Started working on something for Christian from "Moulin Rouge!" while listening to music on shuffle and the song Children of the Revolution came on π perfect coincidence
What a fun game! I love it! I agree with most of these headcanons. Now I wanna do one! π

Not my gif
A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Alex never really shows affection in the conventional or typical sense. Heβs not particularly one for PDA, such as hugs in front of others or kisses in public. Heβll lay with you on the couch though, and of course sleeps by your side- in your bed or in his. There are a few instances when heβll be affectionate in front of others- like if either of you are really upset, or if youβre watching a movie with Juliet and David.Β
B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)
Alex can be a little bit annoying sometimes.Well, not sometimes. Most of the time. He tries to be nice, in his own Alex-y way. He would take the mickey out of you and joke around a lot, but despite this he would always be there to be a shoulder to lean on or just someone that listens to you.Β

Jesus Christ, OP you're killing it with these edits! This one hits hard and gave me a new song to check out!
[Song: Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - Radiohead]
I was inspired to make one of these thanks to @parvulous-writings π This is based on the movie version of Christian and it was really fun to imagine how I think he would act. I can totally see myself doing this again with a different character. Also, shoutout to @palfriendpatine66 and @elysabeththequeene for helping me when I got stuck π«Ά. @elysabeththequeene writes a lot of Moulin Rouge fanfic btw and they're amazing! Tell me what y'all think!
A - Affection (How affectionate is he? How does he show it?)
If you look up the word affectionate in the dictionary there's just a picture of Christian. The man is SUPER affectionate! He would like nothing more than to always be within arms reach of you. As far as showing it, anything goes as long he can touch you. He likes giving and receiving subtle touches like letting your legs rest on each other while sitting or brushing hands when walking past the other.
B - Best Friend (What is he like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)
Christian is a very supportive and present friend. He values your opinion and asks you for advice or to read over his writing. The two of you could talk for hours about nothing in particular. You just enjoy spending time together no matter where or when. The friendship started when Toulouse invited you to have dinner with him and his friends. You and Christian didn't talk a whole lot that night but you felt a spark which only grew the more you hung out.
C - Cuddles (Does he like to cuddle? How does he cuddle?)
Of course he loves to cuddle! After a long day of work, he looks forward to decompressing by tangling his limbs in yours. He's fine with any cuddle position and especially loves laying in your lap while you stroke his face or hair.
D - Domestic (Does he want to settle down? How is he at cooking, cleaning, etc.?)
100% he wants to settle down though he's not skilled at cooking or cleaning. However, he doesn't expect you to pick up his slack. He's willing to learn so he can take care of you.
E - Ending (If he has to break up with his partner, how would he do it?)
Christian is a sensitive soul so if he had to break up with you it would tear him apart. He would agonize over the decision but ultimately would tell you face to face in private and be as gentle as possible. He would try to stay composed but would probably get misty-eyed seeing you hurt. Once he was alone, he would break down.
F - Fiance (How does he feel about commitment? Does he wanna get married?)
He is not afraid of commitment whatsoever and takes it very seriously. He is completely loyal to you and definitely wants to marry you. He's just waiting for the perfect moment to pop the question. He wants it to be magical!
G - Gentle (How gentle is he both physically and emotionally?)
Christian is the most gentle man you've ever been with. This gentleness extends to all living beings, not just the person he is dating, which endears you even more to him. He is very considerate and does things like shield you from the rain even it means he gets wet, or massage your feet after a tiring work day. Emotionally, he is great listener and always wants you to feel safe talking to him about your troubles.
H - Hugs (Does he like hugs? How often does he do it and what are they like?)
Christian is a hugger for sure! Greetings, goodbyes, comfort, celebration, you name it, he does it any chance he gets. He likes to engulf you in bear hugs and always rubs your back before pulling away. His body is soft so his hugs feel like you're sinking into a pillow.
I - I Love You (How fast does he say the "L" word?)
Pretty quickly, nor does he try to hide when he falls in love with you. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Once he knows that he loves you, he doesn't have a problem saying it.
J - Jealousy (How jealous does he get? What is he like when jealous?)
He's not an especially jealous man. He's very secure in his relationship with you and trusts you entirely. If he ever does feel a twinge of jealousy it's usually because one too many wealthy suitors have flirted with you. He knows that you can have someone more rich and successful than he is and he wonders if you'd be happier with someone who could give you the life he wishes he could. Luckily, it's not difficult to reassure him that your heart belongs to him alone.
K - Kisses (What are his kisses like? Where does he like to kiss you? Where does he like to be kissed?)
His kisses are passionate and a bit inept. He is new to the whole love thing after all. His lips are silky soft and he always kisses you like you're water in a desert no matter how brief the kiss. He loves to cup your cheeks and kiss your forehead. His favorite place for you to kiss him is, well, his lips lol.
L - Little Ones (How is he around children?)
He's very good with children and they pretty much flock to him! He would love to be a father one day.
M - Morning (What are mornings like with him?)
Mornings are a quiet affair. He wakes up early when he's working on a show and gets ready for the day as quiet as possible so as not to wake you. You wake up anyway, if just to give him a sleepy "have a good day" before falling back into slumber. When he doesn't have to rush off to rehearsal then you enjoy coffee and the morning paper together.
N - Night (How are nights spent with him?)
If mornings are quiet then nights are the exact opposite. The two of you make a mess in the kitchen while cooking dinner and singing all the while. Sometimes, you catch the latest moving picture at the theatre or dance the night away at the Moulin Rouge. When it's time for bed, you catch each other up on the day's events while snuggled close. You often awake alone in the middle of the night to find Christian frantically typing away on his typewriter, desperate to get his sparks of inspiration on paper before they disappear. You kiss him on the cheek and he guides you to sit on his lap while he writes. A cute gesture which never works well for long.
