#I will forever love Jeremy strong

One thing that will forever bother me is how people still clown on and make fun of Jeremy Strong for the way he goes along with his acting career. I have made a small rant about it. Read if you’d like haha
Some have called him so many names and said that he tries too hard. He puts so much thought in all of his characters rather than just reading the script and memorizing the lines. He focuses on even the smallest details in the character (even down to Vinny Daniels chewing gum in The Big Short) and really becomes that character. I seriously look at him as a completely different person when he is playing his characters, especially when I watched him play Kendall Roy. I sometimes still think Kendall and Jeremy are different people I am not even over exaggerating. He made Kendall Roy feel so real and I think that’s why I still am not over the show or character, because he has done such an amazing job with the character that I still feel so many emotions for Kendall even though he is just a fictional character and the show has been over for months now. I have never been more connected to and saddened for another character ever.
Jeremy says that just reading the script isn’t enough for him and he wants to experience and learn about the character as much as he can.
People think he is ridiculous for doing this sort of method acting and call him names but when the film comes out, he does such an amazing job, even if his character is just a small side character. To me, he makes the movie or series so much more believable.
He mentioned that acting for him was like escaping into a fantasy. I understand this deeply and I’m not even trying to be like “omg, I understand him. Im so different.” Im just trying to say I know the feeling. I am very introverted and shy and I have been like that my whole life, I acted in my school plays and as soon as I got onto the stage, I felt like a different person. I wasn’t the shy awkward weirdo, I felt as if I was my character. I even played the “funny” character in my twelfth grade high school play and the character was the complete opposite of me, loud and seemed to have no fear of anything. The character was the opposite of me but I managed to play the character well because it was so different from me that I won an award. (Still proud of myself for that hehe🤟🏻)
I will just forever respect him as he makes his characters come to life and does such a phenomenal job in every film/series he works in. In my opinion, he is so misunderstood. He is just a guy who is very passionate in what he does and he does it so brilliantly and I wish everyone could see it.
It’s so not going to happen lol but when I see his broadway show, I want to congratulate him on everything he has done and how hard he has worked Won’t happen though because for one, I probably will only see him on the stage and two, even if I did get lucky enough to somehow get him to sign my Playbill, I would probably be crying so hard and not being able to let words out properly💀 haha I can just imagine him, he’d give me like the side eye for crying so hard. I like to say that I’m like Lana Del Rey and I’m pretty when I cry but no, I am definitely not pretty when I ugly cry lolll.

so a few weeks ago, my bf spotted jeremy strong in a cafe in manhattan that sells very legit danish pastries and overheard jeremy saying to the barista that he had just flew in from copenhagen (where he lives) and so he just had to stop in for the danish pastries WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT
Tumblr media
anyways you may now have appropriate feelings about kieran possibly improvising this based on something that jeremy likes in real life

So, I finally watched Hazbin Hotel...
Weird, given how I talked about it a bunch. Heck, one of my top rated posts at the moment is my interpretation regarding the fear in Alastor's eyes during his breakdown. But despite having opinions on Hazbin Hotel, I've never really checked the show out, especially as it was coming out. I was kind of waiting for all episodes to get released so I could binge it all in one sitting, but I kept pushing that off until TODAY, and...I have thoughts.
Pros:
Love the animation of the show. Every praise I could give animation is present, with each character being incredibly expressive, their movements fluid, and the animators know when to be stiff for comedic scenes and giving their all for the big musical numbers or action.
I also love the way these characters look. I hear people complain about how overdesigned everything is, and that's valid. I would NOT want to animate this show due to every detail that I'd have to keep track of. But...if we can still praise Spider-Verse despite the animators being under torturous conditions as they make every frame a work of art, we can give the animators the same pat on the back here for making this show look as good as it is. Besides, a few years ago we had people complaining how every western cartoon looks the same. Now we have a show that's the most visually distinct than a lot of animated series coming out today and now we're complaining about that? I'm a man who admires effort more than anything, and while I agree that simpler is better with televised animation, I'm still proud that the animators pulled through in this.
