satine/christian for the fandom asks?
buckle up and get ready cause this is gonna be a long way down 😎
• when I started shipping it if I did: i insantly felt their chemistry the moment they started dancing together at the rouge, and clearly she thought he was the duke at first because of some misunderstanding that she saw with tolouse when zidler was talking to her about it. and obviously when we first see christian at the elephant and satine thinks he’s up there to go sleep with her, their banter from the getgo is really hilarious too cause christian is sort of clueless and awkward at first and she's just doing her job and tries to get off at his "poetry" but then he starts to belt into song, his voice and his words light up the city, and her world too.
the elephant love medley is definitely when i think i truly started to feel their connection, it's literally a conversation told through song about their own perceptions of love and what they think could become of them once they give in, and when they finally kiss, it's one that sparks up and sends fireworks blasting up the night sky (i mean literally speaking! lol) .
BUT i will say, it was this moment right here that i felt something in my heart twinged in what i think i can describe as a state of melting away, cause gosh just look at them...........
AND THIS OTHER TINY MOMENT LIKE THAT FOREHEAD KISS IS EVERYTHING TO ME
• my thoughts: honest to god i am being real when i say the very last time i found myself feeling this certain level AMOUNT OF CRAZY towards a ship was eight years ago, and it was with mulder/scully (the x files). admittedly i haven't been too shippy with things in recent times unless they're one of my older recurring fixations that i love going back to, and before i got totally into christian/satine, it was jamie & claire (outlander) when i watched the show two years ago that started bringing back this kind of energy in which i realised i can definitely still find and enjoy certain pairings that definitely meet my own personal preferences of what i consider are OTP levels of qualifications to me. and good lord don't even get me started on how fantastic, unbeatable, and palpable the chemistry is between nicole kidman and ewan mcgregor, it's through their performances and how they deliver it that makes you feel all sorts of emotions from the giddiest of them all to the most heartwrenching.
• What makes me happy about them: the fact that for both christian and satine, it's actually the first time they've both fallen in love. christian early in the movie says he's never been in love, despite wanting to write about it, and for satine, she admits that she can't fall in love and it's due to the means of what she does with her job, but eventually she breaks this rule, and ultimately finds herself caught and drowning in a love she never knew she could ever experience and for christian, he gets the sense that wow this is how loving someone and being in love is like. he is incredibly enamoured by her, and we see satine at one of her most vulnerable instances when she's with him, they enjoy being in each other's company, and they see the good in each other. satine knew what christian's talents were capable of, and christian saw how satine was worthy of shining in the spotlight and her dreams of wanting to be an actress. with him writing the play and her being the lead, it gives them both chances to show what they're great at as individuals too!
and from what i know, there's a part where christian has a poem for satine that didn't make it to the movie's final cut and it goes something like "my heart aches every hour of every day / and only when i'm with you does the pain go away" ❤️
• What makes me sad about them: it's how they almost had it all. they were very close, towards the end when the duke was finally out of the picture, and they were able to reconcile and proclaim their undying love for one another despite what they had to put themselves under because of things that were getting in the way, the show was successful and it did so well and they were happy about it, until one inevitable force (her illness) destroyed any hope of finally running away and spending the rest of their lives together.
• things done in fanfic that annoys me: i think the only thing that annoys me pertaining to this is how you can no longer view or access a lot of the fics about them that were written during the early 2000's cause i know there were definitely some gems written that time especially when the movie had just come out and i would have loved to see what these people wrote before!
• things I look for in fanfic: anything that depicts them in domestic bliss (i am a sucker for these things), or situations where they comfort one another. literally anything that shows how they are so utterly filled with love and the happiness that surrounds them both because it's genuinely what they deserved.
• Who l'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each: NO ONE IT WILL ALWAYS BE THEM IN THE END ONLY EACH OTHER !!!!
• My happily ever after for them: satine is completely cured from consumption, she's able to fly away, and makes it big time as an actress and christian is a successful playwright. they both end up married, living in london and through the course of several years have three daughters and two cats (girldad! christian is something so personal to me, he'd be the dad who'd tell endless bedtime stories and satine would be the mom who loves dressing her girls up and taking them to parks), and the greatest thing about this is their children would grow up in a household that's filled with many music, laughs, kindness, and most importantly love.
• who is the big spoon/little spoon: christian is definitely a hugger, they're just so comfortable around each other that she can slip into his arms during a lazy afternoon or he can wrap her around his waist whilst joking around during a walk. plus whenever he's got something to write on his typewriter he doesn't mind when she wants to sit in his lap and they'd squeeze in whatever space they have in a chair.
• what is their favorite non-sexual activity: singing and dancing together (obviously) <3 practicing and reciting lines from plays, leaving each other notes when one has to go somewhere or gets up earlier than the other but also cuddling by the balcony.
An AU in which Emily Prentiss is a Doctor Who companion somehow?
for this ask AU game:
Oh this is interesting! I think if it would happen, it could be during the Flux era of Doctor Who, where Thirteen gets help from all sorts of 'freelancers'.
