hiii! i was wondering if you could do a fic based on this yt video with charles?
https://youtube.com/shorts/33NhUYNKqu8?si=90BAJ_FLoZFkq9pa
I just think it's so cute and he would be so pouty about it. like when the guy in the video was like, "he needs to wear glasses , what a nerd!" i was thinking about reader going, well you wear glasses too amour. i just think it would be so fluffy and cute lol.
Ooh yes! But I decided that Y/N also wears glasses because I wear glasses, and I think it would be hilarious.
Nerdy Glasses?
Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Hispanic/Latina Reader
Summary: Y/N decides to show Charles her favorite holiday movie and his reaction is hilarious to say the least.
Warning: spelling and grammatical errors
A/N: i have never seen The Holiday but I have seen this YouTube short many times
Y/N turned on the TV and got comfortable on the couch.
“Mon coeur, it’s not even Christmas yet, do we have to watch this movie?” Charles asked.
“I didn’t see you complaining when I made you watch Exmas last night.” Y/N said, getting her Calvin Klein glasses to watch the movie clearly, sitting back down.
“Fine, put it on, amour.” Charles said, sitting beside her.
“Thank you, I will.” Y/N got the remote and set up the movie. She snuggled into Charles and it was all going well until he saw that Y/N was practically swooning over Jude Law.
“Is he really that good looking that this is your favorite Christmas movie?” Charles asked,
“I mean technically my favorite Christmas movie is The Santa Clause, but it’s cute.” Y/N said.
“Why? Is it because he’s British? I speak French, mon coeur, the most romantic language in the world.” Charles said.
“Ay ya párale, muñeco, im trying to watch the movie.” Y/N said, a few minutes go by.
“He’s not that good looking, I bet there’s something wrong with him.” Charles commented and Y/N stared at him.
“Like what, please tell me.” Y/N said,
“I bet the cameras make him look taller.” Charles said.
“Please, he’s literally your height, don’t even lie, you’re 5’11 on a GOOD day.” Y/N said.
“I’m 1.80m Y/N, you live in Monaco, learn our metric system.” Charles said.
“Oh shut it, you have no idea how big the states truly are, now shush.” Y/N said, turning back to the TV. They get to the scene where Jude Law says he lost his contact lenses.
“You see! He needs to wear glasses, what a nerd.” Charles said. Y/N turns to stare at him.
“Muñeco, you wear glasses when you’re on the sim. You own those thick black framed glasses too and you sometimes wear them out.” Y/N said.
“But this glasses are by choice, his are prescription.” Charles said.
“Oh so are my prescription glasses nerdy to you, Charles? Am i nerd because i wear glasses?” Y/N argues and Charles stammers.
“Of course not, mon coeur, I actually think you look really sexy in those glasses.” Charles attempts to save himself.
“Mm hmm.” Y/N said, not believing him.
“I swear, it’s kind of a turn on when you wear your glasses, especially with your hair up” Charles commented.
“You are such a guy, let’s just keep watching the movie, yeah?” Y/N said, Turing back to the screen,
“Yeah.” Charles said. Y/N then whispers in his ear.
“It’s a turn on when you wear your glasses too.” And Y/N pulled away to continue watching the movie. However, when the movie ended, Charles had a new appreciation for wearing glasses.
The End
Hope y’all liked it, I think it turned out cute, I’ve also been thinking I should make more headers like this for my other fanfics

esteemed trungles, i come with an important question. What is the best romcom to watch in winter?
ESTEEMED omg incredible. I don't think I've ever been esteemed before, so I'll do my best to live up to it.
SO I'm a little late on this question for Holiday rom-coms, but it's still winter here right now, and I love rom-coms. In no particular order:
The Holiday (2006) - Kate Winslet! Jack Black! Cameron Diaz! Jude Law! John Krasinski for some reason (he shows up for like three minutes)! Kathryn Hahn (also in the same scene as John Krasinski)! Also there's a little, itty-bitty A Knight's Tale reunion because Rufus Sewell shows up and so does Shannyn Sossamon, which I find to be very sweet. Jack Black is cute as Christmas and hot as breakfast in this movie, and he somehow did this straightforwardly sweet rom-com AND Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny in the same year. The man has RANGE. You get two romances in this movie, and I think the Kate Winslet one is much more of a high-budget Silver Screen romance while the Cameron Diaz one is much more a Hallmark Channel romance, which I think is great because I love both kinds of romances.
When Harry Met Sally (1989) - This movie is iconic, and I love it to bits. I always have it saved to my phone so I can watch it on literally every plane ride just in case I get stressed out. Meg Ryan is incredible in it as a neurotic and incredibly self-assured woman who develops a friendship with Billy Crystal's character over the course of about a dozen years. Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher play some hilarious supporting characters. This movie is also lovely in that the most dramatic character arc belongs to the male love interest. Like, yes, Meg Ryan's character also grows, but there's no change to her world view or her wants and desires because she's not hurting anyone with the way she navigates those things, and Billy Crystal's character grows into someone you could imagine having lunch with, a far cry from when we first meet him. It's also very well-written. I downloaded the script just so I could pick it apart and learn from it.
Single All the Way (2021) - KATHY NAJIMY AND JENNIFER COOLIDGE ARE BOTH IN THIS MOVIE. I don't know what I was expecting, but this holiday rom-com charmed the thermal socks off me. Michael Urie and Philemon Chambers play best friends who fake a relationship so Michael's family will stop badgering him about there being no romance in his life. It's a fake dating movie, and it is also a delightful subversion of the Hallmark romance. Michael Urie escapes his big city life back to his small hometown where he meets an extremely hunky local spinning instructor (lol) played by Luke McFarlane, who is a literal mainstay of many actual, literal Hallmark romance movies. It's great. I enjoyed it immensely.
Moonstruck (1987) - Cher and Nicolas Cage star in this movie, and it's sort of difficult to describe. It's very funny, and it's heightened by how every single actor plays their character with the seriousness of a prestige drama. Olympia Dukakis and John Mahoney are also in this, and they're both delightful. I still occasionally yell, "I lost my hand! I lost my bride!!!" out loud at random intervals in the year. Keeps my loved ones on their toes.
While You Were Sleeping (1995) - This movie is a charmer and a half! Sandra Bullock stars as a lonely woman who works at the L in Chicago who falls in love with one of the passengers. One day, he falls victim to an attempted mugging and falls onto the tracks. Our heroine saves his life, but he winds up in a coma. A series of misunderstandings leads his entire family to believe that she's his fiancée, and polite shenanigans ensue (except in the case of one testicle-inspection, which might be regarded as pretty impolite, but it's very sweet in context). I also find Bill Pullman extremely blandsome and regular-looking to the point of being sincerely erotic. I don't know how this happened.
And I think that covers my wintry rom-coms! I watch all of them year-round, but these ones all vaguely take place in the winter-time and sometimes have a little bit to do with the holidays season.

I have to much time on my hands AND Can't stop thinking about Jurdan. So if your reading this and it's full of mistakes l apologise l blame the boredom, we should all blame the boredom... and the fact l diden't pay much attention in English class.
"That blue FACED FERAL HARPY, l'm going to visicarate her and entombed her so FAR below the tower of the forgotten. She won't even have insects to keep her company." Jude flung the queen off the chess board, without so much as a glance at the chess piece. That shattered a magical vase that dare be in it's way and embedded itself into the wall, like a knife.
His darling nemesis truly could make anything into a weapon.
"What was Oak thinking, putting himself in danger like that and forming an alliance with her of all people." Jude raged
"Beloved, Alliance is a strong word… Given his intentions"
"He could have come to me- no, should have come to me. He is the prince of Elfhame and the future king… Does he trust me so little."
She said
“Would you have let him go?”
“NO but thats not the point.”
“Well l think” Cardan said as he moved his rook “as a member of your family it would be strange, nay! concerning if he were to bow so easily to authority. It would almost be like breaking tradition.” he reclined back, eyes a little hooded and with that mischievous smile, she loved.
“Look we still don't know enough about his relations with her. From what Madoc and our little spies said. It seems there is something there and for all we know they could just be playing rough.“
Jude answered that with a glare
“She's kidnapped, imprisoned, AND bridled him.”