The songs are all great, with personal favorites being "Loser, Baby," "Hell's Greatest Dad," "Stayed Gone," "Hell is Forever," and "You Didn't Know." The weakest one is probably "Whatever it Takes," but it's not really BAD, not me. Just not as strong as the others. I dug this soundtrack and it was the main thing that suck me into this show.
Charlie, as a protagonist, is pretty strong. I love the irony of the daughter of Hell is the nicest person in existence and her frustrations in making the Hazbin Hotel a success a delight because you WANT her to succeed as much as everyone else does. Plus, where most adult comedies make their protagonists cynical a-holes, it's a nice change of pace to have a hopeful one that apologizes as she's fighting people. Love it.
Angel Dust is easy to root for. What he goes through with Valentino is...something that someone like me can't fully grasp and understand, let alone judge. But I personally feel like it does the job to show the tragedy that this character goes through and allows you to root for him to get better.
And I like that Husk is right there to support Angel Dust, being a sort of conscience to protect him despite how much Angel gets on Husk's nerves. I also dig that they grow closer together, treating each other with mutual respect and admiration. It's sweet and I hope things turn out well for these two. Plus, he's voiced by Kieth David. The man can't do wrong.
Nifty is the funniest character in the show, and I will hear no disagreements about it.
Sir Pentious is a lovable loser who's the second funniest character. He reminds me of Papyrus from Undertale, trying so hard to prove that he's strong and powerful only to hilariously fail at every turn. You really root for the guy to get better and feel grateful that he finds happiness in a way I'm not sure anyone could have expected.
Rosie only appeared in one episode, and she's already my favorite. The gal's chipper and supportive towards Charlie, to the point where I completely forgot that she was a cannibal overlord who killed her partner to take full control of the business. Again, I love the irony of characters like this.
Lucifer was more fun than expected. I thought he'd be Mr. Serious, but he's just as bombastic and fun-loving as Charlie and Jeremy Jordan sounds like he's having the time of his life being this character to the point where it's addicting.
Vox has the potential to be a great antagonist and it's a crime that he only has ONE episode with relevance. Hoping he gets more in the future.
And Alastor. I love the concept of a character always smiling with the only thing betraying him are his eyes. As someone who takes joy in facial expressions, I always have a great time trying to analyze a character's restrictions and seeing how they emote, especially when animators and artists utilize a character's eyes to do most of the talking. That's done here in spades, making Alastor more interesting of an evil character as he keeps people guessing with his devious smile, not even dropping it when he's having a mental breakdown.
All and all, I can see how this show can draw in an audience...BUT...
Cons:
The comedy misses more than it hits. The funniest stuff comes from Nifty and Sir Pentious, but other than that, I don't really laugh much with this show. The dramatic moments work decently enough, so that's a pro, but when it's trying to make you laugh, it crumbles for the most part.
The constant swearing does get on one's nerves a bit. Dialogue, more than anything, depends on character. And to have EVERYONE swear almost consistently feels like a misstep. Because if everyone shares a similar level of lingo, then how can you differentiate a character's line on paper. Plus, I feel like it cheapens certain character. Saint Peter, the man who greets you at the pearly gates, shouldn't be another character that goes, "Oh, shit" when him going "Oh, shucks" speaks more about who is compared to everyone else and gives a glimpse into how different Heaven is from Hell.
The dialogue also hurts a character like Adam too. I want to buy that he's Earth's first man, but having him talk like a douchebag rockstar kind of takes me out of it a bit. Like, the way he talks doesn't sound like how the first human being should sound. He sounds like a guy who died in the late eighties, which SHOULD be funny but it's too distracting too much of the time when a character who talks like an old man who's ignorant to modern thinking could have had so much to say about what Heaven deems as worthy to be up above. They nailed the ignorance, but had him speak it in a way that doesn't fit humanity's first man. Maybe less "Call me Dickmaster" and more more "Call me Sir."
Vaggie...is FINE, I guess? But her character faces the same problems as Millie in Helluva Boss, where most of her personality and character is dependent on the relationship she has with another.
I'm also not a fan of Chaggie. I'm sorry. I'm in love with the ship dynamic of the stern, responsible one paired with the bubbly optimist. Heck, I'm a Lumity shipper because of it. But Chaggie just...WHELMS me. I don't hate them together but I'm not foaming at the mouth with each cute scene they share either. Honestly, I ship Charlie more with Emily than I do Vaggie, which...sucks for Vaggie, I guess. But Emily deserves love in her life too, dammit.
