Your head was hurting, your ears were ringing, the loud sound of mechanics happening around you wasn't helping. You slowly opened your eyes, taking the time to look around you. It seemed to be like an elevator filled with supplies, food and even animals. 
Suddenly, the motion stopped in a loud thump before a red light started to flicker. You started to panic a bit, you were lost and couldn't tell how you arrived here. Above you, the ceilings opened and you thought you'd maybe have answers to your questions. 
The sudden sunlight blinded you and you had to cover your face with your hands. You took a minute to analyse what was happening, people were chatting and it seemed like they were surprised to find you here. Your eyes were finally adapting to the light and you were able to discover the faces of the boys above you. You raised your eyebrow, surprised to find them wearing these types of clothes you never saw anyone wear anymore. You were even more surprised to find yourself wearing the same ones. 
A man shouted, making you jump in surprise, and everybody stopped talking before a blond boy went down into what you heard was "The Box". You swore you heard this noun before. "Hi," the sandy-haired boy greeted you, holding out his hand for you to take. "Can you remember your name?" he asked with a quiet voice, it seemed like he was trying not to scare you. 
Your eyes widened when you heard what he said, maybe you never heard of The Box, maybe you read about it. You took a time to observe the blonde boy. "What is your name?" you asked back.
It couldn't be true, it didn't make any sense. "Newt." Your mouth fell agape as you heard his name. Was it possible to teleport into a book? You looked more carefully at the boy and recognized all the descriptions you used to read about. You thought you were dreaming and pinched your arm to make sure you were truly awake. You felt the pain. It was genuinely happening. 
After a minute you realised Newt was still holding his hand out for you and you finally grabbed it. When you were on your feet you took the time to look around you and saw four huge walls enclosing the square of grass you were standing on. "Welcome to the-" 
"Glade..." you finished Newt sentence with a smile on your lips. The gardener shared a horrified look with who you recognized as Alby. The later asked Newt to bring you out of The Box. 
Finally by everybody's side, you were contemplating the Glade, trying to find everything you read about. But before you were able to see more you felt someone grabbing your arm. "How do you know where you are?" Ably asked you. "What's your name? Why are you a girl?" he continued his questions more and more aggressively, visibly panicked. 
"Um... it's a little complicated," you saw Newt making a weird face when you spoke. 
"What's that accent?" he asked. He would be smiling if you weren't standing there when you shouldn't be. That's the thing. Being able to read in English was something, being able to talk without an accent was another. 
"French," you said shyly. You were grateful they could still understand you but you felt a little dumb, standing there, in the middle of boys who either seemed like it was the first time they saw a girl- well it was actually- or like they wanted to directly throw you in the Pit without thinking about who you were. 
"Do you know why you're here?" Newt asked and you shook your head. You loved the maze runner universe but it wasn't the best one Destiny had chosen to put you in. Your survival skills weren't the best they had seen.
The tall boy you reckon must be Gally talked, pulling you out of your thoughts. "That's not what matters Newt! How do you know where you are? Everybody forgets what they know when they come here!"
"I know," you said quietly, timid under Gally's gaze. It was legitimate to be freaked out by your weird arrival here. But the thing was you didn't know how you came here. You knew who they were, you even knew their future, this thought sent a wave of questions in your mind but it wasn't the moment. The last thing you remembered was reading a book. You dug into your mind to find an answer. Everybody around you was waiting for you to talk and you felt intimated. 
Apparently, Newt could feel it because he sent everybody- except the Keepers- back to their work. The boys walked you to the Council Hall, they all seemed lost in their own thoughts. You awkwardly took a seat in front of everybody and bent your head down, even if you knew them you couldn't help but feel shy as they all watched you attentively. Alby finally started to talk. "First question. What's your name?" 
"Y/n," you said, trying your best to hide your French accent, it wasn't the moment to lose credibility, you needed to be trusted.
 "How much do you know about here?" 
"A lot." 
"How is that possible?" 
"Um..." there was no way there were going to believe you, you didn't even believe your own words as you spoke. "Well- I don't know exactly how I came here but..." you tried your best to search every bit of information your brain held. "It will sound crazy, but... I-in my world you don't exist." The boys in front of you looked septical at your explanation for the moment. "I know you all but from books. In my world, the maze, the Glade, WICKED and all of you are just ink on paper." You shut your eyes, refusing to look at them for the moment, you were afraid that their faces would tell you they were going to abandon you in the Maze. "B-but I don't know exactly how I came here, what kind of magic bought me here but now that I am there, I may know the way out."
This caught everybody's attention and while you thought it was going to be an argument for you to stay and not be killed, it seemed like they feared your even more. "Really?" Alby asked. 
"Yes," you said. "In my world, your universe has six books and right now you are in the first one," you took a deep breath, omitting the explanation with the sequels and novellas, this part was going to be complicated to explain. "You guys escape at the end of the first book. I read it multiple times, I think I can help you get out of here." 
They didn't answer anything before Minho talked "How do I know if what you're saying is true?" 
"Ask me questions." 
"How are we getting out of here?" 
"We can't until they decide we will. WICKED modify the sections every day. In the books, they escape when a guy named Thomas and a girl named Theresa arrive here but they have a special link with WICKED." You went on and on about everything you remembered, Ben's attack, Minho's night in the Maze, the doors staying open at night. You hesitated on talking about Gally's being stung and decided that there was already too much information. 
