A thread of my ao3 fics! Right now I exclusively write for reylo but I suppose that could change if another ship ever gets me in the same kind of chokehold. I ONLY write Happily Ever Afters.

Not all of these images came through well. Forgive me.

These are in no particular order.

Many of the roles were played by the opposite sex and it was well done and so funny! Daisy did great with the aloof, quiet standoffishness.

Daisy was super nice. Someone went up to the stage as soon as it ended and she came right over and gave her autograph, and then tons of people started to mob so the venue staff pulled her away and told her no. She gives big “friends with everyone” vibes. At least in this setting. 🥰

No worries. I didn’t leave early but I did jet out as soon as it ended because I had two trains and a 40 minute ride to get home and 8% phone battery left 😂 it was a stressful journey, but a fun night anyway! Glad you made it through the madness!

They didn’t mind if we took pics and recorded a little, but also I didn’t want to watch the whole thing thru my phone, so here’s a little taste of the show, the only bit I took.

Morfydd as Lady Catherine was delightful. I should have recorded a tiny bit of her too but my battery was running low.

Some other things we learned tonight:
They raised more than £70k for aid in Gaza thru ticket sales and donations, and while we were there they had QR codes everywhere for people to donate more.

They told us that none of the participants were being paid. They’d all donated their time for the cause.

Intermission thoughts:

She’s ADORABLE and I love her

They’re all hilarious and unserious

The genderbent angle is marvelous and so funny

My het self feels the sapphic awakening for Bingley and Darcy played by these two

I now want to see table reads of every movie bc it’s so casual and fun.

Yesss whyyyy why why are studios so afraid of putting one of these redemption HEA love stories on screen??? Do they assume the general public would cancel the crap outta them? Are they beholden to the moral sensibilities of puriteens and boomers?

Yennefer 🦋 @lyricalriot.bsky.social · 15h

Ahh I’m so hungry right now and that sounds delightful

Yup. The cash cow they could have on their hands if they just gave us proper canon romance for existing characters.

All other responsibilities were shirked but the answer was yes 🙌

Unknown. But we’re certainly gonna give it a go!

Wowowowowowow this makes the imagination so nuts!!! I absolutely love this

Yennefer 🦋 @lyricalriot.bsky.social · 3d

I know exactly what you mean! He got whisked outta there quickly so it’s not like anyone got to interact, but if I ever got the chance, I’d love to tell him how TLJ genuinely changed my life for the good. It’s important for him to hear how many of us feel that way!

Yennefer 🦋 @lyricalriot.bsky.social · 3d

I GOT IT! I needed the Big Internet for it. Anywhere, here is the full 9 minutes. The sound is not good, their mics were muddy sounding, but hopefully you can still understand enough of it!

(Also I missed the first 30 seconds but basically he was asked how he got handed TLJ)

Let me try to figure out the video thing because my paraphrasing isn’t doing justice what he said about that subversion stuff. I liked it and thought it was important. So hang on, I’ll be back with the video.

He was asked if he enjoys subverting expectations. He denied doing any such thing. He said he just wanted to make a story that was character-driven and dive deep into these characters that JJ set up. He would never be condescending to the audience by trying to play “gotcha” with subversion.

He said TLJ was created in a “fearless bubble” of “pure love for Star Wars”

He still regularly gets people coming up to him and gushing about how much TLJ means to them and how it made them feel like a kid watching SW again. (This was super nice to hear!)

While I figure this out, my initial thoughts are that:
A) Rian is humble and constantly deflects praise to himself to praise for the franchise

B) He super loves SW and tried always to make something true to what he loved as a kid

C) He’s very much focused on the positive reception of fans

So we were allowed to record video but it’s 9 minutes and I have no idea what the best/quickest way to share it with everyone is. YT says it’s gonna take 4 hours to upload and bsky wants me to chop it into >3 min chunks. Help.