And the pacing for this season really is bad. I don't think the problem with this show is that it had eight episodes. Less is more is a phrase for a reason and we don't need twenty episode long seasons for EVERY show. I prefer it, don't get me wrong. Allows characters the a chance to breath and allows the story to take its time more. But what kills Hazbin Hotel's first season is that it feels like a three-season long story just got wrapped up into ONE. I'm sure there's more plans with Heaven, the Vees, and especially Lilith, but to have the season end with the next extermination feels like Avatar ending its first season with Souzin's Comet. There's so much the characters need to do and prepare for in so little time, ending a status quo shaking event, that I feel like a smarter idea would have been splitting this season's story line up into three parts. I mean, unless the cast and crew didn't know ahead of time that they'd only get eight episodes a season, why not have a little faith that they could have split the story up better? Because otherwise, it makes the show feel like it went by way too quickly. Eight episodes isn't a problem, but how they use those eight episodes DO.
So, while I can absolutely see why Hazbin Hotel could have its fans, I can also see how it can put people off. The style and characters work well enough, but the dialogue, jokes, and story need much more polish. It's not the worst, but not the best either. I hope things improve in Season Two and that the show itself can redeem ITSELF in the future.

obsessively thinking about jeremy's introduction arc in saffron au,,
Evan just got back from being kidnapped a couple months ago and the experience left him feeling worthless and monstrous and undeserving of any kindness or love, and you add that on top of it being Mike AND MIKE'S FRIENDS who continuously hurt and then almost killed Evan at the Bite. And of course when Mike starts getting close to Jeremy, Ev is going to be scared Mike will choose Jeremy over him.
And when Ev can't stop Jeremy and Mike from getting close, Evan runs away before Mike will have the chance to hurt him again.
Mike is terrified when his little brother suddenly disappears again. He finds Evan relatively quick, but he learns that this time Evan CHOSE to leave because he was scared of Jeremy.
Mike doesn't want to lose Ev and he doesn't want to lose Jeremy either, but Evan is so fucking scared. And after how Mike manipulated Evan’s fears when they were kids, Mike doesn't see any solution other than offering to cut contact with Jeremy. He's not letting his little brother get hurt ever again.
Ev running away has left Mike terrified, too. So, he takes Evan to visit some of the runaway teen shelters that Mike had to frequent when he ran away from William.
At first, Evan is confused and hurt. He misinterprets Mike taking him to these places as Mike's silent way of telling Evan to leave again, to run away and never come back because "I don't want you anymore."
When Ev starts to freak and lash out, Mike realizes his mistake and has to explain properly. "I love you. I want you to be safe, and i want you to be safe *with me.* But if something else happens that I can't predict again, if you ever feel like you can't be near me again, i want you to know there are places you can go. Places where you can be cared for, with people who will look out for you. I don't want you to be alone like I was, to go through what I went through. I don't want you to leave me. I want to be here to keep you safe, forever, but if something happens, then-- I just-- you staying safe is the most important thing to me, even if you decide that you have to be away from me to be safe."
And to Ev, it's confusing and it's scary... but somehow it does get through to him. Evan decides to risk believing again that Mike really does unconditionally love him.
And they try going back to normal, except... Evan can see how miserable Mike is without Jeremy around. And Ev isn't so sure anymore that making Mike cut Jeremy out of his life was the right choice.
So Evan leaves the house, and he goes straight to Jeremy. He tries to explain Mike's sudden silence. He tries explaining that Mike never wanted to ignore or abandon Jeremy; Ev explains that Mike only did all of that because Evan asked him to, that Mike misses Jeremy every day and wants Jem in his life again. Ev apologizes for what he did and asks Jeremy to give Mike another chance.
For as strong as Evan is trying to be, he's also so scared, and he tearily asks Jem to take Mike back but "please don't steal my brother away from me. He's all that I have."
Jeremy promises that they won't ever, ever steal Evan's big brother from him.
*author's note; mike and jeremy are queerplatonic partners, not boyfriends

I love you more than I love tom jones
character: scout
warning: none!