They carefully listened to you, something asking you to repeat because of your French accent or demanding you to explain further some points. You didn't know for how long you talked but your throat was sore and you terribly needed to drink "Can I have water?" you waited for them to calm down and stop talking before asking your question. 
Frypan left the room to grab you a glass and other Keepers decided to finally leave the room. It was just you and Newt now. "Are you okay?" he asked, he genuinely sound like he cared and your heart missed a beat and you nodded. "I think you already know everything but- do you want to discover the Glade?" 
You nodded, this time with a smile on your lips, you couldn't believe Newt was standing in front of you. He was a character you loved and cared about so much, it seemed unreal. 
You just had the time to receive your glass of water before you started your visit. Newt still took the time to explain everything as he would do with any greenie. Quickly the night fell and you knew what was waiting for you. The bonfire. 
The idea made you smile and you started to think about Gally's drink, was the taste as horrible as you read about? You didn't have to think a lot because you rapidly found yourself with a jar between your hands. "C'mon Greenie," Newt said with a tipsy smile, "Drink." 
When the beverage touched your tongue you tried your best not to spill it everywhere. It truly tasted disgusting. "What's inside?" 
"Ah! They don't tell you in the books?" Newt smirked and you shook your head. "Then I won't tell anything. It's not like I know anyway." With your back against a log, you gathered your legs to your chest, resting your head on your knees. You breathe happily. 
You couldn't express the way you felt but it was a peaceful moment. The sound of Gladers having fun, of the fire and the burning wood. Newt's laughter. He was the best part of all this.
He was making you feel comfortable, you weren't nervous at the idea of recreating what you read when you were by his side. You had to admit you had to resist the urge to just hug him. He deserved a hug so much. 
"Newt?" The boy turned his head to look down at you.
 "Yeah?" 
"You know in all the books I've read about all of you? You're my favourite character." You hoped you didn't sound weird but judging by the way his smile soften you were almost sure he was flattered by what you just said. 
"Why?"
You felt warmth winning your cheek "Well, I think you're brave. I only know you from books but- after everything you've been through you're still kind to everyone." You unconsciously looked at his limp. You continued to talk about the comfort he bought you before your smile faded "You always try your best and- and I think you deserve a happy ever after. The best happy ever after." You felt your heart clenching in your chest as you thought about the ending he had.
Newt was looking at you with a gentle smile, touched by your words. It was a weird feeling to have a stranger understand you so much. You knew what your goal was now. It wasn't just to escape and join the Safe Heaven. You were going to save Newt.

The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.

Also, props to Allan???
He's a doll most people have never heard of. He got discontinued forever ago cause he was perceived as gay by consumers and they didn't like that.
But I love that he had an actual role in Barbie. He was very queer coded, yeah, but he didn't like when all the Kens turned to Patriarchy. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to abandon Barbieland all together. He knew it was wrong.
And then he helped the Barbies get themselves back. He had a pink jumpsuit and sunglasses and went out all stealthy to get the Barbies in the van. He even voted at the end to keep the constitution the way it was.
Big Allan fan over here.

atreides and bene gesserit
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing(s): dune 2 cast x actor!reader (platonic), austin butler x actor!reader
synopsis: requested by this ask!
⤷ alt: as clueless as you were about your sister's role, it brought you much surprise and joy to see her on the same carpet as you.
notes: reader uses fem pronouns as she's playing a role as a bene gesserit. reader is also described as wearing a sleeveless jumpsuit. and i really enjoyed lea seydoux's performance and hope to see more of it !! this is also COMPLETELY separate from the first two posts ive made since the readers r playing different characters yeah?
Tumblr media
When Denise Villeneuve asked you about the role of Lady Margot Fenring, you were genuinely shocked about his decision. You appreciated his works but have never gotten close to any of his sets before. You have worked with directors who've admired Villeneuve for his imaginative mind. And now, you witnessed his creativity in person for the first time.
The role was small and not as significant as the other main leads. Regardless, your character was just as enigmatic and complex as any other in the Dune franchise. Even though your time was short, it was a fun experience to learn and observe from. You weren't able to meet the entire cast after production, but with the NYC premiere, you were able to link up again.
You heard your name being called out. "Hello! How are you?" The well-known comedian and presenter by the name of Amelia Dimonberg was now beside you. In her jet-black corset dress, her style is chic and elegant. She hands you a microphone with the film's title plastered on it. "You look beautiful!"
"Thank you!" you sweetly recuperate, diverting your shoulders to the sight, cutely. You give a little pose before complimenting her own outfit. "You as well!"
"Do you have a memorable day on set that sticks out to you?" Amelia questions, subtly leaning toward your direction. And now you noticed her detailed eye makeup which enhances her outfit altogether.
"Well- I've had, like, only a few days," You let out a quick sigh. Truly it was nothing to be embarrassed about but you could not help but feel shy about it.
"Mmhmm! So all of them?"
"Yeah, all of them!" With ease, your shyness turns into giddy laughter as all you remember from your times on set. Recalling those tiny moments brought a small smile to your face. "Every day counted for me and that was enough."
"Oh absolutely!" Amelia chides, nodding in agreement. She quickly then moves onto the next question, "How long do you think you could last in the actual desert?"
