Here’s a Mega folder with a handful of junk for you trans girls to watch
https://mega.nz/folder/g14TWJaL#u5hER7DzOJbdJbAR0mhtBQ
///TGIRL FEATURE FILMS (alphabetical order)
Adam (2019) it's about a cis boy who's mistaken for a trans boy and rolls with it. Big cast of trans characters including a tgirl played by a tgirl who everyone wants to fuck. Directed by a trans dude. Highly legit. If you're still hung up on pre release speculation based on the novel then you're the most annoying person alive.
Assassination Nation (2018) The first half is Euphoria and the second half is The Purge. ONE OF THE BEST TGIRL MOVIES OF ALL TIME.
Bit (2019) Lesbian girl power vampire movie where the main character is a tgirl played by a tgirl. It's solid. I find it frustrating that they hint at her being trans without explicitly acknowledging it (and she's passing as fuck, so it's easy to not notice), but I know that's what some of y'all want.
Boy Meets Girl (2014) Cis dude for trans girl love story. Pretty normie, but also you see her fully naked (gock out) at the end.
Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) Extremely 60s. Cool as hell.
Lady Daddy (2010) South Korean romcom about a trans girl played by a cis girl who tries unconvincingly to back pass when she finds out she has a kid. Very cute.
Lingua Franca (2019) written directed and starring Isabel Sandoval. An undocumented trans woman immigrant in New York deals with a cis dude partner being a cis dude. Which is also the plot of The Garden Left Behind (2019).
Myra Breckinridge (1970) Raquel Welch is a trans woman and her goal is the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood! It's Fight Club! It's Hackers! It's divisive, but it's probably my favorite movie!
So Pretty (2019) Literally the first scripted feature length (non pornographic tho it does have cock) film to feature two trans women played by trans women kissing eachother.
Something Must Break (2014) THE OTHER BEST TGIRL MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Drugs. Crimes. Gock. Slow motion pissing. Slow motion park Fucking. Genuinely the most beautiful sex scene I've seen in any movie. And she makes it to the end still alive and more sure of herself and at peace than ever.
Tangerine (2015) Groundbreaking and also a bunch of the secondary characters are real life pornstars (which I think is neat).
The Garden Left Behind (2019) This and Lingua Franca (2019) really are tgirl twin films, but (like with Antz and A Bug’s Life) the vibes and details make them distinct (I assume tho tbh I’ve never watched Antz).
///TGIRL DOCUMENTARIES
Bambi (2013) about a trans girl showgirl in 50s/60s paris
Paris is Burning (1990) basically it's Pose.
Shinjuku Boys (1995) Trans dudes working in a tokyo club that caters to tboy chasing cis girls. There's at least one trans girl in the mix too.
///FORCED FEMINIZATION
A Reflection of Fear (1972) They raised her as a girl and it made her do murders! It drags in places, but the girl in it is so ethereal and it has ageplay vibes and daddy issues.
Memory Run (1996) A very fun direct to video scifi action flick about fighting fascism by blowing up your pre transition self with a rocket launcher + it's based on a novel written by a trans woman.
She-Man A Story of Fixation (1967) Notable for being such a cliche sissy maid fantasy while also coming out so early + it was Bob Clark's first film lol.
Sleepaway Camp (1983) A more famous version of Reflection of Fear.
Surrender Dorothy (1998) A MUST WATCH. I personally bought a physical DVD and made an ISO of it for you because I was unsatisfied with the quality of the only copy that seemed to exist online. I ALSO PERSONALLY CREATED MY OWN SUBTITLES FOR IT BECAUSE EVEN THE DVD DIDN’T INCLUDE ANY! WHICH TOOK HOURS TO DO!
The Skin I Live In (2011) A rapist is kidnapped and turned into a girl by a mournful vengeful plastic surgeon. Which was also the plot of Victim (2010). I never really vibe with Pedro Almodóvar movies, but I recognize this is the preeminent forced feminization film.
///SHORT FILMS
Gender Troublemakers (1993) Some 90s Toronto trans girls fucking and discoursing. Explicit tgirl on tgirl action. This is the only one on the list that I haven’t actually watched yet. I’m hyped to watch it tho. Seems mindblowingly rad af.
Happy Birthday Marsha (2018) It's about Marsha P. Johnson.
I don't Know (1971) I'm obsessed with the trans girl in this one she just keeps popping up in all kinds of early 70s stuff. Directed by Penelope Spheeris (who is the sister of the cis gf in it).
Mesmeralda (2019) AN ABSOLUTE BANGER HOLY FUCK THE VIBES ARE OFF THE CHARTS! PLS WATCH THIS! I refuse to apologize for it being 15GB or to re encode it. It’s worth every byte and I want to ensure that this full quality copy doesn’t disappear off of the internet.
Pat Rocco's Changes (1970) It's that same girl again!
Queens at Heart (1967) I can't get over that hairdresser girl thinking she's back passing. Most adorably weak boymode ever.
Shangri-La (2021) Another Isabel Sandoval joint.
The Yellow Wallpaper (2021) Freshly post op girl with a supportive boyfriend goes unhinged.
Undress Me (2012) Jana Bringlöv Ekspong did a few short films. Give janabringlove a google after watching this.
///JUST LIKE BTW
Some of these would be tough to find elsewhere, but most of the movies are also watchable on fmovies and/or can be torrented in higher quality.
After you've worked your way through the folder then just start doing Google searches for trans films. Look at IMDB keywords and letterboxd lists. There are so many more out there. These are just like my personal picks.

The Night Shift -Mike Schmidt x Reader (FNAF live action)
Summary: You and Mike have never gotten on the right foot, always bickering and never standing each other's presence. The day comes when both of you are interviewed for the same job and are forced to work together to see who will win the job as a security guard at a deadly pizzeria.
(A/N: The Fnaf movie is almost here! Anyone else ready to watch it this weekend?! Here's the Mike Schmidt x Reader I promised a while back. Hope it's okay but female reader is mentioned to be a bit of a goth/alternative type of girl. Also, things may change in the next part since I am writing this a few days before the movies release date. Let me know how I did and if you want part 2 once we've seen the movie)
I'd also like to tag these kind people who asked me to tag them once this was up, @riaqiax @ahsfan23 @lufvg
"Please come again and have a fantastic day!" I beam and smile as I watch the client I had attended begin to leave the store I was working at.
As soon as they are out of my sight I sigh deeply and frown looking at the direction they left. "I don't get paid enough for this crap." I tell no one.
The client has begun to ask many questions, wether the store finally had the item they had been asking for, or if the movies on the dvd sections were any good, if I had any recommendations for any.
After about half an hour of trying to convince the person to take something from the store, they had decided to leave with a few snacks and movies.
The store I have been working at happens to be a combination of many things, dvd rentals, clothes, snacks and a few figures for sale. At least it paid a bit better than the last job I had, it was a nice job with nice alternative music but the pay wasn't that good.
"(Y/N), you're on your break. Make sure to come back in 15." My coworker passed me when they returned from the restroom.
I nodded my head and left the store beginning to walk further into the mall where I have been working for a few months and began walking to the food area hoping to fill my stomach with some cheap food.
It was a calm Friday with only a few people or families circling around the building. Many kids running over to small area, an ice cream shop called 'Ice Cream Parties'.
I ordered my usual choice of food. Three sandwiches, fries and a taco. I reached my hand into the bag and began to eat minding my own business when I sat down by an empty area and I stopped chewing when I saw two men running past me.
Two security guards running fast and avoiding running into people. Immediately this caught my attention, so I began to follow the guards and quickened my pace when I heard a girl yelling for her dad.
I stayed behind from a crowd that formed near the mall's water fountain and I saw a figure, no, two in fact inside the water fountain, but one was beating the other and the worst thing was that it was one of the security guards.
"Daddy!"
People took out their flip phones and began to take a few pictures of what was happening, it quickly ended when the two men who had run past me earlier stepped into the water and pulled the poor man beneath the security guard away.
One of them began to deal with the man with a small girl running over to her beaten dad, and the other one roughly began to question the young man's actions and took him away inside an office room.
"Fuck." I muttered when I saw the man was dragged away.
I rolled my eyes and went back to my working place and spotted my coworker, "Hey, you think you can cover for me this time? Something very important and tragic happened."
My coworker nodded his head and as soon as he agreed I started running back outside the store and into the security room.
"Do you know how many paperworks we gotta do and how our establishments reputation will only decrease any more because of what you did?!" I heard the deep voice of a man question the young security guard.
"How many times are you going to give me a hard time, Mr Schmidt?"
"The man deserved it." He answered his boss.
His boss remained quiet probably just staring and him and not knowing exactly what to do. "So that's what you think? You're fired."
The man sighed but said nothing. "I'll have you sign a few paperwork before you leave and an investigation will be taken place right now. So this'll take some time to be resolved."
His boss has walked past me but said nothing assuming I was the guards family. I rolled to eyed and leaned my head forward and tilted it when I saw Mike crossing his arms.
"You're anger issues has only gotten worse." I say uninterested and notice Mike roll his eyes when he saw me.
"The fuck is you're problem?" He looked at me again and scoffed when he noticed my appearance.
Freshly dyed black hair and now with a single piercing over my eyebrow.
"You look like shit."
"I was about to say the same thing." I tell him not bothered by his words.
"Why are you so weird?" He scoffed again and looked away from me.
I poured pretending I was hurt. "Daddy issues. What can I say?" I chuckled darkly "You have anger issues, my guy. I have daddy issues. Tell me what's worse."
Mike remained silent when I mentioned him that. I looked around the onto sound coming from the clock on the wall.
"Why did you do it?" I ask him wanting to know his reason on attacking a man in front of his young daughter.
"And why should I tell you?" He remarked. "I don't owe you any favors because you got me this job weeks ago."
"I only did it for her and you know it." I defended myself and crossed my arms over my chest as well.
"Well I don't need anyone's help and that being less from you. I can take care of my own problem."
Mine has been struggling for a while now. Barely having enough money for himself, rent or raising his sister since she had no one left to look after her. The guy has his issues but it doesn't mean he had to be like this, he doesn't have a lot of money and the first thing he does is try to get himself fired… well he is definitely fired now.
Another thing I'd like to mention. Is that Mike and I have never gotten along, we've known each other for almost our entire lives and know what has happened to each other, but we've refused to get along. Not once had he been nice to me and never have I been nice to him.
We've both been through a lot of mess, similar to one another's, and instead of making us grow closer we simply grew further apart.
"Michael." I warn.
"(Y/N)." Michael says back now each of us looking at one another.
I try to remain calm and not start up another argument which always happens when we're together in a room.
Mike is the first to break eye contact and he sighs when he checks the clock again. It's nearly 2pm.
