Hey look
Is Ryland sharing an earbud with a female friend? A coworker at the school? A fellow teacher, perhaps?
ā¦.The reader?
I never noticed it. Itās a blink and youāll miss it moment at 7:38 as heās watching the news coverage about the Petrova line right before it shows him in his classroom teaching his class about sound waves
This reel of middle school students roasting their teacher absolutely took me OUT haha I legit almost spat my drink out at the Ferrero Rocher one. I was so close to making a mess all over the floor oops
And now I need someone to write a fic of Graceās students doing the same to him and him being amused by it all like this teacher was. Omg. Kids are hilarious. I could write a book filled with stuff Iāve heard the kids say at my school š
Bonus points if he has a crush on another teacher and she walks in unexpectedly during a roast and is about to be horrified and angry on his behalf until she sees him cracking up. Maybe itās a quick āfive minutes at the start of class to get your roasts out in a safe space before we start the lesson as long as theyāre not genuinely meanā type thing
Kids can be brutal tbh š
Ryan Gosling giving 100% to prepare for every role he plays is so amazing to hear. He learned the jazz piano pieces for months so that he could play them accurately as Sebastian and not use hand doubles, he fixed up an old car to use in Drive, he learned how to knit for Lars, he learned how to ride a motorcycle to play Luke, apparently he built the actual kitchen table in The Notebook. There might even be more. I just love the care and dedication he puts into his roles and I admire him for that.
I am once again thinking about a coltlandgentry supernatural au
ā¢Court and Colt and Ryland growing up in shitty motel rooms while their father left them to go hunt monsters
ā¢their father doesn't have a reason for doing it. He's just mad and angry and wants to hurt things
ā¢Colt taking to holding the weapons their father uses surprisingly well. Court hates it. He's terrified of it
ā¢Ryland learning how to hold and shoot a gun from their father, then crying the first time he killed something and Court promising him after that he would never have to do something like that again, that Court would always do it for him
ā¢Court killing their father with that very same gun Ryland used, then later telling the twins that something had happened to their father, that one of the creatures he hunts got to him and changed him and that's why he nearly killed Ryland, that's why Court had to kill him, and it's not true, not at all, their father was always like this, but it was an easier truth for the 10 year old twins to swallow
ā¢Ryland being furious when he finds out, devastated that Court lied to him, and he leaves as soon as he turns 18 and never looks back (he never wanted to be a hunter anyway. He hated it. He hated all of this. He wanted his books and his science and the real world)
ā¢Colt leaves too, because he meets Jody, because he wants a shot at a normal life (and Court would never deny him this, bc he wants Colt to have a shot at a real life too), but he doesn't go no contact with Court like Ryland did
ā¢Court could leave too. He could quit this life. He should. He hates it. But he sticks with it because it's all he's ever known. It's how he knows how to keep Colt and Ryland safe
ā¢Court being on a hunt with Fitzroy, another hunter, when this man he's worked with for years dies. He has a niece. Claire. She has nowhere else to go. So Court, even though he's terrified of giving her the same childhood of shitty motel rooms that Colt and Ryland had, tells her to come with him
ā¢Court eventually reaching back out to Ryland years later because something has happened to Colt. He can't get in contact with him and it's been weeks. And Court is scared and worried and wants to know if Ryland has heard from him
ā¢Ryland hasn't. He barely talks to Colt as it is. But he agrees to go with Court anyway, to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles with him to where Colt is supposed to be, because surely Court must be wrong. Surely Colt must be perfectly safe and sound and happy
ā¢except he's not. Because Jody hasn't seen or heard from him either
RYAN GOSLING as COLT SEAVERS and DR. RYLAND GRACE The Fall Guy (2024) dir. David Leitch Project Hail Mary (2026) dir. Phil Lord, Chris Miller
I rewatched The Notebook last night for the first time in ages, and since I wasnāt as big a Ryan Gosling fan back then (meaning I liked him but didnāt know much about him apart from what I saw in The Notebook and La La Land and thatās it), now after watching a bunch more of his movies, I can hardly make a connection of Ryan as Noah being the same person who played Six, Colt, and Grace. I know he was only in his early to mid 20s in The Notebook and now is in his 40s, so yes obviously he looks more grown up now, but still, I can hardly see them as the same person. Hell, I can hardly see Six as the same person as Grace. And thatās proof to just how excellent of an actor Ryan is. Sure the costumes, facial hair, hairstyles etc make him look different too, but itās mostly the amazing acting. How are these characters
The
Same
Person??