"Oo that's a tough question," Lifting your fingers to rest on your chin as you try to contemplate an answer. "Ideally no- I feel like I could never recover from the heat."
"Yes yes, the heat's very intense,"
"Yeah- no I don't think I'd ever leave my house for that-" You shake your head nonchalantly, acknowledging how most of your scenes already were indoors. You could imagine how you would do in the desert of Abu Dhabi. It makes you appreciate the cast and crew even more for their effort to make filming more comforting and tolerable.
"Where would be your dream location to hang out? I'm assuming your home then since you prefer to say inside?" The blonde interviewer quickly catches on, eyebrows raising intrigued by your response.
Instead, you hummed bashfully, "Actually I think an oasis would be nice." The camera catches onto Amelia's face, fully fixated on you. "Which fits perfectly if I were to live in the desert actually!"
"Mm yeah, smart choice!" She responds more cheerily. "You can maybe go for a swim, you know-"
"Right right," You give her an playful look, "And you don't have to go thirsty!"'
"Absolutely, the best of both worlds," Amelia chirps, doing the same expression. "So this film centers a lot around dreams. Do you have vivid dreams of yourself?"
"Yes! I've uh- I've had many dreams of myself. I mean, this one, for example-" You turn to the camera, waving with the most adorable smile on your face. "'I'm living my dream right now!"
"You're living your dream right now!"
Tumblr media
In another section of the premiere, you were walking down the carpet for press interviews and photography. The set where the premiere was taking place was gorgeously made in the shades of black and orange, the perfect theme of the film. The entire venue was outdoors, allowing you to feel the cold air and be more at ease in the crowded space. There were more paparazzi than you had expected, and you suddenly became aware that you were alone. Without any friend or acquaintance to accompany by, you searched aimlessly for a familiar face.
Then there was a holler. And then multiple more came after, it made you confused really. Your head swerves to the sound of the person you so try to look for and immediately you're struck in awe.
"Anya?!" In an instant, you're seen running towards your sister in the far back of the premiere wall. People were reluctantly used to fast-paced relocations around the carpet. Therefore most did not mind your hasty stumbles through the crowd. It was almost comical how apparent your demeanor changed when you heard her, in fact, videos and pictures caught all of it.
"Hi!" She beams in her white dress robe. Her makeup was glowing, making her skin seem angelic, and sheer without impurities. Her outfit covers her like a nun, covering her head and body in almost transparent cloth. Yet it flows around her so elegantly, almost like she was an angel from the stars. She squeezes your figure firmly, only after releasing to gush about your appearance.
You adored a beige sleeveless jumpsuit. The color is complimented with tiny designs of sparkle. Its seams captured your figure perfectly, as you also wore a gold chain and bulky rings. From the lighting, it looks as though your outfit is shining. And to be completely honest, you prefer comfort over the judging looks of fashion critics. Therefore you wanted to wear something that you could still move comfortably in. Thus you were able to run over to your sister with ease.
Through the other lens and camera, they could pick up some of her words after. "You look so gorgeous! How are you here?!" Anya's expression changes into a perplexed one as she gets a hold of your shoulders, shaking them back and forth.
"I was invited obviously, "You said, mimicking her voice while holding onto her arms on yours. "You didn't tell me you were a part of Dune!" Viewers from afar could tell you were pushing an act, reacting as though you were petrified about how Anya managed to be here in the first place.
"I didn't know you were either!" She giggled, closing in on your right ear. Your sister whispers to you slowly, trying to withdraw from the camera and recordings. "Villeneuve had mentioned something but honestly I just thought it was a joke."
It was your turn to guff. Your mouth opens wide flabbergasted, looking sarcastically offended. "Why would you think he's joking?!"
Anya scoffs lightly, wanting to go further with the joke. "I don't know- I just didn't take his word seriously,"
"Why? Because you didn't think I'd make it into the film?" You accused, eyes widening with a hand over your heart. "You're so cruel."
"So cruel," She smirks up at you, then moves back to be by your side. You see her face forward the flashing cameras, as you do the same. "Come! Let's take some pictures!"
Tumblr media
"Your outfit looks beautiful by the way!" Anya Taylor muses, eyeing down at the fine details on your jumpsuit. "It's very... you!"
You give her a nod, before flattening some of the creases, "I thought this color was so exquisite, so I thought it would be perfect for the premiere." You lift your head to look at your sister, before realizing behind her, the upcoming stars of the film were getting ready to take cast photos. "Oh Anya- I think you should go!"
Your sister turns and then gazes back at you with a soft smile. "You should come with me!"
The thunder of cameramen and journalist blurred your focus for a moment. "Are you sure-"
Again the sound of your name is hurdled but this time from someone you haven't seen in a long time. Jessica Ferguson, who too wears a black body suit with veils and bold makeup. She waves her hand almost too eagerly to have you come closer alongside your sister. "Come, join us!"
Videos were filmed of the people gesturing to the cast of Dune in a line. Little by little, the row of people is filled and organized to be in the center of the camera's focus. Some actors had to move spots, due to lack of space or better color semblance on the other side of the row. You stood next to Jessica and Florence Pugh was beside your right, as you tried to stand closer for the picture.
Anya Taylor was on the opposite side, with Austin Butler and beside him, Timothee Chalamet. A noticeable clip taken all over was when the French actor went to greet the English actress, warmly, clasping her hand with both hands as a proper salute as on-screen siblings.
