Hi! I've been musing over this for a day or two but I saw you mention you were in a Shakesperian play before and it got me thinking....you and Benedict in whatever Shakespeare play of your choosing I think it'd be so cool!
Also on the same note but an AU with Dr. Strange as a theatre professor and you bond with him over your love of literature and playwriting 🥰
I love this so, sooooooooooooo much and guess what, my brilliant friend...
It's an actual thing!

The One That Got Away
In my early years on tumblr, there used to be a lot of contests by Artists and Writers to promote their blogs. One such that I won was a custom written one-shot. And as what you've described above (me acting in a play by Shakespeare, opposite Benedict) has been a long desired dream, that's what the Author created for me. BC & I performing together in The Taming of the Shrew. Dust to Dust is a fic filled with angst & mutual but unfulfillable longing!😁Please check it out; it's a very quick, wonderful read.
But it gets even better...
I loved this story so much that my mind kept going, I need more...there has to be more to the story. And I began to write. Bits and pieces of Benedict & Virgilia (Vicki) interacting. Pining. Confessing forbidden feelings. A kickass prologue. Until I finally had to broach the topic with the Author--who had felt a pull to continue the story as well
So, she asked for samples of what I'd written, and once satisfied with how I envisioned the story playing out, she gave me her blessing. The One That Got Away is one of my dearest WIPs, and though it's been ages since I've updated, I know exactly how the rest of the story goes (including lots of angst, a forbidden tryst or two, lovers separated by an ocean wide, reconciliation and a happy ending). I even wrote an epilogue already, for a bestie of mine who initially struck up our friendship because she loved the story so much.
Gotta say, it makes me really happy to talk about it, so I must thank you heartily!🥰 I miss those inspired days of writing. So impassioned to get the words on the page that I even wrote one pivitol chapter in a law office where I had to give a deposition about an accident I witnessed at work!
I hope with all my heart that a few new Readers will check it out from seeing this post, and maybe even give it some love. I know many of us refer to something we've written as some of our best stuff--but this is no cliche; I really think it is.
Oh, and your second suggestion...Stephen as a Theatre Professor? Absolutely worth adding to my list of things I'd love to write if I ever get my mojo back for real.
a very excited PS:
I have two songs that encapsulate some of the feels for this fic. Girl Crush by Little Big Town, and Taylor's Wildest Dreams
PPS: a wonderful graphic artist made an amazing 'book cover' for the story; and the OC costume designer for Shrew is based on her

from this post hereeee https://www.tumblr.com/happypopcornprincess/716924597461794816/ayooo-lets-do-this-taglist-tuiccim?source=share
anything you can give me from "the one that got away" 👀 I know it's been a while, but this one has a little space in my heart 🥺
dude it's been so long since I came back to TOTGA, that story is so personal to me I really look forward to completing it soon T~T (PS I live for your responses on my fics srsly you are AMAZING!!!!)
Buuuuut.... THAT scene from the series has got to be a lot, because I started with bis and pieces of scenes that formed in my mind and made a chapter based on them. So here's the list (spoiler free)
Joaquin's playlist and SamBucky Banter in chapter one
rain scene from chapter 3
apartment scene from chapter 4
alaska scene from chapter five
the entire flashback scene from chapter six
ending of chapter seven
and the entire chapter eight
there is also an entire scene from upcoming chaters and I'll update the list later but overall writing this was an experience, as soon as I'm done with my semester exams, (June 9, hopefully) I'm coming back for this, pinky swear.
also, you can read the series right here - The One That Got Away

