in general and Mark Ruffalo or Bobby D or Sterling alll deserved the award more than him.
Happy for Da'Vine, The Holdovers has a lot of BTS issues that make the movie impossible for me to enjoy now (director has been accused of assault) but she was great.
I used to think Lily was a lock (like weeks ago, based on her awards showing), but between reality checks from more (rightfully) skeptical poc and the fact that Michelle Yeoh won last year and Da'Vine won for best supporting... yeah. The Academy wasn't going to give it to Lily, even though she absolutely deserved it. Emma was being set up as the "palatable" alternative this entire awards season.
So yeah. The Academy is 80%+ white last I checked; they could let Lily get thisclose but they weren't going to let her take it. It's very grim.

A double feature post for a double feature day
(aka my thoughts on this week's So Help Me Todd and the Elsbeth premiere other than I wish both those shows a long and happy runtime together as they're perfect for each other #renewsohelpmetodd #sohelpmetodds3)
So Help Me Todd
Is it just me or was Susan the only chick with good fashion game this episode as you had Margaret and her giant bow on her shirt, Francey's neon pants, Belinda's consistently obnoxious pattern-mixing and even Alex's weird sleeves and for Margaret and Francey (idr about Alex) this wasn't their first fashion offense (yeah there's Allison but she just kinda dresses normal)
Speaking of aesthetics, I repeat again that Lyle's mustache needs to die. My mom who I watch SHMT with says if he had to have facial hair a goatee might work but not this.
I feel like Belinda was intended to be a similar kind of dramatic-foil to Margaret that Todd is to Lyle
So Heather Morris finally shows up...and she's basically playing the Cassandra Cillian to Todd's Ezekiel Jones, interested to see where this goes
Love that Margaret's almost-Mary-Poppins-level-full-of-stuff purse was a Chekhov's Gun
I hate to paraphrase a meme but what da forensic accountant doin'? Is Alex up to no good, is she trying to mess with Beverly the way Beverly's seemingly doing to the entire firm, or is the truth far more complicated
But if she is genuinely a good guy I'm kinda rooting for Lylex, it seems like such a super cute vibe
Elsbeth
If this is truly metaphorically the genderbent Columbo, Tumblr should be all over this
We're barely into the intro-showing-the-crime and Mom's already critiquing the murderer by saying things like would they check to see what's in her system and what suicidal person (like what he's trying to give the impression of) googles "how to commit suicide"
Intro-to-episode/show-proper with the hip hop tour bus setting the tone nicely I see for what's to come
Not saying Elsbeth has any particular neurodivergencies unless she's been canonically diagnosed with anything (though if this show goes on for as long as I'd like it to, if there's enough of a case for anything in particular they could have an adult-diagnosis arc like I'm hoping So Help Me Todd might have if it goes on for as long as I'd like with Todd with ADHD or Lyle or Lawrence with autism) but I have the kind of autism some people call aspergers and some call high-functioning autism as well as Inattentive Type ADHD that used to be called ADD and I've never felt so "seen" by a "quirky crime-solver character" in my life
On the one hand sucks about the giant gap until start proper on the other hand now I have time to binge The Good Wife
Maybe it's just my particular neurodivergencies but the one thing I hated is is a howdunnit supposed to make you internally yell at the TV
I like that what appears to be going to be her cop-partner-person is a woman of color as seeing a female-female lead team in a crime show like this is about as rare as having one where the quirky outsider person is a woman no matter what their partner is
Unless I misheard something did Captain Wagner seriously threaten to shoot Elsbeth if she didn't stay in her lane or w/e, if the mythology's going to involve him being corrupt that better get addressed

"I've been interested in Oppenheimer for some time. We put it in Tenet as a, you know, an analogy, but this idea of the moment where Oppenheimer and his team couldn't entirely rule out the idea that when they let off that first device, they'd start a chain reaction that would destroy the world; that just seemed like the most incredible moment in time to take the audience to - be in that room with them."
"You know, when I'm writing I try to be disciplined and not write with actors in mind, because then you're writing something you've already seen them do, and it's limited. But when you finish the script, then for me, I was adapting the book 'American Prometheus' and the book's sitting there with the real Robert Oppenheimer staring out with this incredible sort of blue-eyed stare from the cover of that book and I thought: 'Well, I know who could do that.' And I've been lucky enough to work with Cillian for - twenty years now?"
"Yeah."
"And - but never in a leading role. And this time I got to, to make that call and say: "Yeah, this is the one. You're going to take centre stage and you get to really carry the audience with you on this journey.""
"You see how I just got out of his light?"
