Have you seen the official Getty pictures of Sam and Eleanor from tonight and this below? I’m not sure how to best express my feelings but it’s making me question the special chemistry I thought S and C had and believing they are a couple. I’m trying not to be sad but I’m questioning everything I have believed.
https://twitter.com/cashmyeshaybabe/status/1719822928714596696?s=46&t=PwRUwYJkImTt7ctbAQQkKw
Thanks for a weary and distraught shipper.
(*Testing 1, 2. Testing 1, 2, 3. Can everyone hear me?*... is the Austen-esque style civilized enough for your crowd?!)
Dear Weary and Distraught Anon,
I have Reasons to believe you are neither Weary, nor Distraught (or a Shipper, for that matter), since you are making The Rounds in the Hope that you will Elicit a New Convert, or at least Stir Shite like it's God's Work. Let me, therefore, Inform you that @bat-cat-reader has Blocked you on the spot, which I believe prompted this Last Resort solution of turning to me.
I happen to share the Same Sentiments as you, Anon. I am also Weary of People Like You, immediately popping in our inboxes with your Puerile, huffing and puffing Fake Tantrums, every Single Time S or C get out of Their Bubble and have a public apparition. And I am also Distraught at the Very Thought that People Like You still think we are Candid enough to even consider your intellectually Precarious Arguments, even for a Single Second.
These are the Earth-Shattering pictures that ruined your Evening, Anon:
Tumblr media
Exhibit 1: a bit of eye-candy for 'your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses'. Promo-shtick 101.
Tumblr media
Exhibit 2, or as your Chief, the Dimwit would dementedly shout every time one of you, Anons, makes it alive back to Mordor: MARRIT! FUCKING! (I believe the Third Interjection in her Dedicated and Minimalistic Vocabulary was...MARRAPAZ? 🙄)
Ho-hum. He doesn't even touch Tomlinson in this second picture, Anon.
Have a chicle, Anon. Then, repeat after me:
Eleanor Tomlinson is C's Good Friend. C has publicly okayed the project on X when they started shooting the series.
Eleanor Tomlinson is MARRIT to Will Owen since 2022. Their first marriage anniversary was Paper.
Eleanor Tomlinson and Sam Heughan have On-screen Chemistry only. They do not have a Ten Year-long History of Innuendos and decently substantiated occurrences, allowing for a pretty Clear Theory of life/love status - unlike Those Other Two you are so readily doubting, Liar Anon.
When you are done repeating those, please write 120 times in a row the following:
I have the attention span of a Highland midge and the ferocity of a rattlesnake.
We're done now, Anon. Please pack your belongings hit the Copy/Paste buttons for a Fuming Anon to Dimwit citing All Subsequent Comments to this Post and kindly (but quickly) see Yerself Oot.

the  children  of  ansel    (    in  birth  order    )    as  written  about  in  a  journal  kept  by  ansel’s  bedside.
eleanor  tomlinson  as  merewina    (    merrie    )    dragenson  nee  anseldottir. 
and  though  she  came  first,  she  never  stood  with  superiority.  her  mother’s  daughter  through    &    through,  merrie  became  the  heart  of  the  pack;    beloved  sister,  cherished  friend.  it  was  she  who  would  heal  the  wounded  and  feed  the  hungry.  she  who  would  teach  the  children  how  to  read.  though  born  a  wolf,  merrie  rarely  turned  and  yet,  inner  wolf  was  never  clearer  in  the  fierce  loyalty  she  displayed  everyday.  the  same  loyalty  that  saw  her  die  at  mikael’s  hand,  shielding  families  from  his  onslaught.
joseph  morgan  as  niklaus    (    klaus    )    mikaelson.
each  full  moon  drew  me  closer  to  klaus.  it  was  undeniable;    a  strong,  stubborn  bond  that  i  could  not  shake,  no  matter  how  much  esther  insisted  i  must.  the  call  of  my  own  was  loud    &    i  yearned  to  be  near  him,  to  raise  him,  to  teach  him.  i  waited  for  the  day  he  would  trigger  his  curse    &    need  me,  but  that  day  never  came.  the  pack  was  never  complete  without  him.  i  was  never  complete  without  him.  i  should’ve  done  more.      this  insert  includes  many  hand  -  drawn  pictures  of  a  young  niklaus,  sketched  by  ansel’s  own  hands.
