*eating my cereals and scrolling through tumblr* *notices summer's tumblr break has ended* SHIT! *throws the cereal away, puts suit on and quickly grabs microphone*

HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME BACK TO TUESDAY INTERVIEW!

I'm Annie and we're here —once again on a Wednesday because time is relative— with our amazing Summer! A round of applause for this blessing to our world!!!

Truth be told *checks notes* not much has happened since we last saw each other but DO NOT FRET! I have always have something up my sleeves and this time of year in Italy, it mostly tends to be stinkbugs... they're everywhere

ANYWAY, back to business! The latest chapter of "A lover's folly" hit ours (mobile and/or desktop) screens last Saturday, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts and readers being left with bathed breath. Summer, how do you feel knowing you were the cause of such despair?

Moreover, just to take a quick dip in the pool of your past, the first episode of Loki dropped last Friday, leaving many people swooning over Tom Hiddelston's magistral acting and also to the amazing and hilarious banter between Loki and Mobius (and let's not forget the adorable and entertaining addition of OB to the cast). Summer, as an (former) all-time Loki fan, what did you think of this episode? And you think we should expect from this season?

Before I leave, I would like to remind everyone watching that there are real people behind the fics you're devouring, who have real lives and tons of things to do and still manage to put out amazing pieces of work that you can freely enjoy. So be kind and don't pressure writers, okay? Otherwise, I will find you :) Anything else to add on this matter, Summer?

omg hi annie <3 happy tuesday but actually it's wednesday (thursday for you by the time you read this) interview! always happy to hear from you my darling bard. (i say as i literally talk to you pretty much every moment of the day we are awake...)

anyway, a lover's folly. mhm, yes, what a devastating chapter that i totally didn't meant to leave on a cliffhanger and fuck off for two weeks...

seriously, i feel kind of bad for doing that but also, i'm a slut for angst and wrecking people emotionally so i'm absolutely living for all the screaming i've received via dm. for real, i love every single one of you but man, y'all have had it too good with all the fluff i've been writing.

in terms of loki, i really liked the episode. obviously because of the past season i have my reservations in regard to fully enjoying it but so far it's promising? personally, i find the pacing to be a lot better already. as well as the dynamics between characters but that might be due to having more time to work together.

also ob is literally my favourite. i would die for him and i really, really, REALLY hope he's not just a side character that's been overly hyped and gets like no screen time. otherwise i will be sorely devastated.

that being said, aside from ob i hope a lot more of the newer characters get more screen time too. last season we only had a very small cast and while it was fine i definitely wanted more interaction and conflict, so hopefully we get more of that? also, i'd really like for the show to actually focus on loki in a more positive way but considering last season that might be wishful thinking.

(also nothing to add except love you and have a good day!!)

Masterlist

-------

You were casually watching your television. Actually, you were watching a new movie called "A babysitter guide for monster hunting" on Netflix, starring one of your favourite actor, Tom Felton. Let' be honest, you were watching it just to see him, and even under his spooky makeup you couldn't help but still finding him attractive.

Speaking of the devil, you received a notification on your phone from Instagram. "t22felton started a live video". A little smile appeared on your face, you quickly clicked on the notification and smiled even more when you saw him, a guitar in his hands as always.

You send just a quick 'hello' in the comments before clicking innocently on the button to make a request to join his live 'it's never gonna work but, nothing ventured, nothing gained' you thought to yourself as you grab your remote to pause the movie.

Your attention turns to the live video. "Should I invite some people ?" Asked Tom like he didn't know already the response of his fans. A ton of comments saying 'yes' appears on your screen, making giggle a little. But suddenly you start panicking.

't22felton accepted your request to join their live video' You immediately put your hand on your mouth to keep you from screaming. 'Okay Y/N, keep your cool or he's gonna think you're weird.'

You take a deep breath while passing you hand into your hair to make in somewhat decent and you appear on your screen, right below Tom. "Hi darling !" He cheers the second he sees you. "Hi Tom !" You said without stopping to smile, you hand we're trembling so much it made your image a little blurry. "How are you my darling ?" Tom asked. "I'm kinda freaking out right now but I'm good ! I'm really happy to get to talk to you, thank you so much for having me !"

"Oh don't be sweetie ! Actually, thanks to you for being here !" You're blushing hard. "What were you doing before I called you here ?" He asks curiously. Your eyes widen, thinking about it. "Oh ! Actually..." You turn the camera to let him see the movie you were watching. "I was watching your movie !" You giggle a little, returning the camera. "Lovely ! Do you like it ?"

"Yes ! As far as I saw for now, I really like it ! You're amazing by the way, you did a really good job !" You tilt your head a little bit, you were pretty shocked of how comfortable you were to talk to him. "Oh thank you very much darling ! But stop complimenting me, you're gonna make blush !" He said as he tries to hide his face. It makes you laugh while you look at him. "Well, you made me blush first, it'a your turn now !" You teased. And with that he started blushing, you giggle as you read the comments on the screen. 'Omg i ship it' 'Date heerrr !!!' 'She's so sweet 🥺'

You roll your eyes reading them, you wish Tom would listen to them but it'll be way too good to be true. You nervously pass your hair trough your hair before opening your mouth again. "No but really, you're such an amazing actor ! And an amazing person too...I- I really want to thank you on behalf of all your other fans and me for being such a wonderful guy ! You're always so happy and smiling I think it really helps a lot of people in the daily so...yeah thank you so much for existing Tom !"

Tom looked at you the whole time, disarming you his blue gaze. This time he couldn't hide it anymore, he was as red as a tomato which warmed your heart, you also notice his eyes were fill with tears, was he about to cry ? "Wow...thank you so much ! It means a lot to me to be able to make you all happy by my presence, I'm glad you pointed out !" He smiles at You trough the screen. "Alright my darling, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave you now..." He said sadly as you show a little sulky face. "Noooo." You complain. "I know ! I don't want to neither but I gotta talk to other people !" You nod your head, completely understanding the situation even though you wish you could've stayed a little bit more.

"Yes of course ! Bye Tom ! Love you !" You send a kiss to him trough your phone as he do the same before finishing the live share with you. You finally breath again as you realise what just happened, the live still playing in the background while you let your back fall on your couch.

You pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming. You were definitely not, you thought when you feel a little pain where you pinched your arm, so it was real, you did talk to Tom Felton and it went so well !

You brought your phone to your face again to watch the end of the live, and after another 10 minutes, he finally ends it. Still in the clouds, you put your attention on the movie again. While you realise you enjoy even more his appearances on the screen, your phone make a sound. A new notification again.

"t22feltom followed you back"

It was too much to handle, you literally screamed and started jumping everywhere.