"I mean, that was one of the great days; you have a few of those in your career and that was; that's been the best so far. I mean, in typical Chris fashion there's no like, text or preamble - 'I might be writing something' - it just came straight out of the blue, so it was a shocker, yeah. But like, the best type of shocker, you know?"
"No texting."
"Yeah, I love a good protagonist. Just to double-up on Cillian's - mine was: I read the script, I was mind-blown and then Chris said: "Will you do it?" So, forget texts and all that, he cuts right to the chase, but he's literally, for a director, he's very direct and it's why everything like you said, Matt, by the time I got to set you said: "Downey, everything happens in front of the camera; you're going to love this." You said to me, Emily, you said: "I'm telling you, this is going to be a life-changing experience." Of course he already knew, but then he was in front of it, and that was the real joy; was to show up for someone we all admire and watch him carry the ball..."
"He looks great in a hat."
"It was Chris' script. It was an extraordinary part. She's a fireball and complicated and not the archetypal sort of conformist of 50s housewife, you know? He's her fourth husband at 29, but I, I think they were like, like comets coming together and she was clearly a monumental presence in his life, but not an easy woman. I read this line in 'American Prometheus' that Chris encouraged us to read and it said 'she didn't do small talk, she only did big talk' - and it was so emblematic of the character really. But, I mean I just had the best dialogue and the best scenes and I think my scenes with Cillian were very emotional and wrought and, and exciting. It's where you see the, the intimacy of this man; you see the private life and the trauma of a brain like that, and it was just so exciting to get to work with Cill again and we - I'd loved working with him on A Quiet Place II, and I think having that trust and secret language we already had established was huge. You know - jumping into this world of tempestuous couple; I remember Chris saying when we did the camera test, we were in our prosthetics and Chris went: "God, I'd never want to have them over for a dinner party." Who'd want the Oppenheimer's coming over, you know?"
"You'd have to and you know it would like, get messy."
"Yeah, yeah. I mean, to echo what Downey was saying, Chris is very direct; like when he offered me 'Interstellar' years ago, he said: "You know, they say there are no small parts, there are only small actors", and I'm like "Yeah", and he goes: "This is a small part." So, so when he came with this one, we talked and, and he said: "You know, the book is 'American Prometheus', it's this great Pulitzer prize winning book." He goes: "I'm not calling the movie that, I'm calling it 'Oppenheimer' because it has to be entirely - it is going to be through his eyes." And when I read the script, I'd never seen this before - it was written in the first person. Never seen that before and it gave you as a reader the, that visceral, that subjective Oppenheimer experience, so instead of going: 'Oppenheimer across to the window', it says: 'I, I walk towards the window' and you're, you know, it just had this kind of immediate see - kind of visceral, punch. And so you could see what he was trying to communicate to us and to his crew like: 'This is what the movie is gonna be', and he said: "What I need are actors in support of that. This entire thing is going on Cillian's back, and I need you guys to support that, right?" And so that was really; that's a great kind of marching order - very, you know, actionable for us and, and easy to understand and every day I was like: 'All right, how can I help that?'"
"How can I get more lines?"
"'How can I get more lines?' But, but watching the two of them, because it really is a partnership at that level, when you see a movie of this scale, that is fearless enough to live in quiet moments, in, you know, in IMAX on his face, and with everything that's going on, I mean the most impossible moral quandaries you know, and, and live there, it's about these two guys being so locked in together and, and watching them build that together, and then watching Chris build a movie around that performance was, was the rush. So in my case it was yeah, you know, I'm one of the spokes of the wheel, and the tension between us is that, is that you know the military is obviously obsessed with secrecy and compartmentalization and, as you say the liberal scientists are like you know: 'Open the kimono, let's share all of our, our knowledge so that we can get to the answer.' And so there was this kind of natural tension, but despite that, these two guys actually really liked and respected each other, even though nobody else liked Groves. So that was the fun thing to play; I never had a character who was so brusque and blunt and just didn't give a shit, you know? Because to be liked, it was so far down on his list of objectives like, if you asked him: "Do people like you?", he would probably look at you like: 'I don't even understand the question.' You know what I mean? Because what they were doing was so consequential, I mean Chris has said, he's been on record saying Oppenheimer's the most important person to live in the last hundred years if not ever, and this movie is about the most important things human beings did perhaps in the, in you know, the history of the species. And so to be part of a movie that's telling that story, with a director who's at the absolute height of his abilities, you know with, with, with a chance to support that performance which to me is one of the great performances I've ever seen on screen, was thrilling so -"
"And this is the man who colonised Mars."
"And I had no supporting cast."
