RWRB: The Awardist Podcast Interview Thoughts

Alright after listening to the podcast giddily while aggressively stomping on the cross-ramp machine to work out my extreme happiness and excitement to the point that I burnt through twice as many calories than usual and soaked through my shirt, I'm here with thoughts

Pippin @pippin-katz, who sent me a voice message at 3 am my time to tell me to brace myself and be prepared for what's happening and what I'm going to wake up it, did their own version of a summary+thoughts with timestamps here, go check that one out

So my list of thoughts is gonna be a little more all over the place

Immediately burst out laughing with the "mouthful" joke, even more so when the boys both caught it lmao

"I am not happy to see Taylor's face" and "I have a Post-it I'll stick it over your face now" that is peak bestie behaviour

Nick honey I love you but I... do not believe you don't look through online stuff lmao we literally caught you likely fan content and edits you posted two Henry edits and referenced another one

I love how unintentionally in sync they are??? For the first question they started talking at the same time, and for the second they both started nodding and stayed silent forgetting this was an audio interview

"mate, mate, mate, MATE" and the last one being said in sync oh my god this is so much fun

The whole comment on the signing wars: what Pippin said, we were literally calling Taylor "that little fucker" yesterday when he started taunting us with more BTS (EVERYONE KEEP VOTING PLEASE)

"What possessed you? What have you got against me?", the same energy as "Why do you dislike me?"

Taylor's explanation of signing on Nick's face and how it started made me laugh and scoff a little because I translated that fucking moment: the first time it happened, Taylor was in China, it was the firstprince PR photo not the GQ magazine, he was on a boat, and he was the one to ask for the photos to sign lmao

Again, need to see them sign stuff in the same time and space: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!! :D

"Take it Nick" Nick's little snicker in response

A little heavy and personal but I wish I could talk to them and tell them how much the book, the movie, the characters and the boys mean to me and how it kept me somewhat afloat last October when I was drowning every single day, and how this story made me want to change myself and break out of my status quo

I know I've been saying Taylor knows Casey's pronouns and he gets them wrong when he's nervous, and I stand by that, but God the sigh of relief I let out when he used they/them

"Right Nick?" is so oddly comforting?

Oh my fucking God the "Top to Bottom" joke was a low-hanging fruit but it made me laugh

Also even the order was right! "Top to Bottom", "Taylor and I" (jkjk lmao) 😜

I really fucking hope that the "that's what I'm known for now, doing intimacy work on screen" is an offhand joke and that people don't genuinely label Nick as that

"Why don't you speak for this, Taylor" again, unexplainably comforting

"Seeing my mate at all these awards shows" made me remember a Chinese phrase "頂峰相見·", literally "meeting again at the peak", meaning "I'll see you when we're both at our best"

Nick's burst of laughter at the "who's a better kisser" comment

Taylor I swear to God 🤣 he combined the "is nick a good kisser" and the "who has your heart joey or Nick" questions together and said "I don't know, I don't know how to answer that question, I have no idea" DUDE YOU LITERALLY ANSWERED THE GOOD KISSER QUESTION WITH "YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS A GOOD KISSER WE HAD TO PRACTICE A LOT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT" WITH ZERO HESITATION (that answer, on that day, was first thing in the morning for me, and I lost my sanity for the next two hours)

I'm so fucking happy and Matthew comes from a theatre too, speaking as a theatre person and someone who has been dissecting this film since its release

I really think there's gotta be more improvised scenes? Or at the very least stuff like the morning after V&A that was a last-minute decision to add in and wasn't in the script, or maybe scenes where there wasn't specific lines written and they just reacted and spoke based on the scenario? Or even little moments, the shoulder kiss or something?

"Tay" OH MY HEART

Ok I can make an argument on both how Nick is like and not like Henry, but Taylor is so ACD that he basically fell out of the book? How does he not see that? (personally think Taylor's very similar to Alex with a bit of Marco?)

Oh my god the whole segment of the DNC/getting caught scene and Taylor's ass

"I will take this one" "yeah"

"I love working with her, we both love working with her" That's sweet- hang on Nick you just have this one scene with her

I have so many more questions about this scene: Was Nick actually in the closet for that one shot? How many takes did it take?