He mutters a few cursed words and looks down at lap. "Can you do me a favor and pick up Abbey from school?"
I lift an eyebrow looking at him. "Please? I know you don't own a car, so you can take mine."
Mike digs for his car keys inside from his pocket and holds them up for me. I smirk as I take them from him.
"Why trust me with your car? I can easily steal it from you and escape town."
"Because deep beneath all the bitchiness, black clothes and awful piercing. I know your a bit less tolerable when it comes to kids." Mike said glancing back at me and looking a bit too relaxed in this situation
I stared at the worn out paper sign in my hands. A second job wouldn't hurt…"Wanted security guard for night shift. Quickly I scribbled the number on my palm and crumbled the paper over and left it on the backseat.
I stepped out of car when I had parked it and recognized Mike's little sister. "(Y/N)?" She asked not expecting me at all.
Many months ago I had looked after her, now I only see her every once in a while, whenever she'd leave school early, Mike would have her stay at the mall until his shift would be over.
I came to see Abbey as a little sister as well especially since we saw each other growing up and Mike would take odd jobs at night leaving me to look after Abbey while she was still rather young.
"I'll be your escort for this ride. Hope that's fine with you, and hopefully you're teacher doesn't think I'm here to kidnap you." I tell her when I see her teacher looking at me weird.
Abbey waved her hand at the teacher making then sure she knew me.
"I'm late to my shift, so, let's hurry up shall we?" Abbey nods her head and got into the backseat when I got into the car again and turned it back on and starting driving back to the mall.
"It's been a while since we last saw each other. Thought you wouldn't remember me." I joked at the young girl while I glanced back and saw her looking outside the scenery as I drove by the familiar streets
"Of course I still remember you. My brother mentions you often." Abbey said getting my attention from her.
Didn't expect Mike to talk about me to his younger sister, Abbey.
"Oh? What does he say about me?"
"Says you're a bitch, weird and complains about his job or yours." I frowned and remained quiet. Of course why was I expecting nice from him.
"Those are his words, not mine. I actually enjoy spending time with you." Abbey said.
My expression softened when I heard Abbey says she enjoys my company. I smiled to myself and agreed with her, "I also enjoy spending time with you, Abbey."
Abbey hummed still looking outside the windows. "My brother got fired, didn't he?"
"…Yes, he did…"
Mike and I only exchanged a few words when I arrived back. He was fired, of course he was or he'd be in prison for what he did. He was probably going to celebrate later that he would no longer have to see my face at work. The guy has his problems but always finds time to argue of talk about me.
I feel for Abbey especially since she has no other female figure to talk about and have to stand and listen to her brother being annoying most of the time.
"Hey! You lose your brain there for a second?" Mike questioned which earned him a shove from his sister.
"(Y/N) thank you for picking me up from school and taking care of my dumb brother." Abbey said being the only polite and rational one out of the pair.
I smiled and patted her short hair. "Anytime Abbey. Maybe we can have a small girls night sometime." I suggest which made her smile a bit.
"You'll only end up corrupting her." Mike said playing with the car keys in his hands.
"Mike." Abbey said making him look down at her with his brown eyes.
He rolled his eyes and shrugged a bit. "Thanks for looking after my sister…well see you never." He said taking his sister's hand and beginning to leave.
How rude. If he weren't cute I definitely would've thrown him again into the water fountain..wait..what am I even saying?! Forget this, I've lost about half an hour of work time because of doing the guy a favor.
I huff to myself watching Mike and Abbey leave the mall for good. I turn around and headed to my work but the moment I arrived, I spotted Tom coworker and my boss looking at me with a face that said it all.
"You're fired."
"Let's hear a round of applause for the birthday girl!"
The lights changed and was now shining across the stage with cheery music playing as background while kids cheered when the pizzerias mascots made an appearance.
The pizzerias staff began to clap along when they began to sing 'happy birthday ' to me. My entire class was invited to my party.
My uncle was the one who invited them over since he knew I didn't have that too many friends, and he wanted me to get in with the right crowd. He knew that I was in a group of kids who would often bully others, I did it so I wouldn't be alone or be the one getting bullied.
I definitely chose the wrong crowd back then, all because I didn't want to be lonely…
My aunt and uncle raised me as their own since I could remember. They treated me like their own kid since they could never have any. They liked to throw these types of parties and invite everyone they knew.
Both of them were always fond and always liked to help financially to one of my classmates, that one being Mike Schmidt. He was kinda of a shy kid, and wasn't that fond at making an appearance at a birthday party without a present to give.
My uncle and aunt didn't mind that he didn't have the money, they still convinced the small kid to come and have a good time. Mike didn't want to leave his very little sister behind so my aunt would be carrying her everywhere.
I watched with glee as my favorite animatronic made his way towards me. I got up on my seat and smiled wide as I watched Bonnie come in with a colorful and big cake in his hands. One of the staff from the place approached and grabbed the cake placing in front of me, the cake seemed delicious with it's different colored candles.
I hugged onto my stuffed Bonnie plush as I wrapped one arm around the animatronic and felt one of its large paws patting my head.
I stared at the worn down building ahead of me as my hands were kept on my bike. 'Freddy's Pizzeria' read a sign just outside. The guy in charge must be inside or late to our meeting, as soon as they fired me from my job at the mall was when I decided to call this place up.
I'm a night owl after all so this'll be a piece of cake. All I gotta see is how much is the paycheck and I'll make sure to be the best security guard.
Maybe I'll be the only one around and have a nice time inside, remember those fond memories of the times I would come to this place and love following around the animatronics.
I knocked on the door a couple of more times waiting until someone would show up. The door slowly opened and I came face to face with an older looking man with large glasses.
"You're (Y/N) (L/N), correct?"
"Yes, sir. It's nice to finally meet you in person." I smiled trying to be as nice as I can.
"Pleasure is all mine…Please come inside." He said when he spotted the weather was beginning to change.
It was getting a bit chilly and the clouds were turning grey, about to rain a bit probably later. "You got here rather early."
"Yeah. The most important thing about a job is getting early." I chuckle beginning to follow the man not that far behind, but still remaining close to the entrance. "I do live a bit far from here but it's no trouble."
The man stopped and turned to face me. "You own a car?" He questioned and I knew I would be screwed if I said No.
"W-Well I don't..but I'm willing to come out here at any hour."
As soon as he was about to say something else, another knock was heard from the other side of the door. The man gave me a quick look and walked past me to open the door once again, I was surprised when I saw I wasn't the only one here.
Mike Schmidt had also applied for the job…
"No fucking way." Both Mike and I said looking at each other and wanting to strangle each other.

What do you think is happening with the wad recording? What I mean is, obviously Dan’s still working on it and I trust he's doing everything he can, but do you think it will have the same vibe as when it was performed during the tour? Since it's been so long. And do you think, if he doesn't for some reason manage to record it, does he have some kind of backup recording from the tour, be it from one camera, but at least with a passable audio? You know way more about this than I do, sorry if this is not how these things work actually 👀
oi, i don't know anything but i have theories. my roman empire.
i don't think it's gonna be released as wad dvd (not anymore, lol). i still call it dvd because it's easier. it can be put on a streaming platform. he didn't record the whole show during his tour but he has recordings of some shows (segments of some shows) that were used for promo. and i'm sure there is more footage than we have already seen. i think it's a good backup that could be used if other plans went to shit. did they go to shit though?
at the end of October i was told that Inter Talent was reaching out to companies trying to sell wad movie rights, basically (hello, op if you're still here). and then in November Dan told us that, "the oven has almost reached temperature" and i would assume they finally sold the rights. to what exactly? i have no idea. a one-man show? has something to do with the place and the festival we shouldn't name? BBC is involved again? if he actually performed wad show in front of some audience we would have known, i assume. so it leaves me with a theory about the "gay and not proud" format that was surely adapted to wad as much as possible. Bo Burnham: Inside (Daniel Howell edition), idk. or another theory - a mix of the footage they have (the promo one) and Dan "performing" on stage alone. no idea how they would make it look natural but they could try.
in both October and November people called the product a movie and a film. it also makes me think that there's gonna be either bts or actual acting in the final product, instead of just what we saw live. so, not the same vibe for sure.
also, since there were adjustments to the script for almost every live show he probably had to make changes for dvd as well. and also he had enough feedback to modify some jokes. this whole delay of wad dvd is a blessing and curse, honestly. he had a chance to perfect it, and i hope he did.
p.s. if he is only about to perform it in front of an audience for filming purposes, and he was selling only the movie idea to get funds, i'm gonna cry. but it would be funny.
#companies guess: channel 4. bbc. netflix is very unlikely so as youtube. i hope it's not amazon would be ironic.#nebula as people suggested. but he will have to do something for them soon if that's the case#he already did something for channel 4 and bbc#answered#wad dvd#stepja

Baby Come Home;;
A/N: I have NOT seen GOTG Vol. 3 and probably won't until they release it on dvd unfortunately! I don't have the time to go and see it in theaters so please do not put any spoilers in the comments or tags! I am very much in love with Peter Quill though and have been since I saw gotg vol. 1 when I was like- 11 lmao. BUT ANYWAYS- here is this little thing and I hope that you guys enjoy it. I will be including a marvel character list in my master list for those who want to send in requests. I probably won't do a lot of characters for marvel though since I am still pretty hit or miss with the fandom! This was going to be solely fluff, but then I got carried away...
Pairing: Peter Quill x Trans Masc!Reader
Warnings: Blowjob, piv sex, reader uses he/him pronouns, minors dni!! If I need to add more please let me know. This is also NOT proofread, so beware lmao
Peter Jason Quill. A man of mystery, wonder, and most of all. The man of your dreams. That's at least what he tells everyone when he mentions you.
You'd dent it whenever he'd bring it up. Claiming that he wasn't that important to you. He was a want, not a need!
Yet, as the days passed on. He was beginning to become a necessity in your life. Everything from his dorky grin, to his sarcastic sense of humor. He was your boyfriend. Your Star Lord.
As the days went on, it seemed like he spent less time with you. You were venturing with him and the other guardians for so long. But things got dirty with Rowan, and Peter was scared he'd lose you. Afraid that some space villain could use you to their advantage. A hostage situation that Peter couldn't bare to even think of.
"I want to help," you told him, but he only smiled. Reaching up to brush some hair from your eyes.
"Baby, you can help by holding the fort down. You're safer here," "I can take care of myself, Quill," you spat, and he chuckled at your spitfire attitude. "I know you can, why do you think I like you?" He teased and you rolled your eyes. Crossing your arms across your chest. "I need something to look forward to when I get home," he cooed, holding your hips while swaying the both of you lightly. Pulling your body against his while his head leant closer to yours.