Note: this is a confession!!! how he'd react to a confession from you and how he'd confess. I'm gonna do all the other mercenaries, but for now I'm doing them one by one! So look out for the next ones :)
readers confession is short, because it can be whatever you want it to be. So I only made it how he'd react to one, not a specific one. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! xx ♡
♡Scout♡
When he confesses...
• he's a nervous wreck, he makes plans to tell you how he feels, heck the whole team is in on it!
• though, as always, disaster strikes and everything fails.
• after a day of failed attempts, he gives up even when the others tell him to keep going, and goes to hang out on the roof to look at the stars.
• you and him are practically best friends, and you had noticed hes felt down recently. so, with two cans of bonk in your hands, you make your way up to the roof to talk to him.
"Hey man, you good?".
"HAH-OH-fuck ya scared the shit outta me Y/N. Hey, yeah no I'm good. Definitely."
As you sit next to him you hand him a can and he graciously accepts, yet its obvious by his weary smile he's not well.
"Cmon Jer, I can tell your lying. What happened?"
"..."
Silence falls between you two, the crickets deafening to your ears.
Finally, after what felt like forever, he spoke.
"...there's this person I like. And...I've been meanin' to tell em...ya know...I like em. But, everythin' keeps on going wrong," He pauses,
"I just wanna tell em, but they're so clueless about it. It...its hard. Listen, I'm not shy or anythin' but damn! It's difficult."
You listen intently, as he pours his emotions out to you.
"I don't know if I should keep goin' cause...what if they don't like me back like that?"
• He finishes, taking a sip of his can as he stares off into the starry sky. You frown at his uncharacteristic self, he was usually never one to give up so this person must be really special to him. You placed a hand on his shoulder, making him pull all his attention towards you.
"Jeremy, listen to me very carefully. You are such an amazing person, your funny, you care about others even if they don't give you the time of day, your strong, talented, and honestly? Really fucking cute. If that person can't see how much you care about them? Then fuck them, why? Cause there are tons of people out there who love you Jer."
His face is tinted with a soft pink, as he chuckles. "You really think so?"
"I know so Jeremy. I doubt that they don't like you back though, nobody can resist your charm." You tease, making you both laugh.
"Yeah, yeah I guess your right."
• You are met with silence once again, with you now closer to his body. Your arms press against each other, as he goes back to staring into nothingness.
"Hey, Y/N."
"Yeah Scout?"
He looks to you, and you both lock eyes. The way he's staring into you right now makes you feel nervous yet you can't seem to pull away from him.
"I...love you."
His voice, calm and gentle. His expression once sad was now confident, and radiant of positivity. Your body flinched at those words, feeling the heat rise to your cheeks. You are left speechless, you were the one he liked? The clueless person who had left him head over heels?
The realisation hits you like a bus, as your mouth opens to an O shape.
"...Y/N?"
"OH FUCK IM THE CLUELESS ONE?!"
"PFFT-BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAA-"
• as he laughs, you freak out internally. He likes you too??? And...and he's been giving out signs and your DUMBASS HASNT REALISED?? FOR FUCKS SAKE Y/N
• you bury your face in your hands as he goes on, finally stopping to hear a reply.
"So uh...do ya like me too?"
"Fuck...yea...I um. I love you too Jeremy."
His smile widened and became a cheeky grin. He was absolutely brimming with excitement you could practically feel it! He was bright, brighter than the shining sun, god was he so happy.
"Really? You...your not saying that just because right? Right?"
"No Scout, I really do love you too."
"Holy...oh my god? Holy fuck...wait no way..ya like me too?"
"Yes scout."
"Like...like like? Love? All that romantic stuff?"
"Yeah man, I love you."
"Fuck say that again?"
"Pfft...I love you scout."
He jumps and stands tall on the roof, puffing out his chest, "THEY LOVE ME, HEAR THAT SHIT? YEAH, THEY LOVE ME." You burst out laughing at his sudden proclamation. Though he quickly sits back down, clears his throat as if nothing happens and stares at you happily.
"I uh...can I hug you?" He asks, as he twiddles his fingers together.
"Yeah."