Taylor referencing a detail in Bottoms from like a 30-second scene in the movie!!! Yes!!! We love seeing friends being supportive of each other (suddenly want to hear Taylor's opinions on M&G lmfao)

"And I'm not even going to get into M&G"

The text question is kind of the only question that made me think "Why would you ask that?" because that was definitely more of a directing/editing thing

Nick really freaking loves the cake scene, he mentioned that as his favourite scene three times at this point, all times on audio, twice on video

Aw Taylor's story about Jack... ��

But somehow everyone knowing it lmao, and Taylor's fucking awful British accent

And at this point Nick starts swearing lmao

Awww Nick's compliment to Taylor

Tangent: what the fuck is a fuel museum?

Oh I just love hearing them finishing each other's sentences when one of them forgets the word

Lmao imagine just recovering from Covid and then needing to make out for two hours

"Next to a witchcraft shop" What the fuck lmao

Tangent again but I could write a sociology essay on what Taylor said about architecture and history

I swear to God, Nick's "go on Taylor" somehow being softer, you can fucking hear that that little shit is smirking

Taylor saying that he wants a second book from Casey and me immediately going "BOTH OF YOU QUIT YOUR FUCKING JOBS" (I have complicated feelings about the bonus chapter)

"What-if world" exactly!

Taylor pulling out the stats about the queer population: did he fucking calculate that on the spot or he just casually have that information in his head?

the little wrap-up by the hosts was so sweet but somehow talking about Taylor's ass again oh my god (his body hair being digitally edited, it was minx right?)

"it's so sweet and nice and we need more of this in our lives right now" YES WE DO, WE FUCKING DO

"he's gonna be second-guessing his booty" is not a sentence I thought I'd ever hear but here we are

Culture shock moment: the number to call the podcast/American phone numbers is 3-3-4 which caught me off guard for a second cuz here it's 4-4

And that's it for now! God, I need so much more of this, like, if this is what we get out of a half-an-hour podcast interview what would press and promo be like?

Now that we're back for awards I really freaking hope these new RWRB content will be coming back, maybe like once a week or something

WE'RE BACK WE'RE FUCKING BACK WE'RE FUCKING WINNING

EVERYONE GO VOTE GO VOTE GO VOTE

The Dead Rabbit - Part X

Charlotte had just finished restocking the bar in preparation for the busy night that was ahead of her when her phone began to ring. She smiled to herself, realizing she still had Tommy’s name in her phone as Mr. Shelby.

“Well good morning, Mr. Shelby,” she prodded.

He let low moan escape his lips, “Charlotte do not start with me this morning, I swear.”

She was fully aware what she was doing to him. It wasn’t what she said but the way she said it. She paced behind the bar, stoking the fire she had lit in his mind with her words, “Or what?”

He sank down in the leather chair letting his head rest comfortably with a sigh, “I was going to ask if you wanted to meet at Katz’s for lunch in a half hour but if you can’t behave I’ll have to pick things up and come straight there and take you on the top of your fucking bar.”

She thought for a moment, being the only one there, it wasn’t like it was out of the question as a possibility, “You make that sound like that’s the bad option.”

“No, it’s just the ‘neither of us are going to accomplish all that we need to do today’ option.” He was matter of fact. He hoped she didn’t take it as coming off short with her.

“Good point. I’ll see you in a half hour.”

“Goodbye, Charlotte.”

She retreated upstairs to retrieve her coat and purse although she knew he wasn’t going to let her pay for a thing. It was just the way he was.

She rode silently in the cab as she could feel her flush face cooling down.

He grabbed his coat from the rack in the office as there was a knock at the door, “Come in.” He retrieved his leather gloves from the pocket of his coat as his Secretary opened the door.

“Mr. Shelby,” she began, but paused as she saw him preparing himself to leave. “I apologize, do you have a meeting?”

He hesitated, “Yes, a lunch. What is it, Natasha?”

“It wasn’t on your agenda today.”

“It doesn’t need to be. I know what my plans are for the day and how to schedule around them. What do you need?”