Guess who’s most likely to say to/think about these song lyrics about the others. (Calzona edition)

1.) “She’s just a lady and I’m just a line without a hook” (Ricky Montgomery - Line without a hook)

2.) “I wanna love me the way you love me. For all my pretty and my ugly too, I’d love to see me from your point of view” (Ariana Grande - pov)

3.) “You’re still my favorite girl, better trust me when I tell you there ain’t no one else more beautiful in this damn world” (Rex Orange County - Best Friend)

4.) “I heard that you moved somewhere far away, Is your number the same as before? Our memories on my screen, two lovers in this mystic dream. Baby come back to me, come back to me. It kills me to see you leave.” (Tom Misch - Movie)

5.) “Of all the ones that begged to stay, I'm still longing for you. Of all the ones that cried their way, I'm still waiting on you. Maybe we're taking all the risks for something that is real, cause maybe the greatest love of all is who the eyes can't see.” (Pamungkas - To the bone)

6.) “You’re in my veins, and I can not get you out” (Andrew Belle - In my veins)

7.) “But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain. It’s 2:00 a.m. and I'm cursing your name. So in love that you act insane, and that's the way I loved you!” (Taylor Swift - the way i loved you)

8.) “Before I met her, she turns my grey skies to blue. As I held her in my arms, I saw sunshine suddenly my world becomes so bright. I guess when God had her made, every little thing went right” (Paolo Sandejas - My girl)

9.) “Everywhere that I go, everywhere that I be, if you were not surrounding me with your energy, I don’t wanna be there. Any place that I can’t feel you, I just wanna be near you. Yes, I’m a mess, but I’m blessed to be stuck with you” (Daniel Caesar - Blessed)

10.) “I never get bored of lookin' at you 'cause every time I see somethin' new. Like the scar on your spine, you fell off your roof when you were nine. You've lived a life before me. I don’t ever wanna leave, I’ll watch you sleep and listen to your breathe” (girl in red - watch your sleep)

🎮 anon

1.) “She’s just a lady and I’m just a line without a hook” (Ricky Montgomery - Line without a hook)

arizona !! let's be real arizona's a bit insecure and she thinks callie deserves so much and she's always worried that she's not enough

2.) “I wanna love me the way you love me. For all my pretty and my ugly too, I’d love to see me from your point of view” (Ariana Grande - pov)

callie, especially early on in their relationship

that was post-george, post-erica and callie was so uncertain of herself and yet arizona looked at her like she put the stars in the sky

because arizona has always been so enamoured with callie and she's miraculous and wonderful and everything

3.) “You’re still my favorite girl, better trust me when I tell you there ain’t no one else more beautiful in this damn world” (Rex Orange County - Best Friend)

arizona and her general vibe about callie

you can literally hear her say "you're still my favourite, calliope" and then smile that smile she always has for callie

omg arizona when callie and sofia move

and she is just so, so very alone and she misses her family, but that isn't her family anymore, sofia is her family and callie is with penny and everything hurts

callie, strong callie post-divorce vibes

6.) “You’re in my veins, and I can not get you out” (Andrew Belle - In my veins)

callie post-divorce again !!

i mean, c'mon, when bailey asked her who she saw, it sure wasn't penny

but she desperately needed it to not be arizona because they were divorced and arizona didn't care any more so callie shouldn't either but god, she still loved arizona and she hated it

this feels very cursed for calzona tbh

but arizona

again, callie early in their relationship

but also post-plane crash at some point, arizona

arizona !! she just wants to always be around callie !! she loves her so much !!

callie, who we know already watches arizona sleep

but she loves to count arizona's freckles and watch the way her eyelashes move while she's dreaming and how arizona always reaches out for her, trying to pull her closer

Tom hiddleston x teen!reade

This was it. I was going to be in the new Avengers movie. And on top of that I was going to work with my idol, Tom Hiddleston. Now you may wonder how a teenage girl from y/h/t ended up here, and the answer is really simple. my mum have a relative living in New York and I live with her for the time being until I am old enough to get something of my own. The reason I was here in San diego was because of comic con, I had finally managed to get tickets and were, of course, a bit overly excited.

Somehow I had managed to get lost on my way to a panel and ended up in a completely different building. Don't ask me how. In that building they held some sort of audition, long story short I got dragged in on it and ended up with the role as the Cheshire cat, an orphan with abilities similar to the fairy tale character that ends up in Loki’s care.

Today was my first day on a movie set ever and to say I was nervous was an understatement.

I had brought my headphones and my favourite book for entertainment between takes and if necessary, also to calm me down. I was met by the director at the entrance and he introduced me to a nice looking woman called Daisy that were going to act as my guide for today so I would get the ropes and learn my way around the, very big set.

She first showed me to my trailer I was going to stay in and then continued with all the different stages and trailers I would need to know my way to. At the end she led me back to my trailer and gave me my manuscript for the movie. I hadn't really thought about how big of a movie this was and especially now when I saw that my role was quite important and also pretty demanding. My first scene wasn't until until tomorrow so I settled in in my new portable home for the time being.

In the morning after I was even more nervous, if that was even possible. It was time for my first appearence and I was seated in the makeup trailer getting ready when a tall figure entered. A tall figure I would recognize everywhere. Tom Hiddleston. He sat down in the stool next to mine and eyed me for a second before speaking. His voice were soft and cautious, as if not to scare me.

“ Hello darling, I haven't seen you before, are you new here? “

“ Yeah, I am. I arrived here yesterday, My name is y/n, and I already know who you are. “ I said with a smile “ sorry that sounded creepy “

I said shyly looking down. he reached out his hand and shook mine, he introduced himself in a very formal manner, his British accent coming out in a very thick layer.

“ No, it's okay, when you have this job it kind of comes with it to be noticed “ he sent me a reassuring smile

“ I'm sorry but how old are you? You just seem so young “

“ I'm y/a “

“ y/a really? and who are you playing? “

“ I'm playing Hannah the Cheshire cat “

“ Ahh, ofcourse, you are the mystery actor we were expecting today “

“ mystery? you mean they didn't tell you anything about me? “

“ Not a thing “

That must be why the audition was held so late. Or they didn’t tell anyone who the actor would be because the audition was held so late. Right when I was going to ask something else Daisy reappeared at the door and dragged me away to costume. This woman wasn’t much for words and even if she was gentle or late was not frequently used in her vocabulary.

********

I had now been here for almost six months and started to feel at home, I had gotten to know all the actors involved, Chris H and Tom the most, and were currently sitting beside main stage and reading a book I had gotten as a birthday gift. Yepp today, y/b was my birthday. One of the few things I didn't tell anyone here. Birthdays had never been a big deal to me, why start now? I was so far away in my thoughts that I didn't hear Tom appear until he waved his hand in front of my face.

“ Hey n/n, you still with me? “

n/n was the nickname everyone called me, and I have to admit I liked it. It made me feel like I was a part of the family, that I was a part of something. A bit cryptic I answered him back that I was in fact, still here, I had just zoned out a bit. Thinking. He looked at me with apologetic eyes. Whatever he wanted to say must be sensitive, I thought.

“ Speaking of thinking me and the others have done some thinking and… We have come to the conclusion that we have celebrated nearly everyone's birthday except yours. Now, you don't have to tell me if you don’t want to but…”

I didn’t let him finish and cut him of mid-sentence.

“ It’s okay, I just didn't think it was that big of a deal I mean I am just me after all “

for a moment my smile faltered but I quickly covered it up. Tom looked a bit upset when the words left my mouth. I don’t know why, why would someone as special as him care about me?

“ Not that big of a deal!!! Now you listen to me y/f/n to celebrate your birthday is a very big of a deal especially when you are young. And on set birthdays are special because it brings the family together and we celebrates everyones birthdays, even Downey lets us celebrate his!”