Jude replied in a slow skeptical monotones voice
“Maybe this is their courtship, and a full invasion and annihilation of your future sister in laws troops will only make holidays more awkward.”
“She is NOT my sister in law and l know what your thinking but they are not the same as us. Again She's kidnapped, enslaved AND BRIDLED him. He's probably being tortured as we speak scared and alone.”
“Wellll… it depends who's doing the kidnapping and enslaving…. The bridle however is a bit much for my taste, we would need a safe word.”
“Cardan!”
She knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to distract her for a little from worrying about her baby brother.
“All l'm saying is maybe he's not so scared and alone and in fact might not appreciate the little assassin on it's way to turn her blood to slush.”
“So you suggest…” Jude looked defeated, Even though she corned his queen and was two moves away from winning.
His heart ached at not being able take away at least some of her pain and anger for a little bit and his voice softened as his hand reached out for hers.
“That we give young love it's chance to bloom. If that's what this is… and if it's not, then rain iron and fire over her and her army.”
“I- l lied to Oriana”
Judes confessed her eyes drowning in tears. She would not let them shed
“ l promised; l would protect him.” her voice breaking even though she looked as hard as stone over the board game her gaze lost on the dancing silhouette of their intertwined hands. The crackling of the fire filled the room as Cardan came to her side and gave a soft kiss to the inside of her wrist and scarred finger before scooping her up and reposition themselves on her seat. Just basking in the moment of warmth before the morning came.

I'm pretty sure there's meant to be an embargo on press discussing Ripley until the 4th, but this Danish reviewer appears to have jumped the gun a bit.
Aesthetically pleasing series with chilling Andrew Scott is a welcome alternative to the summer vacation-ready movie adaptation of Highsmith's thriller.
(English translation below the cut)
By Kristian Ditlev Jensen
Ripley is the title of Steven Zaillian's adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's recurring character Tom Ripley, who is the protagonist in five of her psychological thrillers.
The first book is the magnum opus The Talented Mr. Ripley, which has been adapted into several films. Most famously, the 1999 version starred Matt Damon and Jude Law.
The story is about a young conman, Tom Ripley, who hustles his way through life, but one day gets mistaken for someone else. He seizes the opportunity and gets the offer of a lifetime from Mr. Greenleaf, an elderly shipyard owner.
"Go to the stunning Amalfi Coast in Italy and find my son Richard Greenleaf. Persuade him to come home!"
In Italy, Tom quickly finds Dickie, as he is simply called. But instead of bringing him home, he murders the man and assumes his identity.
In a formidable double-cross, he fools everyone by pretending to be both Tom and Dickie when it suits him. All goes well until a police inspector from Rome starts to smell a rat. And soon the hunt is on for the perpetrator.
The journey takes them via Sanremo, Palermo in Sicily, Rome and Venice. But the the criminal is always gone, even though the policeman is actually sitting and talking to him!
Anthony Minghella's feature film is good, but it's also a legitimately summer-holiday-ready, box office-targeted take on the story of a con artist and low-life con man. Now this version finally gets competition from a far more uncompromising, over-aestheticized and visually astonishingly harmonious work, starring Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers) with warm charm and icy creepiness.
It's not every day you see such a well-designed series, where everything from the dramatic choice to shoot in black and white, to the typography, to the production design of interiors and costumes is thought out down to the last detail.
"The light. Always the light."
The line comes from a Catholic priest standing just behind Tom Ripley, who is looking at a Caravaggio painting.
Michelangelo Merisi, as the Italian painter was originally known, took his artist name from the village of Caravaggio near Bergamo. And it was he who coined the art term chiaroscuro - or clairobscur in French - in the years around 1600.
The term refers to a painting technique where dark and light are contrasted so that the images almost appear as black and white paintings.
Steven Zaillan - who wrote the screenplays for Schindler's List, Awakenings and Gangs of New York - has just modeled Ripley on the painter Caravaggio, who lived a dramatic life to say the least.
In 1606, Caravaggio stabbed pimp Ranuccio Tomassoni in the thigh with a small sword, causing him to die from the blood loss. The painter lived on the run for years before being pardoned by the Pope, but died immediately afterwards of a fever at the age of 38.
This story is on every level behind the series.
Ripley is shot in black and white, i.e. modern clairobscur, just like Caravaggio's own works. It's also about a criminal on the run and a murderer.
The story goes on and on.
In a key scene, there is a cross-cut between the historical Caravaggio sitting at a table with the murder weapon, a short dagger, and Tom Ripley sitting with a fountain pen in front of him.
In the twentieth century, you could kill with a pen. Today, you'd probably do it over the internet.
The whole analog universe that Steven Zaillian revels in - the series is set in the 1960s, while the novel was published in 1955 - is a stroke of genius. It allows him to work sensually with a wide range of things that seem to have disappeared today.
There are phone booths and people write notes to each other with pens. The typography is almost a tribute to the printed media in the form of newspapers, books, writings, signs, stamps, letterheads, patches of text, forms, checks and so on.
Similarly, shoes are a little story in themselves. And drinks. And ashtrays. At the same time, the declaration of love for the Amalfi Coast is so authentic it makes you dizzy.
The fact that the series is shot as something of an homage to the black-and-white king of them all, director Orson Welles, doesn't make it any less impressive. With a wealth of indirect and direct quotes from, for example, The Third Man, where the play of light and shadows on the walls of the stairwells play a major role.
Ripley is a rare true work of art on Netflix.

Okay tbf it’s not technically christmas anymore but it was when i wrote the first bit so let’s just pretend :) also i am writing more businessman!joel but it’s taking my brain 5eva to think of it so please enjoy this <33
just because it’s christmas… BnBowner!joel and recentlysingle!reader who has already paid for a non-refundable trip for christmas. (apologies because i change from 3rd to 2nd person)
tw for cheating, a half second of nsfw(there will be more if i continue it) moments of angst, uncooperative suitcase, no use of y/n, not proofread
reader who just got broken up with who forgets they have a non-refundable trip booked in a cutesy cabin in a hallmark town, the “perfect place for couples” until they get an email confirming their arrival time and then all of a sudden the very real and very non-refundableness of the trip was brought to the forefront of their mind.
You aren’t quite sure if this is a good idea. But the last thing you were sure on ended up to be cheating on you for over a year, so maybe being unsure was a good thing.
The owner wasn’t lying when he said it was secluded, it was literally in the middle of nowhere. Perfect for a romantic getaway -hopefully also perfect for wallowing in your ruined relationship thanks to your piece of shit cheating ex-boyfriend.
You haul your suitcase up the snowy path towards the cabin, thankful that the cab was even able to make it this far, and for a moment you feel exactly like Amanda in the holiday and who knows? maybe you’ll meet an upsettingly handsome man. Maybe.
Probably not.
-
Joel watches from you from the porch for a little longer than he probably should before striding over to you, arm outstretched, ready to take your bags.
“Hey! i’m glad you found your way here, it’s not the easiest place to find.”
You look up from your uncooperative suitcase to lock eyes with perhaps the most attractive man you’ve ever seen (including Jude Law with glasses on) walking towards you and you’re so taken aback that you are definitely not prepared for your suitcase to start cooperating which in turn sends you flying into the snow.
Apart from it doesn’t, so you’re a little confused when you don’t hit the cold ground but are caught by a pair of warm, strong arms.
“Easy there, I’m happy you’re here too but you could’ve bought me a drink first.” Joel jokes as he sets you back on your feet.
“omg i’m so sorry it’s this stupid suitcase that refuses to move when i want it to i mean it i’m really sorry this is so embarrassing and i..” You trail off when you realise that Joel is in fact laughing. “what?”
“Nothing darlin’ you’re just the first person to apologise to me for the actions of an inanimate object, s’funny is all.” Joel holds out his hand for you to shake “incase you hadn’t figured it out, I’m Joel.”
You bashfully take it, pretending that hearing him call you ‘darlin’ hadn’t affected you in any way shape or form “Nice to meet Joel, you have a beautiful cabin, it really is magical.”
Joel’s hand is large, and warm, and a small part of you wants to feel more of his warmth. Maybe more than a small part.
