trust me ally MB is as real as they come. consider us lucky lucky lucky to get to watch her come to life every single time you put something out there. she’s undeniably real af. and it’s bc of you - all your characters are real. that takes sm care. she’s real bc you love her and you make it impossible not to fall in love with her (and you) too.

well look who thinks it’s ok to be absurdly nice in my inbox for no reason. everybody point and laugh at lux for being so warm and bright and effortlessly charming and badass and wonderful everywhere she goes. ha! hahaha! i adore you to the moon and back. i love building things with you and reading every word of what you put out. your characterizations and plots drive me up a fucking wall with how much i enjoy it all. it takes two to create dynamics that make me want to chew a hole through my fist and i’m so lucky it’s you i get to do it with. it’s terrific practice for when i’ve moved out west and we’re making movies together yes? 

[afallowmoon]

I want my characters to feel real. So sometimes that means they’re indecisive or pigheaded despite knowing they are wrong. It means they tell lies and withhold truths. They’re prideful and guilty and hopeful and pessimistic and afraid and they contradict themselves. Sometimes in the same sentence. They all have flaws and they aren’t always tempered with positive traits. Sometimes their most shining choices have selfish motives. Sometimes their selfish choices have shining motives. I just hope that whatever they are, there are moments that seem relatable.

❝   i seriously don’t like you right now,   ❞     she mumbles,  perfectly monotone.  a long shoot has her on edge,  mara slipping from the fringes of combined adderall,  caffeine,  stress,  and exhaustion   :   pure discipline carried her through her lines without much incident today,  but she’s slumped against the window now,  thoroughly tired and looking it.     ❝   they send more than one car for a reason,  you know,  there was a perfectly fine car behind this one.  a great car.  a better car,  probably.  it’s not too late to hop the fuck out and take that one.   ❞     it is,  the driver’s already en route,  but she jerks her head toward the door anyway.

male directors are like “i know just the actor for this role, my fave male bestie who i’ve cast thirteen other times” like im going to assume you’re gay as hell 

[thecryptkeeper]

do you think scorsese and de niro have kissed. it’d be less gay than saying “i’ve worked on nine films with this other man”

morticane·:

morticia’s life had always been lived in pursuit of death   :       she teased herself with its inevitability,    edged towards the sweet void and carefully side - stepped its vicious touch        (        one day,  one day,   one day        ).        DEATH WAS ALWAYS JUST AROUND THE CORNER        …        her ancestors had been lucky enough to endure all sorts of macabre endings.     burned alive for being witches,    drowned in salt - fresh oceans,    trampled by horses       –       her end was a tantalizing affair and morticia had imagined it over and over again,    worn and weary from use.      one day,   one day,   one day.         ‘   how lucky.    how did they pass?   ’        dreaminess blends easily into fluttering eyelashes and a pale hand resting against her chest,    her beating heart becoming a mockery in her chest       (       curiosity has never been sated in her   :       she hungers and bites and devours,     a watchful mouth       ).      when mara’s hand parades in front of her face,    morticia slips the hand between her own       –       the touch of the venus flytrap,   quick and deft,    brushing over the faded nail polish.        ‘   black and green can work well,   if the green is all natural.    homegrown mold is so hard to cultivate,   though,    you have to dedicate yourself to it,    like a child.   ’

❝   uh...  the one on my dad’s side died in her sleep,  she was just old.  the other one had a heart attack,  i think.  i don’t really remember.  i was young both times,  we weren’t close.  it wasn’t really a big deal.   ❞     childhood came too crowded in cameras and friday night premieres for any other big deals.  for a long while,  the only room was reserved for mara and her flashbulb smiles,  a daughter of the arts who learned to read off of teleprompters.  she saved her mourning for the off-season   :   a sad twist of fate later,  and she spent the next fifteen years crying enough tears for every father,  mother,  and grandparent taken from the world.     ❝   hm.  mold,  yeah.   ❞     she gives it a beat of consideration,  her stare sweeping over the pair of their hands curiously.     ❝   or i can just take you to,  like,  sephora some time.   ❞     mara lifts her palm free and tucks it in her back pocket.  the spotlight’s always a welcome warmth,  her home away from home,  but the one she’s getting now is more like a magnifying glass with a lick of flame dancing over it.  mara blinks,  braving a closer look at morticia.     ❝   but really any accent color would look great on you.  maybe not yellow.  but anything else.  monochrome’s great,  but long run?  it’s not gonna do you any favors.  trust me,  i tried the all-black thing once,  and i looked like a total ghoul in half my pictures for six months straight.   ❞

hot/crazy scale test.

you are 90% hot, 96.25% crazy, which places you in the danger zone.

people in the danger zone are physically attractive and often seductive, yet they’re also unpredictable and volatile.  they may be mysterious and intriguing from a distance, yet relationships with them often veer into treacherous territory.  unsuspecting men and women are often lured into romances with people from the danger zone, yet (according to the theory) relationships with them are destined to fail.  many people in the danger zone are in fact crazier than they first appear.  some are good at hiding it, and, in general, people give the benefit of the doubt to people of their level of attractiveness.  some followers of the hot-crazy matrix believe that relationships with people in the danger zone are liable to end with cars getting keyed, tires getting slashed, and law enforcement getting involved.

@jupiter3​   ...    sex + romance headcanons.

💗 has my muse ever been in love? 

many, many times. mara doesn’t fall in love easily but she does fall very hard. she’s an unstable bitch with a big heart. a lot of love to give and a lot of love to withhold when she wants. 

🎆 is my muse into monogamy? 

yes! she can be surprisingly committed with the right person. it doesn’t always sit right with her as an idea, she gets nervous at the thought of it and might start to feel a bit trapped, but in practice she’s very happy to stay with one person as long as she’s in love.

💑 what are my muse’s requirements for a potential partner?

it’s very important that they show her the right balance of adoration and validation without bullshitting her - mara doesn’t want a yes man, she knows she’s oftentimes a nightmare and she can handle being called out on that, but they still have to be very complimentary, very fond of her, very sweet. she needs a good deal of attention and praise. supporting her as an actress and believing in her is super important to her. she also needs someone she can kinda fight with every now and then, whether it’s playful bickering or just slightly more explosive arguments. otherwise, if it’s all smooth sailing, mara panics and starts subconsciously creating problems. as long as it ends well, it’s healthy for her to get a bit of her natural aggression out that way. more superficially, good sex is a must. regular affection in general; she’s big on touch and quality time. it’s a huge plus if there’s a shared interest of pop culture/show business or drugs. and they’ve got to be able to make her laugh a lot. she’s a silly goofy girl <3
