stunned by the Blyth sister *PT 3*
Tumblr media
As Rachel settled into her seat, she found herself flanked by Hunter on her left and Y/n on her right. The dimmed lights and the hushed atmosphere heightened the sense of anticipation in the room.
Y/n, exuding genuine enthusiasm, leaned in toward Rachel and spoke quietly, "I'm really excited to see Tom on the big screen. It's such a surreal experience, you know?"
Rachel, caught slightly off guard, stuttered in response, "Y-yeah, it is. Tom's done an amazing job with his role. It's going to be a memorable performance."
Y/n, not noticing Rachel's momentary hesitation, smiled warmly. "I can't wait to see how it all comes together. It's like a dream come true for him."
As Y/n spoke, Hunter, always attuned to the nuances around her, couldn't resist a teasing remark. She leaned across Rachel, a playful smirk on her face. "Oh, Rachel, it seems like Y/n is just as excited to see her brother on the big screen as you are."
Rachel, feeling the gentle teasing from both sides, blushed slightly but managed a good-natured laugh. "Well, I suppose we're all here to celebrate each other's achievements tonight."
The lights in the hall dimmed completely, signaling the imminent start of the movie. The room fell into a respectful silence as the screen flickered to life, and the tale of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" began to unfold.
As the opening scenes played out, the cast and audience alike were drawn into the mesmerizing world on the screen. The hall, now transformed into a cinematic haven, echoed with the collective gasps, laughter, and quiet whispers of appreciation for the storytelling unfolding before them.
The premiere, with its blend of glamour, camaraderie, and the shared excitement of the cast, had reached its zenith. The stars, surrounded by the glow of the big screen, were about to witness the culmination of their efforts.
As the movie unfolded on the big screen, the captivating visuals and compelling narrative held the audience in rapt attention. The tale of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" began to weave its spell, and the room became a sea of focused gazes, fully immersed in the cinematic experience.
Tumblr media
As the arena scenes commenced, the tension in the room heightened. The atmosphere grew charged with the challenges faced by the characters on screen. Y/n, thoroughly engrossed in the unfolding drama, found herself instinctively reaching out for something to ground her in the intensity of the moment.
In an unconscious gesture, Y/n's hand sought Rachel's, a grasp that was more a reflex to the suspenseful narrative than a deliberate action. Rachel, surprised but not uncomfortable, felt the gentle squeeze of Y/n's hand in hers.
Y/n, realizing what she had done, glanced at Rachel with a mix of surprise and slight embarrassment. The dim light of the movie hall illuminated her features, revealing a subtle flush on her cheeks.
Rachel, understanding the unintentional nature of the gesture, offered a reassuring smile. She gave Y/n's hand a comforting squeeze, silently acknowledging the shared emotions stirred by the powerful scenes unfolding on the screen.
Hunter, seated on Rachel's other side, noticed the exchange and couldn't resist a playful nudge. She whispered, just audible over the cinematic soundtrack, "Looks like Y/n can't handle the intensity without a hand to hold."
Rachel, with a teasing glint in her eyes, whispered back, "Well, the arena scenes are quite gripping. Can't blame her for seeking a lifeline."
The movie continued to play out, the audience caught in the ebb and flow of emotions elicited by the unfolding narrative. The unintentional handholding became a subtle yet meaningful thread woven into the fabric of the premiere experience.
Tumblr media
As the movie reached its emotional crescendo, the scene depicting the passionate kiss between Lucy Gray and Coriolanus Snow unfolded on the screen. The chemistry between the characters was palpable, and the audience was drawn into the intensity of the moment.
Unbeknownst to Y/n, her thoughts slipped out unintentionally. In response to the on-screen romance, she whispered to herself, thinking her voice was too low to be heard, "Ugh, Lucy deserves better."
Tom, seated next to Y/n, couldn't help but chuckle softly. He knew his sister was referring to the character Lucy Gray rather than the actress portraying her. With a playful smirk, he teased, "Oh, Y/n, Lucy Gray breaking hearts even in the Blyth household?"
