The Great Gatsby (2013)
i haven’t watched euphoria, what makes it so good?? ☺️💛
Oh man, so many things. So many things! Euphoria is such an innovative, gorgeous, painful television show to watch. It’s entirely in its own league. I know that a lot of people compare it to Skins and even say that it’s what a fully-realized Skins US could have been, but I disagree. I adore Skins with my whole heart, and there are definitely obvious similarities, but comparing Euphoria to anything else does it a total disservice. Let me break it down for you.
story: In keeping with this generation’s aesthetic, watching Euphoria is like assembling a collage of flashbacks, cartoons, visions, memories, and montages. It takes your hand and weaves you in and out of its main storyline—Rue’s addiction—to unravel the teenage experience, beginning at the plights of first crushes and sexting then sinking its fingers deep into the gore of that age. I love how ugly it gets. It sounds weird, but I’m impressed with that awful feeling it gave me in my gut (many of the scenes are not for the faint of heart). Rue’s portrayal of her bipolar disorder, breaking down mania and depression especially, was heart-wrenching and so real to me. I just love the structure of the show, I love how unafraid it is, I love what a whirlwind it is, like being on a roller coaster. I don’t want to give anything away, but it is…wow.
writing: The writing in this is soft and sarcastic, a bit juvenile and surprisingly emotional. They talk like teenagers and they hurt like teenagers, and you can feel that. Rue’s narration is quiet but powerful, like you’re being let in on a secret but still don’t know the half of it. There are a few monologues that I replayed to listen to again just to feel what they made me feel one more time. UGH.
makeup: THE. MAKEUP. ON. THIS. SHOW. What sets Euphoria apart is that it uses everything it has to help tell its story. The girls paint their faces with clouds and glitter, neon and jewels, capturing the playfulness of a teenager while letting the viewer in on some pretty deep symbolism. Rue’s glitter almost always falls like tears. Jules starts the show off with a rainbow palette, which darkens to black by the final episode. Maddy’s looks are always that of a slightly skewed pageant queen, which, well… And those are just a few examples.
costume: Same with the makeup, the outfits are outrageous but accurate and absolutely make sense when you begin to peel back the layers of each character with every episode. I can’t elaborate too much because I don’t want to spoil it for you, but for me it was the equivalent of stepping back from a painting after studying its fine details, realizing how it all came together for a bigger picture.
cinematography: Euphoria is so, so pretty. The hues, the streets, the lighting, the colors, the angles. *fans self* Watching it feels like slipping into a dream, one that’s neither good or bad, just utterly surreal. From the commercials, you might have seen Rue’s famous tripping scene in which she takes drugs and the room becomes a hamster wheel and she begins to walk along the walls and ceiling. The camerawork is sometimes louder than the script—very powerful.
music: I mean…Labrinth runs the show on Euphoria with phenomenal and heady songs like All For Us and Mount Everest, which was a brilliant choice. His voice is threaded through the story, keeping you tethered to its very beginning and sort of always keeping you on edge, but in a beautiful way. Aside from that, it’s obvious that every song selected for each scene was done so with a lot of purpose. The tones are always very strong and captivating. Half of my music library was built from me Googling the lyrics of every song on the show. D:
acting: THESE ACTORS. OH MY GOD. The casting department did the lord’s work when they brought this ensemble together. A diverse cast with so much talent. Zendaya is fucking amazing as Rue, I can’t believe how many times she ripped my heart out as both narrator and lead. Jacob Elordi gives a chilling performance as Nate. I’ve never been so terrified of a character, even on a horror show. There were some scenes that made my skin crawl. I’m not usually very squeamish, but I had to look away; that’s how intense it got. And the rest of the cast…they’re all amazing. The characters they portray are complicated and immature and gorgeous and unlikeable but also likable. I loved that I found things to love and hate in all of them and the show wasn’t trying to sway me in either direction.
Overall, Euphoria is a total work of art, a total fever dream, an absolute experience. I can rarely sit through a show that demands 100% of my attention, but I did that every week, and I was left with my jaw on the floor every time. I just love it so much and you should totally watch it, okay?
Inst @dennielias
While the criminal aspect of Chicago was growing alarmingly, the fighting between both families finally erupted past the point of no return in December of 2018.
An arms deal gone wrong.
The families made it a point to never do business with each other. Despite this, their employees often did so in secret.
After an explosion almost killed the youngest of the Sinclairs, both families came together to discuss some sort of peace offering.
No more fighting.
There had to be some resolution.