By now Tom was really upset and it was all my fault. I felt more guilty than ever before. Maybe I should have told him sooner, or at least not made him feel like this, but now it was definitely too late and that is also what I told him.looking down.

“ Y/N. Y/N, look at me “

he gently shook my shoulders and lifted my shin up so my teary eyes met his kind, blue orbs.

“ I didn't mean to make you upset “

“ you didn't make me upset “

“ Are you sure? I’m sorry I- “

“ Don't apologize. What exactly did you mean by to late? “

I looked down in my book sheepishly as I told him that my birthday was today. He looked surprised then a emotion I couldn’t read flashed through his eyes. He excused himself before leaving in a hurry, it wasn't until later in the afternoon I heard from Tom again, not in person though, just a simple text.

Hey n/n

get to the city hotel at 7pm

tonight bring a sleeping bag a pillow and your

pj:s the receptionist shows the way

/Tom

Now what in holy hell did that man have in mind now.

*********

As I entered the city hotel with my bag the receptionist looked up. it was a young woman looking not so much older then myself. She asked for my name and a look of recognition came onto her face. She walked up to me from behind the counter with a key card and a kind looking smile. She told me to follow her as she started her way to the elevator, holding the door for me. We went all the way up to the top floor and I followed her to the end of the corridor until we stopped in front of a door with the word Penthouse on it. Surely I am not staying here, right?

The young lady gave me the key and sent me a smile before walking back to the elevator.

It couldn't hurt to check it out right? I mean it wasn't my fault if the receptionist gave me the wrong room. As I opened the door and entered the light flickered on and my on set family all jumped out from their hiding places. Everyone was there. Tom and Tom, Sebastian, Mark, Mackie, scarlett, Benedict, Robert and all of the Chrises. I could already see how this would end up in some sort of chrisis. When they all screamed surprise at the top of their lungs I was crying of happiness already. Tom came up to me and gave me a hug.

“ No, No, No you were not supposed to cry “

“ Sorry, it's just that no one has ever done something like this to me before”

“ Well you deserve it kiddo” Robert said as he came up to the two of us. That made me laugh as I dried my eyes.

“ Do you ever stop acting like Tony? “ that's when Mackie walked up and gave me a hug.

“ You know he doesn't act he is Tony stark for real” That just made everyone laugh. “ Well what do you want to do first? there is movies, presents, games and cake.”

“ Games?, do you guys have a wii here?”

“ of course we do” Benedict said and pointed me to a box beside the big screen TV.

When I searched through the box without finding the one I was looking for I was just about to give up when I reached the bottom. There it was, The best game ever, Just dance. I asked everyone in an expectant manner if it was ok if we played it. The only response I got was that since it was my birthday, we could do whatever I desired. I cheerfully put in the game in the player took the remote and faced the others.

“ Okay we need to clear the space in front of the TV “

just as I finished my sentence everybody helped pushing the furniture to the walls. The space that were left were huge, it was almost as big as a regular apartment living room without any furniture. when I started the game Tom (Holland) spoke up.

“ Hey since you are the birthday girl here you should play the first round to open it all up “

“ Sure “

was all I said before turning to the TV to select a song. I choose the hardest level that were available which just happened to be OMG by coach Celine . (Watch this to understand what i mean)

“ You sure you should take the hardest level kid? why not start with something easier? “

Robert asked. And that's when it hit me. I haven't told them I have danced since the age of 7 or the fact that I have played this a million times before. I only turned my head in the direction of the sofas and smiled wickedly at them all. I turned around slow enough to see the questioning looks everyone had on and it was hilarious to say the least. I took my pose and danced my heart out just to show of a little bit and as usual I reach the platinum score.

When the song ended and I turned around to face the others the looks of pure surprise on their faces made me smile even bigger. Tom (Hiddleston) rose to his feet and walked up to me with a serious face.

“ Why didn't you tell me you could dance like that”

“ Nobody asked me “ I said with a playful look in my eyes. we played for hours, until I were the last one standing and Chris H declared it was time for cake. The cake they had bought were beautiful. And it was my favourite kind. Marzipan. On top it was two candles shaped as y/a and around on the sides they had gotten the person who made it write the text from the ring of power from Lord of the rings and The hobbit.

“ Okay who knows about my obsession for The hobbit? “

everyone gave me that “really” look.

“ come on n/n that's all you could talk about when you saw that Benedict were in the cast “ Tom (Hiddleston) Answered.

When the cake were eaten and the wishes were wished we placed the living room furniture back to normal and spread out our sleeping bags. There was enough room for all of us in the penthouse and we had all chosen one to sleep in later but we ended up having a Hobbit marathon and everyone fell asleep close to the end of the second movie. It was understandable though, almost everyone had worked since early in the morning and the clock was way past midnight.

I suspected it was pretty close to 3 in the morning before the last movie in the trilogy ended. After turning the TV and DVD of I started sneaking out of Toms arms. I had ended up sharing sofa with the one and only god of mischief himself and curled myself up against his chest. When I got out of the living room I could relax. Nobody had caught me. I didn't feel sleepy yet so I walked out on the balcony and looked at the city lights, It is beautiful this high up. I was so caught up in my thoughts again to notice that Tom (Hiddleston) was stepping out through the door too.

“ Why are you standing out here alone? “

I twirled around in surprise but calmed down when I saw that it was just Tom. The tall man had become a little of a father figure to me the more I got to know him, but I would never tell him that. I didn't feel like explaining why I didn't really like my birthday so I came up with the quickest lie I could muster, Which was that I needed some fresh air. Very original.

On my 5th birthday my dad had told my mum he was leaving her. And after that nothing were the same again. After my dad left, money was tight, She had gotten fired from her job and we lost our house. The flat we got was not in a child proof miljoe and so my mum took the last of her savings to send me to her relative here in New york. I haven't heard from her or my dad since. I had quite often wondered how it was to have a real father. I had Anna, mums relative on some level, and she was my mom now, she had custody of me, but I knew that she didn't really want me living there for much longer.

“ You don't have to tell me n/n, but I know you and something is wrong. I have seen how you've been acting today and something is troubling you, care to tell me what? “

Tom came to a stop beside me leaning against the railing.

“ it's stupid “ I said, wanting a father was just a stupid wish and he would surely laugh at me.

“ If its makes you upset it is not stupid “ he answered.

After a lot of thought I decided to tell him the whole story. The whole time I talked he just stood there listening and when I finished he just hugged me and told me that it wasn’t stupid at all, and asked me why I didn’t tell him sooner. that's when I just said it. Maybe it would destroy our friendship, or whatever you could call this relationship, but then fine. I told him that I was scare of what he would think since he was like a father to me, and I didn’t want to lose him too. He cut me of before I could finish.

“ How about we say I am your father then?”

It took a while before my brain could process what he had just said.

“ You mean like you acting like my father?”

his answer really surprised me but made me the happiest I had been in a long time.

“ No, I mean like me being your father, you can come live with me after the filming, I know you don’t really have a home here in America, or anywhere, based on what you’ve told me. And if you like it, maybe we could even make it official”

By now I was crying rivers but I didn't care because somebody wanted me. Somebody in this evil world actually wanted me for being ME. I couldn’t believe it and I was sure it was either a terrible joke or a very vivid dream, but I didn’t care.

