Food, love, and grief, plated together in a breathtaking 2 hour long French film. Impeccable chemistry between the leads and in the kitchen. A definite re-watch soon.

Fanfiction writers and readers ASSEMBLE!!

I am a documentary filmmaker based in Cardiff and I want to make a film on women sci-fi fanfiction writers. Very specific? I know right! But there are untold stories here that I intend to find. I already posted about this in an earlier post, but this time the frame is specific. If you fit the category, DM me. If you know someone whose work fits the frame, tag them. If you're merely seeing this on your timeline, reblog! I am looking for writers in UK but if this reaches other parts of the world, I'll be happy to figure out a way to interview them.

The prophecy foretold that The Great Evil would awaken 1000 years after his original defeat. As it turns out, the people took this very seriously, so when he awakened, he was met with an army of blessed knights, an evil containment system, and two dozen automated holy turrets aimed at him.

Hello people of Tumblr✨

I am a documentary filmmaker and I need your help for my next story.

If you have been in the sci-fi fandom scene, you know how toxic it can get (coughs *Reddit Incel Threads*). But the OG founders of fan culture aka Women and Queer people (who are also the PIONEER of fan fiction culture) never got the credit. So I want to find them for an interview. Basically if you have parents/grandparents who were part of the earliest star trek and star wars fandoms, DM. Thank yewwww.

Ps: Preferably in the UK but if not, we can figure it out.

Once in every decade, I fall in love with a random actor on a random Tuesday and keep that shit alive for the next 10 years. In my teens, it was Chris Evans. In my 20s, I am happy to announce Lee Dong Wook has taken the spot. BUT WHY IS IT ALWAYS MEN wayy TOO OLDER THAN ME TAKING UP MY HEADSPACE. Anyways, flying through his filmography this year, not a single fumble spotted. What a talent. Special shoutout to this particular scene which is driving me insane atm.

I am afraid to leave this on my digital footprint it must be said. Lee Dong-Wook in A shop for killers is DADDY.

I have many thoughts about Bridgerton.

Was it the perfect season? Absolutely no.

But it quite honestly is my favorite season so far because it made me realise how the enemies-to-lovers trope has rotten my brain when this is what I want to see. Gentle love, best friends becoming partners.

Things that I absolutely loved this season:

-Pen's arc: In the book she gives up whistledown to become a romance author which is nice, but now we have a legitimate journalist in the house who has proved her accuracy at such a young age. People who are worried about how she's gonna get her info now that people are guarded? Um her main sources were always the maids and footmen and she is observant enough to run a column. Plus now that everyone knows who she is, people might anonymously send her reports (as happens in journalism) which gives her SO MUCH POWER. I am a journalist and I can't stress enough how incredible that is. I know book fans expected the last speech by Colin but imo her taking full control of her decisions and willingness to face the consequences makes it so much better.

-Eloise and Pen patch up: Both of them going to each other for comfort and support when the shit hit the fan made my heart warm. When Eloise comes back, I hope she knows herself a bit better and actually brings her grand ideas to reality.

-Benedict going about his viscount duties in absence of Anthony without the rage of responsibility whilst discovering his sexuality 10/10. Man was also fully involved in all of his siblings feuds, mainly whatever the fuck Gregory and Hyacinth were upto. CUTE. Actually shoutout to all the Bridgertons, they were so perfectly chaotic.

-THe FEATHERINGTONS OMG: I am the youngest daughter of my family as well as the black sheep- so unpredictable, unconventional that no one in my family gets me. That's why I relate to Pen so much and I'll defend her to death. To see the sisters and Portia realise Pen's worth made me sob. Phillipa saying I hope my daughter becomes a writer? Cherry on cake. But Portia opening up to Pen and being vulnerable and proud at the same time was so bloody well done.

-Polin: Fans being livid about the lack of spice in part 2 (minus the incredible sex scene in ep 5) is understandable but I blame the marketing for it, not the showrunners. Over the course of part 1, we saw Colin's relationship with intimacy change drastically. His want for connection becomes a necessity and if they just jumped into angry sex without actually resolving anything, it would have ruined his character development. I think it's the incredible chemistry between Nic and Luke in general and the heavy emphasis on the horniness during the press tour left the fans understandably wanting for more. But in general, their romance felt quite authentic. The Pride and Prejudice 'dancing in the room alone' callback, goofing around in the church, Colin coming to terms with what Whistledown meant to the ton and himself, Penelope's newfound confidence thanks to Colin's frequent words of affirmation, it was all good.

Things I would change to make this season better (this is turning into a full article now but read ahead if you have been here so far):

-The bloody editing: Pardon my french but why the fuck Benedict's prolonged threesome scenes not edited out? He has a whole season coming up so I don't understand so much focus on that weirdly edited scene amidst the drama. Just one shot of establishing his pansexuality (or bi but I am hoping it's pan) would have been enough? I love Ben, he is my favorite brother but this gave me the ick. To think these 3-4 minutes could have been used to extend the last Polin intimate scene. We could have had a good 5 minutes of Pen topping Colin after the BIG REVEAL but noooo. Even the subplots should have been kept short and sweet. Unlike some fans, I am not completely against the inclusion of the Mondrich family, Cressida's back story, the build up to Benedict's and Fran's actual stories, and more. But I believe too much footage was given to these even though the show clearly focuses on one couple per season. Get your shit together Shonda, this is not 20 episode Grey's anatomy, we can't focus on EVERYONE.

-Colin's anger after the wedding: Now I understand why he didn't want to have the wedding night given the stressful circumstances but him being angry till Francesca's wedding made no sense. How I would have written the resolution would have been something like this- In the hours before Rae leaves the house at night, Colin would have been reading the letters, figuring out how Pen is so whistledown at core (like he actually does the very next day but in absence of Pen). And instead of coming into the room to get a blanket, he could have brought in his own manuscript, asking her to read it as promised and taking up her offer to let her edit. This scene was literally in the book and was so easy to adapt. I would give my left kidney to see Colin sitting near Penelope, watching her powerful writing in action. Again, no spice required, just this. This would have made Pen's 'just love me' speech to Colin so good, but alas!

-Cressida: This is the arc I am most pissed off about. Eloise's reconciliation with Pen was great but completely abandoning Cressida to misery was so outta pocket. I realise Eloise is still not a fully realised character and is barely 20 (she's just a girl) but she was always kind. If I was writing Cressida's arc, I would have had Eloise come to her rescue at the end by borrowing some money from Pen and helping Cressida escape to Vienna or better Scotland. I highly doubt Pen would have minded if she knew how similar both of their circumstances were. I detested Cressida in the books because I'll be honest the books were pretty two dimensional with no real character development and just grand gestures (I'll understand if you come for me but this is how I feel, sorry). But the show made me care for her and I wished she could have found some happiness in life.

Overall, I'll rewatch it because the tiny details were so good this season I believe I can relish those till the next season. And I'll miss Polin immensely. But Shonda please, you can do better.

Bridgerton and Supernatural trending together is fucking insane. Congratulations to our best (at least in recent times) friends-to-lovers fictional couple and IRL vampire-werewolf dads. What a great day to be a multi-fandom gal.

Voyager has got to be the wildest Star Trek show ever. Like what do you mean Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson had a fucking cameo on the show as an alien who fights Seven of Nine in an MMA arena?

I am reaching the end of DS9 and the evolution of Julian and Miles' friendship is so funny and dear to me. To think O'Brien sort of hated Bashir in the beginning but gave in to the doctor's intense "lemme be your friend please please please" vibes.
