I fell in love with this cute picture of Cillian at the Oscars and i just wasn't feeling up to drawing it until then... I'm rather happy with how it looks (drawing blurry flowers is hard haha)
Since the costume design aspect of Polly's character is so important, I'm going to make a series of gifsets in appreciation, looking at how it changes based on her arc in the show!
So sooo proud of him! 🥰 It's been a while since I last saw an actor deserve to win all the awards under the sun for a role - Cillian's win was absolutely deserved 🏆
"Limes," says Jude, looking up at him and shielding his eyes against the sun.
“Right, he says, and bends down, takes Jude's sunglasses off him, kisses him on his eyelids, and replaces his glasses. Summer, JB has always said, is Jude's season: his skin darkens and his hair lightens to almost the same shade, making his eyes turn an unnatural green, and Willem has to keep himself from touching him too much. "I'll be back in a little while."
So, besties. I unveiled this little feature last year, but between one thing and another only ran it one time (because I am le crap :p) for you all. I feel it is time to rectify.
The rules are simple. Pick a man below, pick a number between one and fifty, and tell me your smutty little fantasy you would like for me to create for you, and then submit it on an ask. ONE REQUEST PER PERSON, and you CANNOT submit on anon. You will have until Saturday (Jan 27th) to submit your fantasy. Try not to write the complete idea yourself (I have had submissions like that before that are overly detailed, and I sadly have to deny them if they don't allow me my creative freedom) and please understand that if I do not vibe well with the idea, I may make adjustments, but yes, ask away, besties! The beautiful men I will write for are as follows -
John Shelby (Peaky Blinders)
Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders)
Arthur Shelby (Peaky Blinders)
Alfie Solomons (Peaky Blinders)

The winner will be drawn from a random number generator this Saturday evening (GMT) and announced duly. Please reblog to spread the word! Good luck :)
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
When the Oppenheimer star won the Golden Globe for Best Actor last night, he looked like a normal person who had somehow beamed into peak Ti
'When Cillian Murphy took to the podium during Sunday night’s Golden Globes, his nose smudged in his wife’s lipstick, it was as if a door had opened on this Hollywood Neverland and an ambassador for the real world had stepped through.
Accepting the Best Actor in a Drama award for Oppenheimer, Murphy wasn’t so much un-starry as stonkingly everyday. Here was a normal person who had somehow beamed into peak Tinseltown and, if pleased, was also clearly a bit perplexed by it all.
The Oppenheimer win has made Murphy a frontrunner for the Oscars. In all likelihood, he will be up against a creepy Barry Keoghan in Saltburn, an overblown Bradley Cooper in Maestro, and a fervent Leonard DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon. With the arguable exception of the grandstanding Cooper, all would be worthy winners. And yet, underdogs everywhere will be cheering for Murphy. He’s spent the past 20 years negotiating Hollywood on his own terms and has rejected Tinseltown’s showiness in favour of staying grounded and playing the long game.
Murphy always wanted to be an actor rather than a star. Such a choice could easily have condemned him to a lifetime of supporting roles. Or a hiatus in TV, to which he seemed exiled when he settled in for a long run as Tommy Shelby in Birmingham noir Peaky Blinders.
But his decision to turn away from flashy parts has proved inspired. He is that rarest of things: an experienced A-list actor who comes to the Oscars without baggage. Unlike DiCaprio, he hasn’t had to overcome a past life as a teen pin-up. Nor does he have to justify a lucrative stint in comic book films, as Cooper has with his time as Rocket Racoon in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Above all, Murphy goes into Oscar season as an antidote to the “look at me!” culture of the social media era. In an age when fame is regarded as the ultimate commodity – more important than awards or critical acclaim – Murphy would rather let his work speak for itself. He lives humbly in suburban Dublin with his wife and two children – and his great passion outside of acting is music, as demonstrated by his semi-regular presenting slot on BBC 6 Music.
That’s lifetimes removed from Hollywood, with its self-mythologising and turbo-charged fakeness. It is also of a piece with his career since he broke through playing a survivor of the zombie apocalypse in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later. Ever since, he has chosen his jobs thoughtfully. In so doing, he has assembled a body of work of which he can be proud.
He hasn’t been above popcorn. He was a memorable villain in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, where he played the Scarecrow as a trippy nightmare. But even when shooting for the box office, Murphy has been studiedly un-starry. Careful to keep his ego in check, he’s often happy in an ensemble – hugging the background in A Quiet Place II and settling for an extended cameo in Nolan’s Dunkirk, where he was content to let Harry Styles and Tom Hardy hog the spotlight.
Hog it they did – yet it was Murphy who proved to be in it for the long road. Because he could go into Oppenheimer without a Hollywood aura, he disappeared into the role. If hardly obscure, he nonetheless assimilated fully into the part. Throughout that film, you were aware of its stars. Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt doing their best with under-written female characters. Robert Downey Jr trying to pretend he hadn’t spent a decade as Iron Man.
Murphy, by contrast, split the acting atom. He vanished into Oppenheimer with a performance that exuded humility and sincerity. Bookies have now installed him as a favourite for the Best Actor Oscar. If he wins, it would be a victory for knowing who you are and what you stand for and believing good work has value beyond short-term acclaim. Above all, his success shows that it is possible to stay grounded while scaling Hollywood’s giddiest heights.'
Not sure if it's his face's incredible bone structure, Cillian's ability to express multiple raw emotions with his eyes only, or if it's the photographer's talent, but I can't stop admiring how the lights & shadows keep caressing his face.
We're so lucky that he got the Oppenheimer part and is now in the spotlight, all the new photoshoots & interviews & video clips are so amazing ❤️
There should be some of that good old American Cornfield Horror shit, you know with strange radio transmissions and fucked up deer and stuff, but in Australia. Guy whose car breaks down on a stretch of road with nothing but sheep and cattle farms for 100km in any direction. No phone service to call RAA. Both of these things are completely normal but is that... the lights of a town in the distance? Can't be. There's no town here on the map. The am radio station he's been listening to for the past three hours is fucked up now, somehow. He sees a truck approaching in the distance and gets out to wave it down, but it somehow... doesn't arrive? Turns back to his car. There it is -- the most fucked up kangaroo he's ever seen in his life.