name/alias:
yeooo, my name is cleoo(: i’m a lil late to the talk tag game, my b but i’m a sag—what can i say?
writer favorites:
faceclaim(s): UGh, hard ass question, there’s so many!! I love, love, love Zoe Kravitz, Ana de Armas, Margarita Levieva, Alicia Vikander, Zoe Saldana, Tom Hardy, Jon Bernthal, and Idris Elba. For a younger cast, I’ve honestly been loving everyone from The Society; I feel like they’re all so great and have such range, hence why I opted for Kristine for Wisp.
muse(s): I honestly don’t really have muses that I play as currently, but I do have a couple of original characters that I had in RPs that will always have a place in my heart. There was Frenchie, a Zoe Kravtiz fc who was a bartender in a town in Nevada and in the mafia. I loved her because she was lil but tough. I also had a Gal Gadot fc who was a gambler and it took place in the 20s in France, so it was really cool because sis was a scammer hehehe.
character(s): wow the last non oc characters i’ve played were blair waldorf—for, like, a reaaaally long time, katherine pierce, damon salvatore, you know? but i haven’t played a character in mad long tbh. i totally miss those days, wow.
get to know me:
if you were to read a headline about me, it would read…
“20-year-old caught transporting 20 pounds of marijuana through JFK airport.” tbh, i’m pretty boring otherwise.
if i were a ghost, i would haunt…
seth rogen, just see what he’s about during his day-to-day life.
if i got stuck in an elevator and were forced to listen to only one song, it would be…
Dang! by Mac Miller (rest in peace<3)
if i could describe myself in one gif, i would use…
what concept has piqued your interest/are you most excited to see?: i’m going for wisp(: but i’ve been looking about at the other concepts for sure.

FAVORITES
What’s your favorite character trope? Man, I love to play so many types of characters, so I’m not sure what to narrow it down to. I’d definitely say I like to play The Badass (male or female, preferably female bc ugh yes bad bitch) – someone that takes no shit and can hold their own, respected and maybe even a little feared, and with confidence teetering on the edge of cockiness. I do also love the Femme Fatale, like Sass said.
Favorite food? I’m always down for breakfast, so if not a bacon, egg, and cheese (there’s this Italian deli around the corner from my house that literally hooks it up with the heftiest and yet perfectly balanced ratios of everything on a freshly made Italian roll made that morning, like wow) then definitely chocolate chip Belgian waffles.
Favorite character? Carmela Soprano, The Sopranos.
Favorite color? Either a nice grey-ish purple or a pretty deep, blue/teal.
Favorite band/musician? Oof, this is hard. I’ll just go with Drake.
Favorite show/movie? The Handmaid’s Tale or GOT (up until season 6-7) but I’m super stoked for Stranger Things!!
POWER OF CHOICE
I would probably do teleportation like in the movie Jumper. Could literally just rob a bank and then—poof! you’re back in your room with STACKS. Ugh that’d also be such a blessing so I wouldn’t have to deal with the subway!! Also, like instant vacation??? I’m out.
YOUR ZODIAC
Sagittarius Sun/Leo Moon (I’m also a Leo Rising lmfaoooo)
ASCENDANT(S) OF CHOICE
The Sweet Talker and I’ve definitely been eyeing a few more as I’ve been skimming through.
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO ASCENDANT?
Honestly, I’ve always been interested in astrology since I was a little girl. Like, I flipping through the magazines at the grocery store to get to the horoscope section while my mom bought everything at what, 10? In middle school I’d eventually gotten around to learning about the birth charts and houses and stuff and I got super into astrology and my love for writing had always been there so when I saw an RP combining the two, I was shook ngl. I feel like this is perfect for me lmfao and it’s such a cool concept! I also LOVE mafia movies, mafia rps, mafia everything. GoodFellas is probably my favorite movie of all time, haha.
THIS OR THAT?
fire or earth or air or water (perhaps a little biased of me)
be loved or be feared
mental power or physical power
past or future
introverted or extroverted
GIF OF CHOICE
love me some chris tucker!

