A warm, almost hot sensation spread across my right cheek as Tiffany pressed the freshly waxed skin with her gloved hand. For a moment, the soothing pressure nearly made me relax, distracting me from what was happening behind me. Unfortunately, the next second brought me crashing back to reality. “Motherfucker!” I yelled, my fingers curling into fists as the lady behind me ripped away another strip with ruthless efficiency. “There, there,” Tiffany said calmly, her tone practiced and…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- I walked into Casa Encantada and found a scene I hadn't expected at all. Evan and Dad were on their knees, giving piggyback rides to Ace and Ian, respectively. From what I could see, they were both wearing some kind of harness for the kids’ safety and trying to race each other. Meanwhile, the two toddlers were having the time of their lives, judging by their happy giggles. Mum and Scarlett were sitting on the couch, happily watching the moment. I felt a pang of guilt for having missed more moments…

- Hermione broke down into sobs, and the way Harry pulled her into a hug made the moment even more heartbreaking for the audience. Rod really appreciated how much the acting across the trio had improved over the years. Ron completely stole the scene with the raw intensity of his outburst, while Hermione’s breakdown felt painfully real, the kind of emotion that didn’t seem acted at all. Harry and Hermione waited for Ron for an entire day, hoping he’d return. When he didn’t, they finally packed…

- Tobias sat across from a plump middle-aged woman named Erica in a cozy, secluded booth in a cafe near her home in Buckinghamshire, England. She stared at him with wide eyes after listening to his offer. "I can't believe it." She shook her head slowly, still in disbelief. "I write fanfiction. Not some great piece of literature. Why would one of the world's biggest entertainment companies be interested in my story?" Tobias kept his expression calm, though inside he was wondering the same thing. And…

- “Hey, Olive!” I called out, stepping out of the pool, dripping wet and wearing nothing but a pair of short swimming trunks that barely hid my modesty. The costume department had given me two options: long board shorts that hung past my knees, or something on the shorter side. I’d gone with the latter. If I were going to do fan service, I might as well commit to it properly. “You left your glass slipper at the party the other night,” I said, toweling myself off slowly. “Yeah, and I got…

- After that first win, the show fell into a rhythm of sorts. One by one, more TV and movie categories were awarded in quick succession, sprinkled with Ricky Gervais’ brand of humor in between. Most nominees were there just to drink and have a good time. Most people didn’t really seem to care about winning or losing. Then came the first category I was nominated for. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans walked up on stage together, holding two envelopes in their hands. “Hey, Chris,” Ryan greeted the…

I looked at my childhood home, where I’d spent most of my life. I hadn’t realized until now how strange it would feel, knowing Dad had already sold the property to someone else, and was a tenant in his own home. “You don’t have to sell it,” I said to my father, who stood beside me. “I can loan you some money, and you can—” “And I can keep an old, run-down, ugly house for sentiments that no one cares about but you?” he asked rhetorically. “No, thanks. And I told you last time…- 297.0 K • Ongoing
- A reporter offered a mic to Emily. “Emma Stone, congratulations on . It is one of the biggest movies of the year, grossing nearly $800 million.” “Thank you,” Emily nodded graciously. “If you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’d know about the story that broke out regarding Harvey Weinstein, which has started a new conversation about workplace harassment in showbiz. Did you ever have to face any kind of harassment during your time in Hollywood?” the reporter asked. Emily…

- May 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA I held the phone close to my ear as the man on the other side explained how things stood. “We’ve finished pre-production on , and we’ll begin shooting next week,” Tobias said, his tone almost clinical. “Lily Collins has been cast in the lead role, opposite Henry Cavill as the prince, with Charlize Theron playing the evil stepmother. We’ve even cast seven real life dwarf actors as the dwarves. Once filming begins, , , , and will follow shortly after, in that…

- ~All those days chasing down a daydream All those years living in a blur All that time, never truly seeing Things the way they were~ I looked directly into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and continued singing, pouring my heart, soul, and every part of myself into the notes. ~Now she's here, shining in the starlight Now she's here, suddenly I know If she's here, it's crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go~ When I reached the next verse, I gently took…