"I think Mr. Nolan, maestro, is a, a singular storyteller in that all of his movies, even at, you know, the most obvious one being the spinning top at the end of 'Inception', it's always inviting conversation. He's always presuming the audience wants to be elevated to a place where there's a dialogue that continues on. And then this is kind of the natural progression, you know, and I think about like: 'What was Kubrick doing before he decided to make - you know, pick one of his films and you just; you're just glad that there is this progression. But yeah, for sure, I mean we're excited by it and it's, it's a rollercoaster of just an experience cinematically, but it also is that thing that I think - that's why you're responding the way you are. You know, we want - we want to be challenged by cinema at its best."
"I would've taken it."
"We were all in New Mexico like, eating quesadillas and he was like in his room eating an almond."
"By the way, he declined every dinner invitation for the entire film. We invited him to dinner every night; he never came once."
"The only thing Chris would do by text was his daily calorie count."
"Well the approach I always take is do as much research as you possibly can, and there's so much out there about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. There's, there's so much archival footage out there you can, you can access, and you know, obviously I read the book, but for me the most important resource was the script. You know, that's what I really worked on, and I had six months from when Chris called me unexpectedly and - to when we started shooting - to work on it. Having said that, I think when you get on the floor with actors like these guys, and with Chris, you kind of just put that aside and it all becomes kind of about the moment and the truth, and the emotion between the, the actors and that was just, every day it was - it was a gift. You know, I can't give you one specific point, but there was many scenes in the film, like with Robert and with Emily and with Matt like, they were just kind of electric; you could kind of feel it fizzing, and at that point, yeah, it isn't intellectual, it's kind of instinctual and, and emotional."
"Well I've used IMAX for years and, IMAX film is, is the highest quality imaging format ever devised. And what that gives you is access to the audience's perceptions; it takes the screen away. I refer to it as sort of 3D without the glasses. You know, you're just looking at a crystal clear, sharp image and we've used it in the past for a lot of action; we've used it for the grand vistas, and my director of photography, Hoyte van Hoytema and myself, you know, we knew we would get New Mexico that way. We would get the storms, we would get the desolation of where they, they built Los Alamos. But what we both got really excited about is: 'How can it, how can this format help give us access to Oppenheimer's thought process? How can it help us really peer into his soul?' You know - what happens when you apply that grand format to intimacy, to what these guys are doing, you know, to really seeing the world through his eyes and trying to pick up the different layers of, of what everybody is thinking and feeling and all of the conflicts and paradoxical situations and, and ethical dilemmas that are going on. And we found that the format is a powerful tool for all aspects of, of cinema really; and cinema is just about storytelling and it's more than anything about the human element."
"It's like how, how did they do that? But the, the like, I love like, like Downey's character, he's obsessed with this conversation that these two great scientists have. It's like, it's about the, the bigness and greatness of men in this - and women - in this smallness of us, you know what I mean? Like, human beings are just so - you know yes, to your point, it is, it, it, it, it, it - it's; there's a reason he wrote about it in Tenet, there's a reason it's in our movie. It's because it's, it's kind of a central conundrum like how, how they press the button anyway. How would you do that if there was any possibility, at all, that you could wipe the species off the planet? Like -"
"And they were taking bets on it."
"Yeah."
"That's the crazy thing."
"Well, I just also want to say the, the, the, the, the incredible brilliance of Opper - Oppenheimer, but yet his naivety, right, to go to, to, think that this, this is gonna end, perhaps end all wars. There's a moment in the movie that I love which is when the genie's out of the bottle and Oppenheimer realises that he has no control over, of it when he comes and says to me: "Should I come to Washington?" and I look at him and I go: "Why?" And you just realise: 'Oh my God, they're done with him.'"
"Yeah."
"You know now, now this thing is a reality and it exists in the world and he, and he, he has no control over it. And yet in his own kind of innocent and beautiful way, you know, he was the only person who could've helped create it, but kind of of thought it might be a force for good and like, what a ridiculous thought in retrospect - but what a; you know it's - it's so tragic and so kind of beautifully human at the same time."
"Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, totally. Well I mean, we were kind of trying to play the kind of interior I suppose; you know it was - it was to internalize the performance a lot. I think that's what we were certainly trying to do and, you know, certainly with all those amazing close-ups that Chris uses with, on the IMAX camera. Yeah, but that's that - they're the brilliant characters, you know, the ones that have that huge complexity and ambiguity and contradictions and I don't know - we just kind of had to plot our way through it, particularly when you're shooting out of order as well. You know; trying to figure it all out, where he stood emotionally and morally at each point in the story, is very, very complex; certainly the most complex character I've ever approached."
"Yeah, you told us a few weeks ago that there was something he said, which I loved, about that he's a chess player and not a boxer."