He easily takes your bags the rest of the way, making light conversation with you, even though you’re still taking in him, responding with short answers and ‘hmms’.
He’s a rugged man, you think to yourself, he’s big all over, large frame, large hands. Your eyes dart towards his crotch for a moment wondering if he’s also large there. Something inside you tells you he is.
“Well here we are doll, let me know if you need anything” Joel puts your bags down just inside the door, the cabin really is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, you feel a pang with the knowledge that you specifically picked this place to spend time with your boyfriend. All you wanted to do now was forget about him, but apparently Joel could sense the singleness off you.
“Oh! where’s this boyfriend of yours, you did book for two, right?”
You freeze as he says ‘boyfriend’ debating whether it would be better to make up some elaborate lie or tell the miserable truth.
“We uh, we actually broke up a few days ago… turns out he’s not the kind of person i wanna go to a cabin with.” you eventually mumble out, followed by an unhappy laugh - mainly because you feel like you’ll cry otherwise.
“Aw shit darl, I’m sorry, and i know i’ve only known you all of five minutes but it’s definitely his loss.” A warm hand gently clasps onto your shoulder as Joel looks towards you with kind eyes.
You allow yourself to take the moment of sympathy from this kind stranger, before composing yourself.
“Thanks, Joel. I guess the only thing i need is directions to the nearest place that sells alcohol.”
“Of course doll,”

Okay guys, I can’t just sit and wait for Dreamwork to make the Rise of the Guardians sequel. I just can’t. This movie has been keeping my spirits up since I lost my beautiful little pup, Chloe.
She was so young and was suffering to a lung disease and died a few months back. I’m still mourning her loss, but am slowly getting back into my old grove. One movie in particular has been my anchor since then, Rise of the Guardians. This movie gave me hope (no pun intended) for the future. It’s almost like I have an emotional attachment to it. That is why I can’t let it sit and rot in the dumpster. I want to come back, fresh and clean and ready for the whole world to see. I thought, if Dreamworks won’t write a brand-new story with the holiday Avengers/Guardians of the Galaxy, then I will. So, I turned on my computer and wrote out a sequel idea and want to share it with you:
So, this sequel will be inspired by the early concept art that was done for the movie.
The Guardians will look the same as they did from the film, but they will have more book accurate origins and settings. The cast will remain mostly the same, except Jack Frost and North. Look, I LOVE Chris Pine, but I didn’t feel that his adult voice fit the young 17-18 year old winter boy. Like TMNT Mutant Mayhem, he will have a teenage actor to voice him. Along with this, I casted David Harbor as North. Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law will return as their old characters! Now, I was on the fence of adding a new Guardian in the mix. I enjoy reading Jack Frost/Original Characters just as much as you do, but I sometimes feel as though the new characters need depth or just need to be on their own for themselves to grow. That is why I decided to use a pre-existing character from the novels, Emily Jane AKA Mother Nature.
A bit of background, she is the daughter of Pitch Black, is Mother Nature and is known for being mysterious and unpredictable. As I was designing her for this sequel, I was stuck on making her a Goddess type character who serves as healer for the Guardians or an unpredictable, to-be villain like Jinx from Arcane. If you guys have any suggestions on Emily, please write me. I would love to hear your thoughts. Anyhow, Jamie Bennett and his group of friends (Cupcake, Monty, ETC.) will return, older and ready to help out their newfound friends! Since Jamie Bennett’s voice actor is now an adult, I will have a younger actor take his place. Now, it’s time for the nitty gritty…story and setting.
When watching ROTG, we get a scene where Tooth explaining to Jack Frost how each Guardian’s past is linked to their center. In between the conversation, North says, “You should have seen Bunny!” and laughs. Bunny’s expression hardens as he corrects him, “Hey, I told you never to mention that!” Don’t tell me that his response had didn’t have you raising an eyebrow. There’s another scene in the rising climax when Bunny shouts at Jack after he becomes invisible due to the children not believing in the Easter Bunny anymore. After he yells, he composes himself, “Easter is new beginnings, new life. Easter’s about Hope and now it’s gone.” See in the books, Bunny came from a race of powerful rabbit warriors known as Pooka. They had incredible abilities and were one of Pitch Black’s greatest enemies. When Pitch became evil, he sadly dissolated the population, leaving Bunny as the very last Pooka. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you will see his origins in this sequel.
This sequel will be cut into two acts - Act 1 and 2. There will be flashbacks interwoven when a main plot line ends. The first act will be set in Burgess/The Pole, Tooth Palace and the Warden, the locations from the first film. The second act will be set in an underground nightmare city that sprits such as the Groundhog or the Leprechaun go to collect and trade trinkets they encounter on their journeys. This city is ruled by Pitch Black and Emily who is working with him to find and defeat the Guardians. The city’s design is inspired by Knowhere from GOTG, Silco’s Nation of Zauhn (I believe I’m spelling that right), Pitch’s underground lair and the Coraline house location! You will see MAGIC!!
Finally, Score and how it will be written!
The score is complete! As you may know, I use specific music scores and songs that create a rhythm/plot line so when one goes to listen, they have an understanding of what will happen! Well, I have completed the score! If you wish to listen, here’s the link!
Now, how will I write this story???
This might have been the hardest decision! See, I was debating on a fanfiction or a script that will be posted on Wattpad when I get time to finish my other works! I was really struggling with the idea! I asked my dad who actually works in the film industry! Then, I though, “Hmm. If I wrote a fanfiction, it might just be treated as a silly fanfiction. I want it to feel genuine.” So, I decided on a script. Besides the fact that I write fun scripts for my class and have knowledge about films, I though I could structure things out! It would be easier!
Well, that’s it! If you have any ideas, let me know! Comment, ask, whatever!! The world is your oyster! Thanks for stopping by and reading! I’m just a fan of this movie and want to see it succeed! Remember:

What holiday traditions do you think R + M would do together? (i.e., Christmas movie marathon, baking, etc.)
This is such a cute ask! Let's say RM live in New York while SS have stayed put in Rhode Island (though Sum wants to move to Manhattan). Both couples usually travel to Newport for Chrismukkah but Julie and Kirsten are both sick so everyone's staying put. Usually Sandy and Kirsten host festivities at their house where ugly sweaters are required, complete with cookie decorating (and eating), a movie marathon consisting of Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life, and some Hallmark for good measure. They also light their menorah, which Seth says they only ever light once or twice and not nine like they're supposed to. They usually tell him to stuff it, Sum the most of course.
But I think in the weeks leading to Chrismukkah, Marissa loves making pies. She starts with pumpkin and pecan for Thanksgiving and moves on to lattice apple before attempting a meringue for a chocolate pie closer to Christmas. Ryan takes it all in stride, rushing to the store at 9pm on nights she runs out of ingredients, and brings slices to his co-workers. He always gets her something from Tiffany for Christmas but it's not always jewelry so he's always trying to top it every year (Sum helps).
Christmas day starts by watching Breakfast at Tiffany's in bed ("I'd marry you for your money in a minute" they used to watch this together before they actually did get married), walking their dog in Central Park with hot chocolate that Ryan's started perfecting, eating grilled cheeses and tomato soup for lunch (another Ryan creation), watching The Holiday (Marissa finds Jude Law AND Cameron Diaz hot), having sex, and eating a braised roast for dinner complete with Marissa's mac and cheese. Marissa acquiesces about watching Die Hard after dinner (she says it's not a Christmas movie, Ryan says it is; and they watched Tiffany's so who is she to say what's appropriate on Christmas!). As for gifts, Ryan gave Marissa her Tiffany teapot in the morning and Marissa gave Ryan a really old and UK-exclusive Journey vinyl as well as an engraved watch (it marks the day they met in 2003). In the weeks leading up to Chrismukkah, Marissa dropped a bunch of hints about wanting a really bougie stroller for their dog when she walks around the city. Their dog is a toy poodle named Buttons they're both obsessed with but Ryan wants a dog he can run with. So they agreed Marissa would get the stroller and they'd start looking around shelters in the days after Christmas for a big rescue dog.

