an:// requests are open, you can send me one through the ask box or PM me - either is fine! this is a sideblog so if you comment on one of my works i won’t be able to reply without exposing my main blog but please know that i see all the interactions with my posts and i appreciate them so so much!!
this is kind of short for right now but it will get longer as i post more and more of my works and series and such <3
We'll start with my favorite movies of all time (so far).
Added Author's Note that some of these films will be ones I have watched many times over, and some will be new ones that I am reviewing directly after watching for the first time.
Signs (2002) is a beautiful film with a message that can be interpreted in many different ways. With a packed cast of talented actors and a compelling story, it's a movie I often find myself watching over and over again. With a hooking cinema line of, "IT'S NOT LIKE THEY DIDN'T WARN US", I'll do my best to forewarn you now that it is most definitely a movie you'll never have trouble remembering.
Release Year: 2002
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Genre: Horror/Sci-Fi
Runtime: 106 mins
Few films capture the complexity of faith and coincidences the way Signs does. Whether you choose to interpret it as simply a horror film about aliens, or faith in a higher power, or belief in the strength of love, is entirely up to the eye of the beholder.
The film follows a family of four living on a farm who begin to find mysterious crop circles turning up in their fields, foreshadowing something terrifying on the horizon. Mel Gibson plays our father character, Graham, along with Joaquin Phoenix playing his younger brother, Merrill. Beside them, Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin give amazing performances as Graham's two young children, Morgan and Bo.
Graham Hess is a former Episcopal priest who abandoned the church in the aftermath of his wife, Colleen's, tragic passing in a traffic collision accident six months before the film's events, having found himself beginning to question his faith after spending her last moments by her side. His younger brother, Merrill - a failed minor league baseball player - has since moved in to help the family around the farm after Colleen's untimely death.
The film follows a very well-written storyline as the family begins to piece together the events of what is happening to Earth, which may be an alien invasion taking place globally. Mel Gibson gives us a phenomenal performance as a grieving man abandoning his identity and his belief system over sudden tragedy, something he has always excelled in. As a character, Graham doesn't know what to believe or how to go forward, and refuses to let his vulnerability be acknowledged in any way, further tampering him from any ability to pull himself out of the rut he's fallen into.
This film is so visually compelling in its cinematography because of its commitment to minimalism. There is no grand spectacle in the form of violence or explosions or drama, but rather built on a foundation of psychological unease and controlled tension. The ambiguity of focusing only on the Hess Farm, along with the deliberate framing of wide shot angles of the endless cornfields, fuels nothing but extensive dread. Much of Signs unfolds in low light or practical lighting conditions, giving it a grounded sense of domestic realism.
Shyamalan's signature slow pacing is reflected in the camera movements (shot by cinematographer Tak Fujimoto). There's an absence of frantic scene cutting, instead favoring slow pans and lingering takes that allow tension to build organically, giving viewers a creeping dread rather than a quick shock or scare.
This movie raises questions about the things that strip us of our faith, that make us lose hope in the idea that there may be something, anything, out there with our best interests in mind. Is there anything that could occur that could strip you of the faith you hold in your beliefs? Are our stories written in stone? Is there any such thing as a pure coincidence?
hello! I'm not quite sure how to start this because I've never done a personal blog like this before. all my previous blogs have been strictly for fandoms & fanfiction. but, to reference my title, this is the beginning of a beginning, & many more to come. I have decided to create a blog specifically dedicated to films - the ones I love, most of all.
I've had trouble finding my niche of film people, so I thought I might as well start my own & hope the ones similar will find their way to me on their own. I have Letterboxd, of course, (Patron, thank you very much), but that is for all of my films ever watched. I've decided to make this strictly a blog for my favorites, or highly rated movies, to save the trouble of writing about those that I don't even recommend.
you may be wondering what I offer, & I don't offer much. but if you need movie recommendations & trustworthy reviews & you're picky, then this is the place for you. reviews made not by a cinephile per se, so you don't have to worry about reviews and judgments on films coming from a niche place that you don't care about, such as camera work & film devices you don't care for. but still made by someone passionate about film & full of love for the art of storytelling, so you know the reviews aren't baseless & surface-level.
I love many things & I love talking about the things I love to people who will listen. obviously that doesn't work out well for me in real life, therefore I am here speaking out into the void now, too. join if you feel inclined :)
heyyyyy guys!!! long time no see, i'm just spreading this post for my friend on some of my accounts. go ahead and give her some love if you're into movies and reviews and such. much appreciated!!
Hey, you guys may know me as a fanfic author. I just had a real life disaster that has kind of fucked me over. Please donate if you can. Any assistance is appreciated.
hey! if anyone wants to give me some brutally honest boy problem advice and listen to an extremely fucked up story pls dm me because i am bursting with rage and need to vent and get advice in return :)
I am just saying (to add on to the thicc mate post) marco would definitely take a running start as he goes to slap your ass, and then he gets to see your ghost leave your body 🤠

fandom: the lost boys—not directly linked to story

notes: is this any good??

