Let me tell you about the dream I had last night, starring Omar Rudberg.

So it started inexplicably enough, like most of my dreams, that for some reason I was living in a hospital. Not as a patient, I wasn’t ill or anything, but that hospital had become both my workplace and home, as well as for other people in my organization. One of the scientists that I work with, she was there, a guy from the travel office was there, and then a bunch of random people also living and working there. Anyway, we were told that we were going to have to leave, because the whole building was being evacuated, and I was told to take all my stuff with me because I wouldn’t be able to come back. My ten-year-old niece was with me, and she was helping me pack. I didn’t have a lot of things, so it was fine.

Then the dream became clearly the plot of a movie, in which Tom Holland was the protagonist. He was like a young James Bond/the guy from Mission Impossible-type character, a secret agent but at the moment he was just a random guy in a suit. The hospital was no longer a hospital but a huge bank. And there was a terrorist organization led by Gary Oldman playing the exact same character he played in Air Force One but without the Russian accent. He was in a suit, tho, and all the guys with him were in suits, and they were holding everyone hostage, and there was a bomb, and people were scared shitless, and I don’t know what their goal was, but Tom Holland was trying to figure out what to do, until he saw one of the guys, and it’s… Omar Rudberg.

Omar was Tom Holland’s love interest in the movie. Flashback (yes, my dreams have flashbacks and subtitles and everything, I have very sophisticated dreams) to when they were together. I didn’t see how they met, but they were together for a long time, and neither of them knew what the other actually did for a living. But they were IN LOVE. The flashbacks are of all these super domestic scenes of them waking up together, being super cutesy, waking each other up with kisses, eating breakfast together. Until one day, Tom Holland (sorry that I keep calling him Tom, but as sophisticated as my dream movie-scriptwriting skills may be, I didn’t come up with names for any of the actor’s characters) comes back from getting coffee from a shop near where he lives, and Omar is gone. No note, nothing. He doesn’t answer his phone, and Tom never sees him again.

Until now.

Tom is clearly shocked and heartbroken. His fucking exboyfriend was part of a terrorist organization this whole time. Omar is visibly shocked too. They really didn’t know what the other one did, he had no idea that he would be holding his old boyfriend hostage, and clearly didn’t want to.

By the way, after realizing that he was never going to see Omar again, Tom starts dating this girl, played by Margaret Qualley (very random), and she’s there too, because she actually works in the bank, and she’s also being held hostage. In no time, she realizes what’s going on, she knows that someone broke Tom’s heart before he started dating him, and now she knows who it was.

And by the way, Tom tried really hard to find Omar, he used his spy organization’s resources to try to locate him and everything, and was very surprised at not finding absolutely anything. And now he knows why.

Anyway, Gary Oldman is making threats and trying to negotiate. Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Coulson in Agents of SHIELD and the Marvel movies, is the mediator, he’s Tom’s boss, and he’s trying to convince Tom that, if things go sideways, he’s going to have to kill the terrorists, including Omar. Because they don’t negotiate with terrorists.

And where am I in this whole thing? I am the audience and omniscient narrator AND one of the hostages. I’m in the action. One moment I’m moving out of the hospital and suddenly I’m very aware that I’m a character in a movie… I’m close enough to know ‘shit those two are in love, what the fuck is gonna happen’. I somehow end up in an elevator because when shit finally goes down, Tom and Omar devise a plan to get rid of the bomb before it can blow up inside the building with everyone still inside. They have to get it to the top of the building, where it’s empty and it can do the least damage or something.

I don’t know why I was in the elevator, I was screaming my head off because the thing was going really fast up, and for some reason the building was unfinished, so there’s no actual structure on the top, half the building is still scaffolding and just an elevator chute, and the elevator itself has no roof (I don’t know how this is possible, it’s a dream, you know), so we can see the sky as we’re going up.

Tom is having a panic attack because he’s afraid of heights (of course he was, he had to have some kind of flaw that his character would eventually get over), and Omar kisses him to stop the panic attack. It works.

And I’m there thinking ‘oh they’re gonna make it work’. I don’t know what happened at the end, they obviously saved the day, but Omar has to get away because all the terrorists are being captured. Tom obviously helps him escape and… they never see each other again.

Or do they?

