MM. I create monsters for the pleasure of seeing what we so desperately hide: the darkness that has always lived within us. Resides in Brighton and Bali.

@Prestigour He could already picture Simon’s stressed-out face at the airport. Lennon smirked through the rising smoke. 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘪 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥——★
“I’ll be staying here for a month. Taking a break,” Lennon continued, “so do you take my offer or not, @Prestigour? Beach club wouldn’t wait for you for long, you know.”
He flicked the ash off the tip, watching it drop onto the tray on the round table. On the other end of the line, Simon muttered some feeble excuse, probably still fiddling with paperwork or pretending to look busy.
@lenndrew "Stop being such a cocky bastard," Simon grumbled, already regretting picking up the call. His cousin had a real talent for getting on his nerves.
Still, the offer was tempting. His attending had been on his ass all week, and his hopeless crush wasn't making things any easier.
He leaned back, watching it drift and dissolve, then back speaking with his proper tragic cousin @Prestigour over the phone.
“Ditch the bloody stethoscope and get over here instead, will you? I’ll sort your ticket out.”
@Prestigour “Flattery will get you nowhere. I can hardly spare a thought for you.” Lennon dragged on his cigarette, the tip glowing red for a fleeting moment before he exhaled a slow, lazy plume of smoke.

Quite a lot happens behind the camera, indeed. I happen to be one of the people working behind the scenes. I’m a special effects (SFX) makeup artist and visual designer for films. Have you ever worked with anyone in my line of work?

If I could swap places with any film character, it'd have to be Newt Scamander. Honestly, having a tiny suitcase that expands into an entire sanctuary of magical beasts would be proper brilliant. You couldn't ask for a better life, to be fair.
