Alicia Vikander for Vanity Fair (2016)

Hollywood was like a rumor. I and my mum, we’d set the alarm to two A.M. to watch the Oscars, and it was like a window onto another universe. And then to have her there next to me [at the Oscars] this year. We were just cursing in Swedish…It’s been pretty fucking…Wow.

@solovagant.

    ‘is it a baby?’  he’s not awake enough for this kind of practical joke ( if she even is joking ).  his fingers are crossed that it’s not a baby ( good as he is with kids - thank you younger siblings - he doesn’t really feel like taking on the responsibilities of dad jokes just yet ).  tired feet carry him over to gaby and –     ‘is that a cat? gross.’

   “ i’d say it might be, but considering how matted the fur is, i wouldn’t be surprised if it was a skunk or –– something. ” there’s an attempt at a careless shrug of her shoulders, but she angles the box with the mewling thing away from him just so, peeved more than she thought she would be. ( it’s just a damn cat, after all –– why is she getting so protective ? ) “ i’m taking it to the vet in the morning. you can come, if you’d like. ”

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. · Gabriella “Gaby” Teller

“Good night, little chop shop girl.”

[solovagant-deactivated20170403]

     ‘first good idea you’ve had all day.’  he knows he’s being rude ( illya might describe his attitude as acerbic ), and yet – he cares more ( now ) about figuring out what’s at the bottom of this bottle than what’s at the root of gaby’s issues.  he’d chalk it up to  east berlin without much hesitation.

[towrcstle]

    lesser women have flinched at less. all she does is lower her gaze away from him, looking ( rightfully ) ashamed. “ would it mean anything to you if i apologised ? ” she doubts it. won’t hurt to ask, of course, but –– the offer is there. prideful as she is, she knows when to bend.

[madaniss]

[solovagant-deactivated20170403]

     his hand reaches out to snag the bottle, dragging it close to him.  ‘well, now you are going to get to see how i get when i drink.’  he’s acting like a child ( he doesn’t care ) and would rather just forget about the day’s events.

[towrcstle]

   “ ––– you know, i could just grab another bottle of my own, if you’re not going to share. ” but she won’t, plopping herself down instead on the armchair next to him. she’ll behave this time around, since she did kind of fuck up. ( sue her. after a life of restraint, is it so wrong to let loose ? )

[solovagant-deactivated20170403]

@towrcstle

     he hopes she can just feel the judgement roll off him, in the way he finishes off a whole glass of wine in one long chug.  it makes his chest hurt, and it feels like there’s rot between his ribs a moment after, but a buzz is necessary tonight.           ‘did you really have to act like that earlier?’

[towrcstle]

    alright, so it might not have been the best idea to go all out tonight, but in her defense: it wasn’t like they died from it, so really, he’s just over-exaggerating. ( no, he really wasn’t. ) “ ... you know how i get when i drink. ”

ooc. bit of an update as to why i haven’t been active on my accounts:

i’ve got uni from mondays to thursdays, then i’ve work from fridays to sundays. this means that i’ve actually not got any off days for the next few months. ( and if i do, they’ll be rare. ) considering the long commute and all, by the time i get home, i’m wiped        and though i’ll actually try to stay on top of my coursework this semester so i’m not running around like a headless chicken during deadline week, i’ll only be able to log onto tumblr to write if i know i can relax for a little bit without lagging behind. i’ll try, of course        but school and work come first for now. apologies for the inevitable turtle speed in re: replies. 

hope y’all are having a great day. be safe, if you can be. but always be amazing. x