“You’ve gotten a phone call from the New York State Liquor Authority regarding preliminary information for an operating license, they said you can find the paperwork and the fee scheduling online. Also, there was a call from Pippin Jewelers. They said they received a Sapphire and Diamond Navette circa 1880, and a set of Sapphire and Diamond cuff links from circa 1910. They also said the 1920s bar pin you requested modifications to was ready to be picked up.”

He sighed, running his tongue along the back of his lower teeth, “It is supposed to be for a distillers permit, but I can sort that out me self. Please call back the jeweler, tell them I’ll be in for the Bar Pin and if they can replace the Sapphires on the cuff links with emeralds I’ll take those as well.”

She gave him a curt nod, her brown hair swaying as she turned to leave, “very well, Mr. Shelby.”

He finished donning his coat, gloves, and flat cap before leaving the office. He knew it would be out of his way but he opted to stop by the jeweler first, in an attempt to try and give her a gift that he hoped she would love.

The cab ride there was shorter than Charlotte had expected, but they were meeting just before lunch so maybe she had managed to beat some traffic.

Snow started to sprinkle the air as she paid the cab driver and stepped outside. She couldn’t remember the last time she went to Katz’s. She glanced both ways down the street however Tommy was nowhere in sight.

She went inside and sat in the table service section while she waited. It was about 10 more minutes before he joined her, snow coating his garments as he shed his outer layers and sat across from her. She had ordered herself a coffee and him a water in his absence.

“I have something for you,” he remarked as he reached inside his jacket and removed a black rectangular velvet box from the breast pocket.

“They had to repair it to make it wearable, so ignore the metal plate, but If you didn’t know the difference you’d think it was always there.”

He placed the box on the table between them and Charlotte took it slowly, holding it in her hands before opening it. The hinge was strong and it popped open almost immediately.

The pin was silver filigree, fluid but structured. A hard edge surrounded the entirety of the pin, but the Art Deco metal work of the interior had a pattern almost reminiscent of feathers. A large clear emerald was sat in the center, flanked on each side by three white diamonds.

She took it gently in her hand and turned it to view the back side, and on the silver plate in question she saw an inscription:

She loved me for the dangers I had passed,

And I loved her that she did pity them.

“This is the only witchcraft I have used.” Charlotte whispered, completing the quote from Othello. “Thank you, Tommy. It’s beautiful.”

Nothing on Earth would make me wear it. The Russian woman’s voice echoed in her head as she closed the box gently and sat it between them on the table.

“Who,” Charlotte began as she was interrupted by her phone ringing in her pocket, “sorry, I’ve got to take this.” She whispered as she removed herself from the table in an effort to not be rude.

“What’s going on Anna?” She asked as she stepped outside.

“The ice machine isn’t working. I’ve called a couple of places but no one will come out and service it today.”

Charlotte sighed, “Shit. Of Course. Won’t make it thru the first couple hours with what’s there. Go upstairs and grab my keys and I guess we’ll just have to buy ice. Take Javi or Max with you and we’ll have to keep it in the walk in freezer.”

“Okay. Do you want me to just use the card?”

“Or take some cash out of the till. Doesn’t matter to me.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

“No, thank you.”

“Everything okay?” He asked as she returned to her seat.

Charlotte shrugged with a sigh as she sipped her coffee, “Par for the course, ice maker quit on one of the busiest nights of the year, no one will come out to fix it because it’s, well, the busiest night of the year.” She made a small disgusted gesture with her hands.

“I can take a look at it,” he offered.

“I’m sure they already did their best,” She furrowed her brow as the waitress approached them from the distance, “What do you know about ice machines?”

He shrugged, repressing a smile, “Absolutely nothing.”

The bar had started filling up around 6:30 that night. Both floors were full when Charlotte’s phone started exploding with messages.

Marcie and Erika, the other two bartenders who were supposed to be working with her tonight were both, conveniently, now unable to make their way into work. They offered no explanation and she frankly didn’t need one, she knew what was going on. She had been young once.

It would be doable. It would be okay. Until it wasn’t. And then people would just have to wait.

Going on 9, Tommy tried calling Charlotte, with no answer. He imagined she was already quite busy. By the fourth time he called her he was starting to get concerned.

He concluded there was not another paper or email that couldn’t wait until the new year, and locked up the office to make his way to the pub.

