The web links only work in browser but they do give a better overview than just scrolling through the app imo!

Kudos & Comment on Ao3 and reblogs & replies on tumblr are always appreciated! <3

I also have a tag list for when I (pretty infrequently, but it does happen xD) upload new W13 stuff, lmk if you want me to @ you whenever I post something! I mostly post on my main blog and then reblog here later, so don't be surprised when @lilolilyr tags you :D

Taking Prompts! I might take ages to reply, but if you send me an ask with a fic idea over on @lilolilyr I'll probably write at least something short :D eventually.

You can also find me in a bunch of other fandoms, and on Ao3, bluesky and in the Meeting at Gunpoint discord server!

As for reblogs, I tend to tag them fic manip art meme moodboard gif video fanfic idea so you can definitely find stuff in those tags, but I probably don't tag that consistently, mostly I just fast reblog stuff to share :)

Watching Notting Hill and thinking about Bering and Wells, and I have warring opinions on who's who.

Helena as the bookstore owner: well she's English, innit? And the whole thing is set in London, with the city/Notting Hill being not just any location. You can't just plop the whole thing into, say, Denver.

Myka as the actress: works with Anna's imposter syndrome, her Americanness, her awkward dorkiness and occasional gutsiness.

Based on vibes and personality, they both fit that way around.

But also!

Anna is a fish out of water for a lot of this movie, and lonely due to her circumstances - and Helena fits better with that, 100%. And Myka as a bookstore owner basically writes itself.

Thoughts? @lonely-night I know you've been talking about this forever, what do you think?

[purlturtle]

I've been thinking some more about this - like, what if the bookshop wasn't a travel bookshop but a feminist/queer bookshop? The movie is set in a time when those existed and were important community hubs, and it would open the story up to the following:

What if part of the story is Anna/Myka figuring out that she's queer, and/or starting on her path to be more open about her queerness?

Maybe she's known for a while that she isn't straight, but being as much in the public eye as she is, and having had the example of Ellen DeGeneres' coming out and the consequences of that (guest star Laura Dern was blacklisted by Hollywood for a year and a half afterwards), she struggles with the idea, and her publicist and her agent both strongly advise against it. Maybe she even fires one of them for advising against coming across "too feminist; people will think you're gay."

So she finds out about this bookshop in Notting Hill, queer, feminist, and seeks it out while shooting, visiting it on an afternoon off, and she sees the owner and it's like she's hit by lightning. This isn't what she feels for Sam, her boyfriend (also an actor, knows how to play the fame game, but slightly dismissive of her/uses her for his own publicity). This is electrifying, galvanizing - something she's never felt with any guy, in fact.

It's also something she needs to process, but who has time to process while shooting a movie? So she invites Helena around and shoves her into the press junket because that's the only way she can conceive of to see Helena again and soon.

Helena has felt the lightning, too, but can't really believe it - this is Myka Bering, a massive star! This can't be real? But there's something there, every time they talk, every time their eyes meet; she can't deny it. So she goes along, and when Myka suggests coming along to Helena's friend dinner, she says yes.

Now the next question is: does she just say yes without asking whether this is going to be a date? Or does she make Myka confirm that, actually, yes, this is a date? I'm leaning towards the former, because I think being asked to confirm this would make Myka shy away.

So when she shows up to that dinner, nobody really knows if she's Helena's date or "just" a friend: Helena's friends notice the tension between the two (you'd have to be severely out of it not to), but in a mix of plausible deniability and rom-com vagueness, it's not addressed until Myka and Helena leave. (This also means that Myka can just be who she wants to be, without having to think about coming out or explaining or defining.)

I think that would be a really interesting addition to the story.

Withheld this from the public for a bit because I was trying to fix up the colors and facial expressions and this is the best I could do ✋🏾😔

Might redraw this as a doodle (it was initially supposed to be a doodle)

So I'm not a gifmaker whatsoever, and I'm also nowhere near any possibility to learn how to be a gifmaker.

But.

There's an idea for a gifset that hasn't left me alone, and maybe one of the many talented giffers in the Bering and Wells fandom wants to have a go at it?

I'm thinking of, on the one hand, the scene from the end of 3...2...1 where Wooly and HG walk and talk, and he asks her how she does it, and she ends with "mark my words: the future is gonna be a wondrous place".

And on the other hand, the scene in the cemetery, where she says she'd hoped to wake in a different world, a better one, and Myka realizes the Bronzer was Helena's time machine - "closest I could come".

And third, Helena's rant in Yellowstone about this future with all its rotten-ness, how man has found still more ways to kill each other etc.

What this needs, still, in my mind, is a resolution moment - maybe that moment when Helena is slumped and defeated after giving up the Trident. Or something else more hopeful? Anyway, I keep thinking of these three scenes and their progression and connectedness, and I think there's something there.

So! If anyone wants to have a go? @aenslem @lonely-night @pagets I don't know if any of y'all currently have time for this or are interested; you just came to mind as still-active gifmakers for the B&W ship, that's why I tagged you. No pressure of course! Or any other gifmaker who sees this and feels inspired?

Bering & Wells: Split Screen #324

[pthalomars]

I love women<3

[heartandthesoul]

One of the reasons I love Warehouse 13 so much is that it didn't end up as an endless will they/wont they situation between Myka and Pete

Because so many other shows with a male/female partnership goes down that route, and sometimes it can be quite tiresome. I love that they are just best friends and that’s it.
