#the promise (2016)

[ninebluehearts]

So I was watching The Promise this week and I was crying my heart out! The ending made me feel bittersweet, Mikael is a perfect surrogate father to Yeva and she looks so radiant in her wedding dress. Since we know he sets up a practice in Massachusetts, I can picture him falling in love again. He worries about the age difference, but you don't care along he's happy, you're happy. Yeva is pleased that he found love again and treats you as the mother that she cherished.

Hey Giona!! Sorry it took me forever to answer this ask! Once I got home after work I went ahead and rented The Promise so I could properly respond to this! And when I tell you that I was s o b b i n g at the end?? I was inconsolable 😭 And Yeva and Mikael had no right looking so pretty on her wedding day tf??? They were so cute 😭💕 (also, this is gonna be set before Yeva's wedding :) I hope that's okay!)

You first met Mikael through your best friend Yeva. Your parents were out of town for the week and you didn't want to be by yourself, so she invited you to come and stay with her and her Father while they were gone. You couldn't stand being alone after your husband was killed by a group of Turkish men that had invaded your home. You never felt truly safe after that. Luckily, your kind parents allowed you to move back in with them.

After Yeva introduced you to Mikael, you couldn't stop thinking about him. How his firm, rough hand felt on yours when you shook hands; the way he gave you his full attention whenever you spoke. And whenever your eyes met his throughout the day, a warm wave of tingles would flood throughout your body.

You couldn't seem to fall asleep one night, the loud claps of thunder from a near by storm shaking you to your core. You felt rediculous being thirty-two years old with a fear of thunder storms. Not wanting to wake Yeva with your twists and turns in the shared bed, you went downstairs to get yourself a glass of water. Turns out you were not the only one who couldn't sleep.

Mikael was hunched over the kitchen counter, writing a letter to one of his patients who had cancer. And by the look of stress etched on his face, you could tell it wasn't looking great for the patient. He glanced up and saw you standing in the doorway, his soft brown eyes immediately meeting yours. It was at that moment you knew you were falling for him.

You spent the rest of the night sitting on the front porch talking to Mikael about anything and everything. He told you about what it was like living in Spain during the war, what had happened to his family, and about a woman named Anna whom he loved and lost, just like everything else. And in return, you told him about your late husband Marcus.

As the sun started to rise, you realized that you didn't want to go home. Hell, you didn't want to leave him. Ever. He seemed to notice your silent revelation, because his eyes bore into yours with an earnest attempt to say 'stay with me'. You both inched closer to each other, as if a magnet was pulling you together. And when he kissed you, everything suddenly felt right.

You married soon after. Though age gaps were common in both of your native countries, he constantly worried about being twenty eight years older than you. But you loved him too much to care about the age gap. If anything, you loved him even more for it. And listen, you still loved your late husband and missed him dearly, but there was something about Mikael that just made you finally feel safe again.

“Don’t you get tired of over qualifying your words for random people on the internet” YES GOD SAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(context)

thank you anon! like i really feel this so hard because like i know we often can't help caring what other people think and can't help feeling like we need to overexplain ourselves for a myriad of reasons, some of them being that social media culture has bred such an environment of like constantly performing and being scrutinized and scrutinizing others to see who is saying exactly the right thing in exactly the right way, and it's like, of course it's always important to be aware and thoughtful about what we say and how we conduct ourselves, but really sometime the black and white mentality goes too far, and learning how to distance yourself and care less about what others think is honestly so vital to enjoying your internet experience and feeling free

and when it comes to the phandom and talking about dnp's relationship specifically, i think a lot of people (mostly outside of tumblr, i feel like most of us here Get It) are still stuck deep in that ~2012-2016 mindset. and like i get that era did a number on a lot of us, but dnp themselves have moved on, and we're allowed to move on too. like so many people on here have already said, it's perfectly natural to think dnp are in a relationship because, lbrh, they've made it pretty much as clear as they can make it without outright saying it. dnp are very aware of how we as a fandom operate and think and know that right now, they're existing in a space where they can be just short of being explicit about their relationship, such that those who actively keep up with their content Know What's Up, but it's not enough for any tabloid site to pick up and run an article on and get the public spotlight trained on them again. given that, i think it's fair for us to pick up what they put down, and anyone in the year 2024 jumping down people's throats for saying they're together just looks silly, and it's time that everyone who still cares about what those people say to just stop caring

#like a lot of ppl here have said recently like #what was bad about 2012-2016 was the invasion of privacy from some ppl in the phandom or shoving things in dnp's face #like if you're not stalking them or their family members #not trying to find and leak their address #not @-ing them in fandomy content that's not meant for them #you're fine #dnp are two gay men in their 30s who have been in the public eye for well over a decade #who are now out and free #and frequently make jokes about their relationship #i promise someone on the internet saying they're together isnt committing a cardinal sin #which ik all of us here know #but i think this is something ppl on some other social media sites need to hear #anonymous #answered #phan

The biggest upside to the RWRB movie is that I can use it to once again try to convince people to watch Handsome Devil (2016)

“After the show in Quebec City, Muse and a few crew members head to a cosy brickwork pub that feels like a beer cellar in Prague. Over drinks, they work out their porn star names.

Wolstenholme wins with Bruno Avondale, Bellamy comes a distant second with Kipper Bingham, and Howard, to his dismay, is saddled with Mopsy Marmsbury.”

God I hate being asked for professional references for a minimum wage job. I am a dog trainer applying to work your kennels and daycare and clean up after dogs. You want professional references. Sure. Okay. Fuck off. I wouldn't even be training. Yet.

#if I didn't like dogs so much I'd be a lot more put out #not me calling ryan from 2016 petco and saying hey lie for me the way you offered 6 years ago? #that just leaves two others which is still!! I hate this. #so many assumptions go into this stupid request #you are paying minimum wage motherfucker I promise I am qualified to give a dog a bath and scoop its shit
