wip wednesday - 5/15/2024
leika? posting a wip wednesday??? i promise i'm not dead!!! to make up for the weeks i've missed, i'll share TWO snippets because i love you all, one from a beautiful chance and one from my @aroyallybigbangrwrb <333333 tags are under the cut!
excerpt from chapter 8 of a beautiful chance:
“Alex?”
The alpha’s name falls from Henry’s lips with such reverence that he may as well have been genuflecting at his feet if he weren’t confined to the hospital bed. Even in his current state, he reaches out for him, for his alpha, in desperate need for something soft, something familiar.
Relief floods his chest, a tight squeeze that gradually releases to let in the air that completely fills his deprived lungs. Cutting through the sharp stench of disinfectant is the familiar aroma of cinnamon, magnolias, and burning wood, and there is a sudden stinging in his eyes that he can’t ignore.
Home. That is what he smells when he breathes in Alex’s scent. He is home.
“Alpha,” Henry says, a whimper falling from chapped lips.
For one terrifying moment, he thinks Alex will turn away from him, will leave and disappear through the door, never to return, but then, the alpha closes the distance between them. Three long strides, and there he is, collapsing at his bedside.
“Baby.”
excerpt from It's all in my head (I fuck up again and again):
That is when he notices Bea in the corner, sitting on the floor with an acoustic guitar on her lap.
“You’re playing again,” he says, not even trying to conceal his shock.
“I am,” Bea answers with a shrug, her left hand tight around the neck of the guitar. She looks down at her fingers and smirks as she strums a C chord. “Someone inspired me.”
Henry silently steps further into the room and joins her on the floor. David doesn’t seem like he wants to leave his side anytime soon, and Henry doesn’t want the old boy to leave either, so he lets him settle in his lap, warm and comforting. And for a moment, time comes to a standstill and rewinds, back to the days when life was much simpler and when happiness meant more to them than just an unattainable fantasy.
“Play something for me?” he asks her quietly.
Bea nods. “Sure. Any requests?”
“Surprise me.”

Oversharing on the internet
Thank you @ambiguouspenny for the tag!! <3
1. Are you named after anyone?
Ohhh yes. My first name is literally the female version of my dad and brother’s name… Patricio/Patrick. My middle name is after my Abuela (dad’s side) bc she died a couple of months before I was born.
2. When was the last time you cried?
HA! I’m actually proud of this one *clears throat* ever since the 911 Lone Star finale...for now.
3. Do you have kids?
I’m 22 almost 23, so my only child has four legs and lives in my apt rent free. I’m also undecided about having them in general (bio or adopted)? I have a autoimmune disease that makes it harder for me to have them and I also had surgery when I was 14… lets say I have 1/3 of my left ovary chopped off bc of a random health issue I had as a kid and now I have a faint smiley face on my bikini line :) talk about oversharing.
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
*Takes sunglasses off* Babes, I invented sarcasm. It’s the fourth language I’m fluent in… its a culture thing.
5. What sports have you played/do you play?
Fútbol and futsal. Loved them. Stopped when I got into college but I still participated in intramural games in my sorority/club. I also played basketball in middle school for a bit, but ultimately gave it up bc there wasn't really a girl’s team in my school.
6. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Their personality so I don't make them angry on purpose. I’m a notorious people pleaser, and I hate confrontation when it comes to myself, so I need you to like me…. LIKE ME
7. What's your eye colour?
I have dark, brown cow eyes
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
Scary movies bc I cry when movies have happy endings and I don't like tearing up at the movies. Emotions? me? pfttt
9. Any special talents?
I can meow like an actual cat, and put my feet at the back of my head, you know the usual.
10. Where were you born?
El Caribe 😎
11. What are your hobbies?
Singing, drawing, playing the ukulele
12: Do you have any pets?
My 3 year old cat, harry :)
13. How tall are you?
I’m Jennifer Love Hewitt, inches tall.
14. Favourite subject in school?
P.E and Maths. Mind you, I hate Maths with a great passion, but I was in group B (When you reached the 6th grade, they will separate the two form groups of your year group, in my school there was two class groups per year, and they will separate students in A and B group depending on how well you were doing in that specific subject). B group was always the funniest class to be in. I was usually an A group type of student but I always made sure I was in B group for at least a few of my classes and in Maths? It was inevitable.