wip (amnesty) wednesday
it’s that time again! (honestly i’m amazed i remembered this) here’s another fic idea that’s wasting away in my plot folder. it’s also ridiculously long, so be prepared to find a novel under the cut.
today’s wip amnesty is an au for the film The Holiday (starring kate winslet, jack black, jude law, and cameron diaz) featuring julie/reggie and alex/luke. enjoy!
chapter one
the Molinas own a successful vineyard (maybe a few?) in Napa Valley and Julie lives in a small cottage on the property and - even though it's been almost a year - is still sort of hung up on her ex-boyfriend. her best friend, Luke (who works at the vineyard alongside her and is a big hit with the tourists) is constantly telling her she's better off and if it were up to him, he'd marry her in a heartbeat.
(it's not up to him because one, Julie has never seen him as anything other than like her own brother (which she already has one of anyway) and two, Luke's gay)
she keeps telling him everything is fine and he doesn't have to worry about her, but Napa is unfortunately a smaller town than she'd like it to be and therefore everyone finds out that her ex is getting married before she does and despite her best efforts, she goes into a bit of a tailspin.
Julie decides (without telling anyone, including Luke because she's pretty sure he'd try to talk her out of it) that she's going to take a few weeks off and go somewhere else for a change. she hasn't taken more than a day or two off in years and she's fucking earned it. only problem is, she doesn't know where the hell to go.
she doesn't want to go too far from home so she decides that she'll stay on the west coast, but given that it's winter she decides that she'd much rather go south than north and so she ends up looking for somewhere in los angeles - a place she's always sort of wanted to visit.
meanwhile, down in los angeles, Alex is arguing with his best friend, business partner, and fellow composer Reggie for the umpteenth time about work. or really, not so much their work but more so the fact that Alex doesn't know how to take a break. ever.
Alex insists (just like he always does because they've had this argument a dozen times over) that he does in fact know how to take breaks and Reggie's just being ridiculous, but this time Reggie puts his foot down. he tells Alex that they're both taking time off - he's even gone so far as to give their employees two weeks off as well - and to make sure that Alex actually does take time off, he's arranged a getaway for Alex up in wine country.
this, of course, does not sit well with Alex at first. but Reggie shows him some photos of the little cottage that's actually in a vineyard and even Alex has to admit it looks nice and relaxing. maybe Reggie's right: he could use a vacation.
but once Alex arrives at the vineyard (after a very long drive) he quickly discovers that there's nothing to fucking do here except drink wine. he likes wine well enough but he's not interested in touring the vineyard, nor the dozen other vineyards around Napa, so he's absolutely miserable by the end of the first day and grumpily decides that he's going straight back to LA first thing in the morning.
however, that evening he's startled by loud banging on the front door of the cottage and someone shouting to let them in. Alex is absolutely not going to do that but the person at the door is insistent - "JUUUUUULIE LET ME IN C'MON I KNOW I SAID LAST TIME WAS THE LAST TIME BUT PLEEEEASE DON'T MAKE ME WALK HOME" - and finally Alex opens the door and is suddenly face to face with a very attractive (though very inebriated) man.
"you're not Julie…" Luke says as he slowly blinks and shamelessly looks Alex up and down. Alex stutters as he says "obviously" and after a bit of bickering back and forth, he ends up letting Luke inside so he can use the bathroom.
Alex has no intention at all of letting Luke actually stay, but Luke ends up charming his way into getting Alex to agree to let him sleep it off on the couch. he tells Alex that he got a little carried away at the last tasting of the night with a group of older ladies who were an absolute blast to chat with and Alex probably snorts and makes some comment about how Luke probably could've shacked up with one of them.
"nah, they're not my type." "what, too old?" "too… y'know." Alex doesn't know. Luke elaborates. "too female." he snorts and shakes his head. "that sounds stupid. i like dick," he says bluntly, and Alex chokes on air. "what? you asked."
Alex is reduced to a blushing, stuttering mess. he's suddenly acutely aware that it's been a ridiculously long time since he last got laid and Luke keeps looking at him in such a way that gets him hot under the collar, and he hasn't felt that in ages. Luke, despite his drunken state, seems to know exactly the effect he's having on Alex and turns on his charm even more.
within an hour, they're making out on Julie's sofa and when Luke asks Alex again if he can stay the night, Alex agrees with far more enthusiasm than before.
chapter two
when Julie arrives at Alex's place in LA, she thinks she must have the wrong spot. she checks and double-checks the information (after seeing a text from her ex-boyfriend and deciding not to answer it) but she's exactly where she's supposed to be. even so, she's surprised that the code actually works on the keypad to unlock the front door.
the house is tastefully decorated but still feels extravagant compared to her modest cottage, and Julie squeals in excitement as she quickly starts running around and poking her head into every single room of the house, exploring the whole place and thinking to herself that she must be the luckiest girl in the whole world.
what she doesn't expect to find in one of the rooms is a music studio, let alone someone inside it. she shrieks in surprise and Reggie shrieks right back before he starts apologizing for scaring her. he'd gotten carried away on his final project before his vacation - or staycation, as he likes to call it - and had lost track of time. he definitely meant to be out of Alex's house before Julie was due to arrive.
Julie's relieved to discover that she's definitely not in the wrong house and it's a delight to put a name to a face - as Reggie was the one she set this whole arrangement up with in the first place. he gives her a bit more information about the house itself and the neighborhood as she walks him back to the front door, and he even suggests a couple places she could order food from for dinner, if she's interested.
she thanks him for the suggestions and says maybe she'll try some out, and after he leaves she curses herself for not asking if he'd want to join her for dinner. when they'd emailed, she totally expected Reggie to be - at the very least - a middle-aged man or something. she didn't expect to ever meet him so she never even considered that he'd be hot.
later that night as she's settling into bed, her curiosity gets the best of her and she checks the message from Nick again and while at first she gets a little thrill that he's wondering where she is, it fades away immediately when she texts back and he doesn't respond. she tells herself that it's because she's six hours late answering, but she has a sinking feeling that even if she'd replied two minutes later he still wouldn't have answered.
when Alex wakes up the following morning, he tells himself that he's still going home today (even though it's already far later in the morning than he'd like to have left). hooking up with Luke last night doesn't change the fact that coming here was a stupid idea and he wants to go home. he goes into the kitchen and finds Luke already in there making coffee, and for a moment Alex is struck with a thought that makes him question his entire plan - maybe I should just stay here… with Luke… - but then he pushes it down and gratefully accepts a cup of coffee when Luke offers it.
Luke asks what his plans are for the day and Alex blushes a little when he says that he's going back home, feeling awful when Luke's face falls. he covers it well enough and makes a joke about the night before and how he hopes he didn't discourage Alex from wanting to stay. Alex insists it's not him - "last night was amazing!" - blushing more as Luke smiles at him, but rather that this wasn't a good idea after all.
"well, if you change your mind, I'd love to give you a tour of the vineyard," Luke offers. he says there's no pressure, and that he hopes Alex has a safe trip (maybe he says "flight" and Alex corrects that he's driving, he hates to fly. Luke gives him a weird look but doesn't press, it's not his business) home. he leaves and Alex feels a strange pull in his chest to kiss him goodbye, but he doesn't. he gets back into his car and drives out of Napa Valley, but he's second-guessing himself the whole time.
he gets as far as the junction to 680 but as he gets onto the highway Alex can hear Reggie's voice in his head, he can see the look of disappointment on his face that he'd get if Alex came home early. and then he sees Luke's face and god he wants to kiss him again already.
so Alex takes the next exit off of the highway and pulls into a gas station to argue with himself for a good half an hour or so before he finally makes the decision to turn back around and drive back to Napa. once he's back at the cottage, he agonizes again over going to the tasting room to see Luke, and by the time he makes a decision he ends up getting there right as it's supposed to close for the night. Luke spots him and smiles widely, both of them feeling relieved to see the other again. even though the tasting room is technically closed, Luke opens a couple of bottles just for him and Alex.
they end up stumbling back to the cottage, both extremely wine-drunk, and fall into bed together again. even if they don't get any further than making out and attempting to take off each other's clothes before they both fall asleep, Alex is still very glad he came back.
chapter three
having spent her first night in LA ordering takeout from one of the spots Reggie suggested and finding out it was delicious, Julie decides that for lunch the next day, she'll go to one of the other spots in person. it turns out to be much farther from the house than she expected, and navigating LA traffic is slightly worse than she expected, but she's pleased with herself for managing to find the place and get a parking spot.
she's staring up at the menu trying to decide what she'll get when she feels a tap on her shoulder and turns to see none other than Reggie standing behind her in line with a wide smile. she lights up as she says hello and how nice it is to see him again. she tells him how much she enjoyed one of his other recommendations last night so she thought she'd try another today, and he smiles as he tells her he's glad to have helped.
she then asks for his opinion on what she should order, and eventually they end up sitting at a table together while they wait for their food. he asks what else she has planned for the day and she looks a little sheepish as she admits that she hadn't gotten that far yet. she says she might just go out to the beach or something, maybe do a couple touristy things, stuff like that.