Santa Carla’s heat, mixed in with the hot air blasting from the broken air conditioner, causes sweat beads to drip down the back of your neck. The stifling air makes it hard to concentrate on your homework assignment. You’re surprised sweat hasn’t rained down on the fragile sheet of paper. You lean away from the equations littering the page and wipe a hand over your forehead. Statistics can wait until tonight.
The cook assigned for afternoons passes you freshly packaged food before moving back to start on another order. You call out to the man sitting in the small waiting area. He easily towers over you as he approaches the counter, but the height difference doesn’t intimidate you in the slightest. After all, he’s wearing a sherpa-lined leather jacket in 80-degree weather. Just the sight causes a fresh wave of sweat to trickle down your neck.
He gives you a predatory smirk, one that makes your insides twist. His Ashley lip piercing pops up and he smoothes it down with his tongue. Again, you internally gag. He continues by saying something sexual to you, but you don’t hear. It feels like sweat flooded your eardrums. The only sound penetrating through the flood is the air conditioner. It’s about to completely break down.
(( don't care if you post or not ))
matchup please, preferably between the boys, but it doesn't matter. have fun with it <3
I have a bad time describing myself, so I just decided to add some photos of myself. I also added a piece of my art, since I also mention it and it helps give some insight. My name is Acid/Gore or Ace, I go by he/they/it/xe(transgender ftm). I'm a gay(don't really like labels, but yeah) dude who likes to draw and write. I'm an aries, March 31st to be exact.
I tend to draw a lot, so I draw anyone who lets me. I don't always show them though, especially if I don't like the piece. I can be a bookworm, it's honestly an on and off thing. I tend to ramble, especially on topics I like. I have Anxiety, MDD, and PTSD.
I like dying my hair, like one week I bleach it, the next its red, and then bleached again, and then blue. You never know with me to be honest. I hyperfixate on a lot of things. My room is either very messy or very clean, no in between. I'm either very loud or very quiet, once again no in between lol.
Monster and coffee addict, literally have so many monster cans I collect. I have to have some sort of way to listen to music on me, whether its a phone or an mp3. I like to sing sometimes, but not really at the same time? Social anxiety is a thing, but I know what to do when it gets bad.
I normally go into a more non-crowded place and calm myself down. Motorcycles are my favorite thing to ride. I'm a really creative person, even if I can't do a project at that moment. I'm more of a snacker than I am a meal-eater, so I snack all day and eat at dinner time. Although I do have days where I don't want to eat at all, so I need someone there to help and make sure I atleast eat something.
I listen to almost any type of music, minus country. I listen to a lot of rock like KoRn and/or Guns n' Roses. I throw on whatever, but I have more of a dark style. Normally either black, dark grey, grey, light grey, or like one white thing I'm wearing. I'm 5'0. I wear platforms a lot though, chokers and chains as well.
I'm kinda of an aggressive person, dirty jokes are a must. Smoking doesn't bother me, nor does drinking. I'm poly, so it really don't matter. This honestly may be biased, but I feel like I could go with any of the boys.
EEEEE my first match-up i’m really really excited!!!
Okay so first of all, I had a very hard time deciding which boy to go with because like you said, I do think you’d go well with any of them. I had such a hard time deciding that in the end I decided to go with two of them because you did mention you were also poly.
So for the first boy, this one was blatantly obvious to me, I chose Paul. You mentioned being a total coffee and monster addict so you’d fit so well with him because he’s just a giant ball of energy. Y’all would honestly probably have contests to see who could chug monsters faster. You don’t mind smoking - which is good, because Paul is high out of his mind almost 24/7.
Dirty jokes you say? Paul is the king of them. Everything in life can be solved with some dirty humor according to this boy. Y’all could go back and forth for hours with the humorous banter.
Now the second boy is where I had a bit more trouble because I was honestly torn between David and Marko. I headcanon both as aggressive and territorial people which always fit so well with an Aries’ personality.
However, upon further reading into your description I went with Marko. You mentioned loving to draw and dying your hair every other week and Marko is the most artistic of all the boys.
Y’all could sit for hours just drawing anyone and everyone and he would definitely be down to help you dye your hair all different kinds of wacky colors and styles. You’re both either very quiet or very loud - absolutely no in between and I feel like he would really appreciate your love for music and always needing to have something on your person that allows you to listen freely.
He’s also another residential dirty joker of the group so all three of you could literally have contests of who could come up with the dirtiest one of the entire night.
Overall, I think you’d go extremely well with either (or both😼) of these vampires because you are quite literally the exact same as them (just shorter xD)
I hope you enjoyed and that this fits your taste and what you had in mind!! This is my first match-up so I apologize if I didn’t do something right :(
choose 5 albums that you love and can’t live without, and tag me!! here’s mine, i want to hear everyone else’s! @sixer-mayhem @americanrocknroll @ayablackwood @motorbrxth @songbirds-sweet @shake-it-like-a-rattlesnake @samiyaffaslover
1. HIStory: Past, Present, and Future (1995) - michael jackson
2. appetite for destruction (1987) - guns n’ roses
of course!! thanks for the request anon!! :) also i highkey completely forgot about the model part so i guess you’re just thick as fuck in this 🧍♀️
David
David is,,,, well, David’s David - he’s been alive a long, long time - and there’s nothing he loves more than a thick woman
He loves to walk at your side with a hand in your back pocket - cheesy? Perhaps. But he likes keeping a hand on what’s his and showing off that you are, in fact, with him
Lowkey has you sit on his lap just so he can feel that big butt on him (He likes thick women, honestly, who doesn’t?)