Anyways, I sat in the middle of the most chaotic pair of people, this dude (a twin) who had a crush on me at the time and this volleyball player who I once had a fall out with. For context, back home I went to a small British school, pre-k––12th grade, and from the 6th grade until I left on 10th grade, I always sat with them bc I will always LAUGH MY ASS OFF every damn class period. Our teacher was this 24 year old guy from Scotland and he was fine with us being together because we got good grades and did the work. I like looking back at this because, we weren't friends, we didn't hang out or talked after class much, but we always sat together because it brought us joy.
Oddly enough I will always miss the poorly drawn dicks at the last page of my maths notebook, the stupid jokes, and the dumb noises they will make on purpose 😂
15. Dream job
To be an immigration lawyer and help other minorities. I just graduated from college, so I’m taking a much needed year off and then law school here I come!
And my “You probs already did this, and def don't do it again if you have, but I’m still tagging you because its 2am” tag goes to: @noxsoulmate @itsneonbright @tailoredshirt @anchor-bird-94 @taralaurel @tylerkennedys @catanisspicy and anyone else who wants to do this :)
#tag game#oh look at the time its 2AM#AGAIN#Im doing these test with my endocrinologist to see if I can sleep like a normal person#HA#so if I seem super chaotic or a hyper child apologies#I haven’t slept properly the past THREE DAYD#Im playing fetch with harry... again#he thinks its funny#😭

"Her past trauma had made her an expert at putting her feelings away in a box, so that she could function normally around other people. She could then open the box and work through her issues in private at a later time. Or, never. You could ignore your feelings forever, right?" I feel like you reached into my brain and wrote my exact feelings here. I feel seen and understood. Thank you for writing this, absolutely beautiful!! :)
Ugh, thank you so much! I am honored that you connect with my writing, although I kind of wish that you didn’t have to connect with this for obvious reasons.
You know how they say to write what you know? Well, I know this!
In the story, Betty is realizing that she can’t ignore her feelings forever. If you (not you specifically, just anyone with a Box) ignore The Box of Feelings, your pain/trauma/feelings will fester and manifest in unexpected ways. The Box will crack and you will be forced to deal with your issues.
If you ignore The Box long enough, it will literally explode. Usually, it will be triggered when you are going through something else difficult and all of your repressed Things will be brought to the forefront and you will have to just face everything and work through your feelings whether you like it or not.
I’m having Betty find support (through Jughead, a therapist, other trusted people) to help her unpack The Box before it reaches that point.
PSA, Folks: Don’t ignore The Box!!! Open the box. Process the things inside. Talk to trusted friends. Talk to a counselor/therapist. Do it intentionally before it reaches its breaking point.
So, @anchor-bird-94, I’m not sure where you’re at in your Box journey, but I hope you are doing well. Please message me if you ever need someone to talk to. Didn’t mean for this Ask to get you a in involuntary, public therapy session? Well, you got one anyway.

I'm about to re-watch beetlejuice for the first time since I was a kid. I don't remember enjoying much of it as a kid besides the great cast and the shake, shake, shake senora scene but your strange and unusual bughead Au is just lovely and so I'm going to give the movie another go. Thanks for helping me pick out my Friday night movie. :) p.s. can't wait for the next chapter of S&U.
How did the rewatch go? The movie is so many things - creepy, campy, cringe-y, crazy fun! Burton and Elfman: The Early Years. What a duo. Oh, the cast was GREAT. I could shake it all the time with those folks. If the movie still wasn’t your bag on the second time around, I’m still honored Strange and Unusual inspired you to take a trip down memory lane. I hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters as Jughead and Betty navigate revenge plots and romance. Have a great night!

wip wednesday - 5/1/2024
hello hello hello! I am almost released from the confines of grad school, so to celebrate here is more from my @aroyallybigbangrwrb!! I've been tagged by so many lovely people over the last couple weeks - just know that I see you, I love you, and I can't wait to read what you've all got in store!!! no pressure tags will be under the cut <3
a letter from alex to henry:
Hen,
Don’t think for a second that I would ever call you a coward. You are the bravest son of a bitch I know.
And I already told you. I forgive you. I’ll keep repeating it until you’re sick of me. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you.
Thank you for writing back to me. A part of me wasn’t expecting a reply, but the other part - the most desperate part of me - needed to know that you were okay. The only thing about rehab is what I know from the movies. Does it feel like a cult over there? Wait, I probably shouldn’t say anything like that, in case I get assassinated or something. Ignore me.
