as you wish

I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege. Ben Barnes. Another Brit in Hollywood.

I am sorry, people have known since I posted a picture of Isaiah with a turtle a few years back.  I wish I had a better story to tell you though.  

That’s okay, I forgive you for not having any back story to tell. Congratulations on the wedding, by the way!

My husband, Joe Jonas, and Zac Efron do not count as reliable sources, Ben, good try though.  

They should count! Especially if their opinion is close to mine, I need support.

addy: they really are. we watched frozen 2 yesterday which has some great songs to sing your heart out to.

addy: friends is always a good one to go back to. fleabag was such an amazing show, but I’ve never rewatched it so maybe that’s what I’ll watch next. i really love peaky blinders, not really your typical rewatch show but it’s one of my favourites.

ben: what's your favourite song of frozen 2? cause one of mine is Lost In The Woods and I feel like no one enjoys it??

ben: oooh peaky blinders is such a good show, though. it's brilliant.

addy: have to say, i lowkey love them. who doesn't love disney?

addy: yeah, i totally do that too. feel like you always have that one episode in every season that you love and constantly rewatch, just like you favourite movie. what's some of your favourite series?

ben: can't blame you for that, disney movies are fantastic.

ben: right? we all need those feel-good episodes from time to time. i absolutely love friends, and fleabag. what's yours?

So, yes, I may or may not have been playing too many video games lately but there’s a completely reliable explanation for that. Valorant came out and I was all over that because the game is awesome. And now The Last of Us Part II is out as well and that’s like my favorite game franchise ever so if I disappear for a long period of time, that video game is the reason behind it. Damn, I can’t wait to get into it! @hfrpstarters​

[b-bcrnes]

That's funny because I've never really been into video games, I’m more of a History kinda nerd but I’ve recently seen a lot of video footages of The Last of Us Part II and the graphics are amazing. This is one thing I’ve been pretty impressed by -- we went from Mario on the Gameboy to some realistic and beautiful images. What’s Valorant about, though?

so I rediscovered tinder, and now i’m starting to regret it because some random guy just messaged me. is tinder even worth it with these uncertainties?

@hfrpstarters

[b-bcrnes]

To be honest, I can’t help, I’ve never tried Tinder. I’ve heard so many stories that it has always been a big no from me. Did you get some really weird messages?

[b-bcrnes]

priyankactveit​:

That is not true and we both know it!

I’m so right about this. Pretty sure I can find someone out there who would vouch for me.

[b-bcrnes]

carriexunderwood​:

I understand that.  No real story I have just never really been a fan is all.  

I can agree with that in someways.  

I’m almost disappointed, I really thought there was a funny story behind your little turtle issue.

addy: i started rewatching gossip girl due to an overwhelming urge to do so. think it was to distract me from all the disney movies i have to watch for esme. but anyway, i may have started it from season three because apparently i watched the first two seasons last year. so am i failing because of that? have you ever watched something again and skipped seasons or, is it just me?

ben: do you really watch those disney movies for your daughter or you're lowkey loving them?

ben: i've done that with my favourite shows though. like, sometimes i just wanna re-watch the best episodes so i skipped seasons, too!

I think some of my favorite places has to be those hole-in-the-wall ones. I’ve been spending a few days in LA after I finished filming to visit friends and decided to venture off into the city with my lack of direction, I found this place called Earle’s and wow. They have a burger called the double charburger which definitely clogged my arteries, though not medically proven, but it was mindblowing. Might be tempted to do that again, and by again, I mean possibly clog my arteries at yet another establishment.  Anywho, my name is Nathalie, how are you doing this fine day? Better yet, do you have any favorite hole-in-the-wall places? @hfrpstarters​

[b-bcrnes]

You ventured off into the city I live in and you didn't call me?! You’re breaking my heart, Nath, I hope you know that. Especially now that I know that you ate a mindblowing meal. I don’t know if you deserve to know what are my favourite hole-in-the-wall places, now. I think I’m gonna have to cancel our friendship, instead.

[corenswct]

this is gonna come off as super pretentious but i’ve been so bad at discovering music lately. now, i’m convinced i’m apart of the one percent of people who go through their discover weekly playlist and actually listen to the whole thing to find new artists. lately, though, i feel like i haven’t heard anything new that’s really caught my attention. you know what that means? i’m looking for recommendations, as any dignified self-proclaimed music connoisseur would! what have you guys been listening to? tell me your favorite artists, albums, or even podcasts – i’m not picky. it’s so easy to get stuck in the same sound, so i wanna see the music world through other people’s eyes. i’m david, by the way. while we’re swapping recommendations, i recommend that you watch season two of the politician on netflix when it drops in a few days. @hfrpstarters​

[b-bcrnes]

I've been in that situation way too often. But it's kinda cool, it's fun to discover new artists and to fall in love with new songs. Recently I've been listening to "Blessed" by Daniel Caesar, "Voices" by Hurts and I found this new song, yesterday, "If I Build A Home On The Moon" by Picture This. Love it. That being said, I also enjoy listening to older stuff like Elton, or The Beatles. Congrats on the new season of The Politician! I haven’t seen a lot of it yet but so far, it has been a good one!

i probably shouldn’t admit this out loud, but im hoping that it happens to lots of other people too and not just me. so any time i try to make popcorn on the microwave, the first batch burns. every. single. time. i don’t even put it on the full time! i follow all of the directions. i don’t know why this happens. then when i make a second bag, if i have one, it’s completely fine. even if the house smells of burnt popcorn which is horrible. what the hell am i doing wrong? im going to make a great wife one day aren’t i? im an adult i should be able to handle using the microwave! im open to tips and tricks. @hfrpstarters​

[b-bcrnes]

I don't know if it's going to help you feeling better but the same thing happens to me with pancakes. The first ones are never good. They burn, or they stick to the pan, it isn't good. But then, everything's alright. Perhaps it is just a matter of temperatures? Like the microwaves get hot too fast so the first bag ends up burning? I don’t know.

I’ve been wearing sweatpants so much lately and at first, I was like this is a bad thing but it’s not. It’s never felt more right. I may be going crazy having some time off finally but at least I’m living that life in comfort. Speaking of crazy, I promise I’m not or at least, I’m not psycho assassin level. That’s just me on tv. The name’s Jodie and if you couldn’t tell, introductions aren’t my strongest suit. @hfrpstarters​

[b-bcrnes]

I'm pretty sure that Tan France would call wearing sweatpants a sin but to be honest, I'm all for comfy clothes. Especially when you can finally enjoy some time off! I’m glad to hear that you aren’t as crazy as Villanelle, although she is absolutely fantastic. Full psycho, but incredible. It’s nice to meet you, Jodie. I’m Ben.

zoeydth​:

You know, I wish I could tell you I did it. But no, it’s all the crew, I’m not that talented. Are you very disappointed? Oh don’t worry about your birthday, I’ve already thought about it a little.

Disappointed? No, not at all. I’m actually kinda relieved because... no offence to the artist who did it but... I don’t know if that kind of art would go along with my house decoration. But now I don’t know if I should be excited over the fact that you’ve been thinking about it, or if I should get worried.

[camimendex]

Do you ever have the feeling that someone is stalking you while walking down a street? Because at times, I do. And when I turn around to look behind me there is no one. It’s creepy, and for some reasons it gives me goosebumps.

@hfrpstarters

[b-bcrnes]

I’m glad to say that I’ve never had that kind of feeling, given that it must be very disturbing and scary. Let’s just hope that no one is behind you and that you’ve just been watching too many horror movies, or something?