Likes to just sit on his bike when y’all pull up to the boardwalk and just ~watch~ you walk away
He thinks it’s got to be the best sight he’s seen in his entire 100 years
Dwayne
You’re gonna look me in the eye and tell me that this man’s type isn’t a thick woman?
The boys honestly tease him over how obsessed his is with a girl that’s got a badoonkadonk (i’m so sorry idk where that word came from but it felt right)
So when he lands you, he’s never felt more achieved with himself
Likes to have you pressed up to his chest so that he can feel your entire body against him
Another one of the dudes who just can’t get enough of you sitting on his lap
Loves it more than literally anything else
Paul
Follows you around helplessly like a love sick puppy because-
Holy shit you are hot
Just likes carrying you around on his back cause there’s nothing he likes more than having an excuse to hold onto your thighs
When y’all are chilling on the couch he just likes having your legs thrown over him
If you smoke, then y’all will just be passing the blunt back and forth giggling amongst each other
If you don’t smoke, he’ll just be puffing away while his free hands massages your thighs and, if you’re comfortable with it, your hips
Sometimes will drop things on purpose and ask you to pick them up just so he can get a nice view of your,,, shall I say,,, badoonkadonk
Marko
One of those boyfriends who just,,, can’t keep his hands off your ass for the life of him
Standing next to the motorcycles? His hand’s on your ass
Leaning over the couch to get a view of the rocker magazine Paul’s trying to show you? He’s taking the chance and slapping your ass
If you get genuinely upset with him and ask him to stop slapping your ass every time you turn your back to him, of course he will
If you’re otherwise fine with it then it’s free game
But for him and him only
Anyone else checks out his girl or tries to cop a feel? Hands thrown everywhere
Has before and will again fight someone on the boardwalk for looking at you for too long
He’s got some major anger issues and you being his girl honestly only sky rockets them tbh
Hello darling, maybe a separate headcanons list about the boys with an S/O who smokes? Like cigarettes like David does? Thank you in advance, and congrats on one year of your blog! 😊
listen, am i proud of the nasty habit that is cigarette smoking? no, not even a little bit. but, it certainly comes in handy for chain-smoking S/O’s like this request :)
David
David’s an avid smoker, one of two of the vamp boys who smokes cigarettes and doesn’t completely hate it
He’s been smoking for longer than he can remember and if it weren’t for his promised immortality it’d have honestly killed him by now
So he starts dating you, his lovely little mate, and the first time you ask if he could spare you a boug he’s honestly a little shocked
You smoked cigarettes?? Just another reason for you to turn baby doll, you won’t have to worry about them killing ya if you’re immortal anyway
Of course he’ll always give you one when you ask, and if he’s dropping you off at your own home after a night out with him and the boys he might even slip a good few into your hand to hold you over for the night if he’s in a good enough mood
He’ll never bring it up to tease you, damn well knowing that he smokes just as much if not more than you
Dwayne
Doesn’t usually smoke anything other weed, but doesn’t dislike you smoking
He’ll grin to himself when he sees you desperately trying to bum a cigarette off of David
Teases lightly ONLY when you haven’t had one in a while and it causes you to slip into a bad mood - what? He finds it funny that you get so irritated just cause you haven’t had a boug
Sometimes, only very very rare sometimes, does he get high enough where he’ll see you smoking and just really crave his own cigarette
Cases like these he’ll snatch one from your pack, or if you don’t have a pack with you at the time, he’ll bum one off of David
Paul
The second vamp boy who smokes cigarettes - definitely not even as close as much as David, but this boy definitely has an oral affixation
So if he gets in one of his moods where he needs something to smoke, but he either doesn’t have anything to roll up or he’s already too high, he’ll smoke a few cigarettes
Isn’t a big fan of the taste, but he does what he has to do so he doesn’t really mind that you smoke - he has no room to talk
Definitely teases you hardcore about it, especially when he knows you’re a lil irritated cause you’re all out of them
“Hey babe, got a cigarette?” Just to remind you of the unfortunate situation and watch the way you glare at him so harshly over the comment
Marko
Hates them
When I say hates them, I mean, hates them - the taste, the smell, everything
It’s already difficult for Paul to talk him into getting high every night but cigarettes are a NO. he will NOT smoke one
I know it’s weird for me to headcanon that my favorite vamp hates cigarettes when I literally smoke them
But he gives off those vibes
Teases you hardcore for it
“I’m cold”
“Yeah, well babe, I’d give you my jacket but I don’t want it coming back to me smelling like a cigarette” Just to watch the way you pout at him
He doesn’t really mean it, he’ll of course give you his jacket if you’re cold but just don’t even try to light up a boug while you’re wearing it because he will slap the thing right out from between your fingers