A giggle did happen to escape your lips. Leaning up to press a kiss to his nose. A snicker leaving his mouth at your action. His grip tightening a bit as you reached out to wrap your arms around his shoulders. "All right, but my Star Lord better be quick. I might have to find someone else to bug if he takes too long." You spoke with a small pout, and he sighed. "Well, your Star Lord doesn't like the sound of that. He'll be home as quick as I can," He cooed, leaning forward to press a loving kiss to your lips. He was mesmerizing.
He took forever to come home it seemed. The first few nights were fine. You could handle a few days by yourself, but on the fourth night? That's when it started to feel weird. To feel as if something was missing from the comfort of your bed.
Someone.
Peter wasn't the quietest sleeper, but he was a distraction from your thoughts. You were able to lay on his chest and focus on his heart beat and deep breaths. Or the sound of his faint snoring. Even the sound of him talking in his sleep here or there. He was truly a mouth even in his sleep.
You found yourself curled up on your shared bed many of the nights. Lying on your side while humming the songs that he would play or sing for you. Even going as far as listening to the CD's on the CD player that he happened to find. Falling asleep to the songs that he would often hum around your home. It was comforting and felt like maybe he was there.
Peter on the other hand felt more lost than ever. He found himself looking over his shoulder for you. Thinking of a topic of interest or question to ask you and blurting out the beginning of the sentence before he finally realized that you weren't there with him. Getting a weird glance from his crew mates.
When he was finally on his way home he couldn't move any faster.
He was racing back to your shared home faster than any man had ever raced. Rocket had even dropped a few comments about it. Something about how you had him wrapped around your finger. Or something else, he wasn't quite sure. He could care less to listen to what the talking raccoon had to say.
When Peter got to the house it was empty. The door was locked, and the lights were off. His face fell as he stepped into the dimly lit home. His key for your home in hand. Shutting the door with a click of a button. His eyes scanning for any sign of where you could be. He needed nothing more than to pull you in for a hug. To lay down with you and never let you go again.
"Baby?" He called out, dropping his coat and bag on the nearest chair. His hand holding over his blaster when he heard movement in your bedroom. "Hey, you in there?" He asked, furrowing his brows before pushing the door open with the tip of his boot.
His shoulders relaxed when he saw you standing in the center of the room. Facing the door with wide eyes. The glow of the city lights that bled through your bedroom window left a glow around you that made you look like some celestial life form to Peter.
"Hey," He repeated, the both of you staring for a moment or two again before you jumped into his arms. Peter leaning back to lift you off the floor a little. Then dropping you back to your feet. Arms wrapped tight around your waist.
"I didn't think you'd ever come back," You spoke dramatically, and Peter snorted. "Me? I always come back. How could I leave someone as hot as you waiting?" He teased, and you rolled your eyes. Pressing your hands to his chest while looking to the side. "Nevermind, maybe you could have stayed away another week," you sneered. Which of course, Peter just laughed. Leaning down to press a kiss to your cheek.
"Hm, I could have, but what can I say? I like torturing you." He sighed, leaning his forehead against the side of your head. "I see you're wearing my shirt anyways?" He spoke with slight question. Reaching down to tug at the fabric that hung off your body. It fit you nicely, in his opinion. Something about seeing you in his clothes just did something to him. It always did.
"Shut up before I regret giving you my house key," you snarled, looking you at your lover. A mistake that you'd surly make again.
He was staring at you with such a mix of adoration and mischief. Grinning while running his hands on your sides. "Quill," you warned, but he didn't listen. You knew he wouldn't, either.
His lips were pressed on yours in seconds. Holding you in place with a firm grip. You were thankful. Sure that if his hands weren't holding you up, you would have melted to the floor. Every kiss from him felt better and more intoxicating than the last.
A soft laugh escaped past his lips. The noise bleeding into your own mouth. "What?" You asked between kissed, and he only shook his head. "Just thinking about how much I fucking missed you, is all." He sighed, leading you over to the bed before peeling his uniform off. Tossing everything on the ground. If it weren't for you, your home would be a mess with how he littered all his belongings everywhere he went.
"Miss me that much?" You asked. Your eyes wandering your lovers body as he stripped down to nothing but his boxers. Climbing into bed beside you. "Oh, you don't even know. Got so bad Drax was telling me to shut up about you," He snickered, kissing the side of your face while pulling you closer.
It wasn't until he mentioned Drax that you remembered why he was away for so long. Why you had to stay back and 'hold the fort down,' as he said weeks prior.
"Is everyone okay?" You asked, and he furrowed his brows. Nodding his head while pulling you just a little closer. "Yeah, of course they are." He assured. "We're the Guardians of The Galaxy, Baby. We ain't goin' no where." You could only roll your eyes at his words. Reaching out to drape your arms around him while rolling onto his chest.
"I'm glad you're safe," you muttered against his skin. You weren't even looking at him and you could already see the giant smile on his face. "Yeah, I'm glad you are too." He hummed, reaching out to rub the side of your face. Guiding your head up in order to look at him.
He stared at you for a while. His eyes swimming in yours. Finally parting from your gaze to look over the rest of your features. His thumb swiping over your cheek, then your lips. "God, I missed you," he whined, pulling you in for another kiss. Just this one felt needier than the last. Curiosity surging through you on what spurred this on. Did something happen while he was away? Or did he just miss you that much? Then again, it was Peter. He was always pulling you in for kisses that almost always turned into more than just a kiss. The man was far from innocent, even if he liked acting that way at times.
He rolled you on to your back. His hands sprawled on your sides before they rubbed down to cup your ass. A cocksure grin pulling the corners of his lips tight. "You're such a perv," you hissed against his lips, but he only laughed. His lips trailing from yours, down to your neck. Kissing and sucking. Making sure that there were marks the both of you could see in the morning.
"How much did you miss me?" He asked you with a brow raised. Kissing down your chest. His shirt being the only thing that kept his skin from yours. "Come on, humor me," He pleaded with a grin. "I missed you," "Yeah, but how much?" He asked again, smiling a bit more when you rolled your eyes. "A lot." He snickered, hands running under the shirt to grope at your skin. "Good boy," he teased with a smirk. You wished you could melt away with all his playful remarks. Hide and never be seen again, but you knew if anyone would take care of you. It'd be Peter.
"Have I ever told you how handsome you are?" He asked, tugging the shirt up your body. You moved to help him pull it off of you. Leaving your upped half bare. Which left Peter with ample room to mark and oggle.
"All the time," you responded with a blush. It seemed like one of his favorite things to do was compliment you. Shower you with praise and remind you how loved you really were. Even if you didn't have anyone else. You always had him, and he was sure to let you know that any chance that he got.
He bit the side of your stomach. Your body jolting at the sensation of the pinch of his teeth. "Quill!" You snapped, and he giggled. "M'bad," He slurred, his fingers hooking in the hem of your pants. Dancing up through his eyelashes. "May I?" He asked, and you sighed.
You nearly said 'yes', but a smirk of your own fell on your face. Pursing your lips to stifle a laugh. "No," you spoke in a teasing tone. Curious how he would act to your attitude tonight. "Come on," He whined. Laying his chin on your stomach. "What's a guy gotta do to get in his boyfriends pants?" He pouted. His agony only making you snicker.
"How much did you miss me?" You asked this time. Quill knew what game you were playing. Truthfully, he was all for it, too.
"More than you can ever imagine. I'd like to show you, too," He hummed, staring up at you with such a dreamy gaze. He always looked at you like this. As if you hung the stars and the moons that circled the system. You were more of a God than any God he ever heard of. If he could worship you more than he already did, he would.
"What if I show you?" You quipped, his brows raising with curiosity. "I'm all ears, handsome."
You took your time. Shifting your body while motioning him to lay on his back. Peter couldn't move fast enough. It had only been about three weeks away from you, but he was so pent up already. Aching for any touch you had to offer him. He could eat you up if you'd let him. Be embraced in nothing but you.
Once he was on his back, and you were onto of him. He was more antsy than when he was in control of the situation at hand. His body squirming beneath you while his hands fought to find a place to settle. Your hips, thighs, beside him on the bed, he couldn't decide.
His hips thrusted up when you reached down to palm his erection. His face scrunching up with a mix of pain and pleasure. "Shit," You only laughed at how needy he was. Taking note of how red his face turned when you did. "Missed me a lot, huh?" You teased. "Hey, what can I say? My hand doesn't do the trick when I got you at home," He shot back with a grin. He was something else.
You slid down his body. Hands trailing down his chest, stomach, and then hooking on the waist band of his boxers. Kissing the skin that your hands trailed over. Even planting a kiss on the tip of his clothed erection. Peter let out a groan at that. His head falling back while his chest began to heave. He was already such a mess, and you had barely begun.
Peter let out a grunt when you tugged his boxers down. Lulling him to lift his hips so it would be easier to move them down. "This how much you missed me?" He asked, a moan slipping out at the end of his sentence when your hand ran over the tip of his dick. "You have told me before that I'm better with my actions over words," you half answered the question. Leaning down to lick up his shaft before he could even get another snarky word out of that damn mouth of his.
"Oh dear Lord," He sighed, his hand coming to tangle in your hair while you took him into your mouth. "You're like my own personal angel, I swear," He rambled. Something he often did when you sucked him off.
When his hands tugged a little harsher at your hair, and his hips began trying to thrust up into your throat. You knew he was close, but you didn't let him finish. Pulling off of him with a 'pop' that left Peter whining out in annoyance. "I was so close," he stammered. You already knew that, and he knew that you knew.
When you began climbing over his body he was quick to straighten up. His eyes now focused on yours. Watching you intently as your face grew closer to his. "I love you, Star Lord," he smiled, a soft gaze in his eyes that quickly grew mischievous. "And I love you, Baby," he lulled, gripping your hips before positioning you over his tip. "Shall we?" He asked, watching as you smiled while rolling your eyes. Only answering with your actions rather than your words.
You leant down to lock his lips with yours. Sinking onto him at a lenient pace. "God I missed this," you both sighed into the dark room. You both had missed this, but you also just missed each other. This just happened to be the closest way you could both get to each other.
His hands gripped at your sides. A grunt rumbling from his chest when you moved. "I'm not gonna last long," He breathed out, his eyes already growing heavy. His breath rugged and hips struggling to be still.
"All right, then make it quick and good, Peter," you complied. Rolling your hips while motioning your head to the side. Peter taking the hint to grab and flip you onto your back. The fight to be still was gone. Now he had permission to move as fast as he wanted.
His thrusts started out long and hard, but he was quick to speed up to a pace that had you both making noises. Moans, grunts, pants, cries. All of the above could be heard from your home. Echoing and bouncing through the walls while Peter bounced you on his dick.
"Pete," you called out, and he was there in an instant. Leaning down to lock his lips with your own while one hand came in between both of your bodies. Rubbing your clit while he fucked you just right.
