Thought I’d finally come here and say hi! Director!Agatha absolutely lives rent free in my gay little feral brain like as a filmmaker myself, I’d let her direct me any day if you know what I mean 😉
Idk if you’ve answered this before but what do you think would be Director!Agatha’s Letterboxd four faves be?
Anyway, absolutely ADORE EVERYTHING about the fic like you are cooking so hard rn and I am totally stoked for the next chapter!!
OHH hiii, bestie! 👋 I love this!! 💜
What an awesome question. Oh god, I'm a bit of a nerd with things like this and it got me thinking.
FYI: there may or may not be some very discreet foreshadowing for what's to come in LCM with some of these choices:
Mulholland Drive (dir. David Lynch): This is a personal favourite of mine, but I feel like it's that perfect mix of thriller/neo-noir film mixed with the sinister-Hollywood vibe that would be right up Agatha's alley. Also: I feel like she'd love it for those scenes with Betty & Rita/Diane & Camilla ("you drive me wild" 😵💫😵💫).
Rebecca (dir. Alfred Hitchcock): I feel like a big director like her would definitely have a Hitchcock movie in her top four faves. And the power dynamics/obsession in it?? Think it's that perfect psychological thriller that director!Agatha would love/be inspired by.
All About Eve (dir. Joseph L. Mankiewicz): can imagine director!Agatha loving the dynamic between Bette Davis' and Anne Baxter's characters in this. The manipulation, themes of womanhood and fame... and Eve was totally a lesbian, right??
Hocus Pocus (dir. Kenny Ortega): I feel like she'd have this one in there for the sheer irony. As a "fuck you" to everyone who gossips about her and nicknames her the "Wicked Witch of West Hollywood." That, and I think she'd be a huge Bette Midler fan. 😂
This was super fun, thank you, fellow film nerd!! 💜 Aaaaand now all I'm thinking about is writing in a scene where Agatha and our beloved reader are getting cozy in the cinema room of her mansion and watching one of these...
And thanks so much for loving LCM 😭 your comments always make me smile so hard!
I just knew that Agatha would have exquisite taste and all those movies are so her coded and go SO HARD but also her and reader having a movie night would be adorable like Agatha would totally have a range of bougie and high quality movie snacks and stuff ✨
Thank you so much for writing this awesome fic! How can I not keep commenting when it’s so damn good 😌
Lou not wanting to kill, even if she craves for it, because it makes her remember killing for her father, makes her her father. Lou freeing herself from the fear after seeing her girlfriend kill, and being prepared to kill, to the point the last scene become a comedy, the horrors not the killing but just the trauma connected to it.
Jackie having a complex relationship with her body, no more fat but still so in her mind. Jackie transforming more and more during the movie, not only by testosterone but by the cravings for justice by violence, violence she probably already did before, before running away from her village. Jackie finding freedome in defending Lou, her killer body now something good and just.
Love as a justification for violence, purifying it.
billing that babygirl nicole kidman joint as the sexiest movie of the year is so hetero it's fucking annoying. Love Lies Bleeding was right there, but did any of you film bros see it? NO! Because you cant fuck Kristen Stewart.
I have now seen Love Lies Bleeding and tbh I too would risk it all for my beautiful large murderer girlfriend. maybe fiction IS meant to be aspirational.
one maybe annoying thing I do with movies now that I'm writing so frequently is connecting little pieces together. For example, Lou in "Love Lies Bleeding" speaks a lot like her father does, especially towards Jackie. It's a subtle thing but speaks so much to a character that I can't help but make people pause things just to talk about it
This is sooooo indulgent, my mind is just taken over by her… Here are some head cannons I daydreamed up with my pussy
Warnings: Some very very mild sexual implications
Female! Logan doesn’t shave. Like ever. Due to her animalistic properties, the hair just grows back in a matter of hours, so it’s not worth the upkeep. She occasionally tries her best for special events, but it’s always rendered useless. Plus, she knows you don’t mind anyway, it’s just so much work.
Bras are her worst enemy. Occasionally she’ll fight in a sports bra, but you will never catch her in one of those frilly Victoria's Secret bras. Unless you ask, of course. Then she’ll gladly drop a small fortune on a cute little bra and underwear set just for you.