(But seriously though, are you getting cult-y vibes from anyone?)
Did you know it was pouring rain when I got to KP? Nora convinced me to use my sky miles, and I didn’t realize I’d be practically swimming through London when I landed. Bea said I looked like a drowned rat when I got to the palace, and Shaan almost didn’t let me in. I’m a little pissed that I didn’t get to you in time. I had a whole speech ready. Truly something to rival Mr. Darcy and his fuckass sideburns. But I think the letters will have to do. Makes it feel even more like Jane Austen, which I’m sure you’d prefer, you big romantic.
You may say you have a wretched heart, but it is still the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. I want to know every inch of your heart, all the good parts and the bad ones, too. We haven’t had that much time together, but I already want it all. I will gladly be the sun to your moon, and when we finally cross paths in our orbits, I will make it worth your while. We’ll be a global phenomenon. Just you and me. Hopefully, I don’t have to wait every 44 years to see you. But I’ll still wait forever if I have to, because like I said, you’re not getting rid of me that easily. I don’t even think it’s physically possible for me to let you go. So sorry, babe, you’re stuck with me.
If you want to be strong, do it for yourself, not for me. And even if you can’t be strong, that’s okay, too. I like to imagine recovery like a rollercoaster. It goes up, but it also goes down. And sometimes, there’s a random loop-the-loop that throws you off-kilter until it levels out again. It takes time, but I know you will eventually make it to the end.
I understand your decision, but if you ever change your mind just let me know.
I’ll always wait for you,
A

Bughead Fandom Love Day
Wow, where do I even begin...this is the first fandom I have ever joined, my love for Archie Comics and Bughead drawing me into the show...and that drawl somehow led me here, to Tumblr (where I’ve resided daily ever since). I don’t think I can even call the people I’ve met here just ‘fans/followers/aquaintences, etc’ because in all honestly, after this long it feels much more like family most days (complete with the nuts that most family trees have as well as the relatives no one claims).
There are some of you who I talk to more than people I know in person, or just as much as the friends I see everyday, and as crazy as this fandom drives me some days, I will NEVER regret joining it as it has brought some of the most special people into my life, and blessed me with friendships that I will cherish for long after Riverdale ends. I know if I list people (which I will do below), I will inevitably miss some of these important people, especially with the tag limit (tho I may do a repost with more tags ☺️), but please know...if we have ever talked or interacted, or if I have read your work, or shared your art, or just sent an ask to say Hi, that means you are one of these amazing people who have helped shaped this disfunctional little family for me, and for that I will always be grateful ❤️. That includes my followers, even though some of us may not interact directly, or have maybe never chatted, I see you and I appreciate you. I love you guys (and Bughead) and I am so very thankful to be a part of this beautiful disaster with you🥰😘❤️.

Double Features 2: Splatter, Splicer, Slander, Slasher
Considering the fact that we’re locked down and most folks aren’t going out much, why not settle in on a weekend with double feature. As part of a series of articles, I’ve decided to suggest some titles that would make for an interesting pair. It’s a time commitment like binging a few episodes of a TV show, and hopefully these double features are linked in interesting enough ways that it has a similar sense of cohesion. They also can be watched on separate occasions, but the lesser the distance between them, the more the similarities show. Do it however you want, really. I’m merely a guy on the internet, and that qualifies me for absolutely nothing! Enjoy at your own risk.
This template is back! I wanted to suggest a few more double features, but this time keep them in a specific genre: horror. I love horror movies, and I realized that I hadn’t really given them their due on this here blog, so I wanted to remedy that by showing a lot of love across a lot of different movies. I’ve put together some international movies, some classics, some that are silly, some that are serious, and even a bonus suggestion hidden in one of these blurbs. So without any more ramble in the preamble, here are four new suggested double features.
Note: The pairs are listed in the order I think best serves them being seen.