He leans in to wrap his arms around you, engulfing your soft scent as his smile widens even more. He's ecstatic he really is, and you don't doubt it.
You two will spend time with each other just being in each others presence for a bit at the rooftop, until he decidedly gets "tired" and goes back to his room just so he can brag about it to everybody else.
They're happy for him, I mean they knew about your crush for him so it would always end up this way, but happy nonetheless. Plus his shouting about "they love me" and whatnot was heard all over Teufort, waking up some of the other teams members.
He will not sleep that night, shuffling in his bed and giggling like a school girl thinking replaying those words in his mind. "I love you, Jeremy."
Will definitely ask you out the next day, no hesitation needed now that he knows you feel the same.
When you confess...
• WHATDIDYOUSAYYYYYYY????
• you...you love him?
• "I er....wow. I didn't know ya felt that way. Fuck, uh..."
• he's...so happy? But incredibly shocked! He never knew you felt the same way he did for you. Without a word, he pulls you into a tight hug, not letting go as if he did his whole world would collapse.
• "shit...I love you too Y/N. fuck that's good to get of my chest."
• you both stay like that for a bit, until he let's go. With a confident expression, he asks
"SO...how about I take ya out to dinner? You, me, fancy restaurant? How does that sound toots?"
His voice cracks slightly, making you giggle.
"I'd love that."
Your soft eyes make his heart tremble, a lovesick smile plastered onto his face. "GREAT! Pick you up at 8 tomorrow...yeah!"
He runs off to brag to his teammates, who is glad he's so happy but you confessing to him gave him a bigger ego boost it needed to.
• when he confesses to you, he feels less nervous. When YOU confess to him? He's so happy it's like he discovered the cure for cancer. The difference is intense.

In honour of the new book announcement here is an old (kev)Jerejean thing I wrote
Now I am always a lover of Kevjerejean in a happy relationship buttttttt I also love the idea that Jerejean get together after Jean joins the Trojans but whenever Jean sees Kevin he can’t help but look at him and remember everything the were to each other. Now their relationship was not truly a committed relationship in any way. Kevin was never his boyfriend. But their relationship was at one point so strong that Jean in the back of his mind could not think about being around anyone else in the way he was with Kevin. They had a trust built on shared abuse. A connection forged with the restless nights spent patching each other up or simply sitting together unable to rest in fear of being defenceless. Every time Jean sees Kevin he can’t help but miss that time, that connection , that partnership. Jean knows that that part of his life is long over and he is so thankful for it, but occasionally when Jean smiles at a joke his teammates made or when he gets to wear an outfit he picked outside of the red and black colour scheme of the Ravins, Jean wishes, deep down that Kevin was there to see it. Without any doubt in his mind Jean is still mad at Kevin for what he did. Leaving Jean alone to face Riko’s wrath. Abandoning him to go live his happy life with a father, friends, and smiles he could never imagine for himself. But now that Jean is free form The Nest he deep down knows why Kevin did it. Why he left at the first opportunity. He knows and understands and forgives. With that forgiveness came the want. The want to see this version of Kevin and to know him. Jean wants to see Kevin smile, laugh, be at ease, and not worried that behind the next corner will be a fist, cane, or knife.
Jean misses Kevin, but then there’s Jeremy. Jeremy who welcomed him with open arms to the Trojans. Jeremy who wasn’t pushed away by Jeans rudeness but instead taught him that yelling and orders were not the only way of communication. Jeremy was the pinnacle of the sunny California bro, with his bright eyes and blond hair, his face perpetually tan and freaked, forever plastered with a smile. Jean had no chance of not falling for this sunny boy.
It all began with the first time they met. Jean still bed bound, covered in cuts and bruised to hell. Jeremy is kind and gentle but not pitying. Every time someone sees Jean they react with incessant reptitition of “are you alright” or “is there anything i can do for you.” But not Jeremy. Jeremy just sits there and talk to Jean like he doesn’t look like he got hit by a car. For whatever reason, the presence of this smiling sunshine man allows Jean to take his first deep breath in weeks.