Y/n, catching her brother's teasing tone, rolled her eyes but smiled. "You know what I mean, Tom. She deserves someone who truly appreciates her."
Meanwhile, Rachel, seated on Y/n's other side, overheard the sibling banter. A subtle awareness settled in as she observed the exchange, feeling a peculiar flutter in her chest. The realization lingered—a sense of resonance with Y/n's sentiments toward the on-screen romance.
As the movie continued, Rachel pretended not to be aware of the teasing between the siblings, her mind wrestling with newfound thoughts and emotions. The on-screen kiss, coupled with the teasing banter, seemed to have triggered a revelation within her—a realization that she might be drawn to girls.
In the dim light of the movie hall, Rachel's internal contemplation went unnoticed by those around her. The premiere, initially a celebration of the cinematic achievement, had unexpectedly become a journey of self-discovery for Rachel.
Tumblr media
As the movie approached its poignant conclusion, the scene unfolded where Lucy Gray and Coriolanus Snow ran away, with the weight of betrayal hanging in the air. The tension in the room heightened, and the emotions of the characters mirrored in the faces of the audience.
Y/n, still invested in the unfolding drama, couldn't help but express her feelings under her breath to Tom. "Your character is such a jerk for lying to Lucy," she muttered, the disdain for Coriolanus Snow evident in her voice.
Tom, amused by his sister's investment in the story, teased with a playful grin, "Well, Y/n, it's all part of the drama. You know how these things go."
Y/n, shooting a mock glare at her brother, responded, "Doesn't mean I have to like it. Lucy deserves better."
Tom, enjoying the banter, couldn't resist pushing a bit further. "You seem quite protective of Lucy Gray. Is there a little crush I didn't know about?"
Y/n, rolling her eyes, playfully swatted at Tom. "No crush, just a sense of justice for fictional characters."
Meanwhile, Rachel couldn't help but smile at the lighthearted exchange between the siblings. The teasing banter provided a momentary distraction from her own internal contemplation.
Tumblr media
As the movie neared its climax, the pivotal scene arrived where Lucy Gray, having unraveled Coriolanus Snow's deceit, declared her intention to fetch Katniss, affectionately known as "Swamp Potato." The revelation of Lucy's intelligence and resilience drew a collective admiration from the audience.
Y/n, still immersed in the unfolding drama, couldn't help but express her appreciation under her breath. "Lucy is so smart," she muttered, a sense of respect evident in her voice.
Tom, seated next to Y/n, seized the opportunity to continue their playful banter. With a teasing glint in his eyes, he leaned in and asked, "Are you sure you're not developing a little crush on Lucy Gray? Or perhaps on the talented actress right next to you?"
Y/n, catching on to her brother's teasing, laughed and nudged him playfully. "Very funny, Tom. I just appreciate clever characters, that's all."
Tom, continuing the lighthearted banter, grinned. "Well, Lucy Gray is quite the character. Can't blame you for being a fan."
Rachel, seated beside them, joined in on the teasing with a smirk. "Maybe Y/n is just drawn to characters with depth and intelligence."
Y/n, now the good-natured target of the banter, rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress a smile. The camaraderie between the cast members added an extra layer of enjoyment to the premiere experience.
As the movie reached its intense climax, the room held its collective breath, fully immersed in the unraveling drama. The lights brightened once again, signaling the end of the cinematic journey.
The cast members, having experienced the emotional rollercoaster together, now faced an eager audience for the Q&A session.
Y/n, still seated, watched with pride as her brother, Tom, confidently walked up on the stage. The audience erupted in applause, appreciating the performance of the talented ensemble. The host opened the floor for questions, and the first query was directed at Tom.
"Tom, your portrayal of Coriolanus Snow was truly compelling. How did you prepare for such a complex character?" a fan inquired.
