hii just wanted to pop in and say i absolutely adore your writing !
i’m a reylo mourner and your fics are really amazing and they bring me so much joy (and angst lol) your imagery and dialogue and QUALITY WRITING i love it!!!
i know you don’t really write reylo anymore but i just wanted to say thank u for your incredible fics because i appreciate them sososo much <3!
AUUUUUGGGHHH [hides face] [lies down] [shrieks] [kicks]. Thank you so so so so much for this you have no idea how nice it is to see this on my tumblr inbox??? I appreciate this SO SO MUCH. God I can't believe I wrote... what, 85 reylo fics in 8 years??? ahahaha what is wrong with me
I DO/am still kinda writing reylo btw!! I have like 5 WIPS I never finished, I just can't control the hyperfixation goblins (tragic). I really hope to be able to finish those at some point, and then either MAYBE start a new one? or possibly rewrite some of my old favorites which i see a lot more potential in than I initially gave myself time to flesh out (which im doing currently with an old kastle fic oops).
thank you SO MUCH for the compliment seriously omg this makes me wanna sit down and write one last one shot or something you have no idea how much this means to me
Frank looked back at the lawn. The picnic blankets. The families. “Page, you know when people go through shit like that, they change, huh? They ain’t the same. You know that.” She sighed. “Yeah, well, we also lost all our clients because Matt was barely showing up to depositions, let alone court, and then we had to shutter the firm. So I’m out of a job. And I got offered a great position in San Francisco. Satellite office of this really fancy LA-based firm, GLK&H, they’ve started branching out into vigilante law and, uh, superhero stuff, legal defense for various…” He barely heard the rest of it. San Francisco? As in, California? As in the other side of the goddamn country? “You— you’re goin’ to California?” he croaked, barely able to mask his shock. “Yeah, my stuff’s already mostly packed. Flight leaves in three days.” “Jesus, Page. When you said you were leavin’ New York and goin’ somewhere else I thought you meant—Jersey City. Yonkers. Back to Vermont, maybe. Not the other side of the goddamn continent. What—” His head reeled. You’re really leavin’ all of it. You’re leavin’ me.

It’s so funny seeing non-science people write scientist characters. specifically when arcane fans write Jayce and Viktor and they’re in the lab just talking about “solving equations.” exquisite.
yo who up solving they equation
In the lab, straight up “solving it.” And by “it” I mean. Haha, well. let’s justr say. My equation

i dont know how to explain this but frank castle gives off vibes like the craziest sex he's ever had was Lady On Top with the Lights On, meanwhile karen page gives off "i need it doggy style 30 degree angle of entry to the left slightly with someone pulling my hair and spanking me at the same time on the edge of the bed bent halfway down one leg up one foot on the floor ass up face down and DONT touch my throat or I will SHOOT YOU"
Here’s the thing about JUPITER ASCENDING, literally the greatest movie ever made. Is it “good,” or is it, more probably, garbage? I really don’t have the capacity to say. I’m not Saint Roger Ebert, olav hasholem, over here. I took one film class and it was about whether real stuff is, like, real, or is there even such a thing as, like, really real, man, you know?? (There isn’t. I got an A.) I’m not here to tell you if it is good. I am only a woman with eyes and ears and joy centers in my brain. Here is what I will tell you. Look at my icon. As daeontherun so rightly pointed out, my icon was both of our faces for the ENTIRE DURATION of this movie.
Do you need to know any more than that? Do you need to know any more than that you will be flooded with pure, innocent delight for two hours? Here is my feeling about this movie: it is your garbage. It is garbage for you. “Is this how straight dudes feel at the movies all the time????” I hissed at daeontherun SEVERAL times during this movie. “Like someone carefully noted down your early pubescent fantasies and then threw 100 MILLION DOLLARS at them?“
I would describe this feeling as, like, a combination of arousal, joy, and fond knowing chagrin. "Oh you,” you find yourself thinking at Jupiter Ascending as shirtless Channing Tatum gruffly but torturedly checks his weaponry, while Sean Bean voiceover rumbles in his beautiful Northern growl about how tortured and loyal shirtless Channing Tatum is and how he needs his PACK. Ten seconds before this, Channing Tatum and Sean Bean were sexily punching each other while yelling about their emotions. “You know what I like, you crazy beautiful bastard,” you say to Jupiter Ascending, shaking your head fondly. Mila Kunis wakes up in a beautiful dress, blinking slowly with her long gorgeous lashes. “Feel my skin,” naked Tuppence Middleton purrs at her [REDACTED 4 SPOILERS]’s clone, Mila Kunis, gently caressing her bare arm. Gugu Mbatha-Raw stands over Channing Tatum and sexily taunts him. There is a 20 minute Terry-Gilliam-evoking sequence about [REDACTED 4 SPOILERS BUT TRUST ME THAT IT’S AMAZING]. Eddie Redmayne flutters an elegant hand around while hoarsely gasping out sociopathic, vaguely incestuous promises in a fucking SEQUIN TITS OUT DRESSING GOWN with ARM WINGS in his EVIL SPACE CATHEDRAL THRONE ROOM!!!! “DO U LIKE DIS?" Jupiter Ascending asks, glancing shyly at you. "I MAKED IT.” “Of course I like it,” you say, overcome by joy and wonder, kissing Jupiter Ascending on the forehead. “I’ve never liked anything this much, and I love you more than anyone in the whole world.” I don’t want to be controversial, but if I had to choose between Jupiter Ascending and Citizen Kane I would immediately travel back in time, murder Orson Welles, and walk away whistling. I would cheerfully burn the entire Criterion Collection to the ground for this movie. Go see Jupiter Ascending. You’re welcome.
i made this post ten years ago and i stand by most of it except for the part about burning the entire criterion collection to the ground. that was wrong. what i should have said was put jupiter ascending IN the criterion collection.
cant tell you how delighted i was to see this on my feed again
Frank had been watching them the whole time. Had seen her and Matt. Had probably seen most of everything. She didn’t know why she liked that idea so much. “Yes. It was. And I guess we have you to thank, because you’re the one who shoved us back together, so. Much appreciated, Castle.”
“Don’t play that shit with me, Karen,” he said, dark and low, shoving off the stool and making straight for her with all the unstoppable force of a semi-truck. She did not move: she let him crowd her up against the table in her foyer, shoulders against the wall, nose almost touching his as he breathed in, exhaled warm beer-scented air down her neck. “Throwing that in my face,” he whispered, so close, so hot. Both his hands were planted on the wall behind her, flat and trembling, his fingers working in frantic little tap-tap-taps against the drywall. “Like I didn’t— like I—”
She had her palms down flat on her table, the edge of it biting softly into the backs of her thighs. “Frank,” she whispered. Her bare feet slid apart on the slick linoleum, bracketing his boots. “You better take your shoes off if you’re gonna come into my apartment and drink all my beer.”