O - Open (When does he open up about himself?)
To reiterate, Christian wears his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't really have any secrets. If you want to know anything about him, just ask, and he'll be happy to answer. He's also a great conversationalist so he volunteers information about himself pretty naturally.
P - Patience (How easily angered is he?)
He's not quick to anger at all. Since he's a writer, he'd rather use words to solve conflicts.
Q - Quizzes (How much does he remember about you?)
Everything! Not just the things you tell him directly either. He pays close attention to what you say and do. You're constantly surprised by the little ways he brightens your day all because of a random comment he remembers you making .
R - Remember (What's his favorite memory with you?)
It's impossible for him to choose his favorite memory with you for they are all dear to him. One memory that holds particular fondness for him though is from early on in your friendship. He was working on a song and softly singing it to himself. You were sitting next to him and you laid your head on his shoulder like it was the most natural thing to do. You said you liked the feeling of his voice vibrating. Your touch made his heart feel like it would burst out of his chest. He knew in that moment that you were going to have a special place in his life.
S - Security (How protective is he?)
He has an average level of protectiveness. Of course he doesn't want his loved ones to be hurt or taken advantage of. If he feels like that is happening then he'll do what he can to remedy the situation.
T - Try (How much effort does he put in?)
For Christian, there's no such thing as too much effort. He's a sincere man who loves wholeheartedly. He would walk a thousand miles on his hands just to see you smile.
U - Ugly (What are his bad habits?)
He needs to dial back on the absinthe.
V - Vanity (How concerned is he with his looks?)
Not very. His looks are important to him only as much as they affect you. If he knows that he's going to see you then he primps and preens so you'll hopefully like what you see. (You always do)
W - Whole (Would he feel incomplete without you?)
What is a singer without their voice? Or a house without a roof? That is Christian without you. You are the very air he breathes.
X - Xtra (Random headcanon)
He likes when you read to him. Even when he's taking a bath, he'll ask you to sit with him and read a story.
Y - Yuck (Something he doesn't like in general or in a partner)
He doesn't like pessimists. He's a very optimistic person and people who constantly tear down others' dreams or can't find the good in anything aren't people he associates with.
Z - Zzz (What is a sleep habit of his?)
He receives a lot of inspiration from his dreams and keeps a dream journal.
I hope you enjoyed this! Anything you agree or disagree with? Let me know! I love talking about Ewan's characters!
got that :3 in me
I received the news of the election from my friend. She texted me a somber message. So somber and random was it that I initially thought that she was in danger. I quickly realized why she would be sending me a message like that: we lost. There was a brief window of time between when I turned in my ballot yesterday and I read that message today where I was happy. I felt hopeful for the future. I was excited. We weren't going back. That happiness shattered in the blink of an eye.
On this day, November 6, 2024, hatred held in people's hearts for their fellow man conquered the love people have for their families, their communities, and those most vulnerable. Fear at the loss of the status quo for those in power defeated hope for a better future. Greed overpowered equality.
The people have spoken: Hate is bigger than anything in it's way.
send this to all your favourite moots and roll a snowball! KEEP THE SNOWBALL ROLLING!βοΈπ€βοΈπ€βοΈ :)
You're so sweet πβοΈπ
Hey y'all, I'm back! I took a break that lasted longer than expected and it's finally time for me get back to it. This is Ewan's first movie of 1999.
Genre: Family/Sci-fi
Rating: PG
Director: George Lucas
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Ahmed Best, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd
Movie Synopsis: "The Phantom Menace" is about two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who are sent on a simple diplomatic mission to help a planet in crisis. What they discover is a much larger conspiracy and that their enemy, The Sith, have finally resurfaced after 1,000 years. Aid for the Jedi comes from an unlikely ally, Anakin Skywalker, who is an enslaved child and believed by Qui-Gon to be the Chosen One who will bring balance to the Force.
Ewan Review: Ewan McGregor plays the character Obi-Wan Kenobi who is an Apprentice aka Padawan to his Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Obi-Wan is near the end of his Apprenticeship and is a very calm, focused, and prepared Jedi learner. While his Master believes little Anakin is the Chosen One and will do anything, even go against their Council's orders, to train the boy, Obi-Wan is not convinced. During their mission, Obi-Wan must use all of his training to confront the Sith and help bring peace to the planet. Ewan speaks in what sounds like a British accent for this role. He doesn't have any love interests, kissing, or nude scenes. His role isn't very prominent so he doesn't do much. He goes swimming with his clothes on if that is important to you and he has a fight scene at the end of the movie which is spectacular. His acting is fine for the little he's given to do.
Screentime Percentage: Ewan is on screen for a grand total of 23/136 minutes making his SP 17%.
To Ewan or not to Ewan: Is the movie worth watching for Ewan content alone? Sigh...no. Wait! Before you crucify me, just please take off your nostalgia glasses for a second! This movie and version of Obi-Wan is as dear to my heart as it is to many fans. However, my absolute love for this character doesn't change the fact that the man is barely in the movie. When he is, it's very brief scenes where he tends to be standing quietly in the background. He also has minimal lines. Even Ewan himself has joked about how he was basically hired to just stand behind Liam Neeson. The bulk of his screentime happens in the last TEN minutes of the movie. Ewan being in this film is a plus, not the reason you should watch. So, I'm obliged to say that this isn't the Ewan content you're looking for (pun intended). Now, is the movie worth watching in general? Absolutely! It's such a fun time, the world building is incredible and don't get me started on the film score! Plus, the lightsaber duel at the end is one of the best fight sequences in the entire Star Wars series.
Where to Watch: You can watch The Phantom Menace if you are subscribed to Disney+. The movie is available for rent on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies & TV, or Fandango at Home. You can also pirate it on soap2day.