Tom, embracing the opportunity to share his insights, discussed the process of delving into the psyche of Coriolanus Snow. As he spoke about the challenges and nuances of the character, the audience hung on to his every word.
Hunter, in turn, fielded questions about her character, Tigris, providing glimpses into the intricacies of her role. The spotlight then shifted to Rachel, who was asked about her experience portraying Lucy Gray.
As Rachel shared her thoughts on bringing Lucy Gray to life, one fan boldly asked, "Rachel, are you currently single?" The question caught her off guard, and a shy smile played on her lips. "Uh, well, I'm here to talk about the movie and the amazing team we had," she replied diplomatically, redirecting the focus to the project.
While the Q&A continued, Y/n found herself engrossed in the dynamics on stage. Unbeknownst to the audience, Y/n harbored a secret crush on Rachel. She had discovered Rachel's involvement in the project early on, aware that her brother, Tom, would be acting alongside her.
However, Y/n kept her feelings to herself, not wanting to complicate the professional atmosphere or overshadow the celebration of the movie's success. As she watched Rachel gracefully navigate the questions, Y/n's admiration for the actress only intensified.
The Q&A session provided insights into the behind-the-scenes aspects of the film, allowing the audience to connect with the cast on a more personal level.

Playing in his hair
First off let's get it straight, Thomas hates when people play in his hair. I mean I have never seen someone go off on me the way he did when I tried to run my fingers through his hair when he was laying on the couch one day.
-
~Flashback~
Thomas and I lay on the couch after him coming back from the Avengers: Endgame premiere. I didn't go because I didn't want him to spoil the movie on the way there. I waited up for him as the time went further away from us spending time together. I was almost asleep when he walked into the front door.
"Tom, I am so glad that you are home," I say as I embrace him with a hug.
"Come, darling, I just want to cuddle and sleep," he groans as he grabs my hand and walks me over to the couch and he sits down and he lays his head on my stomach.
I figured since he hadn't told me anything about not touching his hair, I tried to run my fingers through his hair and his eyes popped open and he sat up.
"Can you not touch my hair please?" he asked me.
"Umm...sure I guess I suppose." I said removing my fingers.
But instead of staying downstairs with him, I choose to go upstairs and lay in the bed, 20 minutes later I heard him come to bed. He got into the bed and he turned the opposite way from me. I didn't even get a kiss from him, that night, let alone a goodnight.
~Flashback over~
To this day I still haven't talked to him about that moment. It slid straight past us and he let it go. Well, I think he did. Just as I thought my luck had run out when he walked downstairs.
"Hey darling," he sadly smiles towards you.
"Hey, Thomas. What's wrong?" you ask him.
"In order for me to get into my costume they have to play in my hair," he says.
"Tom I don't know whether I should smack you or cut off all your hair," you say unsettled with him at the moment.
"What's the problem darling?" he questions.
"Come on Tom, are you serious?" You ask him.
"Very, so whats the issue?" He asks.
"Come on. You would give up a huge role because you don't like people playing in your hair?" You ask him.
"Well, when you put it like that it does sound silly." He laughs.
"I do wanna know why do you not like people playing in your hair?" You ask him.
"I did at one point, but my ex cut it while I was asleep and ever since that night I haven't let anyone touch my hair. Not even to cut it. I cut it myself." He says to you.
"Okay that makes sense. But I think it might be time to get over your fear." You tell him.
"I'm scared y/n." He says putting his head in your neck.
But you had a idea.
"Tom, I am going to touch your hair. If you feel like I am hurting you, then tell me, okay." You say.
"Alright but be gentle." He says shaking a little.
He grabs the sides of your shirt. He was genuinely scared for you to touch his hair. You started from the base of his neck. You touched the baby hairs on the back of his neck.
"Tell me how does this feel?" You ask.
"It feels pleasant." He says loosening his grip on your clothes.
You move a bit further up slowly not trying to scare hom away.
"I'm slowly going to keep going up, tell me if you need me to stop." You tell him.
"I'm fine, you can keep going." He says completely letting you go.