Pinoy movie 001 // Ngayon Kaya
Kakatapos ko lang panuorin yung movie nila janine gutierrez at paulo avelino na "ngayon kaya". Parang kaka release lang ata sa netflix yung movie na yun.
Here's the plot (wikipedia):
Five years after going their separate ways, close friends Harold and AM unexpectedly reunite after arriving late at the wedding of their friends, Justin and Charmaigne. Old feelings resurface as the two reflect on their almost decade-long friendship, pretend to live the lives taken away by their clashing dreams and obligations, and lament their many "what could have beens." Will they get it right this time around, or will they have to go on wondering what life would've been like if they didn't let their chance pass them by a second time?
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
So ito ang masasabi ko
ANG GANDA
ANG SAKIT
NAKAKAPANGHINAYANG
Ito naman more detailed comment/reaction ko sa movie:
Story:
Indie film ba ito? Pang indie film kase yung story kase ang ganda talaga. Yung tipong may hugot, parang "boring" pero deep yung atake.
Cinematography:
Isa to sa mga pinoy films na naganda ako sa cinematography like ang ganda lang talaga. Yung color grading ang ganda rin. Kung e rarate ko ito i'll give this 9/10
I'll give you guys snippets from the film:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Music:
Ang ganda rin ng choice of music nila nagkataon pa talaga na trending yung jopay by mayonnaise these days. Pero di ko masyadong na appreciate yung pagkanta ni paulo like i'm sorry 😭 pero sige pwede na 😅
Actors:
Janine gutierrez ang galing mo as always. Si paulo rin magaling pero si janine talaga like kakastart lang ng movie like 1/4 palang ng movie ramdam ko na emotion nya. The whole movie ang sakit sa dibdib yung kahit di ka makaiyak pero parang punong puno yung puso mo.
Realization after watching the movie:
● what if? — kung gusto mo talaga na wala kang pagsisihan, take a risk. Madalas na pinagsisisihan ng tao is yung mga bagay na di nila ginawa.
● gusto mo ang isang tao? mahal mo na? sabihin mo sa kanya kahit ano pa yung outcome. Pag binaon mo, there's a chance tutubo pa yan at mag roroot pa, mas lalalim pa yan.
● may nabasa ako na "don't expect what you can't communicate"; tama naman. Sabi nila "action speaks louder than words" pero minsan kailangan mo rin sabihin yung nararamdaman mo, di sapat na actions lang.
● ang hirap kalimutan ng first/greatest love. Yung tipong kahit andami mo nang na meet na iba't ibang tao may special spot talaga sa puso mo yung first/greatest love mo.
● sa totoong buhay ang hirap talaga mag mahal pag hindi kayo same ng estado ng buhay. Yung tipong mayaman sya tas ikaw hindi. Minsan na sasacrifice yung family natin dahil may minamahal tayo. Yung mga needs ng family natin hindi na paprioritize kase mas inuuna natin yung isang taong mahal natin. Please lang unahin natin yung family natin lalo na pag supportive sila satin at malaki rin yung sinacrifice nila satin. Siguro maiintindihan nila kung ano man maging desisyon natin pero deserve nilang unahin kesa sa ibang tao kase sila yung legit na nasa tabi natin in good times at bad times (except dun sa may toxic family 😅)
● after everything na pinanuod ko na realize ko na "kung kayo talaga edi kayo talaga" kase diba yung iba nga kahit andami nang nangyari sa buhay nila tas sila parin yung nagkatuluyan. Pero syempre malaki parin yung chance na mag work lalo na pag nag take action ka. Sa mga di pinalad jan, masasabi mo na lang na bawi na lang sa next life 😅
‼️ SPOILER ALERT ‼️
Pero maiba ako, diba medyo confusing yung last part? What if bumalik si harold kay AM at di na tumuloy sa flight nya? Siguro mas mabuti na tinuloy na nya yung flight nya at tapusin yung relationship nya sa fiance nya kase diba his fiance deserves better. Pag nalaman ni girl pinaggagawa ni harold while nasa philippines edi masasaktan yun ng sobra. Do the right thing harold. Dami mo ng sinaktan 😂✌🏻 pero seriously mas mabuti talaga na tumuloy si harold sa canada and break up with his fiance and work on himself, mag move on. Ito yung ultimate lesson from the film na "pag di pa tayo tapos sa past natin, wag muna mag commit sa iba."

Love is such a wonderful feeling.
To feel love and To be loved is just a taste of heaven.
But the thing is not all the love we felt is a love that we can have.
Some were TOTGA, The One That Got Away.
Some were One Sided Love.
Some were your First Love but eventually Fall Out of Love.
Some were Unsaid Feelings.
And to whatever situation are you in where love can´t reach That SomeOne you love
CHEERS! To the love we just can´t have 🥂