"That was, that was, that was in a scene we had, remember that? That was early on, and I think I came in a bit heavy in that scene and you said to me: "Yeah Cill, he's not a - he's not a boxer, he's a chess player." That's just an example of one of the unbelievably brilliant, precise - "
"Which gives you total permission as an actor by the way -"
"Yeah."
" - to just let the entire thing come to you."
"But it just can turn a performance like, completely on it's axis."
"One sentence can just - yeah."
"Pretty good at that."
"Well that's very kind of you to say. But the thing about that; not shooting in order, and you having to figure out that puzzle for yourself -"
"Yeah."
" - and you know, I'm there on set, trying to gauge that for the audience, I'm just sort of some of the audiences' - "
"Yeah."
" - eyes on set, but it's really not until we get in the edit suite and sit there with Jen Lane who's cutting the film, and then we see what all of you've done and it starts to fit together, and you see the work that's gone in. Because I get to take that for granted when I work with people this good; they turn up to set, they do their thing - it seems simple, it often seems effortless, and then you get in the edit suite and you see how it relates to something an hour away in the film - and there's where you start to see the work that, that these guys have put in."
"Well Benny, I mean I, I called Paul Thomas Anderson - he, Benny had just done Licorice Pizza - and I'm a big fan of Benny as a director, and you know, I called Paul and was like, before I'd seen the film, you know: "What do you think?" And he's like: "He's the best; you'll - you'll love him." He was absolutely right and Benny, you know when I met Benny, it became clear that he had almost become a physicist. He literally had a moment in his life where he's like: 'It's physics or it's, you know, filmmaking.' And so this was sort of - "
"That worked out the best for all of us."
"No he's - he was fabulous but the, the thing I had done at the script stage is I had decided, it's a risk and, you know, I'm hoping the audience enjoys this - I didn't make composite characters so we have a lot of people; got a lot of young, new faces, we've got a lot of stuff going on, and you're trying to cast people with a particular energy that's memorable, and fits the character. And I've worked with my casting director John Papsidera since 'Memento', and so he's brilliant at just finding all kinds of choices. And I get in the room with actors, I try to cast in person not, you know, not doing it all remotely and everything, and you try to sort of feel the energy of those people. And you get, you know, somebody like Alden Ehrenreich who comes and, and - "
"Just brings so much to the film."
"Yeah, I think particularly kind of, at the you know, later on in the movie and during the hearings, I think his passive approach must've just infuriated her, and you see it infuriate her because there's a directness and a forcefulness to the character; and conviction. She's got real conviction about everything from drinking to, you know, being hard on him, and so I think that's where you see the storm of the relationship start to kind of build; but you see loyalty and the fight that she has for him and - I think she worshipped him. I think she thought he was incredible and yeah, I think those scenes have impact in the film because she's maybe one of the only people who will just say what everyone else wishes they could, you know?"
"That's; that's a hard thing to answer without giving away, giving away the tricks. The visual effects supervisor was the first person after Emma, my producer, that I showed the script to, because I said to him: "You know, I want you to take computer graphics off the table and think long and hard, you know, over a series of months, do some experiments and figure out ways in which we can show Oppenheimer's interior state; his visualizing of atomic behaviour, of quantum physics, and then carry that thread right the way through to its ultimate expression in the extreme beauty and terror of the Trinity test - the first time that human beings saw nuclear energy released in, in that form. And so we worked long and hard on some things that were very, very small and some things that were very, very big - and we got out there in that desert with these guys and you know, we, we went through our own sort of mini version of that Trinity test, where you're all out there in the desert in the middle of the night, in your bunkers very, very focused on what's going to happen and making sure that it's being done safely and carefully, but done on a, on a suitably grand scale."
"I call it N.A.R. - No Acting Required. You just show up, you put on your, your wardrobe and you go on out and yeah - enjoy the show."
"Yeah, I kind of agree with Matt. I think you just have to - I don't remember us talking very much on that, that evening or those few nights that we were out because you're aware of what this means and what actually went down, and how like, the world changed completely from what happened there. So again, it goes back to what I was saying earlier; it wasn't a kind of an intellectual approach, it was more of just like an emotional approach - because we all knew; I think everybody, when we were out there on those nights in the desert, kind of knew what we were portraying so -"
"You're also putting yourself in that head, that headspace - "
"Yeah."
" - that, that, the anxiety like of what must have been, I, I, I - the most profound anxiety, fear, you know, hope; ever, everything that they had riding on this. You know, it was years of their lives, it was billions of dollars like just - that's what Groves' thinking right? He's probably thinking about how much it cost, but you know, they're also thinking: 'Wait a minute - we might end civilization'."
"Yeah."