After you were able to get your fingers through all his hair. He looked up at you and smiled.
"Thank you, this role will be mine because of you helping me today." He said.
"Its what girlfriends do." You smile.
He leans his head forward and he kisses you. He pulls away and you pull him back dor another one.
"You know I can't get enough of your lips." You smile.
He laughs. You knew that he was the best thing in your life. He loved you and you loved him. Maybe was time he knew that.

My Thoughts on Retinal Bloom!
I finally listened to Liz Lehmans new album after eagerly waiting for it for so long, I listened to it twice actually. And I'm gonna talk about what I thought about it because wow,I have a lot to say on this album.
To start off, I loved it,like I really really enjoyed listening to it. When Liz released magic hat early back in March (I think) I was immediately sold on their new project.
But what I noticed when listening to it and seeing what the album cover looked like,I knew this was going to be way more different from their past works, admittedly, I couldn't help but be conflicted about it after being so used to the synthpop/bedroom pop music they made, but I couldn't help but admire that they were going to be more aesthetically experimental with their music and I was on board none the less, also magic hat was a banger, and it was a new tsj album, you know I was gonna by hyped no matter what. I followed the release to retinal bloom so closely for a while, listening to the early releases of the songs of the album and reading the articles they premiered in.
And I honestly wished I pre-ordered the vinyl and cassette tapes,cause my excitement for the album was So worth it, hands down.
For starters, the world ethereal comes to mind when listening to this album, it has such a spacey and dreamy feel to it unlike any other tsj album which had a more child-like,nostalgic and zestful feel to it, Since Liz was going for a more psychedelic pop kind of direction with their album. And with this album also being said to be more personal, dealing with liz's struggles and their experiences with the real world, it also has a more darker and even dreadful tone, especially once you get to "forever in you" . I really like how the melodies are more mellow and melodic, like with how "riptide" has this fluid harmony to it that I can't properly describe. I also noticed that the lyrics are more poetic than their past works, usually they would be more of a combination of being metaphorical and literal, with Burn Pygmalion straight up having a narrative involving the relationship of Jeanie and Sylvia. It kinda makes alot of sense with the overall sound of retinal bloom being more abstract, and I really love that.
In terms of the songs,I have plenty of favorites, a few even stood out to me even.
Magic hat is just amazing, Uzumaki is really good, riptide is memorable, our murderous decent is a bop, forever in you is literally in my top 10 of favorite tsj songs of all time,liz has the voice of an angel, rage is weirdly comforting and retreat to celestial bodies... that.. that is the song that stood out to me most in RB, unlike every other song in the album, its only an instrumental, no lyrics, and it polarizes you and the song has a moody,noisy and even slightly depressing tone to it, and when combined with the rest of the album, it gives of this feeling of dread and lonliness, but in an oddly comforting way as the song slowly and quietly ends, its kind of my #1 favorite song in this album.
The few complaints I have (which are not much tbh) is that some songs feel like they go on for a little too long and while I do like pathogenesis, it is my least favorite, it's not a bad song by any means,it's a good song, but I feel like the melody can get a bit meandery in some parts.
But overall,i loved retinal bloom, its a genuinely great album and while I do perfer the older tsj albums,it's mainly due to preference and well I have listened to those albums so many times and got attached to them eeeeee. That aside, I'm would like to thank Liz lehman (and even Angel Marcloid)for making this lovely album, their work has meant so much to me and helped me go through the darkest moments of my life and if you haven't listened to retinal bloom yourself pls do.