Fast-forward to that scene at the end of the Dark Knight Rises, when Alfred sees Bruce and Catwoman in a restaurant in Italy, except that it’s Agent Coulson and he sees Tom and Omar in the plaza outside the Louvre, with their arms around each other. They can’t be together for real, but they meet in secret, and continue to be in love. They made it work.

Anyway, that was my weird super action spy movie dream starring Tom Holland and Omar Rudberg.

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind watching this horribly clichéd movie that I dreamed of last night. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there’s any big blockbuster movie in which a protagonist of the caliber of Tom Holland is a secret agent action hero character with a male love interest. Someone please give it to me.

EDIT: I forgot to add that the building was supposed to be 75 stories high. So the top half of the building was still under construction, but inexplicably the bottom part was occupied and working. That’s why I was so terrified, we were going to the top of an unfinished 75-story high building and hopefully leaving a ticking bomb there and getting back down before it went off. The other thing was that the bomb had been activated and it was counting down, that was the urgency of getting rid of it, nobody could stop it and time was running out. The other detail was that the elevator was a clear glass elevator, not a construction elevator. But the building is not finished, why would it already have the glass structure? Because it was supposed to only work for the bottom half of the building which was ready and working. And the glass walls were covered with those thick quilted things that they use to protect elevator walls when moving furniture and construction materials. So I would insist on looking out through the edges of the quilted things and see how high up we were and scream my head off. I don’t mind heights, but I hate glass elevators and looking out whilst moving, it’s a horrible sensation. And it was the same reason why Tom Holland was paralyzed with fear.

a Monaco Grand Prix - t.holland

masterlist

pairing: Tom holland x mercedes intern!fem!reader

warnings: some flirting + possible minor errors

a/n: inspired by the Monaco gp today! combining my love for Tom and formula 1 into this! if you like formula 1, you can find my sports masterlist on @thatsdemko 🥰

“you can’t just be nice and give him a tour?” your boss, Toto Wolff, gives you a glare that’s almost killer. one that you know will bite you in the ass, if you don’t just take the opportunity to show the famous celebrity around the paddock.

you know it’s part of your job. if you want your placement to be permanent, you’ll have to do whatever the boss says, and that being showing a famous prick around the Monaco paddock.

you nod, “I’ll do it.” you swallow the nervous jitters, as you turn out of the Mercedes hospitality to the one and only Tom holland making his way through media, other formula 1 interns, and press.

he’s headed to you with his security guards. a bright pearly white smile on his face as climbs the steps, hand extended, “ah you must be y/n! I was told you’d show me around.” his British accent brings warmth to your ears as it visibly spreads to your cheeks taking his hand in yours.

you’ve completely forgot why you didn’t want to do this in the first place. after having met the Tom holland, you’d do anything your boss asks you to do.

“right this way, Mr. Holland, let me show you our new and improved cars for this weekends race.”

—

each spot you took him to came with a variety questions and expression, god he was cute, was all you could think about. he was attentive and listened to your tidbits and nerdy jokes, he could tell you really loved your job and took formula 1 as serious as it was.

“and this is the Red Bull garage, legally I’m not allowed in there or else I’ll be reported for spying. but go on in, I’m sure Christian Horner would love to see you.” you gesture for the actor to step inside the garage and join the couple of other famous people you could see from where you stood.

as badly as he wanted to step in and have the cameras pointed on him, he didn’t mind keeping a lower profile and decline the offer to do so, “if you can’t go in then I definitely shouldn’t.” he laughs pulling out his phone to show you his Lewis Hamilton lockscreen, “I’d be murdered in there.”

“that makes two of us.” you giggle, pulling out your phone to show him the picture of you and Lewis on your first day. he’s a bit jealous as a claims, but you’re sure he’s had more opportunities to meet him than you have. considering you rarely see the drivers— except for Mick Schumacher.

“ah I’m hoping to get a picture with him like that too!” he carefully taps his finger against your screen to get another look at the picture; two of you smiling from ear to ear in Bahrain.

“I don’t have the privileges to get you to meet him, but considering your fame status? I’m sure by the end of this weekend you’ll see him more times than me.” you gesture for him to follow and he keeps up as you pass the McLaren, where Oscar piastri and lando norris are doing final placements.