You did not mind the lack of attention. You were happy for Anya for achieving a great role. One with a welcoming cast and crew. It was then your eyes scanned down the row, from Zendaya to Stellan Skarsgard. Then to Austin, whom you've been familiar with since day one. Only him to find your gaze seconds later. You give a little nod and smile before averting your direction to Anya who is already staring at you with gleaming eyes.
Tumblr media
You were going back and forth with Jessica and Florence on your travels for a while. From plans reception to favorite desserts, all you three wanted to talk about was food. Paparazzi caught onto your banter quickly and snapped a few photos. You even went out of your way to do silly poses. Followed by Jessica and Florence, then did the same, sticking their tongues out in a rock star kind of fashion. You throw out piece signs, giving a dramatic frown as another flash happens.
Catch-ups were definitely refreshing and fun. Thus why you nearly jump when Austin appeared behind you.
"Oh my gosh, hey!" You stuttered, giving him a quick hug to calm your nerves. "You scared me!"
"Sorry sorry! I just wanted to surprise you!" He leans his head slightly, allowing better eye contact. You felt a few taps on your shoulder and noticed Jessica and Florence scurrying away, with their thumbs up, all goofy and excited.
Your eyes make it back to his. "I would've said hi back at the cast photo, but you were so far away," Shrugging you dismiss your failure as a mild missed opportunity.
But Austin shakes his head in an averted manner. "No- Don't worry about it." You could already sense interviewers and others with microphones closing on you two. You were out in the open, and it's bound to happen. "I wanted to- you know, say hi to you in a less chaotic place."
"I tried looking for you but there's just so many people," You give your costar an exhausted look. It was then a keen young man approached the pair of you. It was the People magazine, as you became aware of the logo alongside their camera and microphone.
"Hey, would you two mind a short interview for People's magazine?"
Truly, this was what premieres were about. The cast and crew meet with fans to show what they have worked so hard for. You brought you no better satisfaction than to praise everyone's efforts. The interviewer then proceeded to have a quick introduction of you and Austin beside you. You both had separate microphones in each hand. Once the video started rolling, you peered at the camera and gave the audience a grin.
"So how are you guys doing? Met all of your lovely cast members yet?"
"Oh absolutely," You emphasized every syllable, nodding. Austin only glances at you in amusement. "It's crazy how many people are here I was so overwhelmed!"
"Yeah, it was pretty crowded," The male actor adds, lowering his microphone slightly.
"Hopefully it will die down!" The interviewer beams. "So what was it like getting to know each other in this film? How was the first day on set like?"
"Oh, well it went very smoothly," You start, staring up at Austin in approval. "Even though my time was short on set, I feel like we had a pretty good rhythm starting out."
"I was about to say! The scenes with Feyd and Lady Margot were really something!"
"Why thank you, we appreciate it," Austin nervously laughs, scratching his ear.
The interviewer takes the lead to discuss your preparation for the role and how it was working with Villeneuve. As new characters, you and Austin both talked about your views on both of your characters. Both are very different yet mysterious to the viewers. Additionally, you two were introduced in a similar scene of the pit fight. The People's Magazine interviewer was compelled to compliment Austin on his opening scene. You knew he had practiced the choreographed fights vigorously. And of which you were lucky to witness on the days that you were present.
"It was completely freeing and different than what I was used to doing," Austin probes, leaning toward your direction. "Were you there for the pit fight?"
"I think I was," You turn, similarly. "I remember watching from afar and thinking wow." Immediately you could sense him eagerly looking down at you with a sly smile. "He was- Austin did amazing with the fight choreography, I was impressed!"
"Was this the first time seeing him in full costume too?"
"Oh yes!" You bonked your hand on your forehead, "He was and I just- couldn't believe it was him!"
Suddenly Austin jumps in, "She was startled when I first came up to her in full costume."
"You came out of nowhere, by the way!" You rebutted, giving him a side glance.
"I didn't mean to," As he tries to reassure his actions, "I wanted to give a good first impression!" It was humorous how playful you two were together despite having dissimilar filming schedules. Though most of your scenes involved Butler, your friendship only became more apparent weeks after working together. It was off and on for months at a time due to being busy in other countries simultaneously.
Eventually, you were able to link up again weeks before the premiere. After waiting a long time to meet up, you almost felt relieved that you hadn't seen your costar in a while.
"And Austin, how was filming with her?! From a character's standpoint, what kind of dynamic do you see playing out?" The People's Magazine interviewer perks up, having the camera transition from his face to Austin's.
"Well I'd say, she's great. You know I've got to meet a lot of amazing people in this film. And," He says your name sincerely, "She's- she's one of those people. I can't say much for Lady Margot and Feyd's relationship- you know there's a lot of that's still not uncovered. We don't really know what's happening but kind of have an idea of something. And to have such a great actress like her, it makes everything feel authentic and- feel the tension." It felt as if you were in a daze, eyes completely focused on his words with such admiration and grace. Before you knew it, you were smiling as if you had won the best possible prize in the world. His compliments to you meant more than you had anticipated really.
Unbeknownst to you, the cameraman had caught your lovestruck expression before directing attention back to the interviewer. "And how about you, Miss Margot?"
"I'd say it's the same," Now looking at the interviewer, only momentarily back at your costar. "Austin's- he's great at all the stunts and acting like a scary dude. Every scene with him was fun to do. Like he's all serious in character but once they yell cut! he's so nice and funny!" Your bubbly laugh breaks as you can feel your face growing hot.