TLDR: retinal bloom is a great album and I really wish I pre-ordered it and I'm upset at myself for not doing so sooner

Euro 2020 Team Previews: Group D
Tumblr media
England:
In their first Euros outing in 1968, England finished third, of four teams. They’re still waiting to improve on that. Only Belgium and the old Yugoslavia could claim to have performed better at European Championships without winning one. England have been international football’s big underachievers since 1966, from home-soil heroes to the failed Golden Generation. The Three Lions have won one knockout game in the history of this competition. On penalties. As hosts. I'm not even kidding, look it up. Five years ago, they crashed out to Iceland; as the song goes, we’d seen it all before. What followed, though, was new: it led to a scorched earth rejuvenation of English football, led by some of the greatest minds in the game. Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Marcelo Bielsa all arrived, followed by a cast of club legends making early forays into management. Together, they’ve helped to reshape the country’s tactical make-up into something more modern. An Icelandic volcano turned English football to ash, but from the rubble, something new and exciting has risen from it. There’s hope for the class of 2021. The Three Lions’ current pride isn’t an empty collection of big names – there are still titans of elite European sides, but vitally, there’s a balance that seems to have evaded the national team for 55 years. England finally have defensive midfielders and left-footers. A good grouping of the current XI are captains of their clubs. Importantly, the country’s youth-level champions of recent years are coming of age, giving Gareth Southgate genuine selection migraines. For many, England’s talent reserves are the envy of Europe as many sitting on the bench would have started for other nations competing in Euro 2020. Since 2018, the pragmatism of Southgate’s World Cup semi-finalists has come to the fore: they are prepared to win ugly, even if a squad packed with attacking prowess suggests otherwise. If we're being honest, the 12-month postponement of Euro 2020 may have even worked in England’s favor, too, as so many young Lions have received a year’s extra education before the big tournament. Mason Mount and Phil Foden have developed into legitimate superstars, Reece James looks like one of the best fullbacks in football and this new "Golden Generation" may actually be better than the last. Could the stars align? We haven’t seen a crop quite like this for some time, and while England doesn’t quite expect to win it all, there’s plenty of serious promise.
Euro 2020 may be a bridge too far for Southgate’s squad, but their journey over the last five years shows they’re on the right track. If they can shake off the nation’s tag as perennial underachievers in football, then maybe, just maybe, this fucking thing is "coming home".
Croatia:
In the past three years, Croatia seen a generational shift occur within their national team – never an easy task for a country with so small a talent pool. The situation was hardly helped by Ivan Rakitic’s sudden international retirement last September; the midfielder following forward Mario Mandzukic and goalkeeper Danijel Subasic in saying goodbye to the national team in the aftermath of the sepia-tinged summer of 2018. Yet, still led by Luka Modric’s effortless brilliance, the perennial dark horses remain a strong outfit, albeit a little green around the edges. Some squad members have already shown great maturity in stepping up, particularly 26-year old Dinamo Zagreb keeper Dominik Livakovic, whom has between fantastic between the sticks, and 23-year-old former Everton midfielder Nikola Vlasic. Dinamo’s Mislav Orsic is still floating on air after his stunning hat-trick knocked Tottenham out of the Europa League. Most encouragingly? Manager Zlatko Dalic can also rely upon one player the wider European public has yet to meet: striker Bruno Petkovic. Similar to Olivier Giroud in many ways, the hulking Dinamo centre-forward offers Croatia an important tactical variant as a hulking in-the-box presence amidst a sea of pint-sized technicians. Yet more vital is that Modric, the quintessential captain, who is still playing at the highest level after yet another fine Real Madrid season, isn’t tired of wearing the famed checkered shirt. They'll go as far as his mastery, wizardy, incredible ability and undying passion for his national team will take them. This team is green, but by no means does that mean they're incapable of making a semi-finals appearance. Croatia’s group is extremely demanding because it contains two hosts (England and Scotland) and the reawakened Czech Republic, whose players increasingly recall previous generations. That being said, reaching the knockout stages should not be an issue. The fact that reaching the knockout stage is now the minimum expectation from the Croatian public is proof of just how far this team has come. The big names may lack their forebears’ name recognition, but the talent remains for them to go far.