As time goes on the Trojans become home for Jean. The locker room is no longer a scary place, the court no longer life or death. Jean, for the first time in over ten years, has a home. A home, with Jeremy Knox at a team he has begun to trust. That trust is why the quiet moment in his bed when Jeremy asks to kiss him for the first time he against all odds says yes. With that first kiss Jean unknowingly begins the next chapter of his life. A time where a warm embrace, echoing laughter, and genuine friendship are second nature. With this new found life Jean is able to do something he never before thought possible, he calls Kevin. The road to reconciliation isn’t easy but after a couple years of hard work, many extensive talks with Jeremy, and mutual respect for each others experiences Jean can confidently say that Kevin is once more one of the most important people in his life.
and hey if Jean and Jeremy invite Kevin over for a “sleepover” every once and a while that’s no one’s business but theirs thank you very much

I'm reading the script for S04E07, and I want to know what kind of pheromones Jeremy Strong was giving off that day, because the KenNate stuff had a completely different vibe, and the Matsson stuff wasn't as charged either.
The Nate stuff was purely business, with Rome involved too, and Nate seemed to get angry at the hard sell. Not concerned.
And the Matsson stuff still had the macho posturing. I mean, Matsson was scripted to say "night, sweetie" and then they "bro-hug". No neck kiss.
I'm so glad we got the screen version instead. Kendall looked so good and so bad. He deserved all those hugs and concern from Nate, even if Kendall was too manic and preoccupied to see it.
And I do think Kendall's politics are more in line with Nate's and less in line with ATN, so I'm glad Nate didn't attack him so much on that, unlike the script.
It's so interesting to see the differences between the script and the episode. I love Kendall so much, and am forever grateful for the tenderness between Nate and Kendall, because I needed someone to show him some kindness.

Not quite sure if it's a hot take or not, but bamon remaining platonic not only made sense for the characters, it also served the narrative best. There is a bias here that I acknowledge considering I will forever and always be a delena, however, I do think that bamon becoming romantic would have been a disservice to the narrative. For starters, I'll just get it out of the way: there is no way that a writer (based on the first six seasons of tvd) could conceive a plot that would make it seem like Damon loved Bonnie as much as he loved Elena. It just wouldn't be possible as nearly everything Damon does he does for Elena; of course, there are exceptions and it's with Elena's love and compassion that he begins to do (what he sees) as the right thing by people like Stefan or Jeremy. This does not mean his love for Bonnie isn't strong or significant just because it's not the same kind of love he has for Elena. In fact, I'd argue that the importance of Damon having different loves cannot be overstated.
Bonnie does bring out the good in Damon (especially outside of his feelings for Elena), but I think attributing all of his growth solely to Bonnie is disingenuous at best. Their time in the prison world was marked by discussions of Elena, she was their tether to reality and each other until their relationship could stand on its own. Bonnie helps Damon become even more human. Without Bonnie's friendship, it's possible that Damon wouldn't have had enough human connections to have chosen to become human with Elena. However, I don't necessarily think Damon brings out anything new or interesting in Bonnie. She has always been good, but also willing to protect herself and her friends at any means necessary (even going as far as almost killing Damon in season two). He doesn't bring this side out in her, it's always been there. Even in season six, as she begins to put herself first (rightfully so), this isn't at Damon's prompting, it's because of him ALSO using her as a means to an end occasionally (this isn't to say Damon is a terrible friend--each time he's asked Bonnie for help it was for the betterment of Elena or others he cared about). As he's stated before, he's, ultimately, selfish. Throughout season six almost every conversation he has with Bonnie is to help him with something, and while he grows out of this it leaves a sour taste in my mouth for a romantic relationship between them. Bonnie deserves someone who will put her first, and that's just not Damon who canonically will never put anyone above Elena when it comes down to it.
Conversely, I /do/ think Elena and Damon bring out something new within each other. Elena, like Bonnie, is willing to sacrifice herself for her friends at the drop of a hat, but its Damon's insistence on the importance of her life that convinces her of this. Additionally, he is the only one who truly sees her and accepts her flaws and all; when she became a vampire, it was Damon who allowed her to grow and change. Even in season one, he saw how unhappy she was cheerleading and forcing herself back into the mold of her life before, and encouraged her to let that old self go. It is through Elena's love that Damon opens himself to other kinds of love. And I don't think this relationship can ever be overshadowed even with chemistry and best friendship.