Reggie suggests a handful of things she could do, if she's looking to go the touristy route. they all sound pretty ridiculous but when he talks about them, Julie can't help but imagine the two of them doing it all together. she musters up the courage to ask if he'd want to be her impromptu tour guide, "if you've got the time, I don't want to keep you if you have work or something!"
he agrees with a bashful laugh, saying he's actually off this week since Alex is away and he hasn't done any touristy things in ages, so he'd love to go along with Julie. a swell of pride and excitement fills Julie's chest and she has to bite her tongue to keep from squealing.
that afternoon they end up going to the beach in Santa Monica and he shows her all around the Pier and Third Street Promenade, and before they eventually part ways they swap phone numbers and Reggie promises to come by in the morning with an even better itinerary for tomorrow.
waking up with a hangover is never easy nor is it fun, but it's remarkably better when it's next to a hot companion. Luke's warm and solid next to him, and when Alex shifts around to face him, Luke opens his eyes with a smile and a groan. he's a little better off than Alex, but only just.
he goads Alex into kissing him, swearing that having sex is the best hangover cure. Alex doesn't believe him for a second, but having Luke touch him feels so good that he doesn't argue. afterwards, Luke suggests that maybe today they don't drink. Alex jokes "what else is there to do at a vineyard?" and Luke laughs, telling him that he's got a few ideas of other stuff they could do.
they end up going into town, and Alex is surprised to discover that Luke seems to know literally every person they pass by. and all of them seem to love him. he's sweet, he's funny, and his smile just radiates happiness in a way Alex is positive he's never seen before in his life. apart from Reggie, he's used to the fakeness of LA and Hollywood and everything that goes with it. he sort of feels ashamed of the way he's forgotten that not everyone is like that.
Luke catches Alex staring and asks if he's alright, and Alex covers it up by saying that maybe his hangover is still messing him up. Luke offers up his own place, since it's closer than the cottage, saying Alex can have a nap on the couch. Alex agrees.
when he wakes up a little while later, he can't find Luke. he's nowhere to be found inside, but then Alex hears music coming from outside. he ends up finding Luke sitting under a tree in his backyard, strumming a guitar and singing softly to himself. Alex doesn't recognize the song, because in spite of his profession, he doesn't listen to a whole lot of music on a regular basis. he's used to his and Reggie's own compositions, which are beautiful in their own way, but there's a depth to hearing Luke sing that throws Alex for a loop.
he waits until Luke's finished the song to go outside, not wanting to interrupt and risk Luke becoming embarrassed. as it turns out, he's more than happy to play another song if Alex wants, and Alex definitely wants. he ends up laying down next to Luke, his head resting close to Luke's lap and he closes his eyes as he listens to Luke continue to sing and play for him, feeling more at peace than he ever has in his life.
later on, Luke offers to make dinner for the two of them and before he gets started, he puts on some music. "I can't cook without music!" he says with a broad smile, and Alex just laughs. he totally expects Luke to put on some cheesy love song or something, but to his surprise the song that plays is a beautiful piece of music with piano and strings - and Alex recognizes it immediately.
it's one of his own compositions.
Luke explains that he listens to this soundtrack all the time - "the movie sucked but the music is incredible" - and Alex just stares at him open-mouthed until Luke realizes that Alex hasn't said a word in the last five minutes and he asks if he's okay. Alex sheepishly admits that he's the one who wrote it and Luke loses his mind.
they spend the rest of the night talking about music.
chapter four
Reggie's plans involve taking a celebrity bus tour which ends up being the most ridiculous tour Julie's ever been on in her life. Reggie's constantly whispering in her ear, correcting what the guide says and adding more information so Julie is overcome with giggles the entire time. they also go to Hollywood Boulevard (TCL theatre, Madame Tussauds, etc) and take all sorts of silly photos and it's the best day Julie's had in a long time. (not even getting a text from Nick halfway through the day can derail it, though it does make her frown for a little while as she once again grapples with the decision to answer or leave it alone.)
to make it even better, after they've gotten hot dogs at Pink's (because Reggie insists it's an LA institution and they have to) Reggie says that he has one more plan for them, but this time it's something that's not a tourist attraction. Julie's intrigued and asks for more details, but he insists it's a surprise.
he takes her to K-town, and when they end up in an alley behind a hotel, Julie starts getting a little nervous. Reggie swears it's not what it looks like, but Julie continues giving him increasingly unsure looks even after her ID is checked by a bouncer. they're led into the building through what looks like a freezer door and Julie thinks yep this is it this is how I'm going to die, but then suddenly they're in a bar (break room 86) with TVs lining one wall and cassette tapes covering another.
Julie can't believe her eyes. Reggie nudges her with a smile, saying "see? I told you it was worth the surprise." they spend the night in one of the karaoke booths with a revolving door of friendly (and drunk) strangers, belting out song after song and having an absolute blast. but there's a moment after they've just finished a duet where they were sharing a microphone, where Julie thinks kiss him.
but she doesn't. she turns away and finishes her drink, telling herself to calm the hell down. later that night, when Reggie's dropping her off at the house, there's another moment where she thinks they might be about to kiss again, but instead he just smiles and tells her good night. she tells him the same and once she's inside, she presses her back up against the door and groans softly, thinking "I should've just kissed him."
the week passes by in the blink of an eye, and suddenly it's Alex's last night in Napa. as badly as he wanted to leave the first night, he's now faced with the realization that he doesn't want to leave. he wants to stay with Luke, but he can't. his whole life - his career - is in LA. and like, yeah, the past week has been some of the best days of his life but he can't help but worry that maybe it's partially because it was a fleeting thing.
who's to say that what he and Luke have would actually last past tomorrow?
but when he looks at Luke and thinks about leaving, there's an ache in his chest that he can't ignore. he tries not to think about it too much, and they both do their best not to bring up the fact that this is their last night together. they go out for a nice meal in town, but when they come back to the cottage it's like there's a storm cloud hanging over them.
Luke's the one to break first. "LA isn't that far away," he says. "it's only an hour flight from SF." he rolls his eyes when Alex winces, saying that he could fly down since he knows Alex hates flying. "you'd do that for me?" Alex asks. "of course," Luke replies, the sincerity in his voice making Alex's heart ache even more. "why?" "because…" Luke shrugs. "I… I love you."
this rocks Alex's world. "but you don't even know me?" and Luke laughs a little, because is that really true? sure, he hasn't learned everything about Alex in the last week, but he's learned more than enough to know that Alex is special and it feels right to say he loves him. he tells Alex that he doesn't have to say it back, he knows it's a lot and it's fast, but he couldn't let him leave without telling him.
the two of them curl up in bed and Alex curls into Luke's side, and then he asks if Luke wants to know why he doesn't fly. Luke says yes, of course he does, and Alex tells him about his ex-boyfriend who was in a plane crash years ago and didn't make it. Luke stiffens, obviously not expecting something that terrible, but Alex just holds him closer. he tells Luke about how he hadn't realized it til now, but flying isn't the only thing he's been avoiding since Willie's death. he's been avoiding love, period. but spending this week with Luke reminded him that life's about so much more than just work.
"that soundtrack you love so much, I wrote it when Willie and I were still together," Alex tells him. Luke's mouth twitches with a smile, "I just told you I love you and now you're telling me that music was inspired by your ex?" Alex laughs and pinches him, explaining that he wrote it when he was in love. his music hasn't exactly suffered since then, but he doesn't think anything he's written since has been as good. he's been searching for that inspiration, "and now… I think I might've found it. in you."