“ you would do that for me? “

“ A thousand times over because you are like a daughter to me so why not do it real ? “

A year later....

Tom were true to his word that night on my y/a birthday and he actually adopted me. I even changed my last name to Hiddleston just to make it feel real. And as I suspected Anna hadn't put up much of a fight when I talked to her about it. She was actually happy for me and since she saw how much it meant to me she signed the documents without any resistance. For the first time in my life I felt at home and safe. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't met Tom, my father.

We were currently standing on the set of my new job. After the Avengers I had told him that I didn't think acting was the right thing for me and brought up a long lost dream of mine. Being in the dance crew to the Just dance yearly update. I was in full makeup and costume, I actually looked ridiculous covered in the white body paint. I was waiting for my song ‘Thumbs’ with sabrina carpenter to come on, I had practiced for this moment for months, and I can honestly say it was the second best three minutes of my life. After my filming was done I met up with my father for movie night. One of many to come.

Movie Commentary Monday: Episode 1

Hello everyone and welcome to the very first episode of Movie Commentary Monday (or as i call MCM, which sounds ridiculous by the way) where I express my thoughts on a movie while desperately trying to be funny (and usually fail).

There will be dozens of side comments in brackets because I talk too much, sorry in advance.

This week’s movie is:

Isn’t It Romantic (2019)

Directed by: Todd Strauss-Schulson

Writing Credits: Erin Cardillo (screenplay&story), Dana Fox (screenplay) & Katie Silberman (screenplay)

Stars: Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine, Priyanka Chopra, Betty Gilpin, Brandon Scott Jones

Summary: A young woman disenchanted with love mysteriously finds herself trapped inside a romantic comedy.

(thanks IMDb)

Now, buckle up folks, it’s gonna be a loooooong ride. Let’s get down to business!

(this isn’t a Mulan reference)

Why is the Mom so bitter about happy endings? I bet she has seen things...

They don’t make movies for girls like us.

THIS!!! LINE!!! IS!!! SO!!! IMPORTANT!!!

That single sentence just basically summarized the entire history of Hollywood and you can’t argue with me on this. The evidence is there (sorry i’m bitter like mom) (i’m full of rage like younger john mulaney)

Natalie’s (Rebel Wilson) apartment is a mess and is so tiny, it’s like screaming YOUR FUTURE HOUSE at me, it’s unbelievable

Fucking finally, a realistic view of New York; smelly, crowded, and filth everywhere (not that i could ever know, i don’t live there but i’ve seen metropolitans before)

“STOP THE CART WITH YOUR BODY” WTFFF I’M CRYING THAT’S SO RUDE

Ok, Natalie’s a nobody at the workplace, even though she’s a fricking architect. UNREALISTIC TO ME

That co-worker and office manager can choke, that’s all I’m gonna say

Ohmygod, Whitney (Betty Gilpin) is so cute, I’ve seen her 10 secs in and I already love her (lovey dovey characters are always my faves)

JOSH (Adam Devine) IS AMAZING, ADORABLE DORK, PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS

LIAM HEMSWORTH’S AMERICAN ACCENT GOT ME SH00K!!! He just said “Goddamn it” and I am already hooked

Who puts whipped cream in a coffee? ME, BITCH

I PUT WHIPPED CREAM IN MY COFFEE BECAUSE BLACK COFFEE TASTES LIKE SHIT, SORRY THAT I’M NOT TOUGH AS YOU

Natalie says nice guy with a nice life and it... kinda bothers me. It’s a reaaaally generic expression and a bit insulting if you think about it bc if you don’t fit that person’s standards of being nice with having a nice life, it discourages you (in this case, you=man). So when Josh said “I’m a nice guy with a nice life” I thought ‘Of course you are’ bc he is in my standards. What I’m trying to say is that rom-coms have stereotypes on not only women but also men. Yes, it is sad.

Awwww Josh has a crush on Natalie *wipes happy tears* but she thinks he’s looking at the model billboard LMAO SAME, NAT

I’m so done (but it’s also so relatable, bc i’m like Nat but with less cynicism)

WHITNEY’S DESKTOP OMG

PAWSITIVE VIBES???? I WANNA MARRY HER SO WE CAN WATCH ROM-COMS WITH CATS ON OUR LAPS ALL DAY TOGETHER

Natalie was on the subway and a stranger waved at her. Then he tried to mug her. Then she knocked herself over. My mom always says don’t talk to strangers and I see why. I’m 22, if you’re wondering *clears throat* Moving on...

OH MY GOD SHE WOKE UP WITH THE MAKE-UP ON AND A NICELY DONE HAIR WITH FLOWERS AND STRAWBERRY DRINK ON THE SIDE, I CAN’T-

Oh, hello Mr. Morningstar... *wiggles eyebrows* (quick note, i don’t actually watch Lucifer but i really like Tom Ellis)

She just ripped her IV and blood didn’t spill everywhere, yeah this is a rom-com alright

She’s dressed from lost and found and she looks like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman-

NO WAIT, THE ENTIRE SETTING HAS CHANGED

HOLY SHIT ‘A THOUSAND MILES’ BY VANESSA CARLTON IS STARTED TO BE PLAYED BY A RANDOM GUY ON A BIKE AND HE PLAYS IT FROM THE STEREO ON HIS BIKE I’M CACKLING

ENTER LIAM, HE LOOKS SO GOOD I CAN’T EVEN DESCRIBE (i’m a thirsty hoe, your suspicions are correct)

What the fuck does beguiling mean? *checks dictionary* oh, okay *is weirded out now*

HE’S AUSSIE NOW, THEY’VE DONE IT, HE’S KEEPING THE ACCENT, AND I’M HAPPY AGAIN

...Birds form a heart while flying... Uhhh... Strawberries and champagne in the limo... Rich as fuck, my poor ass can’t relate

NATALIE’S STREET HAS CHANGED, TOO

He’s giving her flowers already? Ok- NO WAIT

HE JUST WROTE HIS NUMBER ON MULTIPLE FLOWER PETALS AND HANDED TO HER, IS HE FOR REAL LMAO

“But there’s only one of you, so...” Well, this doesn’t change the fact that there are millions of ways to order the numbers, you dumbass (why is he like this)

Her apartment... Every Millenials’ dream

And... A gay neighbor/best friend who acts like an over-feminine gay (which is also a stereotype)

So, I’ll count every rom-com trope I’ve seen in 22 mins *counts her fingers* So far, I have seven tropes

The Big Presentation (eight)

Unconventional workplace which looks like a Google office (nine)

Nat is the star architect now (ten)

Rival bitchy colleague (eleven) (WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE WHITNEY, THOUGH) (SHE’S MY SENSITIVE WIFE) (oh, she looks hot)

They gave like, four other tropes in two mins and it doesn’t feel like rushed at all *salutes respectively*

The setting change is so... Like, you cannot miss it, it’s sweet and makes you feel all giddy inside, it’s so lovely, so rom-com like (does that make sense to you?)