Hausu & Evil Dead II:
Hausu aka House (not to be confused with 1985 American horror film of the same name) has sort of transcended cult movie status to become a staple of off-center horror-comedy. Directed by recently deceased Nobuhiko Obayashi, the film shows his roots in advertisements with every shot designed for maximum effect, a (still) cutting edge approach in the edit, and a joyous, playful approach to special effects. It’s a gauzy and dreamy romp about a group of schoolgirls who head to the countryside on vacation. While staying at one of their aunts’ house, the supernatural hauntings begin, and heads start to roll (as well as bite people on the butt). It’s the type of movie where the main cast of characters are named Gorgeous, Kung Fu, Melody, Prof, Mac, Sweet, and Fantasy and they each have corresponding character traits. I was lucky enough to catch this at a rep screening at the Museum of Fine Arts a few years ago (further proof that this has gone beyond the cult curio status), and this is absolutely a movie that benefits from having a crowd cheer and laugh along - but it’s fairly easy to find and still has lots of pleasures to be enjoyed on solo watch. I’m pretty much willing to guarantee that if you enjoy it on first watch, you’ll want to share it with others. Now, where does one start when talking about Evil Dead II? Sam Raimi is rightfully as well known for his start in the hair-brained splatter genre fare as he is for his genre-defining Spider-man films. The influence of the Evil Dead movies is nearly unquantifiable, apparent in the work of directors like Edgar Wright, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and the Korean New Wave filmmakers like Bong Joon-ho and Park Chan-wook. There’s a reason that the second film of his Evil Dead odyssey is the one that people hold in highest esteem, though. There is an overwhelming gleeful creativity, anything goes, Looney Tunes approach to it that makes the blood geysers, laughing moose heads, and chainsaw hands extend beyond gore and shock into pleasure. It’s been noted over and over by critics and Raimi himself that the Three Stooges are probably the biggest influence on the film, and by golly, it shows. Evil Dead II and Hausu are pure in a way that few other movies can be. Both of these movies are an absolute delight of knowing camp, innovative special effects, and a general attitude of excitement from the filmmakers permeating through every frame. They’re a total blast and, in my mind, stand as the standard-bearers for horror-comedy and haunted house movies.
Total Runtime: 88 minutes + 84 minutes = 172 minutes aka 2 hours and 52 minutes
The Thing (1982) & The Fly (1986):
Feel free to roll your eyes as I explain the plots of two very famous movies. The Thing is John Carpenter’s body horror reimagining of Howard Hawks’ The Thing from Another World and the story that was adapted from, “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell Jr. The film is centered around a group of men in an arctic outpost who welcome in a cosmic force of shape-shifting annihilation. What ensues is a terrifically scary, nihilistic, paranoid attempt to find who isn’t who they say they are before everyone is replaced with the alien’s version of them. The film is a masterpiece of tone in no small part due to Dean Cundey’s photography and Ennio Morricone’s uncharacteristically restrained score. The real showstopper here, though, is the creature effects designed by Rob Bottin with an assist from Stan Winston – two titans of their industry. There may not be a more mind-blowing practical effects sequence in all of movies than Norris’ defibrillation – which I won’t dare spoil for anyone who hasn’t seen it. The story is so much about human nature and behaviors, that it’s good news that the cast is all top-notch – anchored by Kurt Russell, Keith David, and Wilford Brimley. While The Thing is shocking and certainly not for anyone opposed to viscera, David Cronenberg’s The Fly is the best example of a movie not to watch while eating. Quite frankly, it’s got some of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen on film. Chris Walas and Stephen Dupuis’ makeup effects are shocking, but the terror is amplified because this builds such a strong foundation of romance in its opening stretch between Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis in what might be their career-best work. The story is simple: a scientist creates a teleportation device that he tries out himself, but unknowingly does so with a fly in the chamber with him. When he reatomizes on the other end, his DNA has been integrated with the fly. Slowly his body begins to deteriorate, and he transforms into a human-fly hybrid. While this is first and foremost a science-fiction horror film, it’s truly one of the most potent love stories at its center. The tragedy is that the love, like the flesh, is mutated and disintegrated by the hubris of Goldblum’s Seth Brundle. Here are two remakes that – clutch your pearls – outdo the original. They both serve as great examples of what a great artist can bring by reinterpreting the source material to tell their version of that story. The critical respect for Carpenter and Cronenberg is undeniable now, but both of these movies make the case that there are real artists working with allegory and stunning craft in less respected genre fare. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to transpose the thematic weight of the then-new AIDS crisis onto both films, but they both have a hefty anti-authority streak running through them in a time where American Exceptionalism was at an all-time high. If you want to get a real roll going, fire up the ’78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers first to get a triple dose of auteur remakes that reflect the social anxieties of the time and chart from generalized anxiety to individualistic dread to romantic fatalism.