today, i woke up at 2am feeling agitated. i dreamt of you again. this is probably the last time i’ll dream about you this year. honestly, it feels random that i dreamt of you. i haven’t seen u (in person/online) in awhile.
okay, i’ll admit, i thought of maybe coincidentally bumping into you yesterday when i went back to my fav city to shop last minute gifts for x-mas day but i didn’t.
this particular dream i had about you is weird and sad and idk, maybe there’s a tinge of regret? in the dream you’re finally saying that you’ve moved on with someone and that you’re finally happy now. i should feel happy for you but in the dream, i felt the opposite. that’s the weird part. it almost feels like i don’t want you to move on with someone else even tho i’m the first one to have someone new after we broke up.
but now after having this dream, a question suddenly bubbled itself in the air; did i really moved on already? why does it hurts so much to know that you have someone else now even when it’s just in a dream. (bc honestly, i have no idea what’s happening in your life.) i should feel happy for you but now all i really feel is guilt. i felt selfish. i am selfish even in dreams. damn it.
all of these makes me confused, even this idea that i am writing about this right now. i am happy now, aren’t i? but why i am so affected about the dream that it woke me up at 2am. i can’t confirm or should i say, i refuse to confirm whether it’s true or not but i really thought that you’ll never get over me your whole life even when you find someone else. maybe it’s the same thing for me—- and for everyone.
maybe that’s how it works and maybe it’s okay. come to think about it: it’s precious to feel that way for a person and at the same time it fucking aches. but it’s okay, i guess. i wouldn’t have it any other way.
so grateful for all of these experiences. it makes my life more meaningful and at the same time mysterious.
despite everything i’ve said about this whole entry i still wish you well, e.

Hypocrite
No matter how much I tell that I'm only after the friendship
After knowing all about the aftermaths of my mistake, your side of the story, and reminiscing the past
A part of me wants you back
A part of me hopes you'd be back
A part of me low-key wishing for you to be my person
A part of me silently praying to universe
For you and I continue writing the love story we yet to have

Love, Aaron
It’s been a month since the last time we saw each other, but I still remember that night that you kiss me passionately. I can still feel the excitement. I can still remember the smell of you body, the taste of your lips. I can still remember the way you hold my body, every breath that you take makes my heart beat fast. 
I never been kissed by a guy before, that’s my first time, but I have to be honest, it was great.
I have no regrets about what happened to the two of us that night. In fact I want more.
I've always wanted you even when we were still in high school.  to all our silly things that we did before, all the happy memories and even the sad one, I always loved you.
I know, no matter what I do, no matter how much I love you, I know you can't love me back. but you don't worry, I already accepted it long time ago and I didn't ask for anything in return, just let me love you from afar, that would be ok with me. 
  I wish you and your fiancé a happy family in the future. 
Happy Birthday my Dearest. 
I LOVE YOU.

Never gonna lie, meeting you this season has set the bars too high.
Having the chance to spend time with you has, unexpectedly, changed my perspective radically.
I didn’t see it coming. It just dawned on me gradually.
At first, I thought I should never fall too deep, keep my emotions tamed,
not only because I was too afraid to get hurt, but because then, I couldn’t see myself being fit for you in the future.
Guess I was right. But silly me, thought it was because you can’t meet the standards.
Turns out, it was I who couldn’t.
You’re too beautiful. Your heart is so so precious. You’re dazzling.
And I’m too afraid to come close.
Knowing you more made me see that the things I thought you wouldn’t be able to meet were actually petty, turns out they weren't really that important. All along, I was too busy putting too much value on "standards" that shouldn't be on my list at all.
For knowing you more made me see that the kind of heart and faith that you have are the ones that really matter in the long run. That, darling, is what makes a person like you hard to find.
Turns out, that a person like you is what I actually want.
A man after God’s own heart. A good person deep to the core. Genuine. Kind. Pure.
I’d be too selfish to try to woo you to myself, so I promise I wouldn’t.
But I’m afraid that I might miss you a lot after this. I'm terrified that I might lose you forever.
I’m not sure, but I’m thinking that it’s gonna be hard for me to let anyone capture my heart after you.
For after you, I’ve met what I really wanted. How a person like you really exists. Only that, it's not with me.
I might keep looking for glimpses of you in other guys I’m bound to meet. Be trying to find the same traces of a good heart and a strong faith like yours.
I won’t be busy looking for these in them though, for I will step up and strive and beg God to help me develop these in myself first.
I’m terrified that I might not meet someone like you again, but perhaps, it’s already a win that my walls are now starting to be built.
Having to meet you this season has been a blessing, in ways I never thought it would. Getting to know you has gracefully broken my pride and humbled me. I'd never see many things the same way again after this.
It breaks my heart to have to bid goodbye. Nevertheless, I’m grateful to know that someone like you exists. And that for a short while, I could be a friend to you.
It is enchanting to meet you.

How sad it is apologizing to someone because of how you deeply want them in your life.

Summer after high school, when we first met, we'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead. And on my eighteenth birthday, we got matching tattoos. Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof. Talked about our future like we had a clue. Never planned that one day I'd be losing you. In another life, I would be your girl. We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world. In another life, I would make you stay so I don't have to say you were the one that got away. The one that got away.

You can suggest and send me asks about them and I will be delighted to write them <3