"Well I appreciate you liking my humor," Austin pokes fun at you, fanning a little air towards you.
You mutter a soft thank you! before continuing, "And he's dedicated you know? I remember one scene, a little spoiler, where Feyd is about to be tested by Lady Margot, and I just couldn't do it! I couldn't keep a straight face!"
"Really?!"
"She just kept breaking, I don't know why," The actor shrugs, his attention closely drawn to you. "We had a few takes on a few days."
"We did! We did!" You gave a big frown, "You just have a really distracting face."
"Do I?" Austin asks, between the lines of teasing and coolly.
Tumblr media
By the time, other premieres had occurred, people were still focused on your interactions with Austin Butler. Your chemistry on and off screen on the carpet was hilarious. And with how polarizing your characters were, it made many clips of your shared encounters gain attention.
A few short videos were recorded after the People Magazine interview of you and Austin, bashfully talking behind the stage. The two of you went back and forth whispering in each other's ears about what was unknown to the viewer. Through a bird's eye view, the video also catches you hugging your arms before zooming in on Austin's placing an arm around your figure.
Another clip that had been reposted many times was when you both took duo pictures together. As you comfortably shift your weight on one leg, as you turn to have your side face the flashing paparazzi. Whilst the Elvis actor stands beside you at a pleasant distance, doing the same pose to the other side. There was one instance where you lifted your head to make eye contact with your eyes instantly brightening. As Austin's smile widened, only to blow air in your face.

you doing the tiktok bow trend with abby’s biceps. when she’s cooking you come beside her immediately start fumbling with her arm. she pays no mind to it and pushes her glasses up her face to get a good look at the food simmering in the pan. it’s the repeating sound and pink in the corner of her eye that catches her attention. she raises the highest eyebrow ever in confusion as to what you’re doing and your so focused on making the video as cute as possible and taking pictures. she can’t hold her tongue anymore. “darling, what are you doing?” you don’t answer and continue to take pictures; even giggling at them. her attention isn’t even on the food anymore it’s on your ignoring self. “baby.” she taps your phone camera and you look up “abby, i’m taking pictures/videos for my tiktok” “what tiktok?” she does the little air quotes in her head but you could hear it in her voice. you roll your eyes and shove the phone in her face causing her to lean back and adjust her glasses and she sees her wrapped bicep with lana del rey’s ‘let the light in’ playing over the video you were about to post to tiktok. she stares at it for a moment causing you to pop your head from behind your phone in curiousness as to what could be taking her so long to look at a 15 second video “sweetheart, you’re silly.” you drop your phone from her face giving her a pout and she laughs holding her stomach. you walk away shuffling and muttering something of “i’m never posting you to lana del rey again.”

I just saw the Barbie movie, and the fact that I saw so many posts prasing Ryan Gosling's interpretation of Ken but none about Margot Robbie's of Barbie this past few days says a lot.
So this is a Margot Robbie appreciation post, because I never thought I would shed a tear watching this movie.
Because I felt like crossing a very old friend I didn't remember, crossing a very old part of me I didn't remember. I felt connected to an experience every woman and designated female at birth person know.
Because I wanted to tell her "it's gonna be okay", as I would like to tell to child me, and she made me want to say "thank you" and "sorry" to the barbies which kept me company and those same I then rejected.
Of course the directions and writing of the movie are amazing, but this also conveys through Margot Robbie's interpretation, and it was beautiful.

i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!
the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh

for me, the way i viewed the conversation between the old woman and barbie on the bench is also a matter of confidence.
when you compare the barbies in barbieland and the old woman on the bench, they practically say the same thing ("i'm beautiful") but their confidence and the core and roots behind it is so different.
the barbies in barbieland are confident out of ignorant, they have nothing to not be confident about. they're made of plastic, they have no cellulite, no private parts; it's always perfect in barbieland, so their hair is always perfect, their clothes, their shoes, everything is perfect. there's no bad day, no prejudice, no standards that you can't be part of in barbieland. so when the barbies say "i'm beautiful", they say it because they're ignorant. the core of their confidence is ignorance.
but when the old woman responds to barbie with "i know" to the "you're beautiful" comment, the confidence she has has a completely different core than the barbies. the old woman is the antithesis of everything you should be in barbieland. she's old, she has wrinkles, crow's feet, white hair, no hair. she has all of these qualities that our society will say is not beautiful, is ugly that these are things you avoid with skincare, retinol, botox all these things. the old woman lives in a society where the mass will not view her as beautiful.
and yet she's still confident, she still says "i know" because despite what everyone says, what all the standards are, she knows she's beautiful. thousands of people can disagree and say she's not, it won't matter because she knows she is. the old woman is confident despite knowing.