Emily Prentiss would be like Vinder and when Dhawan!Master acts up, she will shoot him, lol.
But I think Thirteen and Emily would hit it off really well, as well as Emily and Yaz. Yaz can express her ambivalence about returning to being a police officer.
And Emily would understand and may encourage her to do what she wants. But also I think Emily would appreciate seeing the world outside of the horror she constantly saw, heck I think seeing a Dalek or a Cyberman would be fun for her since the bad they'll be fighting isn't another Human doing Terrible things.
Emily would also see through Thirteen's masking and vacillating between anger and happiness. It would annoy Thirteen to be profiled so thoroughly.
But in the end Emily gives Thirteen good advice, because Emily might not have been as long lived as Thirteen but she knows what its like to hide who she was and what she used to do.
Thirteen accidentally drops her off in Washington State instead of DC. And the BAU team will be baffled by how Emily got there.
Favourite West Wing moments? 🩷🩷🩷 on the migraine
Ah, wow this is a hard one. Obviously secret plan to fight inflation is one. Both Thanksgiving episodes because I just watched the butterball hotline one yesterday ("Zip code for Fargo, North Dakota please"). The speech that Sam wrote in the car about the pipe bomb explosion ("they ran into the fire/the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight"). Donna, Amy, CJ and Abbey getting drunk and Donna getting the Canadian Anthem and Mr. President being all - "I was gone for 5 minutes. They were all Americans when I left!" (🤣). Every single moment in Noel but especially the talk between Leo and Josh about the guy falling into the hole. Danny and his "I just want us to talk because I like the sound of your voice" moment because I am simply a soft romantic bitch. The White House going to California to be there for Sam's election and Toby staying behind because he doesn't want Sam to be alone even though everyone knows Sam is going to lose (🥹). Donna, Josh and Toby getting left behind in the s4 opening and Mr. President being all "if Donna wasn't with them they would have to buy a house". Josh sprinting through the WH to fly out to Germany the moment Leo gives him permission ("if there's somewhere else you'd rather be we'd all understand"). The whole Stackhouse Filibuster episode but especially the last 10 minutes ("we don't raise our hands in here"/ "though that's not a bad idea"). Ellie and the whole "the only thing you ever had to do was make me happy at the end of the day" final scene. Oliver Banish using his gravel to destroy the tape recorder when Leo and Jed tell him about the MS scandal. And of course, Bartlet cursing at God in Two Cathedrals ("yes I lied. It was a sin. I've committed many sins. Have I displeased you, you feckless thug?!?").
Hello everyone! Shoutout to my Tudor friends I celebrated my 33rd Birthday this week and was able to get a Tudor Rose birthday cake from the Safeway grocery store near my house. They weren't able to put faces on it but were able to make the Tudor rose and vines on the white frosting. The cake itself was chocolate. It was quite delicious.
Okay because I’m obviously knee deep - French Revolution/Napoleonic figures somehow end up back in the early/mid 1500s: how do they do?
Roughly the same as I said before! Robespierre can still skate by on Latin (he won awards for it!).
The Marquis de Sade thrives, because this is the peak time for be a French aristocrat and he gets to get away with all of his crimes because no one cares and if they do, he can just say the woman was sort of a heretic or something. He essentially becomes Gilles de Rais 2.0 or the perfect love match with Elizabeth Bathory.
Marie-Antoinette and the royals don’t do so well, largely because of the lack of material comforts they’ve gotten used to.
Napoleon conquers Europe and this time nobody stops him, Wellington has not entered the chat
I can’t actually watch The Borgias for Brain Reasons but like the Cesare/Juan/Lucrezia OT3 could have, well I was going to say fixed a lot but like it might not have but it makes sense.
omg when i tell you if anything i would want to inject into my veins, it's the borgia siblings ot3! as much as their power hungry amoralist dad loves them, the three of them have been trapped in his vicious cycle of ambitions and being played by him like pawns. they must appear to be the dutiful children who work to cement his legacy regardless of their desires and forcing them into tasks that they're incapable to fulfill. there's so much flavor in that ot3 and how the positions their dad bestowed each of them caused so much infighting and all. that being said, cesare/juan/lucrezia is the ot3 of all time hands down!!

"what are your current WIPs about?“
I've got a few scattered WIPs of various AUs that will likely never see the light of day, but my main ones are a couple of witcher AUs that I still haven't quite given up on (nights without sleep and make a refuge), and then a couple of MCYT fics, one that's technically a sequel to mimic!Grian and one that is... it's Scarian and involves Watchers and Time Shenanigans?? idk man, it's hard to explain, but @definitelynotshouting has liked it so far. XD
"what are your favorite scenes from your WIPs?“
Oooo that's hard. Right now I think it's a conversation between Pearl and Jimmy about Grian, in mimicverse, from Pearl's POV. Either that or a scene of Scar using Replay magic to see Grian be a badass. :3 I will, if asked nicely, share snippets.