Once he saw traffic to confirm what Charlotte had said, he knew there was no chance of taking a cab there in a timely manner. It would be roughly an hour walk to get there, or the metro would be about 20 minutes taking the N to Whitehall Street.

He wasn’t sold on the idea of being trapped underground in a narrow tunnel full of people. He shook off the feeling, reminding himself that his claustrophobia issue was an inherited trait, and wove his way through the cluster of people going to and fro to try and make it before the next train went.

Someone had put Dan Auerbach on the jukebox. The jazzy guitar rang through the bar as Charlotte continued making the drinks of the people waiting.

Tommy took the stairs up the back, finding his way into the bar without digging through the dregs of people. He wasn’t sure where he was headed, just that he needed to go up. He determined that the kitchen was the only way through to the bar. There were 7 or so people, and none of them were paying attention to him, however you’d think a man in suit weaving his way through a packed kitchen would draw some attention. He pondered which door to go through as he eyed his options, but was pulled out of his train of thought by a small woman yelling at him.

“I said hey!” She really wasn’t any smaller than Charlotte, however she was more ferocious looking. Her red hair was pulled up in a bun on top of her head, and several piercings adorned her face. Shockingly they complemented her well.

“Hello, pretty boy, anyone in there?” She waved her hand in front of Tommy’s face, “What the fuck are you doing in the kitchen?”

If he had a guess, he bet this was Anna. “I’m looking for Charlotte,” he bowed his head as he spoke to avoid yelling yet make sure she could hear him, “I’m Tommy,” he stuck his hand out to her, but she shook her head and turned.

“C’mon, you’re in the way back here!” She yelled as they walked through the wooden door to their right.

She nodded in Charlotte’s direction before walking past Tommy back into the kitchen.

He could see she was one drink short of drowning behind the bar. He removed his jacket, barely able to think over the clatter and clamor of people’s voices and glasses. He tucked it with the well liquor and approached the woman looking particularly exasperated with the fact she had to wait for a drink on New Years Eve.

“How can I help you ma’am?” he asked as the woman leaned on the bar so he could hear what she said. He noted that Charlotte hadn’t saw him yet, and she looked to be in her element behind the bar. She looked down the bar to her right, and he could see in the midst of her retained curls, pulled back in a chignon, that she had elected to wear the bar pin in her hair. She had on quite the outfit. A pair of black trousers and oxfords paired with a teal sequin blouse, adorned with tassels, shoulder pads, and all.

“I need two Guinness, a Two Hearted, and a Gin and Tonic.”

He nodded, and approached Charlotte at the other end of the bar to pour the beers first. He placed his hand on her back as he walked behind her in order to not startle her, his shoes not faring well with the rubber floor mats behind the bar. It wouldn’t have been half as bad if they weren’t so sticky.

He grabbed three of the pint glasses from under the bar, holding one up as he spoke, “Guinness first, yeah?” he knew the answer. Guinness always was poured first so that it had time to settle.

She nodded, a smile creeping across her face, “What else?”

“Two-Hearted and a Gin and Tonic.”

She took one of the pint glasses from the bar and stood beside him as they each poured a beer in silence. She couldn’t help but look at him. James never would have helped her at the bar, let alone made drinks. He had hated her working there at all. Tommy looked comfortable there though. They were quite the pair, and she had to admit even in just the vest and dress shirt he looked good.

The remainder of the night went on in that way, busier and busier with no real chance for it to stop. Occasionally Anna would pop down from the upstairs to grab something, or in the rare moments that it was quiet upstairs, to help them catch up. There wasn’t a moment Anna saw Charlotte not happy that night. She and Tommy were either exchanging some smirk, or laugh, or quiet moment that maybe they thought no one else would pick up on.

Tommy even kissed her at midnight, much to Charlotte’s surprise.