"I don't like to be too specific about these things - I'm not making a documentary or a didactic statement or sending a specific message. To me the most interesting cinematic stories, they involve you in the characters' dilemmas, they take you on that journey and then if those stories have something to them - and this is one of the great dramatic stories of, of all time I think - it leaves you with resonances; interesting questions, ways in which it interacts with our own lives and the way, you know, we live our lives and what we worry about and what we care about. But no, I don't want to be too specific about it, I wanna - it's more, as Cillian was saying earlier, it's more of an emotional approach than an intellectual approach. You have the research, you have the history of the facts of the story, but you want the audience to feel it and you want it to leave them with a set of sensations and feelings."

Just gonna talk about my current WIP
... and life. Because this is a nice cozy place where I can do that and only one of you knows me IRL.
Tumblr media
So, in July, I was laid off. Well, my team was laid off. One of the many casualties in the "who needs DEI" wave. I can't even be particularly mad about it because that job was horrible. I dreaded work every day and I'm pretty sure that had I stayed, my health would have suffered more than it already had.
Then came the burnout. That shit hit me like a freight train. I've spent the majority of the last 2.5 months trying to give myself space to rest as much as possible (while also job hunting because I'm not exactly in a position that I can just BE unemployed). And y'all, rest is hard. Like really hard. But we're working on it.
While I 100% view this as a time I can and must rest, it also feels like an opportunity to actually focus on writing.
Hell, if I'm being honest, it feels like the universe went, "You said you would do this if you only had time to dedicate to it. Here you go." Now I've just gotta do the thing. Which... is also hard.
I've had several WIPs bubbling away for years now. Ones I've shared with folks, ones people ask me about. But the one I'm focusing on right now I haven't shared with anyone.
It's too personal, but not in a way that folks would assume. It's not autobiographical (though it is set just outside of Boston, where I'm now calling home) or anything of that sort. It's simply that I'm so in love with the two main characters I'm nervous to say anything about the story to folks close to me until it's finished.
But no one is likely to see this so I'm gonna share a bit here:
Toni. Bless Toni. She's a little me and probably a little you too. The definition of someone running toward something even though far too many people think she's running away. She is a woman who refuses to accept good enough and deals with the repercussions of that--especially as a fat woman (a through line in most of my femme MCs). In her case, she chose to end a relationship with a man most people considered a catch--ya know a catch who thought he could convince her to have a baby she said she didn't want--and move across the country rather than allow herself to stay in a situation that made her miserable. Now, alone--save for her best friend a few towns over--she's rebuilding her life and unpacking the baggage that says she's unreasonable and unreliable for choosing her happiness.
And y'all... Cillian. Lord. He's a local boy--complete with that Bahston accent--and built like a tank. Everyone around him can see how golden his heart is, not because he wears it on his sleeve but because he has an aura of goodness that is almost impossible to miss. Were you to tell him that, he'd tell you you're full of shit. The thing about Cillian is that he's the kind of good that comes from going through hell. In his case, hell was literal war. Now, 10 years out of the military and 8 sober, he's still reconciling with parts of himself he'd rather bury. Think a little Bucky Barnes with a dash of Frank Castle and then the rest, well the rest is just Cillian: The boy who should have been a musician, not a soldier. The man who runs his family's bar and escapes to his property in New Hampshire when the world is too much. The 6'2" 275lb brick of muscle that collects floral robes and buys expensive sheets and falls so in love with a gorgeous plus size powerhouse of a woman that it undoes him a little.
I love them. I love how they're going to open up with one another, to allow the other to see the parts of them that are still bleeding and know that it will be ok.
(They also fuck like rockstars so there's that.)
I'm still working on the first draft, but I think I can have it done in the next couple of weeks. From there, revisions and then MAYBE eyes that aren't mine.
Hopefully, someone other than me cares about their slow conversations, the softness of their fall, the low stakes but high emotion of it all.
-sigh-
Anyway. That's been my world of late. Thanks for being the void tumblr.
Love ya.

For the ask game: 🤡 💞😬🧠
Hi Jenksel!
What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
This one from A Redshirt, a Clone Trooper, and a Russian Stargate Team Walk into a Bar
BOSS: So you’re telling me some redshirts, some clone troopers, and a Russion stargate team all went into a bar.
INVESTIGATOR: Yes?
BOSS: And they were the only ones to walk out?
INVESTIGATOR: That is correct, sir.
BOSS: Well that’s one for the records.
Who's your comfort character?
Right now? Definitely Dick Grayson. Like so much. Previous ones included: Cassandra Cillian, Parker, Eliot Spencer, Sophie Devereaux, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?
Literally all of them. But if I had to pick just one I have to chose I’m Falling for you (Now we’re both Falling). It's my favorite fic I've ever written and the one I think is best (love my writing partner Milma so much) but that's what makes it so horrible. It's our baby and I couldn't imagine anyone hurting me with it. Plus I wrote some more spicy pining in it and I'm still really embarrassed by it.