➤ BARBIE CHARACTERS WITH A UNIQUE DOLL!READER request: how would barbie (margot) + ken (ryan) + allan react if the reader was not a barbie but also not a ken. basically they are just like allan, someone that doesn't fit in any of these binary roles.
margot robbie!barbie, ryan gosling!ken, allan
Tumblr media
margot robbie!barbie
barbie is — as she always is with new dolls — super excited for your arrival
when you do arrive, she’s quick to welcome you
she introduces you to everyone but especially dolls like midge, allan, skipper, etc
she assumes you’ll drift towards all the other one-of-a-kind dolls
and just kinda be with them most of the time
which is totally fine!! she knows there probably feels like theres a barrier between dolls like you and the regular barbies and kens
...but she secretly hopes you might want to spend time with her
which is partly why she's super enthusiastic the whole time she's showing you around
she wants to make a really good impression in the hopes of you liking her
she’d never mention it, but while she loves her role in barbieland, she wishes she could have a proper close friend that isn’t ken just trying to date her
her thought process is… you’re a unique doll and you don’t have any ties to any barbies and kens, you’re just you and you’re free to befriend or not any doll you genuinely want to!
and beyond all that logic, she just really liked you from the get-go!!
she likes everyone in barbieland of course, but there was just something about you that made her really want to be you friend (or more)
imagine her joy when you continuously go out of your way to spend time with her!!
she’s of course always so kind and bubbly to everyone
which could make you feel like she might not really want you around or sees you as the same level of closeness as all the other dolls (which isn't much)
if you mention that, she kinda freezes for a second before jumping into action again
“no, y/n, i love spending time with you! more than, like, anyone!!” 
“really? it just kinda feels like-“
“i’m serious!! you’re better than a bestfriend!!”
if you don’t have a house, you’re invited to hang around her dreamhouse whenever
within reason — if you spend too much time there she starts imagining what it would be like to live with you forever and freaks out
not in a bad way! she just has realisations of "oh i want to spend my life with this person and live in the same house as them" and that thought makes her short-circuit
goodness forbid you do something domestic like get her breakfast for her or brush her hair without her even asking
she'd be a GONER
also she does just like being able to be away from all the other dolls after a big day
so don't take it personally if she politely declines your invitation for a sleepover or she doesn't invite you to stay over one night
she just needs some alone time sometimes!!
barbie bends over backwards to try to convince the other barbies you should be invited to girl’s nights 
you can decide how successful she is with that, but the point is she tried really hard because she wanted an excuse for you to be around as much as possible!! 
in her walk & drive around barbieland every morning she says hi to you several times
the first thing she says when she wakes up is “goodmorning y/n!” 
then when you join her at her car she says hi again
she’s just so happy to see you
she says it again after a whole series or “hi’s” with all the barbies and kens on the beach
she hopes the other dolls might also pick up on her habit if they haven’t already and also say hi to you!
and if they don't she'll just pointedly say hi to you again so someone takes the hint
she is so invested in your wardrobe
if your style is some sort of diffferent/alt she is SO curious
she’d want to get new clothes for herself to match you style on special occasions
or special outfits for you to match hers
but she also loves it when you both wear your own clothes with your own personal styles!!
not necessarily because of the aesthetic contrast if there is any
but because she loves the authenticity!
you both being able to be yourselves and be together
and happy! so happy!! 
also these have all been kinda set pre-movie so brief spoiler warning for below
when her feet go flat you’re the first person she confides in
at first she kinda thought your feet might be flat? and the attribute rubbed off on her because you spend so much time together??
she knows now that that makes no sense, but it’s what she’d wished was the case
she also asks you about stuff like that
like she knows dolls like midge or some of the discontinued barbies have parts about them that are noticeably different from other barbies
and she’s curious about if you have something like that
ryan gosling!ken
ken isn't confused, per se, but rather doesnt really know what to do
are you invited to the barbies' sleepovers?
do you have your own dreamhouse??
is he.... allowed to pursue you romantically even though you're not a barbie?? is he meant to want to be with you like that if you're not a barbie??
(not in a sexuality sense, but in the sense of; he's ken, a barbie's boyfriend, and you're not a barbie so...? what now?)
if you have your own dreamhouse or some sort of other unique house, he is so excited and really wants to see it
but he tries not bring that up because he knows kens arent allowed in barbie's dreamhouses
so that probably means the same rules for whatever your house is, right?
now he's really confused
he tries to think if anyone's ever been in midge's house? because she's like you — one of a kind — so surely that'd mean the rules work the same with you as they do for her
he asks allan — because he's friends with midge — if he's ever been in her house before and allan's just like "?? what??"
ken did not get a straight answer
not because allan's hiding something or anything but ken was just all over the place and being really confusing in general & with his wording
when you do invite him into his house he is Shocked.
does that mean the rules are different for you?? or are they just like the barbies' and you're just like really nice???
he still doesn't have a straight answer
but he also stands at the door for a second like,
"okay what do i do now-???"
"you walk in ken... it's a door"
"wow...."
doesn't want to touch anything in your house out of fear of ruining/breaking something
but the moment you reassure him to "make himself at home" (the statement makes him so flustered and he swears he's going to faint) and he really believes you won't get mad at him for looking around, he is OFF
looking at everything
stars in his eyes the whole time
no matter if your house is a huge dreamhouse or something else like skipper & midge's treehouse
he thinks it's so cool & loves it no matter what
you're signed up for sleepovers with ken for the indefinite future now btw, you're never getting him out of your house
(if you do actually ask him to leave he is out of there at the speed of light but why would you ever wanna do that!)
he tries to remind everyone to always include your name in their daily "hi barbie!" "hi ken!"s
and then is torn between:
him wanting you to be included and not feel left out
and; his rival ken just said hi to you and he doesn't want that either!!!