For saying he wasn't going to last long. He wound up lasting longer than either of you thought he would. Able to bring you up to your orgasm before he pulled out and came on your stomach. A mess that he would clean up for you. Just like his trinkets and clothes that he scattered around your home. That was something he would save for later. Right now he was exhausted. Worn out from mind blowing sex, and his long journey where he hardly got any rest.
"Are you able to stay for a while?" You asked, your chest rising and falling with each deep breath that you took. "Yeah, probably a week or two before Rocket decides he wants to steal something shiny," He muttered against your shoulder. Pressing a chaste kiss to the skin. "Good. I have more planned for us than just sleeping together," you tittered, and he smiled. "I wouldn't want anything less, sugar."

V: video 👀
--I missed this from a prompt game, and now I can't find the prompt list, so it is hereby bequeathed the status of a Peculiar Prompt--
It Happened in a Blockbuster (as was the style at the time)
Y2K was probably all made up, Draco figured as he passed the news stand. The cover stories were nonsense about computers, and those, as far as he could tell, were actually magical.
But it was nothing to worry about. Or that's what Pansy had said when he mentioned it a few months ago. In October? No, September. Had it been that long?
The bell above the video store door jingled as he entered. He'd half-expected it to be closed at 8 PM on New Year's Eve.
After he slid his DVD returns through the slot, he took a deep breath. It always smelled the same. Something like socks, rubber, and artificial butter. The decor was bold blue and yellow, or had been before a decade's sun and slush, and maybe under the shelves, the carpet was still bright.
The clerk gave him a passing wave and went back to his magazine. His name was Terry, but Draco had never addressed him as such, because learning someone's name via their nametag felt illicit. He wouldn't call him by his name unless they'd properly introduced themselves, which they hadn't. And probably wouldn't.
Draco went days at a time without speaking to anyone. Not because he wanted to, it was just that there was rarely someone to talk to.
New releases first, right by the door, but Draco had already watched them. To the right, the children's movies with their covers like sweets boxes. To the left, in tidy alphabetical order, were films that had been in the store for between one and three months, precisely, and then they'd be shelved forevermore by genre and title.
Documentaries were what he rented most, but they weren't his favorite. They were good for when he wanted to feel as though he were sitting in companionable silence with someone. Action films were best for when his thoughts were too loud and needed to be drowned out by car chases and explosions. Romance movies were his favorite, but he was rarely in a state to watch them.
He'd never climb Mt Everest like in a documentary, or take down a rival car thief gang, but love? Unfortunately, love was something he could have, and the fact that he didn't was too much to sit with.
The wedding invitations started coming in like junk mail last year. Draco had tossed them all in his building's dumpster. Not many people had noticed his missing RSVPs.
He didn't need to witness romance in a church or on a television screen. Not if he could help it.
And especially on New Year's Eve. Alone.
He hadn't planned on becoming a film junkie. And maybe he wasn't really. He rarely remembered an actor or producer's name. He couldn't say what was a "bad" film versus a "good" one. Everything he knew about films was subjective. He liked blonde leads, either all romance or no romance, because a romance taking second booking to an action plot was an insult to both.
But having watched most of the local Blockbuster's stock hadn't been in his post-war plans. Well, assuming he'd had post-war plans. Which he didn't. Everyone else did, and they'd gone out and done them.
He thumbed through copies of Muppets from Space to see if one might be an extended edition. It wasn't.
A shorter man took down a copy of Never Been Kissed and turned it over in his hands. Drew Barrymore was one of Draco's least favorite lead actresses, so the fact that she mainly did romantic comedies was just fine by him. If he ever had to sit though her narrating a documentary, he'd-
"Malfoy?" Harry Potter was standing there, holding Drew Barrymore in his hands. "Hey, cool. I didn't know you lived around here."
He reached out to vaguely shake Draco's hand, skirted it into an almost-high five, then smoothed his hair back.
It was surreal seeing him somewhere like this. Arguably a bigger celebrity than anyone on that movie box, but Muggles didn't know. It was no big deal when he ran into Neville in the grocery store, or Granger at the bank. They weren't Harry Potter.
"Yeah," was all Draco said. "On Wilson Ave."
"Okay, well," Harry said, "Um, see you around?"
He waved the movie box as he turned to leave, but only made it a few paces before he stopped.
Draco quirked an eyebrow in question.
Harry bit the inside of his lip, then eventually said, "People talk about you." Before Draco could react, Harry shook his head, then added, "Not like, in a bad way. Like, we check in on you."
Draco's brow furrowed. "What?"
"It just comes up sometimes, you know? Has anyone seen Malfoy lately? How's he doing? What's he up to? You know, just stuff like that."
"Oh," Draco said.
"I just..." Harry smoothed his hair back with the movie box. "I just thought you might like knowing, you know?"
"Oh."
Draco looked down at the geometric patterns in the faded carpet. Did it matter that his classmates kept tabs on him? Like a surveillance web. Some kind of watchful net.
It made a certain warmth spread through his chest, because it did matter.
"Thanks," he said, swallowing thickly. He nodded towards Harry's hand. "That's probably an awful film. You'll have to believe in the kissability of Drew Barrymore."
Harry pulled a face and put it back on the shelf. "Dodged a bullet. Want to help me pick something else out? I'm not in a hurry."
Draco's lips cracked a smile. "Sure."
--
Three days later, he returned Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me, and took copies of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, GoldenEye, License to Kill,and Romeo + Juliet up to the desk.
"Hi, Terry," he said.
Terry rolled his eyes and scanned Draco's Blockbuster card. "You've got a late fee of... " he squinted at the computer monitor. "Two hundred thousand, five hundred, and thirty-seven pounds?"
Draco gasped. That Y2K nonsense really had turned all the computers evil.

Hiroaki Hirata, Masakazu Morita, Masayuki Ozaki UStream Special Digest Interview Part 2 (Tiger & Bunny The Beginning)
Part 1 can be found here
The below is transcribed from the DVD release.
Hirata: What's the story about?
Ozaki: That's so sudden.
Morita: It's a secret?
Hirata: Who's the criminal?
Morita: Ignoring the special report all together.
Ozaki: "The Beginning."
Hirata: It's not about a criminal, is it?
Ozaki: It's about the beginning.
Hirata: What does he mean by it?
Morita: The beginning is the start?
Hirata: The start?
Ozaki: It has many different meanings. It's the start of Tiger & Bunny story. And it's the beginning of the relationship between Kotetsu and Barnaby. It's a beginning in many different ways.
Hirata: So it's their relationship at the beginning of the TV series…
Morita: Yeah. So back to the four different Barnabys…
Ozaki: Please use them.
Morita: I just managed to combine them into one…
Hirata: you finally combined them?
Morita: Yeah, I finally combined them. I need to split him back into four parts.
Hirata: It's a movie, so four might not be enough. You might need eight.
Morita: Eight? In that case, that would apply to Kotetsu too.
Hirata: Well then how about my old suit version? Does that appear?
Ozaki: I need a Kotetsu that you have never played before - a new version of Kotetsu.
Hirata: Then I'll go from two versions to three versions.
Morita: No, no no, it should be at least six.
Hirta: No way.
Ozaki: The face he shows Kaede, the face he shows to others, and the face he shows his wife…
Morita: That's deep.
Ozaki: This is something we've probably never shown… Something the fans have never seen…
Hirata: I was actually hoping for something like that. His wife, huh?
Morita: That was a pretty big piece of information.
Ozaki: We can talk about this, right?
Morita: Get your act together, Ozaki-san!
Ozaki: I got together with Nishida-san, the writer of the script, and we discussed what kind of story we watned to make for this movie.
Hirata: Sorry to sound impatient, but are these new events setting up a part two or something?
Ozaki: Part two… Umm…
Hirata: You really can't reveal it?
Ozaki: Umm…
Hirata: So you can't say whether or not it'll lead into anything?
Ozaki: Something like that. Umm…
Hirata: What was that?
Ozaki: It's probably going to be about something that you two, as well as the fans, would want to see.
Hirata: What do you want to see the most?
Morita: I kind of want to know what Ouroboros is.
Hirata: Ah…
Ozaki: Well, what about you?
Hirata: Me? The thing I want to see the most is… I want to know who gave Kaede the power to attract metal objects.
Ozaki: Shall I septn two hours showing how that happened?
Hirata: You don't need to spend two hours. I'd just like you to touch on that if you have the time.
Morita: Even while we were recording, we were wondering who she touched.
Hirata: What old man or woman in the middle of the countryside has that magnetic power? I've been…
Morita: We want to know!
Hirata: Yeah, we want to.
Ozaki: What do you think of this? (holds up palms)
Morita: He's sweating!
Hirata: The fans who are watching this are probably remembering that part.
Ozaki: Part 1 and Part 2 aren't connected. They're individual stories. Part 1 doesn't end with a cliffhanger and go on to Part 2.
Morita: I see.
Ozaki: People sure were excited in Hong Kong.
Morita: He did it!
Hirata: You dodge the topic.
Morita: He sure did.
Hirata: So how was it?
Morita: I went to a big event called C3 in Hong Kong… Tiger & Bunny is ridiculously popular.
Hirata: Hold on a second. The event was two days long or something, right?
Morita: It was three days long. I attended two days.
Hirata: How many people were there?
Morita: It was pretty big.
Ozaki: There were several hundred chairs, but there were standing sections as well. There were about 123,000 attendees over the three days. It was a pretty huge event.
Hirata: 120,000 people?
Ozaki: Over three days.
Hirata: 120,000 people by word of mouth?
Morita: Yeah.
Hirata: That's amazing.
Ozaki: The Tiger & Bunny talk show with Morita-san and myself attracted several hundred people. You couldn't fit a thousand people in that area.
Morita: It was too small for a thousand people.
Ozaki: But it was totally packed.
Morita: Yeah, it was.
Ozaki: I was a bit worried about doing this in Hong
Kong. I didn't know if they knew about the show.
Hirata: Right…
Ozaki: So until the day of the event, I was worried about whether people would come. How about you?
Morita: There were a lot of cosplayers.
Ozaki: Yeah, there were.
Morita: There was a Kotetsu, Sky High, and Bunny in their hero suits.
Hirata: Who makes those?
Morita: They were so well made!
Ozaki: They're handmade.
Morita: It's amazing. And we even got to talk about important things.
Ozaki: Yeah.
Hirata: What did you talk about?
Morita: This movie is going to be released in Hong Kong at the same time as Japan.
Ozaki: Yes.
Hirata: All at once?
Morita: They're going to get to see it on the same day as people in Japan. There's only an hour time difference.
Ozaki: That's right. It's about the same.
Morita: The same day.