Luke kisses him, cradling Alex's face in his hands as a few tears roll down his cheeks. "I wish you didn't have to leave," he whispers. "me too," Alex whispers back. "but we'll make it work, right?" Luke laughs and agrees. neither of them know how, really, but maybe it won't be as hard as they think.
chapter five
on Julie's last night, she invites Reggie over for a home-cooked dinner as a thank you for being her guide to LA over the last week. he accepts excitedly and brings wine, though he's very insistent that he knows nothing about wine so he hopes that what he picked out won't offend her very fancy wine knowledge that she must have since her family owns a vineyard.
she assures him that what he brought is just fine, and their meal is a delight. Reggie insists on helping clean up the kitchen, saying it's the least he can do, and Nick chooses then to text Julie again and this time, she can't hide the frown on her face when she checks her phone.
Reggie asks about it and Julie ends up telling him about her ex, saying she came down here to get away from him because he's engaged to another girl and didn't even have the decency to warn her, but here he is texting her like nothing's changed! Reggie sympathizes with her and offers a story about one of his exes who once stole his socks - but only one from each pair. "who does that?!" he cries as Julie laughs.
they abandon the cleaning in favor of drinking more wine and swapping more terrible ex stories, which results in even more laughter between the two of them. when Julie's phone lights up again with another text from Nick, Reggie suggests she should just block his number. Julie sighs, telling Reggie she knows she should, but she just can't. Reggie then steals the phone out of her hand and proposes that they send him a selfie to let him know that he's barking up the wrong tree.
Julie's laughing as she tries to get her phone back, crawling on top of Reggie in her attempts but he continues to hold it just out of her reach. he insists that this will deliver the message she really wants to send him, and eventually Julie agrees. it's then that she realizes she's laying on top of Reggie, but instead of letting her climb off of him, Reggie hooks his arm around her waist and opens the camera to take a selfie of the two of them.
but just as he snaps the photo, he turns his face and kisses her cheek. Julie blushes immediately and when she turns to look at him, he's staring back at her with wide eyes. he stammers that he's sorry, he doesn't know why he did that and he should've asked first, but Julie presses her mouth to his in a kiss instead.
they make out for a little while until Julie's senses come back and she pulls away, climbing off of Reggie and apologizing for her behavior. "I'm leaving tomorrow, I shouldn't be kissing you, I'm so sorry!" Reggie laughs a little and admits he's been wanting to kiss her for a while, which makes Julie blush even more. they look at each other and kiss again, but this one doesn't lead to another makeout session.
"we shouldn't," Julie murmurs. Reggie sighs, running his hand through his hair as he clicks his tongue and then, out of nowhere, he says "you know… I've never been to Napa." a smile creeps across Julie's face and Reggie wiggles his eyebrows. "are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" Julie asks with a wry smile. Reggie stutters a little, his face turning a delightful shade of pink as he says things like it's just an idea and I totally understand if you don't want me to come, but Julie surprises him once again with a kiss and tells him she'd love for him to come to Napa.
Alex wakes up impossibly early the morning of his departure. having already packed up his suitcase the night before, all he has to do is change his clothes and slip out of the cottage. he doesn't want to wake Luke, because he's not sure if he'll be strong enough to actually leave if he physically has to say goodbye.
he puts his suitcase in the trunk and glances back at the cottage, his heart twisting with pain as he thinks about Luke waking up alone. he forces himself to look away, to get into the driver's seat and start the car. he gets as far as putting the key in the ignition, but he can't make himself go any further. he slumps against the steering wheel and tells himself he's being ridiculous.
but at the same time, he feels like leaving is wrong. he shouldn't be running away. he's spent the last number of years running away, hiding out and throwing himself into his work so he wouldn't get hurt again. this is the first trip he's taken since Willie died, and it almost seems like this is Willie trying to push him into being happy again.
Alex leans back in his seat and breathes out a laugh as his eyes well up with tears. just stay, he says to himself. take a chance for once in your life. in a flash, he's clambering out of the car and running back to the cottage, not caring one bit about the noise he makes as he throws open the door and rushes inside.
he finds Luke still in the bedroom, but he's sitting up with his head in his hands. when he lifts his head to look at Alex, it's clear he's been crying. he sniffles and wipes at his eyes, asking Alex with a watery laugh what he's still doing here. Alex pauses for a moment, letting out a soft laugh of his own as he says "did I mention that Reggie and I own our company? so… I don't have to go back to LA."
a smile spreads across Luke's face as Alex takes another step closer to the bed. "I could just stay here for a while. though… Julie might object to me taking over her cottage, so--" Luke leaps off of the bed and into Alex's arms, peppering his face with kisses as he tells Alex that he can stay with him for as long as he wants.
Alex takes Luke's face into his hands and kisses him hard, both of them laughing with relief as they cling to one another. they stay silent for a minute or two until Alex clears his throat and murmurs "...I should probably call Reggie and tell him I'm not coming back to LA today." Luke snorts with laughter and says yes, you should. "and then we should spend the rest of the day in my bed." Alex blushes and kisses him, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Reggie gets the call from Alex when he and Julie are sitting at the terminal at LAX, and when he sees Alex's name on his screen, he turns to Julie and is like "I knew I was forgetting something!!" Julie laughs as he answers the call, and they both swap their news. Reggie laughs as he tells Alex "okay, see you later, I guess?" and Julie asks what's so funny?
"Alex is staying in Napa," Reggie explains as he slips his hand into Julie's. "so you'll get to meet him." Julie studies Reggie for a moment and asks where Alex is staying, because "he's not staying in my cottage…"
Reggie explains that he's staying with Luke and Julie bursts into laughter and shakes her head. "of course he is." she makes a comment about both of them finding a happy ending as she leans over and kisses Reggie, who happily kisses her back.

Have you seen the leaked scenes from DWD? Harry with long hair, beard and glasses looks so weird (?) or another scene he’s wearing a blue sweater and glasses/beard he looks like a weird version of Jude Law In Closer/The Holiday. 🥴
That's probably where she stole the look.

'Few films are as ravishing and effortlessly stylish as Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr Ripley, the glorious 1999 thriller which sees the likes of Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman swanning around ’50s Italy. Friendships are forged through deception, obsessions develop, jealousies arise and the net slowly closes in on our titular anti-hero – and all the while, the fashion, courtesy of costume designers Ann Roth and Gary Jones, is sensational.
There’s exceptional menswear, of course – louche shirting, perfectly tailored suits, Gucci loafers and signet rings, as worn by Law’s Dickie Greenleaf and then Damon’s Tom Ripley, as he adopts his former friend’s identity – but the two sartorial scene-stealers are, undoubtedly, Paltrow’s sweet-natured Marge Sherwood and Blanchett’s gregarious socialite Meredith Logue.
The former’s uniform of crisp white shirts, tortoiseshell headbands and floral midi-skirts have since become synonymous with laidback summer holiday style, and symbolise her youthful exuberance and naivete. Then, as the seasons change, the plot takes a darker turn and she grows suspicious of Tom, she begins covering up – firstly in sumptuous knits and then, as the story takes her from southern Italy to Rome and then to Venice, sleek trenches and a showstopping leopard-print number with a matching hat.
This incredible fashion legacy poses a challenge for Ripley, Netflix’s upcoming, Steven Zaillian-directed retelling of the Patricia Highsmith classic, this time starring Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn. Filmed in luminous black and white, in place of Minghella’s sun-soaked palette of pastels, it, perhaps wisely, takes an entirely different approach, with costumers Giovanni Casalnuovo and Maurizio Millenotti dressing its stars in more subdued and pared back ensembles – think artfully crumpled cotton shirts, dark tweed, Aran knits and boatneck tops which, for Fanning’s take on Marge, are paired with a slicked back low bun and minimal make-up. It’s simple, certainly, but also impossibly chic...'

December 2023
Advent tea.
A very well-designed poster in a wine store. A Christmas tree with red berries, nothing else. Gustav Mahler. A good therapy session providing clarity about the urgency of quitting my job. A guy with Ewan McGregor vibes guiding a handicapped/probably mentally disabled man: "This way, please!"