Give this man an Oscar already
Okay my last post regarding this did kinda decent, so in addition, colt being characterized as the violent and aggressive twin drives me kinda insane. 'But he said he wanted to beat the shit out of ryder' yeah... after he framed him for murder AND TRIED TO SET HIM ON FIRE. And then, colt didn't kill him either, he just scared him into giving a confession.
In reality, I dont think either twin is 'the violent twin' they're both just smartasses who don't know when to shut up and have a talent for getting themselves into very stupid (and fatal) situations
Literal line in the movie is Jody unconvinced Colt would ever kill someone because he spent 20 minutes ushering out a cockroach from her room. āItās just coldā she had quoted him!!!
What we know from Colt is heās just the ittiest bittiest of a push over. He takes hits, he stays in his lane, he avoids vulnerability. During most of his fights, he is RUNNING. heās not TRYING to hurt anyone unless he has to.
The phm fandom that centers phm too much donāt take in account the characters they are bringing into the stories lmao. They are just bringing them in for extra flavor for Grace.
Yeah!! The cockroach is exactly what I referencing in the post before this.
And if colt could work for tom ryder, who actively put him down every chance possible, and not snap the entire time *until* ryder genuinely framed him for murder, then colt is not violent. Colt is sarcastic and will mouth off, and he *is* very loyal to those he loves, but he is not the aggressive guy that people keep depicting him
Totally agree with all of this. He only will fight if itās to defend himself, but he isnāt inherently aggressive or violent.
Also, Grace isnāt a stammering pushover/doormat like in many fics. That said, Iāll read them and like them, but someone who canonically called a leading scholar at a very public and well known science conference a āstaggering waste of carbonā is someone who will stick up for himself.
A little tidbit for your coltlandgentry enjoyment,
Court is likely not as good a driver as Colt.
In the book, "On Target," Zack Hightower complains about Court's driving. More than once. And Court has gone on record as preferring motorcycles. If things get loud, he's perfectly happy to hang out a car window, hop onto the roof, whatever it takes to put lead into bad guys. But put him behind the wheel? Well, he's not liability bad, but he's considered marginal for an Operator. And granted, "marginal for an Operator" is still more adroit than 90% of civilian drivers (which he also demonstrates in "On Target").
However Colt, as we know, can make a Mustang dance at high speeds in a narrow parking garage, guide a truck from atop its hood, and keep an SUV from spinning out on a zero-traction bed of loose sand.
So, when they get into death-defying car chase shenanigans on their way to (or from) rescuing Ryland from PHM, Colt's the one who gets shoved into the driver's seat, and Court circles round to--very, very literally--ride shotgun.
(This arrangement continues into their civilian lives when Court's around. Ryland has literally never seen the frontseat of any car that has also contained both his brothers. Ever. They still make him navigate though. And no, he has never and will never be allowed to pick the music.)