Hirata: That's amazing.
Morita: They can see it.
Hirata: So you need to air the show before the release, then.
Morita: Ozaki-san is really amazing for setting this all up. It's set to air too.
Ozaki: Yeah.
Morita: Are they going to air it over there with the original audio?
Ozaki: No, they're going to dub it. They're probably going to make it Cantonese. Yeah, they're going to dub it.
Hirata: How are they going to translate my scream? I don't think it'll translate into Cantonese.
Morita: I wonder what it'll be…
Ozaki: I wonder. We were taught some Cantonese phrases. I already forgot what they were.
Morita: You forgot them?
Ozaki: Anyway, there's a Hong Kong dub in the works, and casting for the English version as well.
Hirata: Yeah?
Ozaki: Yes.
Hirata: What would my scream be in English?
Morita: What would it be? Wouldn't it just be the same?
Ozaki: It might be.
Morita: It's like a special attack.
Hirata: Yeah. "Wild" would just be "Wild" because it's English.
Ozaki: "Wild Roar"… Something like that.
Hirata: Wild Roar! It sounds like I'm really roaring.
Morita: It sure does.
Hirata: I look forward to it.
Morita: The previews might stay the same. They're in English, after all.
Hirata: The previews?
Morita: Barnaby goes, "Hi! Tiger and Bunny…" Is that all going to be in English?
Ozaki: Yes.
Morita: All in English?
Ozaki: Yes.
Morita: Why don't we just do it in Japanese? Make it reversed.
Ozaki: Well, Kotetsu doesn't speak good English. We're going to figure out how we can express that in English dub.
Morita: Ozaki-san will spill the beans one day.
Hirata: Please look out for his tweets.
Morita: The show is becoming global.
Ozaki: Yes. We're not just releasing it simultaneously in Hong Kong, but Taiwan and Singapore as well.
Hirata & Morita: Wow…
Ozaki: We're trying to do that with other countries as well.
Hirata: how many countries do you plan to do this with?
Ozaki: In the end, probably more than ten countries.
Hirata: Wow…
Morita: Amazing…
Ozaki: The movie is coming out in September. The staff working on it doesn't have any time to sleep.
Morita: They're already working on it?
Ozaki: Yes, they are. We've already gotten the storyboard. Now that we have that, we're working on animating it. We're just getting started. We're working really hard.
Hirata: I think I should beging practicing saying, "I'm going to let out a wild roar."
Morita: Yeah.
Hirata: I need to practice.
Morita: Yaeh.
Hirata: Maybe they don't use that line in the movie.
Morita: I'm going to practice saying "See you!"
Hirata: That's for the previews.
Ozaki: Please look forward to it.
Morita: Yeah. It would be nice if we could do another event.
Ozaki: Sounds good.
Morita: He's getting nervous.
Ozaki: It really sounds good. We'll see how that goes.
Morita: I think I understand now. When you're in the hot seat, you start fidgeting. Your eyes start drifting.

Sometimes I just like to make posts like this because as much as I've spent years fleshing William out in my story, he wouldn't have even existed if Harrison didn't take this role in The Age of Adaline.
2015 was a big year for Harrison -- The Force Awakens brought him back to the Star Wars universe as everybody's favorite space smuggler: Han Solo. Nobody even cared about The Age of Adaline -- but I did, lmao.
I actually forget which order they came out in. They both were released in 2015, but Harrison had that major plane crash and then he also got injured on the set of The Force Awakens when the door to the Millennium Falcon fell down on top of him. He was able to do all the promotions for The Force Awakens, but he didn't do any for The Age of Adaline. He was pretty banged up -- I don't remember which injuries went where, but I think he broke his leg and he shattered his pelvis and God only knows what else.
At least there's the making of The Age of Adaline on the Blu-ray / DVD so it was nice to see him talking about the movie while he was in his "William Jones" clothes and goatee and all, but I did miss him going on Late Night (especially stopping by Conan -- I LOVE Conan).
Anyway, I really enjoyed his role in the movie. He was only in the 3rd act of the movie and I didn't expect very much -- but there was this one scene in the beginning of his scenes that struck me in some kind of way (not the first time it's happened -- this man been striking me down for years now no bullshit), and then a few scenes later I was sitting in my movie seat completely… taken. Something about something he did -- this 'one' thing he did in the middle of this one scene that sent me spiraling down through all the films of his I've seen and I was like wow… HARRISON REALLY BE OUT THERE KNOCKIN' A BITCH DEAD… how dare he do this?!
Seriously this one moment he gave me this like, I don't even know -- he gave me this Indiana Jones vibe from my most favorite Indy movie (Temple of Doom) and then he shot me straight to Dr. Richard Kimble (in The Fugitive) and I was like… he bullshittin'. He ain't real right now.
My mom was sitting next to me at the movies (I no longer can drag the few friends I have to go see a movie with Harrison in it… so I drag my mother. I honestly do. And she goes to all of them since 2011… AGAINST her will. Harrison ain't shit to her -- but she's mad about Daniel Craig… which worked out great because in 2011 Harrison and Daniel did Cowboys & Aliens -- but ANYWAY… lmao moving on)… like as neutral as can be while I was breathing hard -- very hard.
I can't remember, but I try to think sometimes if I started making William before I had a chance to get the blu-ray and take screencaps (I always look at photos when I'm trying to create my favorite characters from things)… but I think I might of, he just needed a lot of work in the earlier days.
But yeah -- there's not much to William in the movie, but he really struck me in a certain way and then of course I didn't think my Age of Sims story would go this far, but it has. I try to pace it so that I can write a much as I can for it. I named this blog the way I did because of the movie/William as well -- but anyway. I guess until I make another random ass post about HF/his characters in some capacity! lmao.

Channing Tatum’s “Dog” might possibly be the worst movie i’ve seen in a long time
The worst military film at least.
In this movie, a traumatized military dog attacks a random bystander wearing traditional Middle Eastern garb and both it and the owner are released from prison with no charges because “it’s what she was trained to do” and the victim ACTUALLY SAYS he “wouldn’t dream of suing a veteran”
In Portland, Oregon, our man Tatum is accosted by Bluehair Pronouns who make fun of him for being a VET and a STRAIGHT WHITE MALE in the most boomer-Facebook-meme dialogue imaginable.
His estranged wife appears in one scene where she has no spoken dialogue but welcomes him back because he has a dog now, after the implication that he did something horrible while suffering from his TBI.
The dog’s service binder includes a DVD of her “Greatest Hits”, literally a highlights reel of her attack and mauling targets from her bodycamera, and this is portrayed as a completely normal thing to have and watch regularly, and the guy who thinks its gross is just a cuck who hates the troops.
I am truly astonished that this is both a real movie and that it stars people that I’ve heard of and actually like.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am (November 5, 2007)
November 5, 2007 saw the release of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am: a real-life video game based on television’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force. A golfing game with a few non-golfing interludes, such as fighting off familiar monsters on each course and some golf-cart racing. You interact with all kinds of characters from the show; a MONSTERS ROW if you will.
Reviews for the game itself are pretty poor, and I can’t really speak to that because I didn’t actually play this game. I watched a compilation of cut scenes and some game play footage. The cut scene compilation excludes some other material, namely the color commentary bits that play as each course loads. There’s a straight-laced “Commentator Guy” and the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. Cybernetic Ghost’s lines are really funny. There’s also some mechanic where you collect footage that you can view from the menu screen but I didn’t successfully find it in any of the youtube videos I watched. I didn’t really look that hard, to be fair. And there was no way I was going to watch a 4-hour play through of this game.
The cut scenes roughly make up almost two episodes worth of content, and they are rendered in a mildly-off-putting computer-animated style, similar to the Drinky Crow show. It’s not ideal, but it suits the game fine, honestly.
And… that’s basically it. I’ll be honest, I was looking for some kind of wonderful reward for watching these cut scenes; like a truly notable nugget or surprise. Like, a Space Ghost cameo would’ve been neat, or something like that. There were mildly interesting things, like the fact that Patton Oswalt seems to have returned to reprise his Frat Alien characters (their initial appearance sounds like they just repurposed old show audio, but unique dialogue began springing up). I could be missing a few things from not sitting through game-play footage, as there are characters who show up during game-play that don’t show up during the cut scenes. But man, am I glad that I didn’t buy this game back in 2007. Mostly because I wouldn't have anything to play it on.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace #1: “Once upon a Beginning” (November 9, 2007 - 11:00PM)
In an earlier review of Saul of the Mole Men, I touched on the concept of the “fake show”. This would definitely qualify. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace is an artificial rerun; a seemingly repackaged old series with new interview segments featuring the cast as well as it’s star and main creative driving force Garth Marenghi. Marenghi is a popular and prolific Stephen King styled author who briefly dabbled in television Despite the self-agrandizing claims that the show was too shocking or ahead of it’s time for 1980s television, what we see is actually quite shoddy and poor, laughably so. Sorta like a comic parody of a schlocky B-movie, presented by straight-faced actors who are, in turn, portrayed by very funny British people. Matthew Holness plays Garth Marenghi who plays Dr. Rick Dagless. His pal and series co-creator Richard Ayoade plays Dean Learner, who plays Thornton Reed. Dean Learner is Garth’s publisher in fake-real life, and is a particularly terrible actor on the series. Dean Learner actually got his own spin-off fake talk show, which I’ve never seen. Is it good?
There’s also Matt Berry, one of my favorite guys. This was my introduction to him. I mean, this was my introduction to all of these people. Even that broad. What's her deal anyway? Sorry for being sexist for knowing about the guys on the show and not the lady.
In 2009, Adult Swim would bring more British shows to the channel and attempt to launch a British comedy block. It didn’t last too long, but we got some great shows on American television at least. This one was pretty hard to come by at the time; I knew of people importing the region 2 DVD, and this was a godsend.

I feel like I spent the whole of October in a reading slump. This is 30% because I overdid the fantasy in September, 30% because I wanted dark, deep books but didn’t have the focus for the lush historical stuff I usually go for when I’m in that mood, and 50% because I started my month by reading Echoes and kept spooking myself so that book alone took two weeks.
My reading tastes/needs meant that nothing in my pile of ARCs appealed except for The Curse of the Marquis de Sade, and my library failed to deliver more than one of my New Release Holds, so I actually managed to get through a decent number of books from my physical TBR, which is nice. (Except that I have to find space for them on the normal bookshelves now.)
My desire for dark books also turned into an accidental Spooktober, with three books featuring ghosts, one with witches and goblins, two true crime, and a picture book about a witch. Most of the rest of my list was picked as palate cleansers. I think this is the first time I’ve been even semi-deliberately reading to match the season? It was a neat experience but I’m not sure it’s something I’m going to be sticking with. I can see Christmas-in-December or Romance-in-February getting old fast.