eysteinn  sigurdarson  as  cadman  anselson.
born  two  minutes    &    seven  seconds  before  his  twin  sister,  and  rest  assured,  he  never  let  goldiva  forget.  cadman  stood  with  the  confidence  of  an  alpha  before  he  could  even  truly  understand  the  meaning  of  the  word.  i  watch  him  lead  warriors  into  victory  after  victory,  and  he  did  so  with  a  valiance  not  even  i  myself  possess.  he  did  not  marry  nor  have  children,  and  he  believed  that  made  him  a  stronger  leader  for  it  gave  him  nothing  to  lose.  perhaps  he  was  right.  though  nothing  like  his  namesake,  i  feel  in  my  bones  father  caedmon  would’ve  felt  honour  in  knowing  my  son  fought  with  his  legacy.  
thea  soie  loch  naess  as  goldiva  anseldottir.
and  should  anyone  ever  doubt  goldiva’s  place  on  the  battlefield,  they  certainly  never  lived  to  make  that  mistake  twice.  my  daughter  was  born  with  fire  in  her  eyes    &    a  wolf  in  her  heart    /    claws  already  sharpened  for  war.  she  embraced  the  change  on  her  eighteenth  birthday,  underneath  the  blood  moon  and  standing  side  by  side  cadman,  neither  ever  truly  apart  from  the  day  they  arrived  together.  i  fear  cadman  struggled  without  her  when  she  died  at  mikael’s  hand  and  he  did  not.  it  turns  out  he  did  have  something  to  lose  after  all.
harrison  osterfield  as  ricmann    (    ric    )    anselson.
ricmann  was  a  quiet  child  and  he  remained  so  throughout  life.  the  boy  seemed  more  interested  in  nature  than  people,  whispering  words  to  the  injured  birds  while  nursing  their  broken  wing.  he  would  spend  hours  with  the  plants,  tending  to  vegetables.  though  his  name  meant  the  power  to  rule,  he  grew  up  a  gentle  soul,  burdened  by  the  weight  of  the  moon  in  the  sky.  i  could  see  the  pressure  he  felt  to  follow  in  his  sibling’s  footsteps.  i  hope  he  knew  i  would’ve  loved  him  regardless.  it  was  a  conversation  we  never  got  the  chance  to  share  before  mikael  slew  us  both.
freya  allen  as  hildegyth  anseldottir.
the  youngest  girl  of  a  large  family.  i  think  it  bothered  her  sometimes;    too  often  mistaken  for  a  child  when  she  was  so  desperate  to  grow  up  as  fast  as  possible.  she  became  the  perfect  combination  of  us  all,  carrying  herself  with  the  softness  found  in  ricmann's  heart,  but  fighting  with  cadman’s  spirit  if  ever  required.  overcame  obstacles  with  determination  that  could  only  be  learnt  from  goldiva,  yet  in  turn,  won  many  villager’s  admiration  with  that  same  ability  to  love  i  saw  in  merrie.  it  was  as  if  we  took  the  best  parts  of  us  and  gave  them  to  her.  she  wasn’t  just  a  wolf.  she  was  a  force  and  those  that  underestimated  her,  soon  realised  the  error  of  their  ways.  hildegyth  survived  mikael  and  i  watched  over  her  as  she  raised  merewina’s  daughter  as  her  own.  because  of  her,  our  legacy  lives  on.  
unseen  in  this  gifset  as  beowulf  anselson.
our  littlest  wolf.  beowulf  came  to  us  as  a  miraculous  surprise,  born  on  a  cold  winter’s  morning,  with  sif  clutching  my  hand.  we  loved  him  dearly  in  the  short  time  we  had  together  as  a  family,  and  though  i  know  he  struggled  to  remember  us  as  i  watched  him  grow  from  the  other  side,  i  do  not  regret  dying  to  ensure  his  survival.  my  approach  distracted  mikael  long  enough  for  brida  to  run,  beowulf  tucked  safely  in  her  arms.  i  died  knowing  he  was  in  safe  hands.

Why ‘War of the Worlds’ (2005) is a underrated masterpiece.
Tumblr media
‘War of the Worlds’ was released in 2005, it is directed by the film god that is Steven Spielberg (Jaws, E.T.) and written by Josh Friedman (Terminator: Dark Fate, Avatar 2) and David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible) 
Cast:  - Tom Cruise as Ray Farrier. - Justin Chatwin as Robbie Farrier. - Dakota Fanning as Rachel Farrier. - Miranda Otto as Mary Ann. -Tim Robbins as Harlan Ogilvy. - Ann Robinson as Grandmother.  - Gene Barry as Grandfather. 