Pick a character and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.
Since I was not given a character I'm gonna do Jenkins. And my favorite headcanon for him is that he adores gardening. Like it's his comfort activity.

Okay so starting Chapter Seven and things seem pretty clear at the moment.
Patrick and Aisling seem like a right pair and I honestly love everything about their interactions and how authentic it all feels.
Bridget meanwhile is giving me the distinct impression that a Russian match wouldn't be out of the question and I'm interested to see if this leads to anything.
Now as for the Fitzgeralds. My oh my, these definitely seem like my kind of people. I mean Liam is just a howl with all the ribbing of Patrick and seems like an absolute catch, while Lydia comes across as someone I could enjoy causing chaos with. I'll most definitely be watching out to see what mischief these two create.
But that leaves Niall and Cillian. Now of course it's no surprise that Kelly offspring is looking to stir up trouble given that Patrick is stealing his woman, but just how much trouble is he planning to create and could he try adding Niall and Aisling to his team in the hopes of finishing off the Doyles once and for all? This I'm thinking could be the most interesting plot here especially with Niall's insistence on carrying on the Red Trade. It will be exciting to see what's planned here and how Patrick deals with all of it.
I must tell you, my beloved @americasass81 that I would pay good money to watch you and Lydia tear it up one night. And by "good money," I mean the cash I'd have to raise to bail you two out of jail, but it would be worth it. Lydia is actually based on @nildespirandum and knowing that Lydia and Nil are so similar only reinforces my belief that I would be raising bail money for you two...

"The Librarians and the Disenchanted Forest":
I think Eve is trying to give Flynn's resignation the benefit of the doubt by saying "it was to cut down the number of Librarians," but A) you don't know that because he didn't talk to you, B) Jenkins, who DID hear more of his doubts pre-resignation, thought he was mainly freaking out about the tethering (which, to be clear, is valid but different), and C) Eve. Why would you TELL the children about the Librarian Civil War like it was a legitimate concern, this isn't helping.
And again, if Flynn were really willing to resign over the civil war concerns, there are better solutions than "make the others resign too"! You have three left then—one can tether, one can be the mortal Librarian, and the one left should at least see if they could get reassigned to Guardian. Then you have two pairs, one active, and one tethered, and everything is status quo.
(Though, again, I really don't see WHY this is such a concern. Yes, one of them could go evil! A sole Librarian could also go evil just as easily, right? What, because the joint Librarians were corrupted last time, they automatically will in this case too? I'm with Jenkins, this whole thing is silly.)
Yes, Eve, talking SENSE. As I expected! Fate and Destiny and Prophecy are immeasurably weaker than Eve's stubborn drive to hold on to her family. That's how it works.
HOWEVER. Genuinely and unironically responding to her magic family-team's internal Fate and Destiny and Prophecy-fueled internal crisis by dragging them to a team-building retreat is SO FUNNY. And somehow also very Eve.
I mean yes, technically the Library sent them to a team-building retreat, but Eve is using it.
"I hate camp" Ezekiel, have you... have you been to summer camp? When? How?
Cassandra "my urge to recapture my missed childhood is drowning out literally everything else" Cillian is a very refreshing switch from the Crisis.
Throw three geniuses and one very competitive Colonel into a puzzle competition and everything else is instantly forgotten. Of course.
Yyyyeah, telling Spooky Indian Campfire Stories around Stone is not going to go smoothly. Saw that coming.
Okay, Ezekiel's starting to genuinely not have a good time I think. Maybe two pranks is his limit.
"When did I become the adult?" Good question, Ezekiel! Precedent suggests some kind of personality-altering magic may be at work on everyone else.
Stone: "OH NO. A PRETTY GIRL QUOTING POETRY. MY TWO WEAKNESSES"
I... think this is the first time Ezekiel has ever said something he was doing wasn't fun. Wow.
Oh right, I guess DOSA does still exist. :/
Oh hey, a Lois Lane! They're always trouble.
Aww, Ezekiel and Cassandra. :( I see where they're both coming from... (and honestly, I think they're just two different responses to the same problem of No Childhood)
Oh, the trees are attacking? Fun if true.
Ezekiel has at some point taught Stone to pick locks.
...Combined with the fact that we know he gave Jenkins lockpicks for Christmas... has Ezekiel at some point given Lockpicks and Training Therein to all his teammates? Was this his one-size-fits-all Christmas present one year, or did he just do it gradually as occasion arose?
Eve: HOW DARE ROMANCE EXIST. ROMANCE IS BAD. ONLY THE TEAM EXISTS
"I took Flynn back every time" Eve, I love you, Flynn absolutely should have talked to you, and also I understand you're not obligated to be a 100% reliable narrator right now. But... half the time you break up with him.