Every month the day before her period her cramps hit her like a truck. Despite her advanced regenerative properties, her uterus seems to be the exception. Seeing her outside her room during this time is an accomplishment as she is practically bedridden. The only way she truly survives these times is due to your care and support. You provide all her favorite foods and offer her numerous heating pads and other soothing ointments. Female! Logan will never admit it, but she absolutely adores being babied by you.
She is usually the big spoon, scooping you up in her muscular arms. She presses you firmly to her chest and sometimes, if you're lucky, lets you turn around and practically smother yourself in her tits while cuddling. It’s like a small dosage of heaven. Wolverine would pepper small kisses in your hair, smelling your sweet shampoo.
Other times when she’s feeling particularly soft, she’ll allow you to embrace her from behind, acting as the big spoon.
Her arm is always around you, no question whatsoever. She’s far from insecure in your relationship, knowing how loyal you are to each other, but she just loves flaunting you to others. This pretty little thing on her hip? Yeah, that’s her girlfriend. Jealous? You should be. At least that’s Female! Logan’s mentality.
When it’s your turn to cling onto Female! Logan, it’s always onto her arms. You love feeling the hard and soft muscles flex under your fingertips. It always gets you going.
Female! Logan is not a fan of Scott Summers. Not in the slightest. The first time you came around Xavier’s to meet the other mutants he was instantly intrigued by you. Some light conversation led to flirting on his part. Usually, he’s smart enough not to mess with Female! Logan, but he hadn’t assumed the two of you were dating until he got a swift punch right along his jawline. From then on Female! Logan has assured you were never left alone in a room with Summers for longer than thirty seconds.
Instead of adopting regular Logan’s alcoholism, Female! Logan tends to stay more on the side of smoking. Hand her a fresh pack of Marlboro Reds and she’ll reward you that night. ;)
Admittedly, she doesn’t smell great. It could be worse, but hygiene is not one of her top concerns. Every year as one of the smaller gifts you give her is a bottle of Bath & Body Works body washes, and every year you end up just using it yourself. She believes taking brisk showers is most effective, she doesn’t have time to slather herself in expensive products. You always wonder how her hair stays so fluffy. You suppose it’s just natural.
Speaking of her hair, you are OBSESSED. She has a short layered wolf cut with the classic ear tufts, which you’re pretty sure are natural since you never see her style them. If you’re ever having a rough night just pet and play with your girlfriend’s hair for a few minutes and you’re out like a baby. Sometimes you think she has you under a magical spell.
Backtracking to showering, you end up showering together a lot. Female! Logan always happens to need to shower at the same time you do, but you know it’s her way of asking if she could join. Of course, the answer is always yes. Her mentality of quick showers immediately goes out the window when she watches you strip down and stand under the running water. The shower wasn’t the only thing wet at that moment.
After your extracurricular activities in the shower, the aftercare is always sweet and loving. Hot water falls over both your bodies as you rub each other's skin with soap lovingly. You scrub the shampoo into her scalp, she exfoliates your legs. Once you’re both done you immediately get into your pajamas and cuddle under a nice blanket, watching something until you’re both soundly asleep.
Everyone at the mansion thinks you guys are so cute. They constantly tease Female! Logan for being able to snag such a positive, sunshiny girlfriend. She typically shrugs them off with a mean glare and a snarky comment back, but deep down she knows she’s truly lucky to have found someone as accepting and loving as you. Sometimes she doesn’t feel she’s worth the hassle, but you always find a way to reassure her.
It takes a few years for Female! Logan to propose, mostly because of her insecurities as a mutant, but when she does you are instantly in shambles, bawling out your acceptance.
Female! Logan never thought she would get married, especially not to a regular human. She never thought humans could ever fully understand and accept a mutant the way that you do. Additionally, she fears her lifestyle will get you hurt, something that haunts her nightmares. But after seeing your beautiful bright smile after she popped the question there was no doubt in her mind she needed you as her wife.
A big wedding was never what either of you wanted. If she was being honest, Female! Logan would have been happy with just eloping, but you wanted to do something small and she could never say no to you.
On a warm day in spring, the two of you finally wed, the other residents of the mansion applauding the two of you. It was a small crowd, only a few select friends, but it couldn’t have felt more perfect for the two of you.
a/n: I could easily write more. Someone please request a oneshot with her (and also name ideas, I don’t want to keep referring to her as Female! Logan. I’m not sure if there is already an agreed-upon name for her.)
