i love you??? for the multiple hearts. sit on tight boys and girls, we’re gonna quench our thirst.
1. since i mentioned suits a bit in the last one, let’s start it off from suits as well.
sarah rafferty. i started suits bc of @olliscot basically, hearing about darvey and i ended up being caught up by the time the final season came out and i loved the character of donna paulson and darvey ( and unexpectedly louis but that’s another story ) she was an amazing character and portrayed by an amazing actress. we stan redheads and honestly this is one that should be out there more.
2. the second — i’ve seen people use him here and there, i have at least one or two ships / threads ( on discord ) with him as well, but i wouldn’t mind seeing more of him in the rpc.
he was my first grown celeb crush. bc of phantom menace lmao. ewan mcgregor is such a lovely face, though. and i always encourage more scottish fcs out there ( especially for faye to interact with like she needs her scots ) i know most don’t go for FCs over 25, but, i def recommend him. especially if they were rp’ing mark renton off trainspotting bc like.... i need faye to hookd up with mark renton like, have you watched T2? pls. pls pls. choose life with this fc and muse.
3. speaking of scots and trainspotting
kelly macdonald, for a good bit married a member of the glasgwegian band Travis ( faye’s fave btw ) known for trainspotting and boardwalk empire mostly. not too popular nowadays, most of these fcs are obscure af but i love them and just... would be awesome to play against kelly. resources are crap but it would still be awesome.
4. i’m just gonna......
unlike the other fcs, this one isn’t obscure af, and i’m forever thankful of that. some say he’s overused, i say not nearly enough. chris evans is a god damn treasure and i will write against every god damn chris evans fc as long as there is air in my lungs. i am not one of those “one fc per ship” like no, drown me in your fcs, faye and i will love them all dearly. the heart of gold, the himbo, the guy getting his shit together, love it, love him, perfect, give him to me.
5. i would be totally ashamed of myself not mentioning this woman
i’ve mentioned first crushes, and freema agyeman was my first who companion crush. billie never thrilled me, and i could never click with rose. but when i saw freema as martha jones? i fell in love. of course, i’ve fallen into the pattern of loving a character that deserved way better than they got, but martha jones was her own super hero and she was mine, and freema in new amsterdam gives NO DAMNS but helping her patients and just kicking ass and i love it. i DEFINITELY haven’t seen this fc around and it saddens me. save me from my misery.

So i did my own version of the Hunger Games Simulation with other Celebs...
i absolutely cannot believe SZA is already dead. i was rooting for her. and the way Jennifer Lawrence dies is almost peak comedy if it wasn’t so damn graphic
poor Ryan.... :/ and good for Malala and Thomas for staying out of the fight
tsk tsk
poor Misha. What a Ryan Reynolds thing to do.. so in character... and of course Shane just goes to sleep without a problem.
HOW DARE YOU TARGET MALALA. I am especially disappointed in you, Thomas!
Of course Kate targets Leo....*cough*cough*
Chris Pratt: “are you talking to my crush?!”
like i said, poor Misha
Shane and Jensen cuddling? and this goes to show that just because the gays believe in you, it doesn’t make you immortal
Jensen isn’t here to play today
I honest to god thought that said “sexuality” instead of “sanity”
so sad. after everything they’ve done for the gays too
Shane is determined to be gay even if he dies trying.. he probably will too
Sarah Paulson is probably just jumping at every little sound :(
and i think Thomas and Bryce might make good friends in real life. who knows?
Donald Glover must’ve rejected Shane’s cuddling... wrong move Donald
It’s not like Jensen needs any help
and I get it, Malala. Can’t die? Start taking names
this didn’t end well for the majority of our pals
in hindsight, this actually seams like the only way Shane Madej would every actually die
and the guilt Thomas must feel for killing Jensen :(
tbh, i kinda feel like Sarah Paulson wasn’t hallucinating and just played along to end it all
boom. boom. boom.
nooo Melissa. Don’t cry!
isn’t that what Todrick already does?
poor Thomas. If he wins that survivors guilt is gonna be one pure hell
Melissa is just putting Leo out of his misery tbh
yay nobody died today
bye boys
okay. still doing good guys. stay strong
Malala dies from infection because nobody could ever handle the guilt of killing her
:’( you will be missed
poor Thomas. that guilt tho 0_0
looks like somebody has been playing too much Oregon Trail...
Second thoughts Todrick? Regret over not being the only gay?
it’s down to the wire, my guys.
It’s down to Thomas and Melissa..... *fingers crossed*
two great singers forever gone
this is the absolute most worst sentence i have ever read with my own two eyes
#thomasdeservedbetter #justiceforthomas
you know what? good for her. I love Melissa. She deserves it even though she murdered 4 people in cold blood.
i’m just salty about sza
gg :)
somebody show this to Melissa McCarthy please good god
