You Would Be In Even If You Didn't Make It Past The Opening Scene? That's A Real Ride Or Die Right There.

alycia had gotten lost in a state of bliss. since their return from prague to the uk, she had been riding the high of her new found relationship with jamie. a part of her had always hoped they'd end up together. any sort of future she had ever seen for herself involved him, but he had always been out of reach. she never thought she'd be here, standing on the balcony of their suite over looking a city they were going to call home for the time being. she had fully prepared to spend her break from work alone with her thoughts, but this was a better alternative.

alycia had gotten lost in the views of the city from where she stood. there was something so authentic and beautiful about the UK, and she could have gotten lost in the views until her attention was pulled elsewhere. a sense of comfort took over as soon as she felt the embrace of familiar arms around her waist, the hair on the back of her neck standing at full attention when his lips made contact with her skin. he had her so easily wrapped around his finger. "hmm..." there was a playful tone to her voice as she pretended to give some thought to what activities they could do that day. "a stroll through the city does sound tempting, but the idea of spending the whole day in bed with you sounds a lot more tempting." she turned until her back was against the railing, both of her hands settled on his chest as she leaned her entire frame into his. "what do you want to do? a stroll through the city or me?" she teased.

Jamie would admit that it felt a little surreal to him that he and Alycia were now officially a couple, something that he'd wanted to happen for a while but he never thought would. The fact that she had the same feelings for him that he had for her made him feel like he was on top of the world, and there was a part of him that couldn't help but feel a little sad he hadn't said something sooner. They could have been together for a while now had he just gotten the nerve to put himself out there, to tell her what he was feeling. But that didn't matter now, they were together, and Jamie was going to enjoy every second of it, but he was also going to make sure to make up for lost time, because he wanted to spoil her as her boyfriend, not just her best friend.

They had left Prague after his convention was over, and they were now in the UK, and while he was getting prepared for filming, he still wanted to make sure to make time for him and Alycia to do things together. Even though she had told him that she would be happy staying in the small hotel room with him that the studio had booked, he'd still managed to talk the studio into giving him a little bit of an upgrade and at least getting a suite for them so they had a little more room together. It was a gorgeous room, and Jamie felt pretty lucky that it had a lovely balcony, which was where Alycia was right now, and Jamie couldn't help but smile as he watched her from the room. She was so beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel a little giddy in that moment that she was his.

Walking out to the balcony, Jamie approached Alycia and wrapped his arms around her from behind and dipped his head down to press a kiss against her neck. He looked at the view for a moment, wondering what she'd been watching before he'd gotten there, before speaking. "So, how do you want to spend the day today? I have the whole day to focus on you. Do you want to go explore the city for a little while? Maybe find another haunted adventure? Or do you want to stay in the hotel for a while and go back to bed?" He asked the last part in a more teasing tone than anything, but had she picked going back to bed, Jamie would be all for that, of course, because he couldn't get enough of Alycia, and he was pretty sure she knew that. @alyvas

ALYCIA DEBNAM-CAREY ph. Martin Rusch Story + Rain, March 2025

fighting for tickets with ticketmaster is a pain. you almost have to have the best luck in the world to beat out the resellers. i wish they would put a stop to that, but alas that is the way of the world. someone is always out to get someone, or try and profit off of someone else's success. congrats on the tour, though! i know the world has been itching for another gaga tour, myself included. oh man— i just recently saw sabrina carpenter in concert and that was such an amazing experience. i just love her. i also just scored tickets for me and my dad to see metallica this summer for his fathers day gift, so i'm pretty excited for that as well. he's been a huge metallica fan for sometime.

I'm kind of losing my mind over how my TikTok notifications are blowing up since I announced that I'd be touring MAYHEM and people have been able to get tickets. Or not get tickets. It's never a perfect process and someone's always inevitably disappointed not to make it, but I'm so excited to sing and dance with those that did win the Ticketmaster war. All of that said, what's been your favorite concert experience – it could have been as a child, teen, or more recently... I wanna know! Anyone still touring that I just have to see? @hfrpstarters

😘

speak for yourself, oliver! if the rumors i've heard are true i might never recover from this season. all i gotta say is you better tell peter krause i love him, and that bobby nash is untouchable. but also a huge congrats on getting renewed for season nine! my favorite cast continues to thrive. ugh— i'm excited for you to have some time off with them too. do you have any plans once you get there?

i have never been more excited for those that watch 911 to watch the new episodes coming up! shit is going down and i can't wait for it be out in the world. i also can't wait for filming to end, never thought i would say that, but i really want to get to NYC more and just hang around with the fam in some beautiful warm weather. who else is excited for the summer?! @hfrpstarters

i knew you were the right person for the job. i think if i twist this script into a rom com, you'd be the perfect boyfriend to sweep some lady off of her feet. the type that the audience roots for the entire time. thank you so much! i am still buzzing about landing the role. i had no idea when i auditioned that i would even make the cut. i was going against some pretty big names for that role, so being among the few who were picked— it's legendary. plus i do get to go toe to toe with titans— and hopefully i'm the one working with godzilla, and not against him. i did. walking away was difficult, and i didn't have much going for me job wise, so it was a huge risk. fear was a constant paycheck and i was taking a huge leap of faith on myself, but it worked out well in my favor. i appreciate you, more than you know. your friendship has meant so much to me. ha— i'll just tell them to put you in the next one. i have connections with them now.

