Break The Ice (A Skating!AU Thorki Drabble)

Break The Ice (A Skating!AU Thorki drabble)

There you are, and there he is. You are both in the same place, a swanky bar in some random Nordic city where you have both attended intense training for your respective disciplines before the next Winter Olympics. You are not, however, in the same league with him. Still, it was meant to be. Your hands sweat because you have had three too many and think, for one moment, "I can make him mine. All I need is an in. A conversation. And then he will see my heart and then he will not be able to say no." Or "nicht", or "non", or "nein", or "nyet", or whatever exotic language it is that he speaks with his infamous silver tongue. So you plot and you watch him. He seems coolly disinterested in everything and everyone as he nurses a glass of absinthe he has been sipping indifferently for the past hour. His eyes are like ice. You watch with some vindictive amusement as rival suitors dance up and walk sheepishly away as he refuses to even acknowledge their existence. But you are different: you have heart. And so you order another Jager Bomb to augment your courage and then make your move. He observes your approach with a frosty gaze and your feet start to feel cold, which is followed by your ankles, knees, thighs, and hips. By the time you reach him, he has completely frozen you. You are a block of ice. "Hi," you mumble at his direction through your chilled lips. You school your face in what you hope is a seductive and confident expression. He gives you a passive once-over before he turns to his flame-haired companion and says, "I think it's time to leave." You watch him go in a resplendent flurry of green leather and white fur that nicely complements his smooth porcelain skin and sleek raven hair. Unsurprisingly, his exit has effortlessly captured the attention of more than half the bar patrons, and your heart of gold has exploded into a 24-carat catastrophe. For a fleeting moment, you are completely devastated, but then you realize it is still meant to be. Because on the glossy mahogany surface of the bar where he previously positioned himself, you spot a napkin scrawled with the name of a hotel and a room number. Your smile widens when you recognize the unmistakable handwriting--the same one that has graced countless autographed pictures, one of which happens to be safely tucked in your wallet. Yes, he may be in a different league than you--and he will always be out of your league--but it is men like him that fuels the fires of your dreams. And it is the endless pursuit of that fantasy that keeps your passport stamped and your passions stoked as you pocket the napkin and leave the bar to your brand new destination...

The original unedited version of "Snowpiercer" finally premiered in the Philippines and I could not be any happier about this! Saw the film and it more than exceeded my already high expectations despite me already knowing the plot from my other friends around the world who saw it before me. That being said, I highly guarantee you should all watch this extraordinary film in its full and intact version.

In the meantime, please do take the time to read my spoiler-free review of "Snowpiercer" which you can read by clicking this link here:

Film Review : Snowpiercer (Or Should I Say, SLAYPIERCER!)

As repelling and horrific as it can be, it draws on your curiosity and holds your interest. Know what I mean? (And sorry about the long ask.)

yeah, there was so much mindfuck moments there but nothing that really warranted censorship. snowpiercer had the kind of shock factor that forces you to think about the deep themes and that's something i appreciate as a fan of great movies. and you don't have to apologize for the long ask, bb! i'm glad there's someone else who's as enthusiastic about snowpiercer as i am, and let me tell you, there are plenty more of us here on tumblr who can't stop gushing over this movie! ;)

DON'T FUCK WITH ME

Anybody who nerd/geek-shames me because I fervently ship two fictional characters in an explicitly homosexual relationship is just asking to get their asses ripped a new one. COME AT ME IF YOU DARE.

but towards the end when he tells his story, he totally sold it. There was no visual, no audio to his monologue but he really manages to convey pain and anger and to disturb people and it was remarkable. The film was really well casted, with Tilda and Jamie and Alison as the teacher was great. I was terribly impressed with the movie as a whole and I honestly want to immerse myself in the fandom because I really think the film should be kept as is, and that more people should know about it.

chris evans's monologue during the climax--and his confrontation with ed harris in the engine section--completely blew me away that i honestly feel this is the right direction he needs to take if he is to win a future oscar. the supporting characters also definitely brought their a-game, but obviously, tilda's light shone a bit brighter than the others for the sole reason that she was given a rather remarkable antagonistic role to play with. so much about snowpiercer is worth discussing that yes, the fandom needs to spread the word further.