I drew this back in March for Henry’s birthday, but held off posting it cause I wanted to Glaze and/or Nightshade it, but I learned that unfortunately those mess up flat colored pictures. I tried multiple settings, but every time it came out with very noticeable fragmentation and whatnot. 🥲

So I guess there’s no point in waiting anymore, happy belated birthday to both of them now 🩵

RWRB: A list of thoughts on the Campfire Scene

Ok I went to sleep for another hour to calm myself down and now I can form coherent thoughts about the scene and not just scream and squeal

It's a three-minute scene with two shots. The first shot is a little over two minutes

When Alex asks his question, Henry, who was looking into the fire, tilts his head towards Alex as if to listen better. After Alex finishes, Henry looks up towards the sky, like he's wondering how to answer

Alex doesn't really react to Henry's "Once upon a time" even though he's not directly answering Alex's question. He just listens, and that's such a beautiful thing

Nick deserves a round of applause for this scene, his monologue was two minutes long, and monologues are really hard to perform because it's just you who keeps talking, you don't really get to react to other things or people, it's just you, so Nick is a fantastic job

Nick's delivery and tone, and the way he sometimes ends a sentence a bit like a question (ex: "acutely") makes it sound like Henry's been thinking about this story/ metaphor for a while but this is the first time he ever verbalizes it, so while he knows what he wants to talk about thus he doesn't need to pause a lot to think of the story, he does occasionally need to think of the next word or line because again, he never actually said any of this out loud before, and Nick does that so well

@pippin-katz pointed out that Nick misspoke and said "sent the suit a prince of armour" which is hilarious, and while because movie, this shouldn't happen, realistically we all have moments where we mix words up so it almost feels more... authentic? Also, I didn't pick it up but now that Pippin mentioned it I'm really aware of it lmao

Also Henry/Nick's voice here is so soothing? I can almost imagine him telling bedtime stories to his and Alex's kids like this in the future. I wonder if Henry would write children's books because it feels like it'd be something he do and something he could write really well, if this clip is anything to go by. Plus I stumbled across an audio of Nick reading "The Emperor's New Clothes" before (I literally have no context of why he was reading that and it was literally just audio, not sure if I can find it anymore) and it was so soothing and calming that I fell asleep to it one night. Besides the full-cast RWRB audiobook that I'm practically demanding at this point, I wonder if he would be interested in doing more audiobook/narration stuff. He's really got the voice for it

The King sending a suit of armour to protect the prince's heart kind of further proves my point of the King being a much more loving grandparent to Henry than the queen in the book, and him worrying more about Henry himself than the image of the crown. He noticed that 1, Henry is an emotionally sensitive person, 2, Henry is gay, and both of those things could be turned against him easily, and he will get hurt. He does love Henry, just not in a way that's good for Henry. If we get a sequel I do hope we can see them reconcile in one way or another. It'd be a nice example for people in the same positions.

The "Nothing will ever happen to him" line!!!! I wrote a whole essay about Kensington and this line because somehow this line was one of the most powerful ones to me, but to know that it was originally Henry's word just adds another level of pain to the Kensington scene

You can see Henry's face light up when he starts talking about the peasant boy. And Alex's quick eyebrow raise and deep chuckle. It's so beautiful, I wanna cry

We talk about Alex's heart eyes, which, yes, but Henry's look of pure adoration and love at Alex when he says "Truly Alive" makes me want to melt

I yelled a little at Alex when he started to lay back down (as in I verbally shouted "DAMMIT ALEX LOOK AT YOUR MAN") because I felt like if Alex saw Henry's face in the following lines he'd figure out Henry has issues earlier? But then I saw a take saying the shot was framed like theatre where Henry's both centre stage and in the spotlight so the focus is on him, so Alex was designed to lay back down on the timber bench to make the entire space for Henry

Henry's look of sad longing when he talks about the peasant boy pulling apart his armor is heartbreaking

I wonder if this was originally planned to be the changing point from Alex's POV to Henry's POV? Because in that case I do think the lake scene worked better as a changing point

I also wonder how did Henry end the story in his head up to this point? Because as hopefully as the last line is, at this point in the story, Henry still doesn't believe he can keep this

I get why scenes are cut because when you're putting together a movie, there are a lot of things you don't see for individual scenes until you put them together. This is why as much as I want the cast and crew to get the premiere they deserve to have, I don't really want an extended cut of the movie, because things were cut for a good reason

That being said, if the cornetto scene and this scene proved anything, is that the scenes themselves are fascinating, and I WANT THEM ALL