A long massage with lots of chest action. Even my jaw had a turn.
An evening at Rationaltheater with Raphael. Drinking for free. Getting to know new people.
Erotic voice messages.
I was super disappointed when Munich was snowed in and Christian couldn't leave his house to come to my concert. I felt a little lonely, I'd been looking forward to seeing him very much.
A very cozy Saturday, painting my nails while watching Christmas movies.
The choir concert was so much fun! My solo part wasn't perfect but it was okay. I eased into it and enjoyed the songs we sang together a lot. Afterwards I talked to Elke's husband about my business idea and he gave me someone's phone number. She is the organiser of Munich's foodsharing network and might have access to a lot of rooms in the city.
Waking up to pink stripes in the sky, almost like a frosty Aurora Borealis. The sun reflected on the walls of the houses, everything covered in a thick layer of snow. I loved the muffled acoustics caused by the thick layer of dry snow everywhere. I must admit, it was quite beautiful outside for a few days.
I finally found my orange beanie I hadn't seen in a while. Nice surprise: an earring I thought I'd lost was stuck to the hat!
Mushroom wraps for breakfast. Baking coconut cookies with dark chocolate. Using up all my veggies for brunch in bed with C.
Cameron Diaz and Jude Law's love story in The Holiday reminding me of my own.
An afternoon playing board games at Chili's with BaLu, Heinrich (who texted me afterwards), Robert and Luna. Helping Chili's son with his English homework.
Christian picked me up by surprise and we went to the cinema together! It was super cozy and we talked for a long time afterwards. I realized I have a hard time setting up emotional boundaries because I tend to take on people's problems and try to fix them even though they have nothing to do with me.
I framed my new Serifa poster while C. installed my router for me. I loved it so much that someone took this task off my plate even though I could have done it myself and I felt like a spoiled princess.
When C. said that he really liked my colour palette. My taste, what I'm wearing and combining.
Drying my bedsheets on the heater. So quick and warm.
A very calm and joyful day. Wild dreams with C. sleeping next to me. A shower while he worked. Cooking lunch. Spending some time together harmoniously. A nap. Connecting with friends in the dim light of the lava lamp. A walk to the wholefood store late in the evening with the crisp crunch of the icy snow under my steps. The first Christmas lights in the windows and gardens. I was the only customer in the store. Such a blessing for my nervous system. Alone time, one on one time, no crowds. I realize that this has been missing in my life over the last few weeks and months.
That freaky little moment when the three of us invented the dance move "smell all available armpits" at Joy of Connection.
When the kids gave me a chocolate Santa after I told them that the neighbours got a visit from St. Nick and I didn't. And when I taught Nino a few notes of the Flohwalzer.
A phone call with C. Listing random animals. Thinking about Janosch's blind mole. Talking about our insecurities.
Researching Napoleon's letters to Joséphine. November 21, 1796: I am going to bed with my heart full of your adorable image… I cannot wait to give you proofs of my ardent love… How happy I would be if I could assist you at your undressing, the little firm white breast, the adorable face, the hair tied up in a scarf a la creole. You know that I will never forget the little visits, you know, the little black forest… I kiss it a thousand times and wait impatiently for the moment I will be in it. To live within Josephine is to live in the Elysian fields. Kisses on your mouth, your eyes, your breast, everywhere, everywhere. I want to write a letter like this for C. and send it via snail mail.
Asking my friends for classical music playlists and boy, they delivered right away.
Manu showed up in choir practice again! And we sang Breathe, a song I love a lot.
Lucie's yoga class, like every week. It's really helpful for my body and mind, especially when I'm angry and on edge like these days. I feel so relaxed and calm after the movement and singing. We did partner exercises the other day. Nice touch!
Waking up early and energized, in the mood to meditate. It's been a while!
Lying in bed in underwear, blow drying myself. The warm air flow felt nice.
A nice outfit composition. Green pants and a black sweater with a pink shirt and socks underneath. Pink lips, gold and black accessories, my burnt orange beanie.
Attending the Kinky Insiders party with C. I met Lukas and Neil, watched many couples in fascination, was left alone in the dark room with the circular bed. An interesting experience.
Long psych talks upon waking up, not wanting to leave the bed. Beautiful oral edging. An unusually long and intense climax.
Robert and Yeli came over and we cuddled, went for a long walk through the forest (R. and I held hands and fell over in the snow face down), made delicious hot Christmas chocolate and Lebkuchen.
R. and C. installed my new Marshall speaker for me! It still feels wrong not to do it myself but I feel so cared for when I let somebody do a task like that for me. Oh, and lovely sound, too. Good choice.
Elegant nude manicure with tiny rhinestones.
A little Burner meetup at the Christmas market. I bought a very pretty ring that reminds me of the Bauhaus logo I have on my sleepy shirt.
Monday morning check-ins with my friends. I felt like socializing, initiating contact with people I don't hear from too often at the moment.
Binaural beats as white noise.
The 21 days meditation challenge I started with Christian and Yeli. I did it first thing in the morning and wished I'd had more time because it usually takes me around 20 minutes to even calm down my thoughts. Right afterwards I drew Osho cards, asking what could help me to be more in contact with myself. And they delivered: Comparison (shadow) and Creativity (light).
When I noticed the words Keep the fire burning at the top of a building I pass every day one morning.
Kiwi gold.
A 44:44min meditation and an hour-long massage on a bad day. Talking to C. on the phone. The feeling that he is showing up for me.
Active, or rather, subconscious problem-solving during meditation. And waking up realising that all the problems you'd been dreaming about that night aren't real.
Spending two nights at Christian's place. Simply postponing going home indefinitely. The long, intimate talk we had before I took the pregnancy test. The little tear she shed when he realized how much he trusts me. I was so nervous and incredulous when it was positive but he was there for me, talking it all through with me.
Throwing salty popcorn over hazelnut crunch ice-cream at movie night. When Charlie the cat came in and let me hold him for a while. Sleeping in fresh bedclothes. Meditating together in the early morning.
A little Christmas get-together at Heinrich's apartment: Grocery shopping with Luna. Coming up with a yogic animal pose challenge with David and including Frank and Chili. Ben in a good mood, talking about his crochet projects. Gentle contact dancing with Tafara. Making Heinrich chase after a little bell on a Santa hat.
One of the most beautiful moments of my life: hugging Christian in the dark living room after we'd both smoked a little weed. The connection I felt was so intense and my mind was flooded with beautiful feelings, thoughts and visuals. I was so grateful to be there, realizing what a coincidence it was that we'd met. Björk's Unison (a song I'd already reacted to strongly when he was DJing at a Joy of Connection event) was playing and in that instant it seemed like the beautiful piece of music playlists ever written. The lyrics seemed so poetic and spot-on. I reflected on the year 2023... What a wild ride. One hand loves the other, so much on me / Let's unite tonight, we shouldn't fight, embrace you tight, let's unite tonight / I thrive best, hermit style, with a beard and a pipe, and a parrot on each side; but now I can't do this without you / I never thought I would compromise
Opening a brand new box of oil pastels. Playing around with a few colours during my break to calm down. In the zone. Being pleased with the results. Not only me - some colleagues and students kept staring at my drawing, noticably intrigued.
Christian's birthday. Getting to know some of his friends. Playing with their cute children. My perfect presents. Bathing together. Cuddling with Charlie the cat the next morning, bare feet on frosted ground in the early sunlight.
The Vespertine album by Björk. So incredibly multi-layered. We have a recurring dream: Every time we lose our voices, we dream we swallow little lights. Our mother and sons bake for us during the night; they do a little trapeze walk until they're in the sky right above our heads. While we're asleep my mother and son pour into us warm glowing oil. Into our wide open throats. I have a recurring dream. They make me feel better.
A very cute baby so fascinated with me that it followed me with its gaze and even stretched to get a better view of me.
Weirdly enough: my OBGYN confirming my pregnancy. Observing the tiny blob on the ultrasound monitor together.
Heinrich providing me with mushroom and broccoli sandwiches for dinner when I picked up the bag I'd forgotten.
Unlocking a memory of the ice skating rink in Landshut. The sour candy worms from the vending machine. The smell and the completely destroyed floor, cut up by generations of ice skaters. The little dwarves and penguins they had to push around on the ice. My dad tying up the skates. The breaks during I've hockey matches.