Iām still going through my Ryan Gosling Cinematic Universe watch, or in this case, rewatch. I just finished watching The Notebook for the first time in a loooong time. Now as an adult I can recognize that some of the stuff Noah did and said was a little toxic and manipulative. The man hung off the bar of a damn Ferris wheel to ask Allie out and threatened to let go if she refused him. That was their first ever interaction. And he kept staring and showing up wherever she was, even though she turned him down several times. Creepy. But then their relationship wasnāt totally healthy from her side either, with her constantly slapping and pushing him. At least he never hit her back. In fact I think the reason he slapped himself during the breakup scene was to get his frustration out without slapping her back? (As silly as it looked). Anyways. Then they both cheated on their partners as adults, which is terrible. Especially because Lon was such a good guy. He didnāt deserve that. But then Noah would be sweet and kind to her, so idk. I somehow looked past all of that while watching it as a teenager though and swooned at the romance. As well all did, I guess š
I canāt believe the director told Ryan to his face that he cast him because he wasnāt handsome. His eyes mustāve been broken or something š also I totally missed the fact that Ryan wore brown contacts for the movie to match the eye color of the actor who played elderly Noah. His blue eyes suit him way better.
I still cried at this movie though, not gonna lie
Okay why did my brain suddenly think of a scenario where you and Grace were in a relationship for a few years and had an amazing connection, but it ultimately ended for a good reason (neither of you were at fault and you would always love each other) maybe like a La La Land situation where a split was best for both your futures despite it not being what either of you wanted. It was out of your control and had to happen. You broke up a while ago but still kept each otherās numbers because neither of you could bear to delete it.
*kisses brick* This is what I believe would happen next:
One afternoon totally out of the blue you get a call from Ryland, which is weird because you have never talked on the phone after your breakup, so why now? You debate for a second but end up answering it.
You donāt even get a chance to say anything when you pick up the call because he is immediately sobbing and talking so fast that you canāt make out a single word.
āWhat? Slow down, Ryland, I canāt understand what youāre saying. Are you okay?ā
He takes a deep breath and lets it out. His next words still come out fast and panicked, but at least slow enough where you can actually understand. āNo, Iām really notā¦Iām being sent to go on the Hail Mary, you know, that spaceship, the one bound for Tau Ceti. Iām sure youāve heard about that, it was finally released over the news last week. I have been on the science team for a few months now, not to be sent up with them, but to help, but the scientists unexpectedly died and now I have to go as their replacement. I donāt want to go but I am going anyway, so I had toā¦to call you because I wanted to tell you that I wonātā¦ā he takes another deep breath. āI wonāt be coming back.ā His voice cracks on the last word. His next words are whispered, as if it physically pains him to say them. āI had to call you and say goodbye.ā
āNo no no no.ā Your heart is in your throat. āWhere are you? Can I come see you? Can you run away? Can youāā
āNo.ā
āBut just try! Ryland, you just said you donāt want to go. They canāt make you go, they just canāt! Thatās unethical! What are they gonna do, physically forceāā
āYes. That is exactly what theyāll be doing. Iāll be given a coma injection and will be going on that ship. I leave in an hour.ā
An hour. A mere sixty minutes. Both of you are sobbing now, unable to breathe, when you hear muffled voices in the background of his line.
āRyland?ā
āTheyāre telling me to get off the phone so they can take it. I need to go. Um, Iā¦I know we broke up but you have to know that Iā¦ā he sniffs. āI still love you. I never stopped.ā
āPlease, donāt go,ā you beg. āI love you too. Please donāt leave.ā
āI have to get off the phone now. I love you. Iām sorry.ā
āRyland no, please donāt gāā Your pleads are cut off by the sound of the line going dead. You stand there in shock for a full minute before your legs give out, your body crumpling into a heap on the floor. You look up from your prone position, your eyes landing on the window. Staring at the sky, you are unable to process that in a little less than an hour, heād be up there among the stars.
āØ
Iām so sorry, I donāt know why my brain unleashed all that angst out of nowhere. I havenāt even written proper fics in years plus I hate thinking about Grace leaving behind anyone on Earth. I changed the time he had left before leaving. In the book itās 3 days and in the movie itās immediate, so I needed it somewhere in between.