Bro, you can't show the investigative reporter the Magical Secret World she's been searching for and then tell her she can never reveal its existence. That's not fair.
"Librarians can't have personal lives" I know Flynn is a convincing case study, but. Charlene was married for a while. I think it's at least possible for your everyday Librarian to work out something sustainable.

Who would you like to see as Bond next? Or some Bond villains?
I am fully behind Aaron Taylor Johnson as Bond now. I'm Team ATJ.
For Bond villains I'd love to see: Tim Roth, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Stephen Graham, Terence Stamp, Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Song Kang-Ho, Renate Reinsve, David Oyelowo, Cillian Murphy, maybe even Michael Stuhlbarg

I agree with Anon point about Cillian Murphy, and this is why many don't believe him when he says he wants and likes his privacy. There are so many actors out there who don't make their personal life public. They only focus on the acting part because that is what they enjoy and that's why they care about. They don't care about the fame, so they don't play the PR game. Even without playing the PR and fame game these actors still get jobs, (actually I would say most of them get better roles than those who do play the game). Look at Daniel Day Lewis, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Keanu Reeves who is known as the nicest dude but that wasn't created by him or his team but by the public because of stories that have been passed around the internet. I would say even to an extent Leo, yes we know his love of young models and the environment, but other than that how much of his private life do we know about. Chris and his team are a big reason why his personal life becomes so public. He himself allowed to be branded this Disney prince, internet boyfriend, dog loving, family guy so he had to play into that, which means he had to put stuff out there that depicted him that way. I'm not saying he isn't all those things, but that it was used to create this image of him. There's a lot of actors that are all those things too, but choose not to publicly declare it. This doesn't mean Chris loves his family more than the other people, it just means those people don't want the world watching. And it also maybe means the Chris does want some level of fame compared to those that are only focused on the acting part of Hollywood.
When you become the internet's anything you should expect some levels of public involvement. Not saying that's right especially the stalking, but it is well known that crazy people are out there, so you should be careful about what you release. And yes, maybe he didn't have the pull to say "No" back then, but I think he does have the say now. He can say no when it comes to including his nephews/nieces or other weird PR moves. Because I do believe certain celebrities do have choices in what PR thwy want to participate in and he is at that level now.
Really enjoying these thoughtful asks! A lot I need to think about and digest.

so i know the globes are no longer relevant (or at least they shouldn't be) but i will still be asking for your thoughts on the nominations.
Hahahaha thanks for your consideration!
Best Picture--Drama: I'm so glad to see Past Lives nominated! It was really gorgeous and made me cry and was touching in a way I didn't expect.
Oppenheimer obviously was going to get nominated. It's probably my favorite Nolan movie besides The Prestige (which SLAPS) so I'm fine with this. It is very impressive, even if it's a sausage fest per Nolan and it probably runs too long and has some issues (the depiction of women).
Kills of the Flower Moon... is one of my favorite movies this year. I will acknowledge critiques from Osage people noting that it is a white perspective, which I agree with; I also agree with the comments that it is the best possible perspective someone like Scorsese could offer. The acting is phenomenal across the board, the visuals are stunning, it actually EARNED its runtime, and the writing is really strong. Fantastic movie, should win this category in my opinion.
I haven't seen Maestro but based on the various issues I'm seeing surrounding it and Bradley Cooper doing... the most... for promo, I'm very turned off by it right now. I will see it in order to critique it honestly, but I'm not super thrilled to see it here.
Haven't seen the other two. This will be a battle between Oppy and KOTFM imo.
Best Picture--Musical/Comedy: I don't see a world where Barbie doesn't win this. I thought Barbie was a lot of fun, and Ryan Gosling was fab. But I don't really fully subscribe to the hype.
I'm excited for Poor Things but haven't seen it; I love Yorgos's eye and I think he and Emma do make a great team, even if I'm meh on her in general.
The Holdovers I haven't seen and don't super want to see but my brother says he's forcing me to see it so I guess I will.
May December is a great movie. It's not a comedy in any way, shape, or form. But this category usually does that so I'm not surprised. This is a dark, intense, heartbreaking, tragic movie. It's deeply disturbing. I love it, but it's not a comedy.
Haven't seen the other two.
Best Director: Again, BCoops is being insufferable and I generally dislike everything I'm hearing about this. Sorry you didn't get an Oscar nom for ASIB my guy, get over it.
I knew Greta would be nominated and I will say that I love the visuals of that movie, but I think the visual greatness of Barbie is super dependent on the production and costume design, so... I'm not saying it isn't deserved, but I'm not in love with it.