“what if I want to see you more by the end of this weekend?” he asks, the words slipping off his tongue before he can filter them out. his hand flies over his lips; security guard chuckling at his intrusive thoughts winning. flirty words were easy for Tom, but he didn’t expect to find himself using a line on you this early on the tour.

you can feel the red hue quickly spread to your cheeks, it’s more noticeable than the last time he got your attention that way. he moved into your field of vision turning to face you, rather than the cars, “I mean I could always use a tour guide around Monaco?” he shrugs, hand finding the nape of his neck as he nervously plays with the hairs there.

“ask me when I’m off the clock, then legally I can answer.”

—

you thought he would’ve forgotten by now. it was hours after you gave him his own private tour of the paddock, and somehow? he was still there.

most people— fans, media, press, and other members of formula 1— had vacated the paddock following an early rise tomorrow for the big race, but not Tom. he’d stuck out waiting around, taking pictures with the few fans left, and even getting his picture with the infamous Lewis Hamilton.

“I see you finally got your picture.” you say as you make your way down those same hospitality steps to close the gap of where he stood off to the side.

“yeah, but I didn’t get that guaranteed tour of Monaco yet?”

“will I get paid by the end of the tour?” you raise an eyebrow watching his words stumble out of his mouth, words not even forming sentences you tripped him hard, “I’m joking, Tom, but I get off of work tomorrow late, so your tour will have to wait.”

he nods eager, but still slow enough to not show much of his excitement, “I can wait until then. I’ll find you here tomorrow evening?”

“deal, and I don’t take checks as a form of payment.”

The Night Manager will be returning for two more seasons with Tom Hiddleston at the helm once again, it has been reported.

The renewal of the hit adaptation of John le Carré’s 1993 novel, which aired to great fanfare eight years ago, has been greenlit by Amazon Prime and the BBC, according to Deadline.

It is understood that the new seasons about the hotel-manager-turned-spy will be filmed later this year in London and South America.

According to reports, David Farr – who wrote the original series – has been brought back to write season two.

The first series, which won two Emmys and three Golden Globes, featured an impressive cast including Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Debicki, Tom Hollander and David Harewood.

It followed Hiddleston as Jonathan Pine, the former British soldier who is recruited by the manager of a Foreign Office taskforce to infiltrate an arms dealer’s inner circle while he is the night manager of a luxury Cairo hotel.

The series quickly became one of the top-rated UK dramas of 2016 and spawned a number of subsequent le Carré adaptations from The Ink Factory, the production company run by le Carré’s sons Simon and Stephen Cornwell.

The new adaptation will be set in the present day, according to Deadline, and will follow Hiddleston’s Pine facing a new and more deadly challenge after being informed that arms dealer Richard Roper – played by Hugh Laurie – is dead.

Laurie, Colman and Hiddleston all won Golden Globes for their performances in the 2016 spy thriller, which became an international success and even led to rumours at the time that Hiddleston, 43, could be the next James Bond.

While the Bond rumours may have been put to bed, it remains to be seen where the plot may take Pine, seeing as Le Carré‘s novel has no sequel.

When Laurie was asked in 2016 whether the series would return, he said: “It’s based on a novel, we’ve got to the end of the novel and John le Carré has yet to write another novel. So in cold practical terms, no, we’re done.”

Le Carré, who died in 2020, took a very hands-off approach to the first series, but was said to be pleasantly surprised by the alterations Farr made to his novel for the script.

Charlotte Moore, the BBC TV chief, told The Telegraph in 2017 that “Le Carré is very involved” in discussions about the next series, saying: “We wouldn’t be talking with them if he didn’t think it was a good idea.”

Announcing the new series, Ms Moore said: “After years of fervent speculation I’m incredibly excited to confirm that The Night Manager is returning to the BBC for two more series.”

“Of course he wants to take part in it, it’s his work. He will definitely be involved in what we do next,” she added.

The Telegraph has contacted Le Carré’s estate for comment on the announcement of the new seasons.

Previously, Susanne Bier, who won an Emmy for directing the first series, revealed that scripts for a second instalment were “slowly being developed”, but she said writers were wary about being able to create the same hit again.

Farr agreed with this sentiment at the time, telling Variety in 2016 that he was “not keen” to do a second series, adding: “I liked the fact that the story ended where the story ended.

“But that’s entirely personal. Given the characters, there is a potential for something more to happen, and I’m sure someone could find the right idea. But for me it’s done. My simple feeling is that I wouldn’t be able to make the next one as good.”

Hiddleston, 43, will be returning to executive produce the new seasons as well as play Pine.