Idk if Iāll really write actual fics for PHM or anything but this thought just popped into my head, please donāt hate me I AM SO SORRY
I donāt know why it took me til halfway through The Nice Guys to realize that Holly was named after Holland. (I mean, itās not mentioned, but probably. It makes sense because their names are so similar). Also, I wonder if the ring on Hollandās necklace is his late wifeās wedding band because if so, that is so heartbreaking but sweet š
Okay I just finished watching The Nice Guys. Yāknow, I had no idea that Ryan was so good at comedy until I started getting into his movies. PHM started me down the rabbit hole that is the Ryan Gosling Cinematic Universe and before that had really only seen The Notebook and La La Land which arenāt comedies. Heās really versatile! However the chain smoking he does as Holland got me concerned, knowing that those were real cigarettes and they made him sick. At least he stopped smoking after that. His poor lungs. Anyway, I liked it overall. Hollandās love and care for his daughter Holly was so sweet š„¹š„¹ Ryan and Russell Crowe had great chemistry as costars too
Okay Iām trying to read the third Crescent City book, House of Flame and Shadow, butā¦idk, I just donāt like this series as much as ACOTAR and Throne of Glass. I donāt hate it, but itās just not snatching the soul out of my body like the other two. Iām not feeling the ājust canāt put it downā vibe that I felt with the others. Do you think I need to read this before ACOTAR 6 comes out in October?? This book has 101 chapters and Iām only about to start chapter 24. Only 30% in. Thereās crossover with the ACOTAR characters but I wonder if she did that just to boost sales š
Is this book worth sticking with?
I actually started CC3 a while ago but paused to read Veronica Rothās new book Seek the Traitorās Son which I had to pause to read Project Hail Mary, and now that Iām done with PHM, I had to debate which one to go back to. Iām a slow reader so I chose CC3 since I wanted to finish it before ACOTAR 6 is released, but now idk. Iām also on the fence about Seek the Traitorās Son though too hahaha I loved her Divergent books and this is her first book in a while. But idk, I feel like Iām not super captured by either one. I liked it at first, but I feel like my interest has waned.
What are your thoughts?
RYAN GOSLING as DRIVER ššš¾šāÆ 2011 ā¢ dir. Nicolas Winding Refn
I didnāt give this a lot of thought and instead went with my gut on these. A lot of the cinnamon rolls can have a biting wit and verbally knock you down a few pegs, but they still wouldnāt literally kill anyone.
Luke didnāt want to hurt anyone at the banks, but he did hurt Kofi and Avery. Unsure if heād have actually killed them though. So I kinda put him on the fence.
With this particular picture of Ken I probably should have put him as maximum ālooks like a cinnamon rollā but I guess I was kinda also keeping his edgier look in mind? Idk. Like I said, I went with my gut on these
Grace did canonically call someone a āstaggering waste of carbonā so he might not be peak cinnamon roll, but again, heād never kill anyone
Also I love that Jody was beyond shocked and appalled to hear about Coltās murder accusation and said this man literally spent 25 minutes ushering out a roach from her room instead of killing it. He will beat someone up no problem, but he is no killer
What do you all think?
Found this and it's frankly excellent?? Court follows Ryland straight into space, A+ brother shit with one of the BEST twists I've yet seen in rgcu!
(Also, Yao has LINES?! That's not the twist but it's rare enough that it could be!)
Go treat yourself and maybe leave this author a little love.
I second this!! I just read the three chapters that are posted so far and itās super good!! Very well written and intriguing. More people need to know about this one.
I feel you so bad and that losing the fic post and im really glad you got the link! Was gonna look for it since i remmbered that one. I actually also remember reading a somewhat similar fic where his students kinda dared him to use a pick up line on you and yeah i never found it again so i felt that (im shy so thats why im on anon >//////<)
Ugh thanks, I was so devastated!! I stared at my phone in disbelief for a good minute š Iām so glad I got it back!!! Aw Iām sorry you lost your fic because that one also sounds so cute. Can anyone else please help out with this one if you know what anon is talking about?? I wanna read it now too. I am a sucker for anything with yearning teacher!Grace šš„¹