he just feels so out of depth with you
not in a bad or personal way! just in general
because he doesn't really even have anyone to ask about how to go about things with you
it's not like there's many other unique dolls out there with particularly confused kens for boyfriends constantly overthinking everything
and also he's not experienced with relationships in general, and just wants to treat you right!!
he gets a hang of it though!!
with some help he realises he can just be himself with you and if something is genuinely bothering him he can just ask/talk to you about it
though he will have some wild out-there questions from time to time about your unique experiences
he'd ask allan or midge but both of them always look at him funny when he asks if they have mind-reading powers or something weird like that (and he's scared of skipper so shes also a no-go)
so that's your problem now!!
overall really loves you while also being very new to all this stuff and doesnt want to mess up
if he makes a big deal out of something seemingly little/inconsequential its because he really cares and want to do everything right for you 💛
allan
things don't happen suddenly with you and allan
there's no big burst of emotions or anything like it
it all just slowly builds up
ever since you'd arrived in barbieland you've spent a good amount with allan
standing on the sidelines at the beach watching the barbies play and kens cheer
sticking with eachother during parties
neither of you really realise it but you're with eachother like all the time every day
it had only started because you two were alike
being a unique doll that's neither a ken nor a barbie, there was only so much you could learn/do with following around one of the more welcoming barbies like a lost puppy
eventually you'd realised you didn't really like spending all day kinda just not fitting in with everyone else
and then you'd properly met allan, and things started to make sense
he showed you around barbieland his way
that included things like explanations of unspoken rules that all the other dolls had neglected to mention
and telling you about the other unique dolls/discontinued barbies
he gets what its like being your own unique doll
how different it is, how it can be hard to fit in and feel like you belong
but suddenly the two of you are alot less lonely because youve got eachother now!!
before you showed up allan's days were just floating around the sidelines of the kens' and barbies' activities alot of the time
but now more and more of his time is doing genuine hobbies and spending time with just you
also im a firm believer him and midge are friends so shes your friend now too!
group lunches together at her treehouse while everyone else is at the beach and its just nice and peaceful!!
SORRY im simultaneously spreading the allan & midge friends agenda while also trying to stop myself from spontaneously writing a midge x reader fic
i have no idea if allan has a house, you probably dont either
if you dont have a house — it takes a bit for him to be comfortable with it, but once he is — allan will totally invite you over whenever
and let you sleep over
if you do have some sort of house then you're probably at eachother's places an equal amount of time
if he doesn't have a house (yet again i have no idea if it was mentioned in canon at all) he's not like mind-blown by your house or anything like ken would be
but he's happy whenever you invite him in!!
allan probably knows whenever certain places in barbieland are relatively deserted
and once you're close enough he'll share them with you!!
(he wants to know he can trust you not to bring a ton of people and ruin the quiet atmosphere)
even though each unique non-barbie/ken doll is well... unique! there's still a level of understanding between you and allan
and if you ever feel insecure/like you don't belong, he gets it and he's there for you!!
things start slow with allan, until one day he's staying over at your house just enjoying eachother's company, and you realise wow, you guys are basically dating!

could u do doing regulus black’s makeup? 🫶🫶

YOU DIDN’T KILL ME - regulus black x gn! reader [0.407k] .ೃ࿐
Tumblr media
summary: regulus moves when you do his makeup
warnings: threatening to kill as a joke maybe (?)
navigation / masterlist / taglist 
Tumblr media
You didn’t have to spend as much time as you thought to convince Regulus to let you do his makeup. There was just something about the urge to put eyeliner under his sleepy eyes or gloss on his lips.
Regulus held your hips as you straddled his lap, holding his face with your hand while the other was gingerly applying the eyeliner on the outer corner of his right eye “Stop moving,” you chuckled.
Regulus huffed but still obeyed. You leaned back to look at him and you smiled, satisfied by your work. “Now I have to do the exact same wing on your other eye. If you move, I’ll kill you,” you said, trying to sound convincing.
At this, Regulus raised an eyebrow “You won't”
“I will, I swear.”
“Mmh” Regulus hummed with a smile on the corner of his lips. He watched amused as he saw your tongue poking out the corner of your mouth. You always did this when you were focused and he found it adorable even if he refused to admit it.
He tried his best not to move but when the brush hit a specific spot next to his eye, he couldn’t help but jolt, the eyeliner now ruined. “Reggie!” you groaned. It was perfect before he ruined it.
“Sorry,” he laughed but wasn’t really sorry because he loved to see the pouty look on your face. 
When you had finally wiped the eyeliner, did it again and Regulus didn’t move, your smile widened. “You look so good!” you said enthusiastically and you could see the light blush on his cheeks. You handed him a mirror “Look at yourself!”
Regulus observed his reflection and he had to admit it, he loved it. “You did a good job,” he smiled at you “Can you smudge it? Like what you do with the eyeshadow.”
“Sure.”
He sat there a few more minutes as you worked and when you gave him the mirror again, his lips tugged into a smile “Thank you, love. I like it,” he said as he pressed a kiss to your cheek.
“Also I was right,” he said.
“About what?”
“You didn’t kill me,” he said with a smirk.
Your eyebrows knitted together “Mentally I am.” You tried to be convincing but you looked more like an angry child.
He only had to kiss your lips to make the pout disappear “No, you are not. Now let me kiss you.”