The library’s back on form for me though! I pick up three books and two DVDs tomorrow, so at least the first week or two of November are planned out for me. Though I really do need to do something about the ARCs…

8 Shows To Know Me
Thank you @maplefiasco for tagging me *months* ago 🙈 Do check her post for excellent shows recommendations!
If you see this post on your dash, please consider yourself (no-pressure) tagged, whether we’re in a follower, mutual or complete strangers situation :)
Coming up with "shows to know me" was more challenging that I thought? In the end I chose shows I have often rewatched and that never fail to cheer me up. In no particular order:
Remington Steele
This show is a delight and a half. For years growing up it was on channel 3 in France every summer, and every rewatch makes me feel like the happiest teenager. Expect RayBans and vintage cars, because this is 80s LA with an Old Hollywood, Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn inspiration. Unfortunately it's become impossible to find in Europe/France, and my entire family laments this fact on a monthly basis.
The Newsroom
If you get one thing out of this post, it’s to give The Newsroom a try. Not everyone loves Sorkin, in fact several of my friends hate this show, but I LOVE it. It’s chaotic. It’s fast. It’s idealistic. Everyone is a genius at their job and an idiot in their personal life. And the cast! Emily Mortimer, Jeff Daniels and Sam Waterston are superb! Olivia Munn and Thomas Sadoski are spectacular! Dev Patel and David Harbour are delightful! And the supporting cast - Jane Fonda! Chris Messina! Terry Crews! BJ Novak! Only this show would make me use so many adjectives and exclamation marks.
Hart of Dixie
This is my guilty pleasure, “won’t tell people about it because they’ll think I’m a basic bitch" show. It’s super cozy, the clothes are great, the dudes are hot, there’s a pet alligator called Burt Reynolds, the folksy-country soundtrack is fun, everyone is nice and walks around the WBros PLL and Gilmore Girls lot fake southern town with a pastry and home-baked pie in hand, and nothing really bad ever happens. Truly the happiest of basic bitch shows.
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel
I ignored Mrs Maisel for years because I’m not a big stand up or 50s style person, but it turned out to be one of the shows that’s made me laugh the most in the history of shows. It’s funny, it’s warm and it does more for Jewish humour than most pieces of media (The Nanny is the exception) since Annie Hall’s Easter lunch scene. I didn’t care much for s4 (style really took over content for me) and s5 is.. well I just don’t know how they explain a lot of those choices there. But man, s1-2 is something I would (and will) happily rewatch on a regular basis.
Friends
It’s not original, it's "90s diverse" but sue me. I’m old enough to have watched it with my siblings when it first came out (VHS, baby!) and it’ll never not feel cozy and fun. I won’t catch it on tv because ad breaks will reduce it to unfunny, memeable catchphrases, but every few years I’ll pop a couple of seasons in the dvd player (DVDs, baby!) and it’ll still make me laugh like it’s my first time watching it.
Arrested Development
Do I need to explain? Yes s4 was half good/half bad when it was released (and somehow made mostly bad when it was re-edited) and I pretend s5 doesn’t exist. But seasons 1-3 are the definition of perfect tv! And in case you didn’t know, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett host a podcast (along with Sean Hayes of Will and Grace) called Smartless; the episode with Tony Hale (Buster) as the guest had me in literal tears.
Chuck
There’s a scene where Chuck’s best friend Morgan says that he’s spent years devising a work system that allows him to do as little as possible at his job, and he’s not about to ruin that by accepting a promotion. My entire family quotes this on a regular basis. I have watched s1-3 at least half a dozen times and just typing that makes me want to watch it again. Love the music, the ridiculous spy adventures and the unhinged background characters. Also Chuck looks exactly like one of my high school best friends which makes it even funnier.
24
LOOK. I did not expect this show to take over my life the way it did, and tbh I don’t really have an 8th show that hits both “will rewatch this many times” and “makes me feel warm and happy”. So I went for the one that currently has 12 drafts sitting in my fic folder. It’s violent and ridiculous and is equally funny (see ridiculous) and angsty. It got me through the 2nd lockdown, on the edge of my seat while live texting all nearly ten seasons of it to friends. But watch s1-4 and tell me you’re normal about Tony x Michelle. I dare you.
#tumblr games#what almost made the list: alias/cougar town (it was my safe place for a few years! despite ccox’s botox)/the persuaders (the 70s show)

Huxley x Lasko Weedfic Part 2
Contains: weed, making out, Lord of the Rings, injury mention, silly bois in love
“Have you really never seen it before?” Lasko asks as he slides the disc into the DVD player. Behind him, Huxley shrugs.
“Maybe once, when it came out? But I don’t remember like, anything about it.”
“It’s my favorite,” Lasko says, for maybe the fourth time in the last hour. Huxley laughs gently and holds out his arms, making grabby hands.
“I know, babe. C’mere.”
Lasko flushes but grins, making his way around the coffee table to settle in Huxley’s lap and hug him tightly. He lets out a contented sigh before murmuring, “You’ll love it. A-at least I hope you will.” Huxley gives him a squeeze.
“I will. You love it, and I always like the movies and games you show me.”
Lasko smiles. He hasn’t really stopped smiling since Huxley arrived for their “Lord of the Rings Marathon Date.” He’s so excited to share this with him.
He stands up and takes a quick inventory: The Lord of the Rings trilogy box set, popcorn, an assortment of drinks, some still-warm cookies, a few bags of chips, a candy bar, a fresh blunt, a plush blanket, and a wonderful boyfriend.
He laughs to himself, and Huxley tilts his head with a curious smile.
“What’s up?”
“I’m just happy,” Lasko says. He grabs the remote and rejoins Huxley on the couch, beside him this time, handing him the blunt, which Huxley lights.
“Thank you, Lasko,” he says before taking a deep drag.
“Y-y-you’re welcome,” Lasko mumbles, cheeks warm as he watches Huxley smoke. Huxley takes a second hit, releasing it with a sigh, and watches Lasko watch him, amused.
“Want some?” The question is barely out before Lasko breathes a “yeah” and slides into his space. He wants the weed, yes, but not nearly as much as he wants Huxley.
They had long dropped the pretense of “just smoking,” skipping past leaving space between their lips and going directly to eager kisses whenever they shotgun. Huxley pushes the smoke into Lasko’s mouth, followed by his tongue, and Lasko moans and presses closer. He can never seem to get close enough.
After a few minutes of making out, during which Lasko had half climbed into Huxley’s lap, hands in his hair and shirt, Huxley pulls away, chuckling at Lasko’s whine.
“Why--”
“Don’t wanna miss the movie.” He flicks his gaze toward the television, where the start menu has been looping for a while. Lasko lets out a little “oh” and sits back, straightening his clothes and hair with a red face.
“I-I’m sorry. I got carried away and s-s-sort o-of forgot.” Huxley cups his chin, gently encouraging Lasko to meet his gaze.
“Hey,” he says softly. “You don’t have to be sorry, man. I love kissing you. But you planned all this out and I don’t want it to go to waste, you know? But if you’d rather make out, we can definitely do that. You know me. I’m fine with whatever you wanna do.”
“Yeah,” Lasko says quietly, reaching up to hold Huxley’s hand with a small smile. “Thank you, Hux. I-I do want to share this with you. It’s important to me, and you’re important to me, so, um. Yeah.” He laughs a little. Huxley smiles and presses a gentle kiss to his forehead.
“You’re important to me, too, dude. Now let’s watch! I wanna see all the cool effects you told me about.”
Huxley is maybe the only person on the planet who doesn’t know all the Lord of the Rings lore and trivia, which means Lasko is free to rattle it off to him whenever the opportunity arises. They make sure to pause the movie so they don’t miss anything, then Lasko explains about the scenes, the actors, the differences between the films and books, and answers any questions Huxley might have about how something was done or what something means.
“--and he actually broke his toe in this shot--”
“No way!”
They’re up until the early hours, flipping through the DVD extras and looking at memes, until eventually they turn everything off and retreat to the bedroom so they don’t wind up stiff from sleeping on the couch (again.)

Release: August 7, 1990
Lyrics:
I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind
When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You ask about my consience
And I offer you my soul
You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Songwriter: Jon Bon Jovi
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood and I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun
SongFacts:
Blaze of Glory is a song by Jon Bon Jovi from 1990. It is the title track of the album of the same name, which is also the soundtrack to the film Blaze of Glory - Blazing Glory. It is Jon Bon Jovi's most successful solo single; she achieved platinum certification in the United States and Australia. At the same time, Jon Bon Jovi received a Golden Globe Award for the song and was nominated for an Oscar. The song is also known for the guitar solo that Jeff Beck contributed as a guest musician.
Jon Bon Jovi met Emilio Estevez, the protagonist of the Neowestern Blaze of Glory. He wanted the Bon Jovi single 'Wanted Dead or Alive' from the 1986 album 'Slippery When Wet' as the title track for the soundtrack. The song served as inspiration for the sequel to 'Young Guns' for screenwriter John Fusco, among others. But the more Jon Bon Jovi thought about it, a song about his band's touring madness seemed inappropriate for a western. Instead he offered to write the theme song 'Blaze of Glory'. However, as he became more familiar with the script, he came up with more ideas, eventually completing the entire soundtrack for the film in just under two months.
Alongside the album's title track, the song was later featured as the only Jon Bon Jovi solo song on 'Bon Jovi Best of Cross Road' (1994). A live version is included on the DVD Live from London (1995), recorded there by the Bon Jovi cast, plus Hugh McDonald and Steven Van Zandt. It also appeared on Bon Jovi's 2010 album 'Greatest Hits', also as the only solo song.

Hi again! 🥰 Here's the second part of the gossip 😂😅
Ok so about the first movie I mentions the The Batman Vs Dracula (2005)... honestly it's probably not a scary movie at all😂 I just have a very vivid memory or watching it as a kid and being terrified of "scary" movies very since. It was on of those straight to DVD animated movies. There was to be an animated cartoon show called "The Batman" and I use to watch it ALL the time with the animated Justice Leagues. The movie was one of those like off set ones. Like you know how there was Tom and Jerry the show and then they had all the individual movies with separate plots that kinda ignore the other stuff! It was like that and since it was like a kids show movie they actually probably didn't show any violence at all I was just not a child who liked vampires😂 The actor who actually voices Batman in the show and movie is the same guy who narrated the Curious George show so that about how kid friendly it was😂 I mean it probably wasn't a bad movie it just scared me so bad and I've hated movies like it since🤣 it took me ages to watch like Vampire Diaries or like Grimm after😂
I'm gonna be honest too😂 I also only watch The Christian Bale Batman movie after starting Peaky Blinders and hearing Cillian was in it😂 Plus my dad already had it so I don't have to pay😂 It was actually a good movie though! I still need to see the other two in the series😂And it defiantly have to look up Anthropoid too maybe if you think it's good! English is my only language but if Cillian's in it I can probably just watch for him😂😂
And ohh yes! I'd defiantly recommend some of those other movies too! Most of them are Alfred Hitchcock movies and his stuff is good (or the thrillers are)! I was even thinking a while back if trying to include in of his works in a Peaky Story I was trying to right! Did you know the first film he directed came out in 1922 (Number 13) ! It's technically on the list of lost films but be still released a good number in the 20's and 30's😂 I wanted to get something where the reader is at the movies with Finn or Isiah and when they hear who the director is they won't stop making jokes about his last name😂
I'll defiantly have to take a look at "The Medic" when I can too! I'm honestly not super use to reading the real person stories, I usually stick to the totally fictional character, but I'll definitely have to give it a try if you think it's good! I think I've read some of the other stories on the lists though and I remember liking them a lot!! So I'll have to look into it!