Feeling very comfortable at Uli's second Naked Party. So many lovely friends and sexy people. Sneaking Ansgar in who had a great time. Painting Katharina's naked body (it turned out absolutely beautiful). The moments alone with Felix, Robert, Christian, Lukas, Mike. Dancing in the kitchen.
Watching A Street Cat Named Bob with my students. Explaining the plot to them. Agreeing over his adorableness.
A gorgeous illustration of a water surface at night, a woman half-submerged amongst the moon and a few stars. My new phone background.
All these talks I have with C. How intense everything is. Romantic. Inevitable. I've never met anyone who is able to talk about his emotions like that. I'm not afraid anymore. Bring on the next level.
The macarons at the choir Christmas party. And Manu was there.
Sharing sweet and savory breakfast. Cuddling up to C.'s new baby alpaca sweater. Doing the doctor's visit together. Holding hands and each other.
Some luxurious Muji treats. A frankincense and myrrh candle. Socks in mustard yellow and plum. An umeboshi onigiri.
Walking out of the noisy gym on the last day of school. And Susan kindly offering to take over my break shift. A smacking low five.
And then I was sick and sad for a few days, going through hormonal change, depression and a stomach bug. C. tried his best to cheer me up but nothing would do. My plans to spend Christmas Eve with Manu and his family were cancelled. When C. arrived late that night I couldn't help but cry about it all. So why is this in the Things I Love list? I guess because it got better. I started laughing again. Feeling hungry. And watching You've Got Mail together helped a great deal, too.
Christmas chocolate porridge with crunchy peanut butter and fresh fruit.
Falling into each other. Spending too much time in bed. Making vision boards for 2024. Decorating a doll house. Playing a computer game together. Eating pancake soup at a village restaurant. Watching a Björk concert in the living room. A tour of the estate, chasing the kittens, a surprise bunker. Meditating together. The sunrise behind the forest in the distance. Being alone together. Writing little notes for each other. Making plans. Seemingly never running out of stories to tell. The big jar of juice he made for me in the morning.
On hosting guests: My favorite guests are the people who are excited, and I always try to remember that when I’m a guest. I love when I say, ‘Would you like wine or beer at dinner?’ and they’re like, ‘Ooh can we have both? Can we start with wine and then have beer?’ I appreciate people who are into being hosted and enjoy all the special stuff. ‘Do you guys eat ice cream?’ ‘WE LOVE ICE CREAM!!!!!!’ - Catherine Newman
Spending quiet days at home. Cooking and baking. Creative projects. Cleaning. Organising. Reflecting. Reaching out to people.
The Dragon is about change.
A new laundry detergent. Smells divine. And speaking of smell: getting some Byredo and Escentric Molecules sample sizes. I'm on a mission to find my new scent.
Ben said that I'm basically glowing each time he sees me and that my style is impeccable. Lovely compliment.
Loud karaoke in multiple harmonies with Fin, Mephy and BaLu.
A sharing moment with Fin who told me about her difficult health journey and the issues she's dealing with. I've felt a lovely connection with her and will reach out, offering my support and friendship.
Inspired by the Osho Zen card Compromise I started sketching a diptych of the two hands connected by their little fingers. In the morning of the last day of the year I felt inspired to make a painting with oil pastels and it turned out pretty wonderful. I love it when I'm unexpectedly satisfied with a creation of mine.
New Year's Eve at Filzhof. Getting to know some of Christian's best friends. Raclette and board games. Sparklers and a bonfire. Singing mantras together.

6 / 31 december writing challenge - holiday edition! ft. @sacriifice.
𝐆𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐒 : time spent with family, laughter, giving and receiving gifts.
milk and cookies placed by the christmas tree, luca was excitedly running around the house, jude imitating him every once in a while and making his sister and brother-in-law laugh at his antics. goeun on the other hand just adored seeing him this way.
in the morning, after santa had left the presents under the tree and eaten his cookies, drank his milk ( but it was really just jiro who did that ), everyone was awake and ready to go through the neatly wrapped boxes. luca was first to do that, excited with all of the toys and clothes he was getting ( not like he was lacking any of these that but still ). his favorite seemed to be a pajama set that goeun had bought for him ( and for everyone else ). pointing at both his uncle and aunt at that moment, luca laughed gleefully at how he will be matching with the two of them. everyone loves matching pajamas!
khloe and jiro were thoroughly enjoying their new matching pajamas as well. they definitely looked like an actual family now, especially on the pictures they took with khloe’s new instant polaroid camera. only leah was with a different one as she was too tiny still but she got plenty of cute clothes and accessories!
what took jude by surprise was jiro giving him his favorite guitar. it was one that must have held a lot of memories, granted it had traveled all over asia and even outside of it. not only jiro but also other members of his band have used it too. it was an honor, really. with the brightest smile, jude sat next to goeun and and strummed the guitar to get the feel of it. he knew what songs his girlfriend loved and decided to sing a little medley, a couple songs that were favorites to everyone in the room. this month was filled with so much joy and singing, that jude was sort of starting to miss playing in his band. perhaps, he'll use the guitar to serenade his girl even more from now on.
#sacriifice#╰ ♡ . 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 › ❪ december challenge '23 ❫ .#╰ ♡ . 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 › ❪ jude & goeun ❫ .#well that's sort of mixed but kjlsdfsa

Omg yes they need to play sisters again! I bet your friend was shocked hahahah. I remember spotting random celebs in London constantly it was normal, but always kinda "👁👁"
I'm glad your uni wasn't part of that terrible movie 🔫 🥑 statute?! Photos please?!
Every time someone mentions obsessed fans on Twt or even directly shade certain accounts, some people come at them with the "omg you're jealous" "leave them alone, they support Ateez" "you should be grateful for their photos/videos".... shut up, please. Guess we're not dedicated enough, bestie, cause TRUE fans wouldn't mind travelling through 5 countries and seeing them 15 times in a row
True true the Black Prince guy was an Usui wannabe... omfg I thought you meant Subaru from Diabolik Lovers - another cursed shit
Be my guest and use the line ahhahahahaah, because some foreheads are empty 💔 Wait what day passes on Webtoon? I can still binge-read most things, unless they're finished
It would be sad if this was Loona's end, but they've been mistreated for a long time and maybe they'd be able to come back somehow. If not then at least they'll be free
Also the Korean coach getting a red card? What's going ooooon. England beat Wales 3:0 another war within the United Kingdom nation lmao. Also poor Iranian players, they were forced to sing their national anthem otherwise they'd be tortured???
The funniest thing is Soohyuk isn't even old enough to be Seonghwa's father like??? 😭 But he looks very mature so I get it
You gotta watch Holiday (I would kill for Hwa as Jude Law's character AU 🤲🏻) and Love Rosie because what's going on Baeksy 💀 I genuinely do not remember watching The 5 Year Engagement, I know I did, but it didn't leave any impression on me </3 also I hate Chris Pratt aksgjayskayahbshahashnsna
I'M SORRY BUT ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON SEONGHWA'S PARADIGM COVER I'M GONNA KISS HIM ON HIS LIPSTICK SMEARED MOUTH. This is AK and vampire at the same time O_O I'm in danger. VAMPIRE DEVIL
They really make us pay so much for a regular plastic case... Idk why are Japanese comebacks like that. Mingi's photocards too... but I need to obtain all the Hwa's first 🙃
I also want to keep experiencing blonde Hwa, but he hasn't re-dyed his hair in a while so idk. I saw someone on my timeline tweet "I miss black haired Hwa" I'm about to block, I don't need this kind of negativity 🔫 But yeah better break all the scissors
Grandpa San is still alive?! I'm dying
Oh so it's your turn to dream, heh. Was he your driver as well?
I saw the EXO news and immediately thought of you Baek!
I'm???
This is the worst quiz description I have ever read, no joking 🔪 The only relatable things are my dyed hair and maybe daddy issues (though my mommy issues are stronger lol) and quality time 💀 Baek I'm traumatised. I retook it and it got better
HYUNA AND DAWN?! I'm so sad, but I hope they're happy. Dawn needs to enlist soon, so... 💔