OH PRIYANKA, SHE JUST TURNED AND I’M LIKE “Oh I’m fucked”

“Josssssssh”

Natalie keeps falling (twelve)

“MY LIFE IS A ... ... ROMANTIC COMEDY!” “AND IT’S ... PG-13!″ EVERYONE STARTED DANCING BEHIND HER I’M HOLLERING

The subway map behind her is shaped in a heart, lovey dovey couples everywhere... And shE’S GONNA JUMP ONTO A TRAIN??? THIS GOT DARK ALL OF A SUDDEN

Officer Hansom *facepalms*

She threw the flower petals and guess what? THE NUMBERS FELL DOWN IN THE CORRECT ORDER, WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN HAHAHA (thirteen)

Y’ello

Y’ELLO

Y’E LL O

IS THIS HOW AUSSIES ANSWER THE PHONE, AUSSIE MUTUALS PLEASE RESPOND

BLAKE (Liam Hemsworth) IS SO ADORABLE I’M ROOTING FOR EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE

Dress up montage... Yeah- Oh wait, they cut it out what the hell fvygbuhnj I WANT MY DRESS UP MONTAGE, GIVE IT TO MEEE

This is some fancy first date though... Also leaving 100 bucks tip doesn’t justify breaking in to a store I guess??? Seems like the law has no function in rom-coms lmao (fourteen)

BUTTER PECAN??? HOW OLD ARE YOU, 200 OR SOMETHING??? WHAT THE FUCK, MAN

The rain... You know what’s coming after- Ah, and they kissed *giggles uncontrollably* YES!!! (fifteen)

THEY CAN’T HAVE SEX BC IT’S PG-13 (liam’s abs, though) *bi scream*

Her apartment makes me cry, it’s so beautiful (ok i’ll stop counting from now on bc i cannot keep up anymore)

Also the romantic tension between Natalie and Josh................ I have no words

Isabella (Priyanka Chopra) calls Josh ‘Mush’ and it’s so f-king cringey, I swear to God sxrdctfvygu

STOP OVERSELLING NEW YORK, WE KNOW IT’S NOT THAT GOOD

I can talk about Blake for five hours, he’s so fucking funny lmao

Donny (Brandon Scott Jones) is such a gay sidekick, he comes out of nowhere and talks weirdly but he makes me laugh so I’ll give him a pass

NOW WE’RE GETTING SOMEWHERE, NATALIE’S GONNA STOP ISABELLA&JOSH’S WEDDING

That musical scene is everything, and Natalie hits that high note H AR D

GET IT, GIRL

Blake............ no-

I ROOTED FOR YOU, WE ALL ROOTED FOR YOU, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT-

Oh my, he’s a certified douchebag, I should’ve guessed, I’m so disappointed in myself

Unexpected wisdom coming from Donny who had no function to the story other than appearing beside Natalie at random times (again, rom-com trope)

BUT at least he made her realised who matters to her the most

Slow motion running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her boobs are like sxrdctfvyg SHAKING AS SHE’S RUNNING ESXRDCTFVYB (as someone who has big breasts, i relate to that so hard)

“Yoga Ambassador. Yoga. Ambassador.” “Ambassadors are for countries, not for streching.” Dang, Nat!!!

She finally realised she loves herself! Awww, that’s so sweet and empowering and I can’t get enough of this!!!! Yes, to love someone else first you should love yourself!

Oh she crashed the car and went back to reality

Another hot doctor???? Wait, I’m confused- No, false alarm, she’s back and her real doctor is tired, is also swimming through lawsuits LMFAO

She pulled her IV and blood SPILLED EVERYWHERE AS IT SHOULD BE, THANK GOD

I’m glad that she’s happy with what she’s got and she didn’t decide to keep what she’s been doing but instead, tried to take care of herself, it’s such a good message to young girls and I cannot praise this enough

PLOT TWIST, DONNY IS ACTUALLY REALLY GAY AND HAS A BOYFRIEND AND IS ALSO A WEED DEALER OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE THE TWIST SO MUCH

Natalie!!! Is!!! Confident!!! Now!!! I’m literally living for this *throws hearts to the screen*

OH MY WIFE IS BACK, HI WHITNEY I LOVE YOU MY SWEET SUMMER WIFE I MISSED YOU

Nat stormed into that meeting and she’s. on. fireeee

Real Blake is as jerk as ever, no surprise

Using parking lots as metaphors would never cross my mind but ok I guess???

Fuck, he said “What does beguiling mean?” I’M LOST FOR WORDS, THIS MOVIE SXDCTFVYGU

JOSH HAS BEEN LOOKING AT NATALIE FOR THE WHOLE TIME, NOT THE SWIMSUIT MODEL, WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT???

ps. me and probably everyone else except Nat lol

EVERYONE SINGS

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I REPEAT, EVERYONE SINGS AND IT’S SO GOOD

LIAM PLAYS THE SAX HOLY SHIT HE’S SO HOT I’M GONNA FAINT

Priyanka with that rose.......... Consider me dead, thank you

“It’s hot as fuck” tcfyvgubh probably true

Overall, I would give this movie 7/10 because of the message. Plot is nicely done and I got see basically every single rom-com tropes. At total, I counted 23 tropes I guess? If I could look every minor detail, I would count more but I won’t get into it that much for now. (i’m running late to a meeting with friends so i have to cut short)

I loved the production design, setting felt like I’m in a classic rom-com movie and characters were written accordingly. Every actor in the movie has fit perfect to me. I especially loved Priyanka and Liam because 1) I’ve never seen any of her movies and 2) It’s been a long time since I watched a Liam Hemsworth movie (i only watched hunger games, so you think about it lmao)

I guess that’s about it! I have a list for the next weeks’ movies but if you have a request then tell me so, I will watch your recommendations first! I appreciate comments; if you have something to add, please do. I will read every single one of them.

See you next week!

broadway [t.h.]

Requested: hc with tom about what it would be like when you land your first leading role on broadway ?? ((doesn't have to be included, but just personally, i'm a poc, so if it could be a role with a poc, that would be awesome, as it's not an easy feat. to come by !!) thank you, you are amazing, and i hope you have a wonderful day !! ❤️❤️❤️ -anon

A/N: thank you for reading and requesting honey!! i’m a poc too lets goOOOOO

[master list] [prompts]

[imagine this is tom watching you on stage awawaw]

tom would obviously be such a soft and supportive boyfriend!!

after you got a call saying you landed the role, you screamed and yelled “tOOOOOOOM”

and he frantically ran over to the room you were in

he was so worried like “babe what happened?” “are you okay??” are you hurt?”

but you were jumping excitedly and it was so evident on your face meanwhile tom was so confused

(you didn’t tell him about auditioning or anything just in case you didn’t land a role)

you started screaming again

“TOM I GOT IT! I GOT THE PART”

“what part? what? what are you talking about?”

you spoke so fast when explaining

“I GOT THE LEAD ROLE FOR THIS MUSICAL ON BROADWAY OHMYGOD TOM I GOT IT”

after he processed the words, his expression changed to match yours and he started hugging you and jumping/screaming with you