The British actor said: “The first series of The Night Manager was one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on. The depth, range and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect.”

Simon and Stephen Cornwell said season one proved “a landmark moment for the golden era of television – uniting on-screen and behind-the-camera talent at the top of their game – and an audience reception which was beyond our wildest imagining”.

“Revisiting the story of Pine also means going beyond the events of John le Carré’s original work: that is a decision we have not taken lightly, but his compelling characters and the vision David [Farr] has for their next chapter were irresistible,” they added.

Vernon Sanders, the Amazon MGM Studios head of television, added: “We are elated to bring additional seasons of The Night Manager to our Prime Video customers.

“The combination of terrific source material, the wonderful team at The Ink Factory, a great writer in David Farr, an award-winning director in Georgi Banks-Davies, as well as the talented cast truly make the series the full package.”

Things, people and topics I have or have had a hyperfixation on with little to no explanation, an ongoing list:

Boku no hero academia - The characters and how they interact. I could not care less about canon.

Harry Potter - Fuck JK.

DC - I started watching Arrow without knowing it was a multiverse nor that it was DC. Fell fast and fell hard.

Batfam - Do not confuse with DC. Again, I could not care less about canon.

Jason Todd and Tim Drake.

Criminal minds - I have watched the 15 seasons. Five times and counting. In several languages, for shits and giggles.

Spencer Reid.

BTS - this hyperfixation ended around 2019 but I still know the fan chant by heart.

Stray Kids - my freaking MOM got me into SKZ. Now I have a tattoo of a compass and would sell an organ (mine or otherwise) to meet Bang Chan.

Korean convenience store TikTok compilations

Cleaning TikTok compilations

Fridge/pantry restock TikTok compilations

Desk/stationery organization TikTok compilations

Percy Jackson - I read books 1-10 and I'm too scared to read the rest because if I start then they'll end and I don't want it to end.

The Maze Runner - Intense but short lived hyperfixation. The movies still sting.

The Hunger Games - It's been an on-and-off hyperfixation since the books first came out. I've read them 5 times in Spanish and English. Every time feels like the first.

Snakes.

Swords and knives.

Gravity Falls.

The Folk of the Air - I would sell my soul to both Cardan and Jude and would give literally anything to read it for the first time again.

Sanrio.

Spy x Family.

Spiderman - Specifically Tom Holland's Peter Parker and itsv's Miles Morales.

Danganronpa.

Yuri!!! On Ice - where the hell is Ice Adolescence Mappa. Where are my emotional support gays.

Genshin Impact - not anymore and the mere thought of playing again makes me shiver. I was really really close to developing a gambling problem with the gacha.

The Promised Neverland.

Stiles Stilinski - not Teen Wolf, not Dylan O'Brien. Stiles.

Six: The Musical and Heathers: The Musical - Putting them together because it's not the musicals or the stories themselves, rather three or four songs I listen to on repeat for hours every couple of months and then forget exist.

Big Hero 6.

Fullmetal alchemist.

This list is not over.

#adhd #autism #hyperfixation #AuDHD #yes I've hyperfixated on all of these things #no I don't know how or why either #Rambles

Tony thinks this is a great time to finally get a good look at this 'Flash' kid that has been bullying his newly found son and to threaten him (in a friendly, perfectly legal sort of way) into leaving Peter alone. Unfortunately Peter has inadvertently given Tony the wrong impression about Flash, who has been getting bullied at school just as badly as Peter has been by two older boys. Now Peter has to figure out a way to fix it. OR A little over a year ago Tony was contacted by a lawyer and found out he has a teenage son whose mother just died.

Hi there cherie! Would you be so kind as to recommend some of your works that feature more dub-con rather than straight up no-con? Nothing against the latter, just recently I’ve been leaning more on a vibe of manipulation and other types of coercion in my readings rather than physical strength, but I do enjoy all of your works!

Also, just to take the opportunity to make some compliment, I really adore how immersive and inclusive your writing is! As a mixed race person, and a girl who is a tad taller than average, I often find my immersion broken while reading fics because of some small details. I remember reading a Peter Parker fic that said something about him “towering over the reader”, and Tom Holland is not particularly tall. I’m about Zendaya’s height, and I think he wouldn’t tower over any woman that isn’t somehow bellow average height. Also with skin color, lots of writers use language that makes it clear that the reader is white in their minds, and I find that specially annoying. And while I’m not plus-sized myself, I also noticed that your writing is very inclusive of bigger women, no use of “dainty wrists, small waist, frail limbs” bullshit, which is another pet peeve of mine.