First lets start with some history of ‘The War of the Worlds’ - The 2005 film is based off the novel of the same name which was written by H.G. Wells between 1895 and 1897, it then was then made into a series by Pearson’s Magazine in 1897 in the UK, Cosmopolitan in the US. Then becoming a hardback novel in 1898, it is one of the earliest written pieces to tell a story of conflict between Martians and man and so its one of the most commented on pieces of science fiction. 
It has been adapted and developed several times over many decades in many medias, the ones that come to mind are the famous 1938 dramatic radio reading that was directed and starred Orson Welles that actually caused public panic to those who listened in and didn’t know that the Martian invasion was fiction, its said that up to a million people ran out of their homes in terror.  (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(1938_radio_drama) )
Tumblr media
The 1953 ‘The War of the Worlds’ film adaptation, which was produced by George Pal and directed by Byron Haskin. It also starred Gene Barry (who played Dr. Clayton Forrester) and Ann Robinson (who played Sylvia Van Buren) who can also been seen at the end of the 2005 film, they play the grandparents of Robbie and Rachel which I think is a sweet little cameo to see for those who loved the 1953 film.  Ann Robinson also revived her role as Sylvia Van Buren in two other films and three episodes of ‘The War of the Worlds’ tv series in 1988. 
Tumblr media
In 1978 the most well known musical album by Jeff Wayne was produced and based off the story of ‘War of the Worlds’ this album included the voices of Richard Burton and David Essex.
Tumblr media
This was then turned into a concert musical which tours annually through out the UK and Europe, the concert includes live performers such as Carrie Hope Fletcher but also a 3D hologram of Liam Neeson. It also includes a mix of computer animation, pyrotechnics and a big mechanical tripod that comes out on stage and lights up and can fire its heat-ray. 
Tumblr media
(Source: Birmingham Mail.)
There have also been several Tv series, the two newest being the 2019 BBC version staring Poldark’s Eleanor Tomlinson and Full Monty’s Robert Carlyle, that has a Edwardian setting and follows closely to the novel. 
Tumblr media
The other being the FOX 2019 adaptation that is set in present day Europe but I found this version didn’t really go off the novel, and was frustrated with the lack of the famous Tripods.  (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds) 
As a kid I would watch the 1953 film with my mum all the time as its one of her favourites and I do really like it, but then 2005 rolled around and in comes Steven Spielberg’s version. To be fair it was probably 2006 when I finally saw it, I was nine years old at the time and I remember my dad bringing home the DVD that someone at work had lent him. I don’t remember watching it but I do remember having nightmares for a month after, only for a month though.  Many years later when I was half way through high school and getting more and more into film my dad then bought the DVD from Woolworth's before it shut down, the DVD didn’t have a case only a see through CD case so I think it only cost him something like 50p. So I re-watched and again I don’t really remember this but all of a sudden I was hooked, and it climbed to the second spot on my favourite movies list where it still sits today. Honestly if you asked anyone I was friends with at that time they will tell you just how obsessed I was with it.  
I have many scenes that I love in this film the first being the rise of the first tripod, but there are two that I geek out over every time. 
The first scene being the one in the basement at Robbie and Rachel’s house, the scene starts off with Ray asleep in a chair. He starts to stir when when a blue flash of light on his face, but then jolts up right at a load whooshing noise followed by closely by Robbie shooting up from just below the camera. I love the way that Robbie appears sort of fits with the sound that’s heard, also the whole mood of the scene which is pitch black with this blue flashing light every now and then. The fact that you’re just as clueless as the characters as well, you find out what’s happening when they find out.  Also the way that Rachel appears behind the basement stairs, which will appear again near the end of the movie in a much more damaged basement which shows just how much their world has changed in just a short few days.  The sound design in this movie as well is something that I love, I love when the sound in a film alone can creep you out. The tripod sound is one of my favourite sounds to exist, like if I heard that from outside I would be so creeped out and scared.  At this moment in time Robbie and Rachel have no idea what is hunting them or what Ray has seen, Imagine running from something and seeing something completely destroy the whole of your neighbourhood yet not knowing what it looks like. This is what runs through my mind when I heart Rachel cry “Is it them, Is it them?!”  Then the next morning when Ray goes upstairs and see’s that the house is just completely destroyed by an aeroplane that has crashed down in the middle of the the housing estate. This Boeing 747 was a out of use plane and the production crew bought it for $60,000 which then cost them $200,000 to transport, it was then broken into pieces and houses were built around it. Which just shows how far some movie productions will go to make a film look more legit. (We love practical effects in this house.) This scene is still set up at Universal Studios Hollywood and can be seen on the Studio tour. 