Total Runtime: 109 minutes + 96 minutes = 205 minutes aka 3 hours and 25 minutes
Theatre of Blood & The Abominable Dr. Phibes
That old Klingon proverb that Khan tells Kirk about revenge being a dish best served cold is challenged by these two Vincent Price tales of the macabre. They posit that revenge is best served in extremely convoluted and thematically appropriate predecessors to the Saw franchise. Where Saw trades in shock and extremity, though, these classic horror tales offer an air of panache and self-satisfied literacy. In Theatre of Blood, Price plays a disgraced and thought-dead stage actor who gets revenge on the critics who gave him negative reviews with Shakespeare-themed murder. There’s good fun in seeing how inventive the vengeful killings are (and in some cases how far the writers bend over backwards to explain and make sense of them). It’s a little rumpled and ragged in moments, but Price is, of course, a tremendous pleasure to see in action as he chews through the Shakespeare monologues. Imagine the Queen’s corgis with a chainsaw and you’re on track. Phibes came first and, frankly, is the better of the two. The story is about a musician who seeks to kill the doctors who he believes were responsible for his wife’s death during a botched surgery. The elaborate angle he takes here is to inflict the ten plagues from the Old Testament. I hesitate to use a word that will probably make me come across as an over-eager schmuck, but it really feels best described as phantasmagorical. It’s got this bright, art deco, pop art sensibility to it that’s intoxicating. It also has a terrifically dark sense of drollery - it knows that you can see the strings on the bat as it flies toward the camera. Aesthetically, it feels adjacent to the ’66 Batman show. The music is great and the indelible image of his tinker toy robot band, The Clockwork Wizards, is a personal obsession of mine. Both Theatre of Blood and The Abominable Dr. Phibes feature great supporting turns from Diana Rigg and Joseph Cotton, respectively. Settle in for a devilishly good time and enjoy one of cinema’s greatest vicarious pleasures: getting back at those of criticized or hurt you.
Total Runtime: 104 minutes + 94 minutes = 198 minutes aka 3 hours and 18 minutes
Blood and Black Lace & The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
The final pairing comes from beyond American borders and, to some, beyond the borders of good taste. Mario Bava and Dario Argento are likely the two biggest names in Italian horror, and that’s for very good reason. Bava, who started as a cinematographer, has made loads of movies (even the film which gave Ozzy Osbourne and crew the name their band name) that have tremendous visuals and terrific sense of mood. Argento, probably most famous now for Suspiria, emerged onto the Italian film scene a handful of years later and picked up that baton from Bava to crystallize the dreamy logic puzzles cloaked in hyper-saturated colors. These two films are regarded as quintessential in the giallo genre – named for the yellow covers of the pulp crime fictions that inspired them. As someone who loves the flair that can be applied to make a slasher film stand out amongst their formulaic brethren, I found that the giallo made for a smooth transition into international horror. Blood and Black Lace is a murder mystery that’s as tawdry and titillating as its title suggests. Set in an insular world of a fashion house in Rome, models are being murdered. The plot feels like a necessity in order to create a delivery system for the stunning set pieces that revolve around a secret diary. Bava puts sex right next to violence and cranks up the saturation to create something thrillingly lurid. Six years later, Argento made his first film which has often been credited for popularizing the giallo genre and already is playing around with some of his pet themes like voyeurism and reinterpretation. Built around an early set piece (that stacks up as one of the best in thrillers) in which a man is trapped but witnesses a murder, the film sees said man trying to find the piece of evidence that will make the traumatic killing make sense. Like Bava, it blends sex and violence with tons of flair, including a score by the aforementioned Ennio Morricone. The film is absolutely on a continuum between Hitchcock and De Palma. If you’re looking for a pair of exciting horror/thrillers, or even an entry point to foreign genre cinema, this is an accessible and enjoyable place to start.
88 minutes + 96 minutes = 184 minutes aka 3 hours and 4 minutes
Well, there you have it. Eight movies, and hours of entertainment curated by some guy with no real qualifications. If you’re interested in some more suggestions (in horror and other genres), stay tuned for the next entry in this Double Features series. And if you’re looking for a way to watch these movies, I highly recommend the app/website JustWatch where you can search a title and see where it’s available for streaming or rental. Happy viewing.
Thanks for reading.
