​I ordered the screenplay. I tried to get it on Kindle but couldn't, so I ordered a physical copy. I actually prefer physical media over digital, so it’s fine. I wanted to see what scenes were cut since we don't have bonus features with deleted scenes.

As a new screenwriter, I really started trying to pursue it early this year and I'm still studying to perfect the craft by reading scripts in the genres I’m interested in. ​ But I digress.

I honestly prefer books and screenplays because you get to be inside the characters' heads. We already know Bear is a POS, but if you had any doubt about him after the dinner scene....... my gosh just reading this just makes me so upset for Nicky.

Rey is a thirty-five-year-old woman who finds out she and her boyfriend, Jude Marcus, are expecting. But when Rey finds Jude cheating with another woman, she feels alone. When she's in labor, taxi driver Ben helps her get to the hospital safely.

As time passes, they grow closer. Ben adores her daughter, Angel, and Rey wonders if she could find love after all.

Inspired by the film, Look Who's Talking

On another note: The casting for young Ahsoka was amazing. She captured the vibes of Clone Wars but in both slides that is the same actress.

I made this meme

I can't stand Ian or Sarah, but this post is just about Sarah, since someone else recently covered Ian’s two-faced personality. ​

That said, Bear was easily the worst character in the film for obvious reasons. And as much as I despise Sarah, her death was undeniably cruel and gruesome. ​

Sarah was not a "girl’s girl" at all. Even though she didn't know that Bear and Nikki were only dating because of the Wish Willow, she knew Bear was seeing someone and she still went after him. Early on, we see that Sarah is into him, but we also see how close the group is. ​

She gave off massive "pick-me" vibes when she told Bear, "You need someone more chill," and then smirked when he replied, "Like you?" ​ By the time of the party, it was painfully obvious that Nikki was struggling mentally. Instead of being a friend, taking her to the ER, asking Bear what is up with her in a caring way, Sarah suggested that Nikki was taking advantage of him, then proceeded to flirt with a guy she knew was in a relationship.

Bear was just as bad, of course, he loved having his ego stroked and flirted right back in the car. Sarah truly couldn't have cared less about Nikki; she was only focused on getting validation and being the center of Bear's attention and that is just sad.

But she didn't deserve her death. Could she have decided to not sneak out with Bear and take advantage of the chance? Sure. But at the end of the day, Bear was still at fault for the death of his friends.

I love having physical media over digital because it feels truly mine. I have Wicked parts 1 & 2 on Blu Ray but when I found out that there vhs tapes, I ordered it so fast & my Bridgerton DVD collection was also mailed today along with Wicked. Jonathan Bailey is in both so it just felt so perfect seeing them both arrive today lmao.

Look what you did to my sweet Elphie!

(We know Elphaba faked her death but farm girl doesn't know that)

edit: I made it for shits & giggles. At the end of the day, Dorothy was used as a pawn in a much bigger game.

I’ve been posting here since February about my journey turning a Reylo fanfic into a self-published novel, and then adapting that work into a screenplay. It’s been a long road of cold emails, constant rejections, and a steep learning curve of reading scripts and studying the craft. ​ I’m thrilled to share that I finally have some real progress.

I connected with an indie production company that is interested in the project, provided I could help secure a producer and funding. Through a production hub, I reached out to a few producers, and one of them just agreed to read the script. ​ They loved the pitch, and we are currently going to plan a Zoom call to discuss potential funding choices and next steps after the screenplay is read.

I’ve been fully transparent with them about my background, including my history with short films and my writing process. I also openly discussed my accessibility needs.

I am disabled and a one-handed writer, so I’ve let them know that while I am fully capable of handling all necessary rewrites (if needed), I may require a bit more time on certain deadlines. I always try to remember to inform them before I discuss anything because I want to be treated fairly but open on what I may need.

​As a bonus, the production team has even allowed me to secure a special secret role in the project besides being the writer. However, I'd like to keep that private until I have an update for the project in the future.
​ I know it’s still early days and nothing is signed yet, but after months of hearing "no," this feels like a massive win. I’m incredibly proud of this story and its roots. Fingers crossed for the upcoming meeting. We discussed either today or tomorrow but it depends on when they finish reading it and free we both are.

But that's all I have so far!

The published version is out on platforms like Amazon & Diarmi, however I am only linking the og fic for those who want it. I took it down off of ao3 before the novel was out.

Edit we meet tomorrow to talk about budget, my vision & how they can help me so I think its safe to say they are on board?? I sent in the screenplay early in the morning & they emailed 6 hrs later.

I cant try to order For Good but I just placed an order for this. I have a roku tv but can you hook a VCR with a rokutv? I used to have a VCR in the late 2009s and even in the 2010s but mine later broke so I'd need to get a new one to watch this.

So can I connect it with my rokutv? I only have that kind of tv but if not, I'm still glad I have this in my Wicked collection. I have both films on digital and Blu Ray but sometimes I really miss having a VCR. Nothing hits quite like a physical copy.

Watched Obsession five times, and I finally caught a detail that I initially thought I was imagining. I saw a post on IG that zoomed in on the necklace she’s wearing, and it’s definitely there. ​

We know it’s common for people to wear their partner’s initial as a sweet "I'm taken" gesture, but in the context of this story, I think it’s a much darker metaphor. ​ Bear sees Nikki as his property.

Whether Bear gave it to her or if she’s wearing it because of the "wish" dynamic and she got it (doubt it though), it feels intentional by the writer/director. It’s a physical manifestation of his possessiveness. Its a brand, essentially. Even when he realizes the wish came true and the power dynamic shifts, he remains completely fixated on his own needs as the film goes on.

Maybe I'm reaching but what are your thoughts?