welcome to THE ZODIAC
ASCENDANTS, the so called royalty within New York City, have tied their life to infamy in exchange for power, glory and fortune. While the general public fears their power, Ascendants are the 1% of the 1%: the forsaken, the lost, the evil and the dreamers whose desire got them into a one century long fight between the mobs…
ASCENDANT-RP is a superpower/mafia rp which describes four mobs based on the four elements and their never ending strife within New York City. With technology at its peak one century after their first meeting the Mafia controls vast amounts of New York City’s economy and has managed to buy themselves into the elite and enjoy their rebirth as Ascendants, humans injected with technology to give them superhuman abilities. Each character is based on one sun/moon combination which ultimately adds to the theme of Zodiacs. All mobs are named after one Zodiac, which serves both as a code name around other mobs and a way of identification, a name all mobsters of each respective Zodiac wear with pride.

TO THE RPC: A NOTE ON WITHERPG & THECOVENANTRP
To state this off the bat: this is not a call out, this is not meant to be an assault on character, and I will do my best to be as fair as possible to all parties. That being said, I do feel a warning/disclaimer is due. Let me preface everything by saying the admin involved, Admin Tokyo, has apologized, handed over the login information to our old rp main we requested, and removed our biographies (without our asking). That being said, we have asked twice for a public post to acknowledge the missteps taken and creative content used without permission, and he has denied that. At this point, if he won’t put it on a public platform, I will. While I’m appreciative of the apologies he’s given and the removal of our content from Wither, I think it’s unfair to myself, my coadmin, and our work that we not get acknowledgement. We, and Bindlebrim deserve better. So, in short:
Content from myself and Charlie’s 2013 roleplay has been used without permission. It was used on 2 separate roleplays (witherpg, thecovenantrp) over the course of 9 months without credit. Which, without making this post myself, we will never get.
Admin Tokyo was given our blessing to revamp Bindlebrim Hallows after it died in 2013. Please note we allowed him to continue with BBH, which is severely different from removing, altering, and reusing our creative content in an entirely new setting. Last week, Charlie and I sent a message to @witherpg in regards to who was running the place, where they had received our content, and if they could please give us proper credit. It was exceedingly kind, and we did not so much as ask them to remove our work, though we had every right to. Tokyo responded on his personal account with apologies and promised to help us with recovering our old BBH account (which he did). He did not respond to our next message for 3 days, and in that time our good faith faded when I later found he had used our biographies/locations/species lore on yet another roleplay. Covenant (@thecovenantrp-goodbye) began in 2018 and including a thank you page without mention of us, and an admin page where Tokyo stated “I came up with the idea for this roleplay after months of obsessing over the show The Magicians (…) With the help of slowly getting the admin team together, I was able to bring my vision to life.”
Since then, we’ve also come to find promotions, posts, and character blogs which state the roleplay was established in 2017. Whether this incarnation included content from Bindlebrim we cannot say for sure, as no information from that main account remains.
Greater details are below the cut. Please keep in mind that coadmins and players at Wither who likely knew nothing at all of the situation are not to blame.
I would ask that you reblog this post if you can. While again both myself and Charlie are appreciative of the steps Tokyo has taken, this does not feel right to me. Our content was used potentially 3 times over the course of 2 years (each time we had to find out ourselves), and he’s not willing to make any admission in a public space. The Covenant URL was changed and made private, the majority of our content was removed, and yet credit has still not been added to their main page even now. Other than this post, nobody will know just how much of our intellectual property was used, and I want people to know those were Charlie and I’s things. I want fair treatment for Bindlebrim. And I want to point out what is absolutely improper behaviour in the RPC.

THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS, masked in endless bright lights and surrounded by the Mojave Desert, is now home to three mob families. Two of them have managed to coexist peacefully for the last thirty years. They knew their boundaries. But, whenever the Romanos arrived in Las Vegas, everything changed.
They weren’t just another rich family. They were competitive and territorial behind closed doors. They moved discreetly in just about every thing that they did. They waited patiently as they finalized the details of their most sinister ploy to date. To the people of Vegas, they were harmless.
No one really knew what they were capable of.
Everything changed so quickly, and a declaration of war was made.
This story of betrayal, death, and revenge has only just begun…
Live by Night RPG is a literate criminal roleplay that follows a recently ignited war. The city finds itself divided among two existing crime families, not knowing that a third has entered the game.
