Another Great Ensemble Cast, Another Star In The Series (although The First Was My Fave Thus Far). Janelle

Another great ensemble cast, another star in the series (although the first was my fave thus far). Janelle Monáe deserves a mention, too. So talented at so many things.

The absolute best at AG content and appreciation: @sincericida has created a veritable calendar of moments from the past year. Pick a favorite? No can do as each captures a snapshot in time of the actor we love to watch on film and in life. Enjoy life! It's but a blip in the universe but as we are unique, we share so much in common. Here's to many blessings and memories made in the coming year. Cheers!

This is so so sweet. What a charming story. I am more smitten than Peter I believe.

* Gardenia - the love of a friend who doesn’t want to just be friends

This screams both tasm!peter to me. Also Remus. Both. Both is good.

a/n: he's my husband officer i love him / prompts are open bb!!! tasm!peter parker x reader

The realization sweeps over him like the invention of technicolor- slow, warm bursts of an entirely new perspective. Her company has been present more often, and he’s slowly becoming addicted to the sight of her. 

Harry introduced the both of them. Peter’s been in kind of an odd space since graduating college, and so sometimes when he meets Harry’s grad student friends he can be a little intimidating. She was no exception. 

Except she was, wasn’t she?

Peter recalls the first time he ever met her, warm twinkling fairy lights of Harry’s apartment illuminating her features. She’d smiled at him, a gentle thing, all warm disposition and kind eyes, and Peter had almost felt his knees buckle under her gaze. 

He’s somehow managed to be charming enough to get her to enjoy his company for almost two months. They’re friends, or whatever you call being the first person the other hears from in the morning. Peter keeps a picture of her in his wallet for luck. He’s not very good at hiding the things he wants, but she’s not the kind of woman who dates guys like him, at least in his perception. 

Still, tonight, this is easy to forget. She’s in his apartment, soda poured into wine glasses, his head on her shoulder, drunk on the way she laughs and the fact she chose to spend her night with him. She’s got a finite amount of time, and she’s chosen to spend it with her legs on top of his. She’s so, so warm. The show he’s put on is the least of his worries, the least captivating thing he can imagine. 

He’s made them dinner, called Harry in a panic about three times even though if you’d have asked Peter before tonight if this was a date, he’d be sure you were insane. There’s a somatic sense of urgency, now, heightened senses attuned to her every movement. There’s a lot of curses to the spider-bite but this- the way that she feels in his arms, how her perfume lingers in his senses, how her so-soft skin feels on his own, her fingers carding through his hair lazily- 

“What’s on your mind?” She says, a giggle in her voice. 

“This is nice,” he replies, turning to look up at her. She’s just so nice to look at.

“Stop looking at me that way,” she says, warmth creeping up her cheeks, delicate hands covering her face in embarrassment. He turns to face her, and she smells like vanilla perfume and everything he wants.

“What way?” There’s an uncontrollable flirt in his tone, and it’s hard to admit how much he’s proud of the fact it’s him that made her feel that way. It’s a lot of restraint he’s used to not call her baby. 

“Like that,” she murmurs. He thinks he might see her eyes flicker to his lips, and his chest roars with want. He’s drunk on all of it, the feeling of her so close, the kindest person he’s had the good fortune to meet. 

“I can’t help it,” he says back, unashamedly staring back at her adorable pout, “I just wanna…”

It’s months of pining, of waiting and watching and listening to the sound of her heart when he leans over and kisses her. He’s not sure if he’s fucked it, but then- then she leans into him, kisses him back, warm and soft and isn’t this the point of being a person? Getting to be held like this? 

She actually ends up staying the night, in an incredibly mundane way. Harry finds them just that way in the morning, wrapped around each other like knots on a cherry stem. Peter doesn’t even have it in him to be embarrassed. 

Heyy :) I haven't talked to u in a while and wanted to ask how you're doing? Hopefully well

This is too sweet; two wonderful surprises of caring messages in my inbox and I am really really touched.

I'm hanging in there, just really in the woods with a lot of hiking left to do before I can stop, rest, and read. I'll be back at some point, just trying to stay on the path so that I can give priority to not getting lost and also so that I can give your stories and blogs, as well as others I follow, the attention they deserve.

Likewise, I hope you're doing well. It's a tough world, but it's kind people such as you that make it a far better place.

Take care, and to all of you: please keep writing! Please keep creating! It matters!

Thank you for responding!

Agree on the currency of 1984, as ironic as it is to be saying that 40 years post title and 75 years (!) after it was first published. However, oppression never seems to go out of style unfortunately.

I'm of the opinion that the Branson "Hot Air" project will never get off the ground (pardon the pun). Or if it does, it will be one of those that sits on the shelf for a decade. As you noted, it was for television and the genre is littered with projects that, for a variety of reasons, just languish. Still bummed about the del Toro work but that's the biz.

I would absolutely love to see a trailer for 'We Live In Time,' perhaps one will come out as the summer movie season (U.S.) begins in theaters. I apologize for continually mentioning summer in the northern hemisphere as I well know that it's summer (verão) now for many people!

Hey there, how you been? Crazy busy here but thank you for all the content updates. Popped in and see that people going crazy about AG's private life, but enough about that; I was beyond excited to learn about the Orwell audiobook. I have enjoyed a lot of actor/actress readings in that format so I'm looking forward to this, especially since I've read most of Orwell's works.

Haven't heard anything about if Voyagers started filming yet have you? When I saw your recent posts I figured maybe not since they were personal shots and not set shots.

I think We Live In Time is set for an August release? Going to be a looooong summer.

Yes, dear @tarzinnia, this week was crazy for some reasons.

But, I can’t wait for some "We Live In Time" trailer to come out. I still haven’t found anything about a really set date to start filming "Voyager’s". But this project so far, is still with him. I also look forward to "George Orwell’s 1984". Aside from Andrew being on the project, "1984" is - unfortunately and painfully - more current than ever. Just do not know what will happen with the project "Hot Air" - the mini series about the life of Richard Branson, since Branson is being investigated for alleged crimes (in the 'Epstein's case'). Nothing is being said about this project, so maybe it is a case of 'cat went up on the roof'. For now that’s all I know. Thank you for asking, dear 🫶🏼

The entire cast for this movie did so so well. A talented ensemble that brought every bit to the screen and then some. Loved Kerry Conden's Siobhán. Just a delight to watch.