Tumblr media
(Basement and Plane crash scene.)
My second favourite scene, which is one of my all time top favourite scene ever with no surprise is the dock scene.  The speeding train that’s on fire is absolute stunning in every sense but for me the scene starts when the music starts.  ‘If I ruled the world, everyday would be the first day of spring.’ But i’m really glued to the screen when Rachel starts to follow the birds coming in from the river to in land, she follows them up to the hill where she notices the tree’s on the top are moving weirdly. “The tree’s are funny.” She then reaches out and grabs onto Rays hand who was talking to a friend.  Robbie turns to the hill as the camera slowly comes back and shows Robbie also turning to look at where Ray is looking. (Just remembering that this is the first time Robbie and Rachel ever see the tripods.) 
Tumblr media
The camera then shows us what the family is looking at to reveal a tripod stood on the top of the hill, it then moves one of its legs which crushes a tree and makes everyone else look back. Obviously chaos ensues from this point on, everyone running trying to get onto the ferry to get away from the impending doom, unfortunately we learn that no where, not even on the water is safe. As a tripod comes up from out of the water and attacks the ferry, the family manage to escape and get to land on the other side of the ferry. They stop for a moment to catch their breath as people are being picked out of the water below them, they turn as a old air raid alarm is heard on the other side of the hill and we see tripods coming over another hill that was filled with people and using their head rays to wipe them all out, we also see in the distance a lighting storm indicating more Martions are still coming to earth. The scene is like a depiction of all the stages of the attack.  (Dock attack scene.)
Tumblr media
I mean all the action scenes in this movie are just so beautiful and amazing, but did we expect any less from Spielberg? And the CGI and practical are all done extremely well and fitted together to make a scene look as real as possible. One of the art directors that worked on this film, Doug J. Meerdink who has also worked on Jurassic Park: III, Cloverfield and Jurassic World. 
I was looking up some trivia on IMDB for this movie and found that there was a deleted scene that is called the ‘Camelot’ scene. This scene is supposed to take place between the attack on the ferry and the battle on the hill, it involves Ray, Rachel and Robbie walking through an abandoned housing estate that’s named Camelot, when a pack of tripods start walking near by.  One of the tripods breaks off and the family has to take cover behind a SUV, they watch helplessly from behind as the tripod reaches into the house and grabs people from the houses. This scene has never been released but apparently it was fully finished, VFX and all but then taken out a few weeks before post production was wrapped up.  There is only one official video from this scene that was in the actual trailer for the film, and it’s only a shot of the family hiding behind the SUV.

The only other shot from the scene is this landscape shot of a CGI tripod.

There are also photos of the set designers setting up the miniature of the housing estate to shoot this scene, the rest are fan arts of how the scene maybe looked/ played out.  (Source)
I really hope that one day Steven releases this scene, or for some anniversary adds it into an extended version of the film like we’ve seen for other films. Because I would love that so much! It seems like such an incredible scene, and to see the tripods up this close again would be so cool! 
One of the trailers that was released for this film doesn’t have any of the film shots it in, It takes place in a normal neighbourhood where people are just going about their normal nightly routine when suddenly over the hill there are all these brilliant flashing lights, everyone's just coming out of their houses in their pj’s and standing in the street marvelling at this sight in front of them. Then we see explosions and suddenly heat rays are blowing up the tress on the street which then goes into the title.  I just love this, a trailer that doesn’t give anything away from the movie but creeps you out enough to be invested.  (Trailer.)

All in all it’s just an very visually pleasing film, it feels real enough to give you a sense of fear for the characters and for yourself. I also love that Steven stayed true to the source material,more truer than some of the other adaptations and also added in his own little Easter eggs.  The sounds, the aesthetic, the colours just everything comes together so beautifully. I think its a very underrated movie that deserves so much more love.