Again, haven't seen Poor Things by Yorgos is fab.
Nolan was a foregone conclusion, I think the movie does look great and is very interesting.
Scorsese should win, sorry, he put his heart and soul into that movie and you could tell with every bit of it. Listen, people can dog this man out all they want, but he is THAT GUY and I consider him one of the last Truly Legend Status directors working right now, so. I think this will go to Oppenheimer, but. Meh.
And again, I'm happy to see Celine Song nominated! Past Lives had a really unique vibe to it and I think she offered a film that we don't see as much of anymore.
Screenplay--Based on what I've seen on this list, should be KOTFM, I can see it going to Barbie. Oppy being written in the first person might woo some people, though.
Best Actor--Drama: Should absolutely be Cillian, he carried that movie and it wouldn't have worked without him. Just a fabulous performance. I can see Leo maaaaybe edging him out? He was really good in KOTFM. It is truly wild to me that Barry was nominated, lol, I haven't seen a rush of buzz for him in Saltburn though he is the best part of the movie. I don't think it was his best work, compared to Banshees.
Best Actress--Drama: If this isn't Lily Gladstone I'll screech. Incredibly moving, and another movie where this thing would not have worked if anyone else had played that role. I don't see this category being super competitive against her.
Best Actress--Comedy/Musical: I can see them giving it to Margot for the press. I think Emma has had the strongest buzz of this category, but Fantasia could totally dark horse it.
Best Actor/Comedy Musical--I have no opinion on this, but I'm going for Jeffrey Wright because he's generally so good.
Best Supporting Actor--Charles Melton DESERVES this, people. He's amazing in May December. Heart crushing. An absolute breakout revelation performance.
One person I could see him giving him a run for his money is De Niro, because he was also amazing in KOTFM. Absolutely loathsome. I can also see them giving it to RDJ, because he is entertaining in Oppy, and I'm getting "it's time" vibes, which I hate... but Charles has also been cleaning up with smaller critics' awards.
Best Supporting Actress--Da'Vine is getting some great reviews, I feel like she's got a really good shot. Julianne is very good in May December, but she's also a very decorated actress. Um, sorry, Emily Blunt was not anything special in Oppy and if she gets this I'll be so baffled.
Best TV Series--Drama: I can see this going to Succession or possibly The Last of Us. Succession has the final season going for it, and it was actually amazing. TLOUS has fandom hype going for it, which the Globes likes. The Diplomat won't win, but fwiw I liked that show a lot.
Best TV Series--Comedy: Abbott Elementary better win is all I'll say. The Bear and Barry shouldn't even be in this category lol.
Best TV Actor--Drama: I feel like this will be a duke it out between Jeremy and Kieran. I'd be thrilled with either winning, but Jeremy's already won and Kieran has an "it's his time" vibe, his last shot to win with what may end up being the defining performance of his career. Brian Cox is such a dick for submitting in this category and the awards shows are such dicks for nominating him, lol.
Best Actress--TV Drama: If Sarah Snook doesn't win I'm burning this city to the ground. Why is Emma even nominated lmao. I do love a Keri Russell, but nah man, nobody here compares to Snook.
Best Actress--TV Comedy: Tbh I think Elle gave the best performance in this category.... easily.... but Quinta is great and I'd love to see her win, too.
Best Actor--TV Comedy: I don't care for any of these nominees. Nicholas Hoult outsold everyone here, bummer that he doesn't have a nom.
Best Supporting Actor-TV: I'd love for Alan Ruck to pick something up, but Matty Mac did once again obliterate lol. Askars was amazing but I don't think he had enough PUNCHY moments.
Best Support Actress--TV: Elizabeth Debicki was great but didn't have the material, imo. Christina Ricci would be my pick here, but I feel like it's gonna go to Hannah Waddingham because last season and all that.
Best Limited Series--Beef is easily the best one here, but the horrible way that the casting controversy was handled may have ruined their shot. In that sense, I think Steven gave the best performance but it could go to Matt Bomer or Jon Hamm. For actress, I would've picked Ali Wong but.... Also, I will say, nobody saw Dead Rings but me apparently but I'm so glad Rachel Weisz got nominated here because she was INCREDIBLE. Will probably go to Brie Larson knowing my luck, though I don't think Lessons in Chemistry made the impact they thought it would.
Best Supporting Actress--Limited: Glad to see Carla here, she was great. I have no idea who this will go to but it probably won't be here lmao. Also, The Fall of the House of Usher should've gotten a nom for best Limited, but c'est la vie the awards shows hate horror. Also, I don't know if this is controversial but brave... I would've nominated Bruce for Best Actor. That could be my weird attraction to him in that role speaking, though.