Anyways, I talk a lot, sorry! But keep on with the wonderful work, and I hope you have a lovely week 💖

Thank you! I definitely try my best!

I have quite a few stories that are more dub-con: twisted devotion, what it takes, she's with me, the war within, crave, stranger things (I think. I need to reread), lover's embrace, by the water's edge, brother may I, none of your concern, need to know, I spy with my little eye, late bloomer, and what he doesn't know

Eh, since Will is pretty much going to be a central character in the next season, I think it is very likely that S5 starts with Vecna contacting Will before Will has a chance of spying on him or using the connection between them. That would put the Will at the center of the story, and that interaction would circle back to S1, this time not hiding behind a Demogorgon or a mind flayer. Vecna interacting with Mike before Will doesn't make any sense as the show's start, sorry.

Will is definitely going to be central to s5! I don't disagree with that!

However I don't think Will being central stops other characters, specifically El or Mike, or even other main characters, from having their moments at the center. That's going to happen regardless of how major of a role Will plays.

And I would probably agree with you if this was just some random character, but this is Mike we're talking about...

I don't personally like how every season starts cryptically in some far away place with unknown subjects. But that's how almost every season starts, and I'm being serious when I say every season is then followed shortly after by Mike being late.

And so I would argue that Mike being late in some capacity at the start of s5, would make sense, as it would just be following the exact formula it always has.

That doesn't mean I don't think Will wont play a big part in how this could play out though, arguably he would play the biggest part, just like he did in s1!

We also have them admitting s5 is similar to s1 with the show coming full circle in a lot of ways, and so what happens could very likely feel like deja vu, assuming it's something we're gonna have already seen play out in the past in some capacity.

Honestly, I think Noah's role will be comparable to s2, either that or a lot more than that, no less though!

And yet, I do disagree with bylers that have sort of convinced themselves that Will is going to be the official main character next season...

But here's the thing, the Duffers also said this about Amybeth's character Vickie when they announced her role on the show, saying she would play a major role in events to come (only for her to get like 3 scenes in s4... praying they do her justice in s5). They even said this in an interview when asked about the significance of clocks, word for word they said that clocks would play a major role in events to come.

This is a phrase they use, which says a lot while saying nothing at all.

And so to be clear, the Duffers saying that Will plays a big role in events to come, wasn't them saying that Noah is now magically the top billed cast member. They were literally saying that he is central because he is, just like he was in s1 and especially s2, meaning he wont be 'sidelined' like he was in s3-4 at the very least I pesornally think.

However, this doesn't mean he is literally the main character, as Noah is not going to get a raise with him literally surpassing Millie and Finn... That's not happening.

What I also want to remind everyone, is that a lot of what they say and do is intentional.

When it comes to Noah being all spoilery and stuff, I do think that is intentional.

Noah, along with David, were the only cast-memers to talk about s5 post-s4 initially. And we all know David is the Duffers known scapegoat, who is known for not being able to keep his secrets to himself...

Noah has also been referred to as the Tom Holland of the show. If you guys don't know, the phenomena of Tom spoiling things eventually got to a point where marketing for Marvel took advantage of all the attention Tom got for leaking things, and created even more hype by making it seem like it was him accidentally spoiling things sometimes, even though it was entirely intentional to create hype... sound familar?

This means that full serious, if Noah wasn't supposed to be doing something, he wouldn't be. It's very likely he has been told to be unhinged because it works out well for them at this time. Seeing as a majority of the audience still aren't clued in on the likelihood of Mike and Will yet, (or even gay Will Byers for that matter), it makes sense to have Noah kind of keep people intrigued, but not enough to sound any alarm bells to the majority. They need a scapegoat rn and it's Noah (David is who they usually use as their sort of voice of speculation for what's to come, and trust me he'll be back eventually).

It just so happens that Noah is great with fanfare, and it's clear at this point he's the only one actually comfortable with doing it, and so they're letting him run wild because he IS a major part of the overall story and his character is finally going to be able to be acknowledged more fully in the story after years of being sort of sidelined. This is what everyone expects, and this is what everyone assumed after those interviews with the Duffers dropped and the reaction from fans also wasn't horrible? Like I remember there was a bunch of hype around that time when they revealed this and that's when the Will focused s5 fan posters started dropping and there was even one with Will and Mike holding hands that got like almost 500k likes on Twitter. And that was probably like a big moment for them, I'm sure in terms of feeling confident about how they should proceed with s5 promotion.