Scotland:
Don’t let anyone tell you that international football is irrelevant and that representing your country doesn't matter anymore in the age of mega-contracts, "Super Leagues", "Champions Leagues" and endorsement deals. If they persist, point them in the direction of Ryan Christie’s post-match interview with Sky Sports on the night that Scotland finally ended their agonizing 23-year wait to appear at a major international tournament. For about two minutes, the Celtic star did his best to juggle obvious exhaustion, joy and sheer relief while the tears flowed down in his face in an abject display of patriotism that would make even the biggest skeptic struggle to watch without wondering who was cutting onions or who opened the window and let all this pollen into the room. This had been a long time coming. The night of their play-off in Serbia was about as ‘Scotland’ as it gets. Even though Steve Clarke’s side put in a confident, and composed performance against visibly shaken opposition; given the lead through a Christie goal that looked to be enough for victory, Serbian star and all-together disappointment Luka Jovic delivered a sucker-punch equalizer in stoppage time. Long-suffering Scotland supporters at home feared the worst. And, as it were, the Serbians pushed Scotland to the brink in extra time. But Scotland stood firm, then David Marshall secured legendary status among the Tartan Army with a superb save from Aleksandar Mitrovic's effort to settle the penalty shootout at 5-4. Back in Scotland, there was utter pandemonium. Football can’t do much to make up for a year of loss and sacrifice, but it has at least reaffirmed its status as the most important of the least important things. For one night, Christie & company gave their country the gift of a priceless distraction in a year when we needed it most. Scotland’s hard-fought win in Belgrade lengthened their unbeaten stretch under Clarke to nine games – their best run in 44 years. It hasn't been easy, however. Clarke and his management team have had to tweak their system along the way and injuries have forced some previously unheralded players to earn caps. Others have been forced out for resting on their old laurels (sorry Leigh Griffiths), while others have been handed opportunities based on merit and ability (hello, Lyndon Sykes). For all that qualification represented to Clarke, though, he’s too proud for his side to just make up the numbers this summer. They probably won't make it to the next round. They were handed a rough draw this time around and the Czech Republic is a tough out. That said, Scotland is going to fight until they can't anymore. It's what they know.
Czech Republic:
Back in England for another major tournament a quarter of a century after their incredible run to the Euro 96 Final, the Czechs travel to the UK with a buoyant mood and a settled squad. They’re unencumbered by expectation, and bring a team of promising young players and hungry internationals from Europe’s top five leagues, so another underdog showing is the hope for the nation's fans and for manager Jaroslav Silhavy.
Tomas Soucek – he of the granite forehead, man-mountain shoulders and elbows that can be thrown like boulders – and full-back Vladimir Coufal already delivered solid performances for Slavia Prague, but not even the most ardent Czech fan would have expected the level both have reached in West Ham’s excellent 2020-21 Premier League campaign, thus leading both players to capture the imagination and incite the excitement of a country who is beginning to believe this team may have what it takes Meanwhile, the Czechs’ best forward, Patrik Schick – on loan at RB Leipzig last year – has finally sorted out his future by leaving Roma for Bayer Leverkusen. The 25-year-old looks settled at his new club, and by mid-April he had scored 13 goals in 29 appearances for the German outfit. He'll be expected to lead the line, and from all appearances, looks prepared to do so, finally living up to the potential and expectations bestowed upon him at a young age. That being said, no Czech side has ever been about individuals, not even in Pavel Nedved’s era: even in a loaded team, with Karel Poborsky and Vladimir Smicer, the Czechs were more than a one-man show and played united, hard-nosed football, stoked more in pragmatism and a cohesive identity than individual moments of brilliance. Team spirit, tactical preparation, defensive organization and a well-balanced squad tend to trump all when it comes to the Czech squad. Boosted psychologically by their promotion to Nations League A, Silhavy’s troops also know what to expect in this group: they’d already beaten England in qualifying when they pipped Scotland to top spot in their Nations League division. Their football is unlikely to be beautiful, but they will be tough to beat, and with their would-be stars in top-form coming into the tournament, do not be surprised to see the Czech Republic make the knockouts as one of the best Third-Place teams.