“OHMYGOD Y/N!!! THATS AMAZING I AM SO PROUD OF YOU LOVE WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE”

tom knew how much this meant to you even if you didn’t talk to him about it

especially since it’s already hard enough as a poc

a poc getting a lead role on broadway ?? iconic

he took you out to a fancy restaurant and he just wouldn’t stop bragging to everybody

your waiter would ask if you two are there for a special occasion

tom’s eyes would light the fuck up

“yeah actually!! my girlfriend y/n here just landed the lead role for this broadway musical”

that also landed you free dessert and pictures with all of the staff at the restaurant

afterwards, you two would be walking down the street and tom just keeps yelling “MY GIRLFRIEND IS GONNA BE IN BROADWAY” “Y/N Y/L/N IS GONNA BE A STAR”

it embarrassed you a lot but not as much as the love you felt for your stupid boyfriend

while you were practicing, tom would try to show up as much as possible

they allowed him to sit in the seats in the theatre, blatantly watching you rehearse awwwww

after every break he’d come up to you clapping and going “that’s my girlfriend!!! omg !!”

tom would so hype you up for your first performance!!!!

he would post EVERYWHERE on social media about how proud he is of his lovely girlfriend y/n

he’d also ask his fans to go if they can afford it!!

he’d brag so much about you to whoever is seated next to him

“yeah the lead is my girlfriend it’s no big deal or anything”

we all know he’s a loud boy so after every scene he’d give such a huge round of applause

intermission (is there intermission for broadway??) could be renamed “tom holland hypes up y/n y/l/n’s performance for 10 minutes straight”

just so so so much bragging in general about you

and how much he loves you

and how talented you are

not to mention all his social media posts

and spoiling you with congratulatory flowers and fancy dinners

can you do Mike singing to person of your choice please and thank you

Omg, Hi Twin! This is so late, but how dare you tell me to choose what loser. that’s impossible. So I did all of them. These are all different, so every Mike ship is in here, they don’t correlate with each other. Thank you for requesting, I hope I fulfilled it. These are all really bad so sorry about that!Eddie: To Build a Home - The Cinematic Orchestra

-It’s a rainy day but Eddie Kaspbrak still goes to see his friend, Mike hanlon, perform in the coffee shop downtown

-It’s a weird coffee shop, because there’s a stage, and sometimes full blown concerts occur there

-It’s colder than the north pole and Eddie walks into the shop with layers upon layers of clothes

-He’s surprised to find that a coffee order had already been placed for him

-He assumes it was Mike and is corrected when there’s a little hand written note on the side of the cup

-’Thank you for coming! - Mike’

-He’s smiling so wide, his face is super red, and he’s all flustered because it’s Mike

-The whole room is pretty warm, not only temperature wise, but decor wise too

-There’s lights everywhere, but they’re not harsh at all, if anything they’re really dim

-Eddie finds a seat in the middle of the room, there’s tables around him, people gathering to see the musical guest

-Which is, we already know, Mike

-Eddie marvels at the grand piano that set on the mini stage

-’He’s going to play piano?!?’

-Eddie literally didn’t know Mike could play piano but Mike can really do anything so he’s not really surprised

-What he’s really surprised about is Mike’s announcement before he’s starts playing

-’There’s someone special in the audience today. And I want them to know, what I’m about to sing, is for them.’

-The audience cheers as Mike begins to play but Eddie is kinda just

-Stunned

-Because he knows Mike is talking about him

-From the way Mike looks at him while he’s singing, to the lyrics

-Gosh Eddie is about to cry because Mike has the most beautiful singing voices he’s ever heard

-It’s smooth like honey

-It carries so much emotion

-And his piano playing???

-Jesus, Mike has the fastest moving fingers anyone has ever seen

-They glide like butter across the keys

-Eddie doesn’t realize, but he does start crying

-His face is wet, he’s snifflinf slightly

-Eddie thought he was the only one crying, but to be honest, there’s not a dry eye in the house

-By the time Mike’s done playing piano, everyone feels like they’ve just witnessed a literal freaking angel sing and play piano

-Eddie finds Mike in the green room the coffee shop and he’s really a ball of emotion

-’You’re so amazing! I love you so much, do you realize that? You’re so amazing oh my god.’

-It’s the only thing Eddie can say because Mike looks so happy and angelic and all Eddie wants to do is kiss him

-So he does

Ben: I Can’t Make You Love Me/Nick Of Time - Bon Iver

-Okay, Ben and Mike are soulmates

-Literally

-They’re made for each other

-They’re. Perfect. For. Eachother

-They both love going to the library on sunday mornings because they have a room with musical instruments

-Such as a piano, a guitar, a violin, ect

-Mike is drawn to the piano

-He can play, very good, and Ben loves that

-Mike usually plays folk, upbeat songs on the piano

-Ben sings along too, picks up the guitar and plays a couple of improv cords

-But one day Mike’s hesitant to play

-So Ben’s all like ‘Hey Mike, are you okay?’

-And Mike nods his head but Ben can see it in his eyes that he really wants to say something

-Ben urges him to talk, do anything but Mike won’t budge

-So Ben sits on the piano stool and plays one note

-The second to last ‘C’ on the piano

-And Mike’s head lifts up

-Because that note is the starting note to his favorite song

-So Mike gets up and sits besides Ben

-He starts playing

-Getting in the zone

-And Ben just watches because Mike looks so in his own little space

-He looks so relaxed, content

-And when Mike starts singing, Ben feels like he’s swooning

-The song is so beautiful and when Mike sings it, Ben feels like he’s the only person in the world

-Towards the end of the song, Mike has to lean over to get the final cords

-He brushes past Ben, who watches him with softest eyes

-He finishes the song and they just sit there

-In a way, that song became their song

-THEIR song

-In a way that was their first date too

-Because after Mike finished playing, Ben kissed him

-Mike kissed back

-They said they loved each other too

-The beginning of a wholesome relationship

Stan: True Care - James Vincent McMarrow

-Stan decided to join Mike on a trip to a campout in the woods

-Which seemed like a terrible idea at first

-Because the woods?

-And Bugs?

-And Stan?

-No, they don’t go with each other

-But Mike mentioned they sing around the campfire, ate smores, the usual camp stuff

-And Stan was actually really interested

-So the day of Stan and Mike drive out to the campsite here a bunch of Mike’s friends are and honestly

-Stan feels awkward because he doesn’t know any of these people

-But they seem really cool and Stan digs it

-So when it’s starts getting darker out the campfire is set up and everyone just starts singing and jamming out

-They have wood instruments Mike’s friends built and Stan falls in love with them because

-It’s just really creative

-The sound from these instruments also sounds really organic

-And mix Mike’s voice with that

-Oh boy, you have a realllll nice song there

-One of Mike’s friend built a guitar from scratch and it looks odd from afar, but it looks really cool and personalized up close

-He heard it took like 4 months to build

-Someone also made a drum out who the hell knows but it looks really pretty-When they start singing, Stan is given a tambourine

-They just tell him to follow the beat of the drum and so he does

-Mike’s obviously the main singer here and everytime Mike points to him while singing, Stan messes up his tambourine tapping

-The song feels so Cozy and Warm to Stan and he’s in love

-Not only with the song but with Mike

-And holy shit he’s in love with Mike

-Holy Shit.

-Although he’s freaking out, Stan continues to play and with dazzling eyes watches Mike sing his head off

-One day Stan will tell him

-For now, he’ll just watch and play his part

Beverly: Heal - Tom Odell

-Beverly would always pass by the music hall to get out of school

-That hallway was always the one that wasn’t crowded

-The Losers usually meet at Bill’s house after school

-Sometimes outside the school, but today was meeting at Bill’s

-When Beverly passed by the musical hall, she heard the soft noise of a piano

-And singing?