you know i’m ride or die — opening scene, closing credits, hell, i’d even be that guy who gets resurrected in the post-credits scene if that’s what it takes. i’m committed. but seriously, i’m holding you to that promise. this character? no dying off early. he’s sticking around until the end, making it count with a slow-motion walk to insert epic finale here. we’re talking legendary status. and hey, godzilla vs. kong? that’s next-level cool. you get to go toe-to-toe with radioactive titans, and i’m honestly just waiting to see what kind of destruction you bring to the screen. talk about an iconic moment — forget the MCU, this is where the real action’s at. you’re gonna crush it. i can already see you owning that role and being the one everyone remembers when the credits roll. i feel you on all of that. when something starts losing its authenticity, it’s hard to stay invested. you’re right — alicia deserved way more than what they were handing out. there’s a point where you just have to step back and go, “i’m worth more than this.” you saw that and walked away, and that takes guts. if it ever gets to the point where they realize they messed up and bring that fire back, they’ll owe you an apology for not recognizing the potential when it was staring them right in the face. but hey, if you ever need a sounding board, or just someone to send you the most ridiculous motivational messages when you're feeling like you’re in the trenches, i’m here. honestly, I’m so glad to be cheering you on — don’t ever forget that you’re gonna go far. and if i ever start getting jealous of your epic godzilla vs. kong role, i’ll just blame it on the radioactive fallout.

i think you may have hit the jackpot with your little one's. i always said if i ever had kids that mine would be little monsters as a form of karma for all the chaos i gave my mum. it was a huge weight off of my shoulders! i feel so much better knowing i have something to look forward to for the next year, even the next two years since i'm sure 2026 will be full of promo. did you? i love that! thank you so much. tapping into that role was definitely a struggle and it took me to a very dark place, but i am so thankful for how well it was executed, and the entire series as a whole just came together so well. i don't think ollie has it in him to be that kind of guy. he definitely seem's like the type who will stick it out, even if he gets scared of the outcome. you found yourself a true prince charming. sometimes things happen when you least expect it. i don't like putting myself out there either. i've been burned so many times by people in the past that it just seems easier to be alone, but when the right one comes along you always know. i love that. you two are so cute. i demand an invite to the wedding when it happens, so i can shed a tear at how perfect you two are.

normally it isn't too bad because they are super great kids. honestly, i have been blessed with the kiddos that hardly ever cried, the two of them get along so great and i hardly ever have to hear the 'he's touching me' or 'he's taking my toys' fight. i'm genuinely sure i have the best kids on the planet haha. i definitely believe that other parents have it worse off than i do when it comes to kids but i will definitely take the compliment! i fully agree with you on it as well! parents are the unsung superheroes that people rarely see. i bet that was a huge load off your shoulders! i know you're going to just do fantastic! i actually watched Apple Cider Vinegar last week and you were superb! it has been crazy getting to do this whole thing with him. i was scared that he was going to be run off by how quick everything has happened but he has been a true hero. i only wish we had met sooner. but that's totally on me for not wanting to put myself back out there haha. i'm absolutely lucky to have him. not many people would be willing to take on a recently divorced woman in general, let alone one with two kids already. it's a task that is not made for weak humans and he has taken it all on in stride.

that's so cute. i think the fact that you are trying says it all. once that little one gets here you are going to be fully prepared. plus karlie has done this already, so whatever you feel you can't master she will be there to walk you through it. pregnancy is wild. i'm both excited and scared for the day i actually get to experience it. i love that for them, but i'm totally ready to battle it out.

not saying that i am already reading things, but i am already reading everything that i can possibly read. pregnancy is a wild and crazy thing the human body goes through. you are going up against Aisha and Jen but i think you will be giving them a run for their money.

that is sweet. i don't have any sort of hope that i'll ever make it big enough to join the MCU, but if it ever does happen i'll owe all of that to you for being my biggest hype man. it is a nice dream to transform into a superhero, though. right? i loved how fear was the first spin-off of the series, and it was original and it showed the decline of civilization, which after the original series you got to see a little more of the story. everything beyond that is just trash. i love jeffrey, lauren, and everyone involved in the spin-off's at the moment, but at what point do you realize you are just slinging shit at this point? i'll even repay you with a lead spot if my script ever makes it to film. been working real hard on my debut project, so if it ever see's the light of day i'm calling you first.

you say that, but let’s be real — the day marvel doesn’t notice you is the day they've failed. you’ve got that aussie fire, the screen presence that could silence a whole comic-con hall, and let’s not forget — deadly creatures recognize their own. if netflix is your playground, then marvel should be sending flowers and fan mail just for the chance to get in line. and yeah, you’re right again — it’s heartbreaking when these stories that meant something start to feel like conveyor belt content. the walking dead was lightning in a bottle at one point, and then suddenly it became “how many spin-offs can we throw at the wall before people notice it’s the same formula with new haircuts?” it’s exhausting watching something that once felt epic turn into an obligation. i hope they pull it together too. i really do. if we get the next spidey script and it feels like that, like something with soul again? i’ll know someone in the room actually cared. and trust me, if that day comes — i’ll be fighting to make sure your name ends up on that cast list. hell might freeze over, but maybe that’s just what we need to wake the industry up.
