We're allowed to share the @yoispyzine pieces! 🕵️

I was collaborating with @thehobbem on a Mata Hari AU and wowowowow, her fic turned out sooo well *o* Yuuri is so sensual in it and Victor... Victor is lost. Here’s the link to it! Twitter | Patreon | Pillowfort | Pixiv

After seeing you talk about it here, I decided to finally watch the Mansfield Park adaptation from 99 (I'd only watched the '07 version), and I'm SO happy I did! Frances O'Connor is an absolute delight to watch (omg, as well as Alessandro Nivola, excuse me). My love for book Fanny has always been more than tinted with pity, as she doesn't always have the means (or spirit?) to express her strength of mind - but movie Fanny has firmness to spare, and I love it. (1/2)

(2/2) I love that they manage to make me root for Henry Crawford, love that Mary’s “downfall” comes in front of the whole family rather than in a letter, and I *specially* love that they show Edmund already loves Fanny, he’s just not aware of it. It does away with the “and then in due time Edmund married Fanny bc why the hell not” feeling of the end of the book, which really. There are many other things to point out, but you know XD. So thank you for bringing my attention to it!—Yay! I AM DELIGHTED! As adaptations go I know it’s controversial to say the least, but it’s definitely not boring! Frances O’Connor is heartbreaking and wonderful and they did a great job of showing how NO ONE IS FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH FOR HER FANNY.

[Me @ the Brits:]

I think, cinematically, Fanny has GOT to be oomphed up from how she is on the page. The mediums of film and text have key differences and better to make changes to accommodate those than bleed oneself dry trying to recreate an experience specific and unique to reading the story. I cannot think of how an adaptation could manage it in a compelling way for modern viewers. A “perfect” adaptation of the novel is impossible, because every reader brings something different to their receiving of the narrative and characters…so why not have a bit of fun with the vision being put together on-film? This is not to say there’s nothing to criticize in this or any adaptation, but fundamentally I feel like I can no longer accept “but it was different in the book!” as a detraction if what was in the book was unfilmable and needed to be worked around.

Mary’s showing her ass in front of everyone at Mansfield Park is SO much better than having Edmund quietly relaying it to Fanny after the fact as he tries not to cry. Like, he gets to have a bit of a spine, too–huzzah! (And I have to say, I LOVE Embeth Davidtz’s performance, too–I want to hate her and by the end I’m a little bit able to but I am charmed as fuck, too. She lets us see Mary’s moments of real vulnerability and earnest feeling, and then Mary deliberately falls back on her old habits either as a comfort or a defense mechanism and it’s inevitable and frustrating but WE ALL GET IT, wow.)

They…did their best, with Edmund; and IT HELPED. I’m not saying I feel he’s earned his happiness free and clear, but as the book says, no one minds having what is too good for them, so there’s a cheeky bit of c’est la vie and LET IT GO, in the end, which is how I have learned to cope with Mansfield Park. The film really allows the more natural chemistry with Fanny to simply exist, where of course it could never really show, on the page. Even if there’s no escaping the cousin thing. :\

@thehobbem replied to your post “Do you think Yuuri was really the playboy all along? People are still...”

Something I love about the eros story is that Victor choreographed it with Yuuri in mind for the playboy - but Yuuri skated it as the woman; that means that both of them saw themselves as the one being swept off their feet. XD In both their minds, they're like "omg he is SO irresistible, I have no option but to give in to his charms, and omg is he gonna LEAVE ME???" XD They're both disasters! ♥

I KNOW RIGHT, it’s my favourite thing ajsfaskjfhskaf CALM DOWN BOYS no one’s leaving anyone okay ♥

tsm, before the beginning ;)

before the beginning – three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project

“I can’t just leave Chicago right now, Hailey, you know we’re on a promising lead.” Yuuri’s voice fades in and out of the hallway at this district office of the Chicago Police Department, as he paces back and forth on his phone with their section chief. Phichit rolls his eyes, looking over at Christophe and Detective Lindsay, who are both clearly trying their best not to listen in too hard to the argument brewing in the hallway. 

“Is he planning to rejoin us anytime soon?” Detective Halstead, Lindsay’s partner, wonders as he leans against the observation window. “We’ve been cooking the suspect long enough; we need to get going.”

“I’m sure Yuuri can be caught up to speed once he gets off the phone with Hotch,” Christophe agrees, opening up his notebook. “You two can get started, and we’ll –”

“Does Hobbs want me on the job, then?” Yuuri’s voice suddenly demands, before his boots clack away on the tile heading down the corridor. Lindsay and Halstead look at one another, before exiting the room and heading for the interrogation booth.

Yuuri returns a couple minutes later, scrubbing his hair out of his eyes with a frustrated sigh. “Some supermodel’s gone missing on a trip to the Bahamas,” he says, “and for some godforsaken reason Director Hobbs is suggesting I go find them.”

“Why does Director Hobbs want you to find a missing supermodel?” wonders Phichit. 

“She meant us, collectively,” Yuuri points out.

“Still.” Phichit shrugs. “What’s so special about this one?”

“They were dating the daughter of Senator Clarke prior to their disappearance?”

Christophe clucks his tongue at that. “Ah-ah, that explains it.” He pauses. “Wait, wasn’t Emma Clarke dating Art Hatton?” 

Yuuri shrugs. “I have no idea; you know I don’t follow fashion news.”

“Holy shit,” says Phichit, looking up from his phone. “It is Art Hatton. The news is blowing up about this. Hashtag FindArtHatton is trending on Twitter.”

“So are we going to go hashtag find Art Hatton?” asks Christophe. Yuuri shakes his head.

“No,” he says, turning towards the current interrogation being played out in the room beyond the viewing window. “Chances are, they’re probably just stranded on a private island or something. Let’s focus on catching this Seppuku Slasher instead.”

(no excuses writing asks)

Bar AU, first! ♥

*ahem*

“Six years ago, Victor Nikiforov became the youngest recorded winner of the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional. When he left Yakov Feltsman’s Quadruple Loop to branch out on his own, he painstakingly revamped the cocktail and wine list at his new home, Aria. 

It took three months of testing and sampling, but he finally put the bar on the map with a concoction featuring raspberry, Peychaud’s, Rum, Campari, and  a little flash of gold. He named it the Living Legend. They could barely keep the mixers in house.

Seven months later, as he gave his acceptance speech to a standing ovation, Victor Nikiforov shoved down a panic attack about where the hell he could possibly go next.”