-Well, it was the music hall, but this voice sounded reallllllly familiar

-So, Beverly being curious as ever, walks farther into the hallway, taking turns she never had before

-Then she stops in front of a door with a small window

-Looking inside she sees the back of someone she definitely knows

-It’s Mike

-Her Mike

-Her Mike Hanlon from the Loser’s club

-And since when the hell did Mike sing?

-AND SINCE WHEN THE HELL DID HE PLAY PIANO?

-Beverly’s a ball of questions

-So when she walks into the room, scaring the living shit out of Mike, all the questions start spewing out

-Mike just responds with a laugh as he gets up and get ready to go

-Beverly still doesn’t have her answers so she won’t let Mike go

-She resorts to blocking the door with her body

-’Play something for me and I’ll let you go.’

-Mike starts getting really nervous because THE Beverly Marsh, the fiery redhead, who Mike most definitely has a crush on, wants him to play her something

-And so he does

-And Beverly is absolutely shaking because

-Mike plays her the saddest song she’s ever heard

-But coming from Mike, it sounds like lone song

-And his “Ohhhhh’s”

-Beautiful

-Beverly is left in tears

-Mike thinks he’s done something completely wrong because beverly is sniffling so much and her face is stained with tears and Mike feels really bad for whatever he did

-But Beverly tells him that ‘That was phenomenal, you’re real talent Hanlon.’

-And suddenly, Beverly realizes Mike is super, super, super cute

-Like he always had been, but the light is hitting him in just the right way, his smile keeps getting brighter and Beverly is really out here swooning

-There was a moment before they both agreed to start leaning in

-But, of course, the janitor came in right before they kissed

-Both got detention but it was worth it because they had the best first kiss ever

Bill: Wasn’t Looking - Eliza , Wildflower - Moise

-Mike and the Loser’s decide to hang out in Richie’s garage one night

- He has a bass guitar and an electric guitar and Mike’s super happy

-Richie also has a goddamn drumset and the losers start to think he’s in a band

-He’s not, his parents just get him instruments in hopes he does something other than talk shit around town

-Mike really wants to play with it

-He suggest Richie and he play a song

-Richie already knows what song because they sing it all the time

-The losers all start screaming at Mike and Richie to play

-When they do they all clapping and stuff when Mike starts playing the first cords of the guitar

-They all yell when Mike starts singing

-Richie had dim colorful lights that hung from the roof of the garage

-They changed colors every other minute so when Mike was basked in blue light he’d be covered in Red the next

-Bill’s totally entranced by the smooth yet rough voice Mike has

-This is the first time Bill’s really heard Mike sing

-When Richie starts playing the drums it becomes an actual show

-Mike seems to be in his zone

-And he looks really, really good

-He keeps breathing into the mic, Oohing so distantly it sounds like an echo

-Bill’s really into it

-It’s when Mike winks at him that Bill loses it

-Mike’s really out here being an iconic, triple threat, boy and Bill’s quaking

-MIKE LOOKS SO GOOD

-SOUNDS SO GOOD

-BILL WANTS ALL PART OF THAT

-When they finish the rest of the losers want the to sing something else and they do and the second song just makes Bill’s soul leave his body

-Mike takes advantage of it and starts singing directly towards Bill

-The other losers choose to not notice, or they do, but they don’t care because, oop what do you know

-Stan and Beverly found another Beer package

-Bill sneaks out with Mike after he and Richie take a break

-Both really go at each other with their lips

-To say it was a very successful first kiss is an understatement

Richie: Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey

-Okay so Richie would definitely encourage Mike to sing in front of an audience

-Like even though Mike gets easily nervous

-Richie says he’s an absolute god when he sings

-He’s an absolute god either way, but he’s even more of a god when he belts out his voice

-Richie’s heard Mike sing many times before

-His voice ranges from a lot of genres but in his personal opinion, he loves it when Mike sings song that require a lot of voice

-It sounds so nice and charming and would bring people to tears

-So when Richie hears that Mike signed up for a gig at the town square Richie is jumping up and down with happiness

-Mike at first is really unsure because ‘What if I mess up? In front of everyone too!’

-”I will drag you there myself, you’re going!’

-Richie doesn’t know what song Mike is gonna sing, he hates it because Mike says ‘It’s dedicated to you but It’s a surprise’

-AND HOLY HELL WAS IT A SURPRISE

-Mike was apparently the biggest star of the night

-He had orchestrated a whole damn ORCHESTRA

-Like the people who play violins, cellos, harps, flutes, FRENCH HORNS!

-A legit. Orchestra.

-Yeah, Mike did THAT

-And Mike’s voice was so powerful

-His voice resonated throughout everyone in the park

-Oh, yeah, he rented out the entire park

-Only Legends

-Richie is really proud because Mike is doing this! Mike is really doing this!

-Richie feels like he’s floating because even though from where he’s sitting, Mike looks like a small man, Mike is the center of attention

-But suddenly Richie feels like the center of attention

-Because he can only feel like the song is about him

-Mike was really dedicating the song to him

-And it really was a beautiful song

-Richie felt deaf after it all, the orchestra went HARD but Mike went HARDER-With his voice

-Not in the other way

-Not yet

-Richie runs to the backstage after Mike is done and jumps into his arms

-The suit Mike was wearing smelled like cologne and Richie felt like he was going to faint because Mike looked really good

-And smelled really good

-And SANG really good

-As Richie puts himself down, Mike whips out a rose and hands it to Richie

-Richie’s emotional ass starts crying because wow

-Mike loves him

-And Richie loves Mike

-Wow

19 Parents Who Negotiated With Their Kids and Lost

New Post has been published on https://parentinguideto.com/must-see/19-parents-who-negotiated-with-their-kids-and-lost/

19 Parents Who Negotiated With Their Kids and Lost

In a recent Reddit post, “Never gamble what you aren’t willing to lose,” parents shared the deals they’ve made with their kids in desperate yet mostly failed attempts to keep some small semblance of their sanity. Call it what you want; bargaining, negotiating, bribery or just flat out lie to yourself and call it a “reward system,” but at the end of the day, one fact remains. A deal is a deal and you better deliver.

I myself have been known to offer a serving or two of rainbow sherbet ice cream (*cough*) before noon, in attempts to appease certain challenging and disgruntled customers, ages 2 and 4.

We’re not perfect. We’re desperate, tired, and there’s an 85% chance that we are in need of a shower. We do what we gotta do. Don’t judge us. OR actually, go ahead. But perhaps a scoop of sherbet would temporarily quiet your criticisms? Hmm?

Take comfort in these deals that parents made with their kids, and know that you are not alone in your daily parenting bribery tactics nor are you the only parent who totally sucks at the fine art of negotiation.

Just today I negotiated a deal with my four-year-old. Nothing fancy, just a good old-fashioned bribe to get him the hell out of my car. The terms were simple enough. If he went to preschool, then we would stop by grandma’s house afterward.