And I think this also contributed to them kind of just going with it, because it also allows them to keep a lot of s5 under-wraps, having Noah who is great with fanfare, keep reminding people of byler as a concept, while the rest of the cast is silent for the most part. It works.

And even despite that, I also think we're going to be getting byler and potentially willel wonder twin in some capacity, which are VERY big revelations to the main audience, which they don't see coming. And them only hyping up Will's role in s5 supports the audience not being prepared to see all of that coming.

Not only does there have to be closure for Will and Mike AND Will and El, we also have Mike and El's relationship to resolve, AND all their personal arcs. Will's importance to the story isn't going to prevent the writers from making sure the other main characters arcs feel fulfilled. I don't think those things are mutually exclusive and I don't know why people think they have to be?

And so even though I do agree that Will's role will be comparable to s2 (most likely more) in s5, I don't think it's going to be enough to bypass Millie or Finn in the credits. Which means that there is still going to be a major component to those characters arcs for El and Mike in the story, alongside Will's. I don't necessarily think this means that their roles will be bigger or smaller in some major way, but more likely equal in terms of how they handle it in accordance with those arcs coming together, and to ensure we actually feel satisfied with where everything ends up.

I'm not saying we won't get any Will focused promotional content like posters and stuff, I do think it will feel like the s2 era again, with him finally being seen as a major focus substantially. And yet I'm willing guess that El will still be the main focus of the main poster, with Will and Mike being more so equal to match the triangle aesthetic (also likely Noah is going to be upped to next to Finn in the credits with Millie getting her own slate, THAT would mean Noah's role is so major they're willing to bump him up over Caleb and Gaten which is saying a lot, though going any further than that wouldn't be standard because it took a lot to have Millie go above Finn, they're not going to do that again.).

What I personally think is more likely is that we'll get something similar to s2, with willel giving reflection (twin) vibes perhaps, and Mike being more secondary to that to also fit the triangle vibes.

With this being like a huge epic series, they're going to want those top first names to match with what the show started as so that it feels right. Why have Millie be above all the other kids if it doesn't feel right by the end of the story? If she's there, it will need to feel right narratively, not just based on their demand as actors by the end of this.

And this is also why I do think they have an obligation to make it more clear to the audience what Mike's arc is as a character, very likely related to him being in the closet for the last however many seasons. This would overlap with Will's arc because it also affected his ability to be his true self and El's arc because it also affected her ability to be her true self. And it also provides layers of importance to Karen's arc and Nancy's arc, and other characters arcs as well. That's what makes for a well rounded story, assuming they want us to be able to rewatch the show from beginning to end, and over and over again, feeling satisfied with how they closed everything off.

And arguably, circling back to the beginning of the show to see Mike at the center, would only really be satisfying if it ended with us feeling truly understanding of where his character ended up, making us root for him all over again.

That doesn't take away from Will being central, as he has always been central, since the beginning. Even when he was sidelined in s3-4, it was technically all preparing us for an end that would truly do him justice.

That doesn't mean they're not going to do all of the other characters justice though by any means. Both can coexist.!

#stranger things #byler #will byers #will byers has powers #there is a LOT to cover next season for will #A LOT #he's also spent a lot of time alone #el has also spent a lot of time alone #i think bc of this we're going to get a decent amount of willel bc it's a must #and byler obviously to really make that endgame feel satisfying with them as the main slow burn straightbait ship #but i also think mike is due for some alone time bc boy he needs it #and there is sort of some implications that come with that #which is that no will wont always be at the center of those moments #but that's okay #there will be other scenes in s5 that will also wont be in the center of #that is unavoidable lets just nip that in the bud rn #that doesn't take away from will being central #he will still play a major role #arguably the most major role #that doesn't mean other characters narrative importance disappears #i think the best way to look at it is #the better mike's arc is #the better el's arc is #the better will's arc is #those things all have to coexist for this end to feel satisfying #and it's what every fan deserves #assuming every fan is willing to go back and rewatch it all together to appreciate the story for what it truly is

Top 10 movies

Tagged by @aeide like....29 days ago. Cool. A lot of stuff happened lately and also I had to think about this and remake the list at least 7 (now 9) times. So. This is probably not true but it has old favorites and current bias and I’ve put far too much thought into this. Under cut because of gifs causing loading/flashing. Uhhhhh. I feel weird about tagging this, since it’s been so long. I can’t remember who has done it and who hasn’t. Gonna tag folks who I don’t remember seeing. If you’ve done it, or you don’t want to, that’s cool! Sorry I took forever with it. @blue-mono, @cataliinaa, @whereforartthoumisthios, @fikali, anyone else who wants?