It was so important to have Barbie look at that woman in the bus stop and tell her she's beautiful. Cause, like Barbie herself says, she (as an idea) doesn't have an end. As Stereotypical Barbie, she's meant to be pretty and fun and that's it.
But she shows that beauty doesn't end when you get old. Aging isn't the end of your story, just another phase of it. That old woman is beautiful, and it's good that she knows it.
That's why Barbie ultimately chooses to become human. She wants to experience that new and different kind of beauty; not just her physical appearance, but that of a life well lived. She wants scars and wrinkles and cellulite. Barbie's end is that she lives as a whole narrative rather than some eternal object of visual pleasure.

Could I make a request? If so, could you write a Will Graham x Reader? Where Reader is Hannibal’s brother who is a cannibal?
Not forcing you or anything! Skip it if you want!
Hello! Thank you so much for your request, I’m sorry if this took too long, i have been very busy, but I’m more relaxed now so feel free to send more requests!
Will Graham x Male reader
Summary: a Will Graham x male reader where reader is Hannibal Lecter’s brother, and also a cannibal, and Will finds out.
Word count: 891
Will Graham Masterlist
General Masterlist
Tumblr media
Y/N was a popular man in Baltimore, he was handsome, smart, and had a great style, he was Hannibal Lecter’s brother. The famous ex surgeon and psychiatrist. But little did anyone know, Y/N was not only Hannibal brother, but he also shared his brother's dark appetite for human flesh.
Y/N had always admired his brother's refined tastes and impeccable culinary skills. They would often exchange recipes and discuss their shared interests, all the while keeping their cannibalistic tendencies a secret from the outside world. But there was one person who managed to capture Y/N's heart like no other - the empathetic and brilliant Will Graham.
Y/N and Will's relationship blossomed most unexpectedly. Will was drawn to Y/N's mysterious nature, his dark charm, and the undeniable connection they shared. They found solace in each other's arms, unaware of the dark secrets that lay beneath their love.
It wasn't until a particularly gruesome case crossed Will's path that he began to suspect something was amiss. He couldn't shake the eerie feeling that there was more to Y/N than met the eye. As he delved deeper into the investigation, the pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place.
Will was driving through the streets of Baltimore, his heart racing with excitement. He had just received a message that a suspect in a series of murders was hiding in a remote area of the city. Will had a hunch that this suspect was none other than Hannibal Lecter himself, who had been his suspect for months, since Will claims that Hannibal caused him encephalitis.
As he approached the remote area, Will spotted a dark figure lurking in the shadows. He slowly drew his weapon, ready to confront the suspect. But as the figure stepped into the light, Will's blood ran cold.
It was Y/N, Hannibal's brother… and his own lover.
Without a word, Will got back in his car and took off, driving as fast as he could towards Y/N's house. The rain was coming down in sheets, but Will barely noticed. All he could think about was what he would say to Y/N when he got there.
Finally, he arrived at Y/N's house, pulling into the driveway and climbing out of his car. The house was dark and quiet, Will had arrived earlier than Y/N, so he just sat down and waited for him to arrive.
After a while Y/N finally arrived home, and knew Will had discovered his “hobby” by the way he looked at him.
“Let’s go inside, shall we?” Will said to his lover. Y/N just nodded and without saying anything, opened his house’s door and stepped inside with Will.
“I must say, I'm quite surprised you found out about my secret, Will.” Y/N said as they were inside the house.
“I had my suspicions, but I couldn't quite believe it, until tonight” Will said, in a very serious and even disappointed voice. Y/N sighed, knowing he couldn’t lie anymore.
“It's true, Will. I am a cannibal, you found out. But, you have to understand, this is not just some sick compulsion, this is part of who I am” Y/N said, really wanting Will to understand and accept him for who he was.
Still, Will didn’t accept it “how do you expect me to accept this!? You eat people! You kill people!” He yelled.
“I only eat those who I believe deserve to die, those who have committed unspeakable acts of violence” Y/N said, still trying to be accepted and keep being loved.
“That's a twisted form of justice, Y/N.”
“But you understand, don’t you? You know what is to kill somebody, because they were criminals, and did horrible things. How is this different?”
Will didn’t answer, he just stayed quiet, and started pacing around the room, that made Y/N anxious, but he kept trying.
“Will, I understand if this is too much for you to take in. I know it's not what you expected or what you wanted, but my love for you is pure, Will. It has nothing to do with me being a cannibal. I will do everything in my power to protect you and our love.”
Will was still quiet, and for a minute Y/N feared the worst, and wanted to cry. But he didn’t.
“Please Will.. I love you”
Y/N wasn't the monster Will expected him to be. Instead of succumbing to the darkness, Y/N pleaded with Will to understand.
Intrigued and captivated by Y/N's honesty, Will faced a difficult choice. He had to decide whether to turn away from the truth and continue his life in ignorance, or embrace the darkness alongside the man he loved.
“I love you too Y/N… and I accept you” Will said. In the end, Will made a choice that surprised even himself. He chose love over fear, acceptance over prejudice.
Y/N smiled and ran to Will’s arms, hugging him tightly, while murmuring a lot of “Thank you” and finally letting himself cry. Will hugged him back, caressing his back soothingly.
“But I’m bringing the meat the next time we have dinner together.” Will said jokingly, and Y/N laughed.
They kept hugging each other for a while, feeling completely understood and loved.