I think I may end up leaning towards Bonnie or Michael for the comedy blood dialogue story, but I still want to write for Ollie, even if it is Platonic I feel like he's appreciated😂 He's basically to Alfie what Lizzie is to Tommy and we know how hard Tommy made it😅 I can imagine Alfie being even harder to work for sometimes when he's pissed (Even if I do love the man!)
And yes! Omg! Michael changed so much even after the first two seasons 🥲 I can both understand why it happens but also I really liked like S2 early S3 Mike who wasn't totally power hungry and trying to be a mini Tommy! Even though we see bar again once I always wonder what happens to his Foster Family, or at least his Mother and Brother! I think if there was an episode where Mike like ran into his little foster brother who's grown up now it could have been interesting! Like it could have been cool to see how that played out if his little brother showed up one day needing help because he didn't realise mike wanted to forget them (Maybe I have a new idea now😂) The first time I saw him in the pics and trailer of season six with the mustache was kinda shocking to me. Because then I saw the mustache all I could thing about was how it remind me of Inspector Campbell's (And Hitlers). And since considering what Campbell did to the family (esp. to Polly for Mike to get out of jail that one episode in S2😭) it made me draw a parallel. It was like proof he had turned in to one of his families worst enemies and that's when I knew who was gonna die🥲 Or like it was proof he had kinda of turned into what both his mothers never wanted him to be😭 And that just struck me with how much he had changed since the start! I think Finn's character was kind of how Polly wanted Michael to turn out (At leat the part where he wasn't made for the family business) but because of all the trama he had gone though and his own inabliltiy to share his feelings or be content with what he had he kinda went down😭 He really was an interesting character though and I really did like him in the very first seasons he was in! I really do wonder how he would have turned out if he had never left his foster family after first meeting the Shelby's.
It did make me laugh the other day though. I was trying to start Animal Kingdom b/c I wanted to see more stuff Finn Cole was in, and it seemed to me like it was like a Modern Day American Peaky Blinders almost😂 And then I found two more thing he was in (I'm still looking for more😂) and I read their synopsis. And it hit my mind that based of those 4 movies Finn Cole seems to enjoy playing Characters that start of as like the "innocent Farm Boy / Nice guy" types and slowly become more corrupted or end up becoming power hungry or the "darker bad boy running from the law" type😂 Also he seems to enjoy taking roles with characters in difunctional Families, and don't get my wrong he plays those characters very very well (like the empty stare he did as Mike sometimes was creepy!) but I kinda want find something with him in it where I don't have to prepare myself for someone to die or murder someone every few episodes 😂
And that you for your kind words about your inbox being open💕💕💕 They really make me smile!🥰🥰🥰 I may have to do the thing you mentioned with a side blog or another one! That's so nice of you❤️❤️ Your so great!!❤️ I feel a little bad every time you say it's open but I still kinda hide😂😭 My anxiety has been getting better tough! I'm hoping that soon I'll actually get back on and start interacting with my actually blog and stuff! 💕🥰
And it's ok about the music too! One of my friends ended up finding a hurricane playlist on Spotify and I didn't realize how many songs there were referencing hurricanes😂 Once the lights went out we played Uno in the dark with only a small lamp to see our cards😂 it was actually fun and a good distraction! We also played Cards against Humanity enrich went how you may expect it to go with a bunch of college students😂
And here is my end now!❤️ I hope you are doing well and I can't wait to hear from you again! I enjoy our messages very much! Have a great Day or Night!❤️
Xoxo Gossip Girl🤫
Hello darling, I’m so sorry this took me ages to reply!
How have you been? 🥰
(I’ll add this to the ask box I left for you in my master list (at the end).
I don’t remember watching that movie at all…. But since you mention it’s not scary, I guess I will add it to my list then! (I’m a chicken when it comes to terror films lol) omg I can’t believe never heard of this cartoon! Maybe it wasn’t popular in my hometown? Oh but of course I know of Tom & Jerry! It was one of my favorites! Just like the animaniacs (is that correct?) I remember watching the last Tom & Jerry movie in like 2021? But I guess the different plots was a plan so you didn’t have to watch it in order… oh no! curious George? Guess I will have to google that one! Because it does t ring a bell, I used to watch more like Melissa explains it all and Sabrina 🤭🤭 hahah about vampires since you enjoy them, did you see Buffy? Interview with a vampire is a must then, I know I watched that one a looong time ago! You know just about two years ago I was able to watch that Halloween film (sorry I forgot the name) where Angelica Houston is a witch and she and other witches get together in a hotel and they all turn into horrible women and then put a spell on two kids who saw them and turn them into mice? It’s an ancient film but I haven’t found the “courage”to watch it until recently haha
Oh don’t worry dear, I didn’t know it was Cillian until later hahaha because he looked kind of different as Dr Crane huh? Yeah! I liked it too, whenever it’s on the tv I watch it again :) oh you should watch Anthropoid it’s one of my favorites! Everything about it is amazing, the story, the characters… incredible work! Tbh, there are some films I only watched for him too 🤭 like Trascendence or Anna haha…
Ohhh thanks for the recommendation! The name doesn’t sound familiar, but sometimes I’m so so distracted that I don’t pay enough attention so maybe I’ve watched some of his films without knowing (?) hahaha I think that’s a great idea for one of those lines that feels so natural and funny! It’s an unusual -and funny- last name.
It’s been so long but I guess we were talking about mrs murphy’s fics (?) don’t worry if you don’t read the real person stories though, it’s understandable:) there are loads of other stories -all amazing- to read, I’m trying to catch up in a few but it’s a never ending story hahaha
So have you written for Ollie? Well you definitely have a true point there with the Tommy-Lizzie comparison and I also think Allie is probably as hard as a Tommy to work with…
Michael was a good kid, but he got carried away and like you said he tried to become a mini-Tommy and that messed him up, who knew things would end up like they did ? Right? It’s one of those things we got stolen from the show,like his adoptive mother forgot about him? They never crossed paths again? (Why does this sounds like a plot for a fic? 😂), ugh the mustache was horrible! 😳 hmm I see what you mean there, haven’t thought about the resemblance between Michael and Campbell until you mentioned it! It’s sad the way his character turned out, all of that frustration and anger towards his own blood? He had a good life, but well… he’s gone 😂 . She practically raised Finn! Another sad story, the poor boy doesn’t feel like he belongs there… and made mistake after mistake.
Oh is it good? Never seen it, but I think I remember watching some advertising for it in some channel… hahaha how’s the search going? I don’t think I have seen anything else from his work, I just know Ada (Sophie Turner) did another series but it was canceled later. Hmm really? That sucks! The poor guy will get stuck into that kind of characters and the. It will be hard for him to get different roles 😂 or so I think… why do I think he has the type for a doctor in Greys Anatomy? 😂 like one of those interns you really dislike because he’s a total douche 🤭 let’s hope he gets another kind of role where he’s not the resentful guy 😁😁😁
I mean it! Every time you need to talk to someone, you know where to find me! And no, please don’t feel like that at least not with me 🥰 feel free to come as a anon, side blog whatever makes you feel comfortable and safe! I haven’t heard from you, so I hope everything has been good with you darling.
I know the hurricane was a long time ago, but I’m glad that you guys found a way to stay busy during that time (I love playing uno btw! Can go for hours 😆), that’s my go to game sometimes! Most of the board games to be honest, monopoly, uno, memory…
This is all for now, hope to hear from you soon! Don’t hurry though take your time or reply in parts, whatever works for you! I really wish (worry) about your anxiety as I know it hits like waves at times, so take care of yourself, sending you all my love as usual, would love to hear from you!

Okay I'm gonna share some thoughts but under the cut 'cause this one is just crazy.
Okay so, the chance of a 5sos5 documentary became real the second they posted this one video back in March 2021 after they left modest, and I always had many thoughts about that because of how this document could've been delivered to us, because they pay Ryan to record and edit their stuff but they don't have a contract (at least not to my knowledge) with someone who could publish this in like a movie format (think Ms Americana or that Shawn Mendes one on netflix cause i don't think they would do a physical dvd like they did with the first 5sos doc) but I was thinking about something along the lines of the Shawn Mendes one, that you have the movie following him on tour and you have separate thing with a concert. My first theory involved just any show from the tmh tour, but then they announced the feeling of falling upwards, and naturally the idea of a documentary with the journey of making 5sos5 ending with a show they put on to showcase 5sos5 makes a lot of sense, but nothing about using the ono show was mentioned since it happened so honestly it may not be the plan since it was livestreamed, so I went back to just a tmh concert. Using one of the Sydney shows at the Opera House makes a lot of sense if they want to use the video footage too, 'cause it's a beautiful venue, it's their hometown, ending a 5sos5 documentary back where it all started it would be poetic even, but then they released the part one on youtube. With no warning, no explanations, no promises of more besides the fact that it's titled part one. But also you can't just have a concert and drop it as a live album with little to no time to work on it. I mean, you can but it's not ideal, and the show is happening this weekend and like it or not the time for a "making of 5sos5" documentary to be relevant for marketing purposes is running out, 'cause the industry is moving really fast and.
Then I thought they were gonna drop part 2 of the doc on the bands anniversary, but that didn't happen, so now we're back to no man's land, because since part one was played for fans on the ono stream, and that was "leaked" (you know we screenrecorded it and it's out there), they could've just decided to put that out there while still planning on releasing a full length doc in another format just because it was already out. But I'm also back to guessing they are using a tmh date, that is no longer random, because BMG is taking down videos from the Paris show for copyright content the same way some videos from myt London (aka the mytt album concert) get taken down periodically. And why would they take down fan recordings of one specific date if there were no plans about using the recordings from that date? But that circles back to the question of how would that be released. Because I don't think they would just put a full concert on youtube but at the same time I wouldn't put it past them to just like, upload it in parts.