1) The Hours

It has music by Philip Glass! Meryl Streep plays a queer woman and that was important to me as a teenager. It’s very sad but it is always there for me when I feel bleak. It’s just a part of my psyche and I can’t really explain it at this point.

2) Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers (Extended Version)

Every Thursday for about 8 years the closest group of cousins and I would watch a movie while we had our piano lessons and most of those years we just watched LOTR 2 and 3 extended versions. Every Thursday. For about 8 years. 2/4 people (including me) are most likely autistic, yes. 2/4 (not including me) can play the piano. We are very annoying about LOTR. Anyways, look! It’s Haldir! The first man I loved to die of a weapon through the head. Yeah. I love that guy. Also, this film has great french horn!

3) Pride and Prejudice (2005)

I cannot express how much I love this movie. I cannot explain all the things about it I love. I cannot. Music is by Dario Marianelli (I can play to the second page of the score to “Living Sculptures of Pemberly” on piano. It only took 5 years), Directed by Joe Wright, Kiera Knightley stars as Elizabeth Bennett. I adore the dresses, the hair, the casting, the music, the fact that Simon Wood’s hair continued growing red after filming, the statues in Pemberly, the tiling on the floors in Pemberly, the way Mary plays the piano, Georgiana, Darcy’s sideburns, the HAND FLEX, the weird pig scene, The flower Tom Hollander holds, the nod to Henry Purcell, ect. 4) Anna Karenina (2012)

Dario, Joe, Kiera, and a train walk into a movie. Do not get me started.

5) The Parent Trap (1998)

I saw this as a kid and made my mom watch it with me over and over and over again. She didn’t mind. She thinks she’s like Chessy, but she’s not. She doesn’t cook, for one. And she doesn’t wear a denim shirt. I do though. We still quote this to each other. Formative.

6) A Place Promised in Our Early Days

An earlier Makoto Shinkai movie. The plot is confusing and boring if I’m honest. The background animations are breathtaking. If you like anime but also like realism in art, I’d highly recommend any Makoto Shinkai movie for visuals.

7) The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

Do you ever just want to eat a sandwich and listen to old italian music and watch your enemy best friend and lover drown? No? huh. Amazing soundtrack! Spy drama! COSTUMING. It makes me laugh! Henry Cavill! Solo/Kuryakin/Teller should be canon. I was pretty upset about the whole Armie Hammer thing, tbh, because I really wanted a sequel to this. But I’m ok with that not happening.

8) Fly Away Home

The first media I wallowed in. Would rewind to the scene with Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “10,000′s miles” and sit way too close to the screen. When we got it on dvd my life changed. I could just press the button!? I didn’t care about the geese, really. I cared about the deep grief this kid was having. Someone probably should have questioned why I was watching it on repeat and gotten me into therapy a lot earlier. All in all, it’s a pretty movie.

9) A Single Man

I love this movie but I gotta admit I skip around watching it. It’s so depressing, I can’t watch it all at the same time. I like the music a lot, good cello. I love watching Colin Firth be miserable. I like crying with George. I don’t give a shit about Charley (except for her house and dress. Sorry Julianne Moore.) I hate Kenny. I want to live in George’s house. I want to live there. It is the J.W. Schaffer House. It’s a modernist house built in 1949 by John Lautner. I want to lick touch that woodwork. UGH. The glass. UGH. I love it. UGH. It’s such an impractical house. UGH. It’s so dumb. UGh. I want to go lay down on the floor, surrounded by books, in that house. uGH.

10) Underworld

What a dumb movie. Somewhere in my mom’s house is a Windows XP with a folder of photos of Selene that I thought were really cool, for some reason that I couldn’t figure out. That computer also has viruses from badly pirating the movie in 2008. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen and probably the first R rated movie I snuck. On this list because of the family computer destruction. And the ‘armor’, if you can call it that.