Why did I do such a thing? Well, like I said, he’s four, you see, and his tiny knees have yet to be worn down from carrying the heavy burdens of life. When in the car, the tiny evil genius extends his legs and presses his feet against the back of my driver’s seat in protest, locking his small yet sturdy knees like the jaws of life.

After this tired, desperate, and disheveled mom had tried everything short of a public-middle-of-the-street-mother-son-wrestling-match, I caved. Of course, he insisted on a brief verbal confirmation from grandma via FaceTime before agreeing to the terms.

I wiped the sweat from my brow and my son’s tiny locked knees instantaneously released and off he went with a taunting skip in his step.

What can I say? I’m just a mom, standing in front of a little boy, begging him to go away so she can be alone for four glorious hours. Is that too much to ask?

Apparently, I’m also a mom who is going to have to take my son to visit grandma every day after school for the foreseeable future.

“Never gamble what you aren’t willing to lose.”

I know it’s tempting but you shouldn’t offer your kids sweet things to complete tasks.

The little monster immediately cleaned his room and I had to share my cake with him.

–u/Drunk_monk37

Parents, be prepared to pay the piper.

Ya I bribed my toddler with “candy” (fruit snacks) to take her antibiotics, and for dayyyyyys after she was done with the meds, she’d come up to me and say “mecine?”

I asked her if she had an owie and she says “no, candy” HAHA

– oh_ya_you_betcha

Whatever it takes.

I’m potty training my kid with Hershey kisses. DONT JUDGE ME, he’s my fourth and he’s three and I’m done with fuc*ing diapers already.

–RawketLeeg

NO judgment here. I hear you. I feel your pain. Just get through the day mama, one Hershey’s Kiss at a time.

We’re all in this together.

Man, I’m using lollipops. I am just done with poop everywhere. Haha, good luck mama.

–RawketLeeg

This next mama really set herself up with this potty training bribe…

This mom’s potty training deal with her toddler ended up having some unexpected implications…

My kid was fine with potty except for poop… so we started giving him the occasional Hot Wheel when he would poop in the toilet…

Months later, we still get: Mommy, look at my poop! It’s big so I get a big car!

–PaperclipGirl

This mom seems to have found a deal that she can stick with.

Potty training my 2-year-old at the moment, thank f*ck she loves stickers.

–AvatarIII

And every once in awhile, everyone wins.

By the time we got to the last one, we taped a bunch of random candy and dollar store toys to the bathroom wall. If he pooped in the potty he could choose his prize.

My prize was never buying or changing another diaper and I was more than willing to bribe my way across the finish line.

–twinkie45

Never forget who you’re dealing with.

I used to do the deal thing too. Then one day my 4-year-old pulls this out:

“Well daddy, I took your deal and I changed it. I will not clean up the markers and still get a cookie. That’s the new deal.”

Ok, Darth Vader.

–boxidea

Moms can have their cake and clean it up, too.

My best friend’s nearly 4-year-old was eating [cake] and getting crumbs all over the floor which had just been cleaned.

“Kathryn, please help mommy clean up all these crumbs.” “No.” “Ok, Kathryn, you can either help mommy or go to time out.”

Wheels obviously turning in Kathryn’s head. “Ok, I’ll go to time out!”

She happily skipped over to the time out area and my BFF cleaned up crumbs…at least she didn’t have to share cake!

–zoyaheaven

This kid could be the next host of “Let’s Make a Deal.”

Kids learn so quickly, in some cases… too quickly.

I used to always say, “I’ll make you a deal,” to my son and then go on to say if you do this, you can have this.

Then my son started saying that to me when I would ask him to do something. “Buddy please clean up your room.”

“Okay, mama, I’ll make you a deal…” I had to clear up who is the dealmaker real quick….and I also stopped doing that. 😀

Twenty-year commitment for a 20-minute chore? This mom really got the short end of the stick with this deal.

Made this mistake recently. We were thinking about getting a new kitten. Found one about 45 minutes away. Told my 11 yr old daughter that if she cleaned her room in 30 minutes, we’d go look at and possibly get the kitten.

She had to fold all of her clothes and put them away, as well, because she’d just rearranged her furniture. I thought she’d never be able to do it.

Well, she did. Room looked great. Went to look at the kitten. Adopted him. He had an upper respiratory infection that we didn’t know about until a few days after when it started showing symptoms.

We made the mistake of introducing him to our other cats a couple of days after adopting. $500 in vet bills later, her room is messy again.

We wonder who in the world changes the litter box every time? Actually no. We don’t. It’s mom. Apparently, some parents must learn the hard way.

This next kid is smart. And slightly scary.

My nephew, when he was in daycare would hit another child at cleanup time so he would go on timeout and not have to clean.

Clever girl. Violent… but clever, nonetheless.

My own kid would do the same when she didn’t want to be at school that day. She knew that if she hit someone they would call for us to come to get her.

We had to sit down with the staff and explain that they were rewarding her for her behavior. After they stopped sending her home, she stopped hitting.

This mom called her kid’s bluff and straight shut him down.

Mine did this, except making himself throw up, rather than hitting.

Once I made a rule that if he was too sick to be at school, he was too sick for Xbox, tablet, or computer, he stopped.

This next mom didn’t have to work quite so hard to get her kid to behave…

And just when you least expect it, they’ll surprise you.

So the other day my kid was playing with the tablet and begged me to let him continue playing when I went to take it away.

I said “Ok, you can play, but no ice cream later” knowing full well he wouldn’t give up ice cream.

“OK, fine.”

“Well, shit.” I thought to myself “there is no way when we go to get ice cream later that he isn’t going to go into full meltdown because he can’t have any. I really screwed myself here.”

So we get ice cream later and, lo and behold, not only does he not have a melt-down, he doesn’t even ask for any. He just sits there content, totally happy with the deal we made.

Apparently, negotiating with children can be risky business. And not like young Tom Cruise in whitey-tighties ‘Risky Business.’ But like ‘anarcho-capitalistic’ risky business.

Yeah, I can imagine that once kids are smart enough to do some cost-benefit analysis, the “deals” start to backfire.

I’ve heard similar stories when parents try to put a dollar or reward value on individual chores.

It will sometimes evolve into an anarcho-capitalist free market in their home, where the kids see everything as an opportunity to haggle or refuse chores because they don’t need any money right now.

Bargain all you want but there ain’t no way around it.

Also never promise kids stuff to get them to go to sleep because they’ll wake up extra early and call in that debt of yours.

A deal is a deal.

When I was just about to turn 11 my friend’s cat was pregnant with kittens. I ask my dad if I can have a kitten and he says, full of sarcasm and smug disbelief that it’d actually happen “Yeah, if they’re born on your birthday.”

Birthday arrives and my friend calls screaming “They’re being born! It’s your birthday! Omg!”

My dad didn’t believe me until he called the parents to confirm they were indeed born that day. I got a kitten.

So, what have we learned?

Whether it’s a Hershey’s kiss or an expensive cat, one fact remains; ultimately, we will pay. We will always pay. We’re parents. It’s a part of the deal. Also, never, I repeat, never resort to pet bribery. Ever. Not even highly unlikely, hypothetical negotiations.

Have you ever made a deal with the devil, ahem, excuse me, I mean, your child? How’d that work out for ya?!

Share this with someone you know who’s paid the price of negotiating with their kiddo!