But there's also the chance that this documentary ends up like the myt tour diaries, gathering dust in some hard drive, because the time past and the moment is gone and they just moved on. So like, I need them to give us more information.

STRANGE WORLD's Unlikely 2nd Life
The Walt Disney Company feels that there are 61, soon to be 62 animated features in their "Animated Classics Canon"...
At least 20 films in the "canon" had flopped at the box office on their initial releases.
And many of those films found successful second lives afterwards... A theatrical run is short, but the movie's existence is forever after that...
The earliest Disney animated films lived on through theatrical re-issues...
Example: PINOCCHIO (1940) and BAMBI (1942) were initially impacted by World War II, whether it was audiences at home not taking to those stories the same way they did to SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS just a few years earlier, or almost the entire European market being cut off. When the war was over, and these films began playing in territories where they initially were banned from, and when they came back to American theaters every 5-10 years, they began to make their money back... and they all eventually became the crown jewels of Disney's animated library. Would you believe for a second that PINOCCHIO, where Disney's whole damn anthem comes from... And BAMBI, one of the great Disney tearjerkers... Were initially viewed as disappointments upon their release? And even lost money?
Flop is a loaded word in movie-dom, and often a misused word... A film losing lots of money has long been something of a curse to a movie or even its filmmakers, something so stigmatized... And during Walt's years among the living, a lot of what's considered the cream of the crop... PINOCCHIO, FANTASIA, BAMBI, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and SLEEPING BEAUTY... All lost money at the box office on their respective initial releases... And they were saved by re-issues over time... Films that even had mixed or outright negative reviews upon release, long considered iconic afterwards... It just had to take a few years.
Other films had second lives via home video. Home video as we know it today came about in 1975, in the form of Betamax, in Japan. VHS followed there in 1976. The winning VHS format then came to America in 1977, and slowly grew from there, becoming much more commonplace in American homes by the end of the 1980s... Walt Disney, of course, didn't live to see this video age, but it proved to be a deus ex machina to flop animated movies, more so than a theatrical re-issue could be. THE BLACK CAULDRON was originally released in theaters in 1985, and could've easily come to video the year after, but the film wouldn't debut on video until 1998. Thirteen years later... And it more than made back what it lost. THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER was the sole box office loss during the Disney Renaissance of the late 1980s/early 1990s, but on videocassette and LaserDisc, it covered all of its losses within a year. THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE, TREASURE PLANET, and BROTHER BEAR all thrived on DVD/VHS... So on, so forth.
Now we're in the streaming era. ENCANTO. Great example. Did so-so in theaters during the Delta and Omicron variants, collected about $250m worldwide... While SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME made that kind of money on its first weekend in North America *alone*... But lo and behold, ENCANTO *explode* on Disney+ and is one of the most streamed films of all-time. Disney regularly racked up world records in home video sales (SNOW WHITE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ALADDIN, and THE LION KING broke all the records), and they also dominate streaming: ENCANTO, along with the two FROZENs and MOANA, regularly are in the Top 10 most-streamed movies...
Then there's the latest Walt Disney Animation Studios film, STRANGE WORLD, a sci-fi adventure movie that came out in theaters merely less than a year ago. A film they left to die in theaters during the Thanksgiving stretch, with a truly ineffective marketing campaign behind it. For whatever reason, it tested poorly before release, Disney had no faith in it, and audiences didn't seem to like it much. But on Disney+, it did quite well in its first couple of weeks, so maybe there was a small sliver of hope for this one...
Now, it has made a resurgence... But for reasons a lot of us expected, but maybe not in the way we thought it would play out...
And just a warning, I'm going to get very political... So, yeah, just a heads up...
STRANGE WORLD was shown in an elementary school in the dictatorship known as... the state of Florida. Because Florida's draconian frumpy toad of a governor kisses up to his ghastly constituents - the very weirdos in this country who hate queer people and are also very politically active, showing STRANGE WORLD - a PG-rated Disney movie for the entire family - to a class of schoolchildren is a criminal act of the highest order. The poor 5th grade teacher, Ms. Jenna Barbee, is being *investigated* for this! Per the governor's orders! You would've thought she had shown CALIGULA (1979) to the class or something! And it was all spurred by some angry Karen-looking woman who had actually signed a waiver that *allowed* Barbee to show her child and the other students PG-RATED MOVIES.
Oh, but not THAT one apparently...
Just another day in America, it seems... And just another day in a state as completely-f*cked as Florida.
The very state where The Walt Disney Company operates a little theme park that... I dunno... Happens to drive A LOT of the state's tourism???
So... Theatrical re-releases, home video, streaming... and government-mandated investigation...
This is not the first time a Disney animated movie spurred some kind of controversy, but this... This is a whole other level... Because right now, in certain states in this country, the right-wing is working overtime to rip the LGBTQIA+ community of their rights, criminalize them, demonize them, and erase them. Especially in the schools, all age groups, whether you're a kindergartner or a high school senior, even. All under the guise of "protecting children"...
To these awful awful people, a straight couple existing and even expressing love for one another is totally OKAY... But if an LGBTQIA+ couple even so much as *thinks* of smiling at each other, it's CORRUPTING our youth! Monsters like this particular governor are doing this because their lowlife constituents want it. Millions of asshole Americans who hate everyone and everything, that's who this stupid elephant party answers exclusively to. And they do it, with pleasure. Anything to power themselves, no matter how many people it hurts and even kills. They'll make up all the worst lies about us queers in order to render our pleas for just wanting to be left alone insignificant. They use trojanhorse concerns like "schools are trying to s*xualize kids", something schools legally CAN'T do, to make the masses think that us queers are in a conspiracy with "liberals", "leftists", "marxists", "communists", "socialists", and George Soros to harm children.
This is what we're up against, and STRANGE WORLD is now part of this ludicrous, hateful war... Something this party would rather invest in than actually, ya know, running a country with *actual* policy???
Truly normal people watched the movie and just said "Ok, whatever."
These demented goblins see the most menacing sinister thing preying on the vulnerable youth in our country.
All because the character Ethan Clade has a crush on a boy named Diazo... There's one scene of them hanging out together, and it's so brief and harmless... Throughout the movie, Ethan mentions his love of this boy. The two are seen together helping out in Avalonia's insides at the very end of the movie, and that's it really... It's a significant cut above the nearly non-existent "representation" seen in previous Disney-released movies... Like the utter joke that was THE RISE OF SKYWALKER's "representation", or the blink-and-you'll-miss-it nonsense seen in films like the live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and even some of those were protested by wackiest of right-wing wackos.
This is really what we're dealing with in America, folks... Some harmless Disney movie that flopped at the box office and no one really paid attention to is CRIME OF THE CENTURY to a very loud and powerful block of the country, and is now part of a state governor and his cronies' cruel war on an entire community's existence. And part of this gremlin's war is also Walt Disney World itself, as it is based in Florida, and he's trying to dictate them and their district that they operate out of...
Currently, Disney is fighting this demon in other ways, one of the few good things this corporation is actually doing. Which feels kind of wrong to say, but between Iger and this utter fascist? Oh I'll side with Iger on this one, easily, even if Disney gave a lot of support to this guy and his bullshit in the first place.
I wonder if this will drive views on Disney+ for STRANGE WORLD, a movie that otherwise would've just... Existed on there... I wonder if many will stream it out of curiosity. Just *how* inappropriate is this flop sci-fi Disney movie? Is it really all that controversial? They'll pop it on, realize that it's just some harmless 100min movie, and call it a day... Making that governor and those who wholeheartedly support his crusade look even stupider and wackier than they already do...
I believe STRANGE WORLD does have a second life ahead of it, in that it's a family movie with pretty solid queer representation. It's nice to see two characters actually showing affection, and not it being some line you can easily miss, or something hidden far in the background of a crowded shot. This movie probably already has uplifted many a queer kid, preteen, or teenager already. Just seeing themselves, not as a joke, and not much attention is called to it, either. Avalonia is not Earth, and their society is all-accepting and seemingly unmarred by colonialism and capitalism. Mixed race families, queer people, disabled people, they all just harmoniously exist there. When Ethan tells his grandpa Jaegar Clade about his crush back home, you - the Earth-dwelling audience - would expect the old man to object... But he doesn't! It's a relief, in a way. Instead, he's like "what's he like? Here's how you impress him!" In Avalonia, it's as normal as anything else. Very "Disney" of this movie to create a fantasy world where you can be queer and not have to worry about millions of people wanting you erased from existence.
While I don't find STRANGE WORLD to be a masterpiece, or anything close to it, I think that's very important nonetheless. A lot of younger folk will have this movie, and it'll be a favorite of theirs. Much in the same way a lot of kids ate up EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, ATLANTIS, TREASURE PLANET, and BROTHER BEAR on video, and took those movies with them into the adult age. Nowadays those movies are more positively spoken about. Not like in, say, 2008 where most people said "oh, those flops."
It would simply have that in its favor, but... It's now part of a government investigation. It's now in 'Louie, Louie' territory, as a harmless piece of media that's in big trouble... At the hands of people who just need to f*cking chill for five seconds already.
('Louie, Louie' is in reference to a rock song by The Kingsmen, which came out in 1963, and was investigated by the F-B-freakin'-I for supposedly "obscene" lyrics that weren't there... But the hilarious thing is, one of the musicians yelling the f-word in the background during the session was in the released recording... The FBI didn't notice that whatsoever. Funny how the things you are often looking for are right in front of you!)
Moving on... STRANGE WORLD is now in a truly strange situation, one that did not need to happen, and I'm sure little will be done about this by Disney themselves... as this is something that the people need to revolt against or work their damnedest to vote out. Hey, Jacksonville elected a Democrat the other day, so it's not all lost! Disney can only deal with the things the governor is dishing to them, not a teacher somewhere in the state who showed a movie to her class. Though it would be nice if ol' Iger made some sort of statement at least, something about standing by the movie and its representation, which won't do anything other than... Ya know, piss the right people off? Disneyland on the West Coast is already having a big queer celebration in the coming months, so might as well piss these people off some more. It'll at least be funny!
It'd be even more hilarious if WISH had some queerness in it, ditto any other upcoming PG-rated movies of theirs. Like, they could hide STRANGE WORLD because it was a somewhat-weird sci-fi adventure movie, but something more mainstream-looking like WISH or ELEMENTAL or any of those movies? It'd be cool if they kept it up. I know that I, a queer person who loves the animated works and theme park entertainments that comes out of the Disney enterprise, would be a very happy camper about that, too...
Like, in simple terms... Teacher gets targeted by a queer-loathing state governor for showing a Disney movie in class... And that Disney movie happens to be... STRANGE WORLD...
