I Have Not Stopped Talking About It Since I Got The News. I Have Been Such A Huge Fan Of The Franchise

😍

your energy — it's this beautiful mix of elegance and quiet fire. you walk into a room and people feel you before they even see you. there's something so magnetic about the way you carry yourself—graceful, but with an edge. your talent — watching you act is like watching someone breathe—it's so natural, but so powerful. you bring so much soul and nuance to every character, it’s unreal. you don’t just play roles, you become them, and it’s honestly mesmerizing to watch. your softness — you have this calm, warm presence that makes people feel safe just being around you. it’s in your smile, your laugh, the way you listen like you actually care. you’re one of those rare people who feels like a deep breath after a long day. also, side note: your accent? dangerous. please don’t talk to me unless you’re prepared for me to melt into the floor.

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.

alycia: you have and will always be my favorite muse. am i? please tell me you got rid of all the ones where i've just woken up and my hairs a mess. if those ever got out my reputation would be ruined. ☺️ you always know what to say to me to make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the room. alycia: been looking for something fun to do and exploring an unknown city with you sounds like the best way to spend my off time. you had me sold at balcony view. could think of a million things to do on that balcony with you. 😝

Jamie: You're going to make me blush, darling. Though I feel pretty good knowing that you've got so many photos of me on your phone, I can say the same about you on my phone. And we both know I'd much rather look at you too, since you always look stunning. Jamie: It's never too bold for you to show up, love, because you know I always want to see you. And seeing the sights of Prague sounds a lot better with you anyway, it would have been boring if I'd done it alone. I'll be seeing you soon then, and I'll send you my hotel information. I think you'll enjoy the place I'm staying in, the view from the balcony is pretty amazing.

lexa will always follow me throughout my entire career, and i'm glad that it does. the fact that she still means something to the fans brings me so much joy. it's always been my goal as an actress to leave a positive mark on my audience, regardless of what i'm doing, and to know that i have means so much to me. it reminds me why i do this in the first place. ahh— just breaking ground! you will have to keep me updated on what you think as you progress in the series. i want to know what you think of alicia's character development. the world isn't ready for what we're about to bring to the table. we've only just begun.

Oh, I love that you brought up Lexa, because yes, that character meant something. Still does. The impact she had on the LGBTQ+ community is beyond words, and it speaks volumes about what you brought to her. I remember the rage I had when they killed her off. I’m officially on season 3! Slowly but surely. I’m trying really hard not to Google anything because I don’t want to get spoiled, but the urge is real. And yes, it’s surreal looking back. So cheers to the growth, and to us being part of the kind of storytelling that leaves its mark.

i would hope so. then again it took the longest time for me to convince my dad to get rid of his iphone 5. he was stuck to that thing like glue. this is why you are among one of the very few artist in this world who deserve to be famous. you care about everyone above the money and the ticket sales, and it definitely shows. i wish there was a way to group everyone into the same room. i know people wouldn't mind standing shoulder to shoulder for a chance to watch you perform. stop— you are so cute! to have a hug from the legend herself would cure all of my seasonal depression. that is so kind of you. i would definitely love to bring her along, and i'm sure she'd more than thankful to be anywhere. she's not a hard woman to please, even if she does hate crowds. i knew you were cool, and the fact that you love jazz and blues just cements that. i grew up on it too, mainly because of my dad, so he'd be pretty excited to know that others feel the same way. he's convinced that old school is dead, but it's very much alive, and you can see it in a lot of newer music these days. wait until he finds out you know of his band. my apologies in advance if he tries to persuade you to let them open for you. tell me about it. the 80's was such a great era, and i'm so sad i wasn't born during that time.

Thankfully, I think most of us are beyond the age of 3G in the so-called free world. It's hard to say what is and isn't happening beyond closed doors, what with the amount of NDAs that we all have to sign, but hopefully we'll turn a corner where people feel they're being treated more fairly in the ticket queue. I wish I could fit all of my little monsters into the one room, arena, stadium – whatever. !!!!! Oh my goodness, that's so exciting. Let me know if it happens and we can finally hug in person and you can let me know if the show lives up to the hype. If your mom isn't big on crowds, we can definitely make sure you're in a non-crowded area, lovely. Blues! I love it, and I love old school. A lot of people don't believe that but I grew up loving jazz, myself, although really I loved all music. Oh, Cosmic Spice? What a great name. You know, I think the '80s might have been our best era of music. I can't wait to meet him! All of them, honestly.

alycia: i feel like anyone who would give you shit given how busy you are isn't much of a friend. we are all adults which means we should be able to handle adult schedules. once you reach a certain age you can't expect your friends to drop their entire lives just to hang out. we all have responsibilities, and you have one of the biggest ones of all now. so yeah...thanks for coming to my ted talk: adulting edition. alycia: i love that. i think travel is definitely the best form of schooling. if i have kids one day i would love to home school them and just fly them around the world. teach them multiple languages, let them taste authentic food from around the world. it would be such a dream to give my children that life. shut up! i'm gonna need you to stop all of this australia slander before i express ship a huntsman to your door. 🤣 or a kangaroo telegram. alycia: listen buddy....i tried the whole epcot thing and halfway through i was so drunk i had no idea what century i was in. i can't act a fool at a kids park. alycia: i would have never guessed you were quiet and shy. nothing about you oozes that anymore, but i can see how that would bring us both to where we wanted to be. do you think your daughter is more like you, or is she more out going? alycia: auntie alycia is definitely ready for babysitting duties. just say the word and i am there. i'll have her saying 'oh naur' in no time. 🤣

abel: See? Probably why it works out. You're not giving me shit, and I ain't gonna give you shit either—just a fun friendship with bonus points, just how I like it. abel: I should. Gonna try to add a pit stop or two during my european leg of the tour. I want Aya to travel, best schooling she can attend in my opinion, so I’m gonna make sure to space out the concerts more. LMAO australia might be even worse tho… six hours of flying and I'm still in the damn country?? while in europe you would've flown three of em already abel: but let's be honest, nothing beat epcot for fast travel. have you ever tried?? abel: Now I can see that. I was the damn opposite—shy, introverted, making quiet plans for myself… and look where that got me. two opposite ways still lead us to the same path of greatness abel: Sure, you know I’d never say no to free babysitting LMAO plus that’d be a nice chance for you to finally meet her.

there is an extra layer of fear added to the whole experience knowing that so many people grew up loving these films. i just hope that i'm able to bring the franchise justice, and the part that i play in this new film is one that people love. i know the titans are the stars of the show, but i hope to share even a little bit of spotlight with them. patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to projects like this, and i know as soon as i get on set the whole thing is going to fly by. i think you did the right thing. the safety of your fans was at stake, so you did what you had to do when no other measures were working. i know it's not easy to disappoint the fans like that, but the fact that they are safe and protected means you care, and i know they feel the same way.

I loved watching it, too, when I was younger, and even now, I will still watch it on occasion. I really hope you get to enjoy the experience. It's always a treat when you're getting to work on something you know you're going to enjoy. Exactly, a lot of the effort goes into the effects and editing when it comes down to it. Having it be half-assed to rush it out isn't the best idea. Patience goes a long way, in the end. I didn't know how to handle it all at first. We were trying to tell the fans to stop and to be careful of one another, but it wasn't working. We had people being injured, a few people even fainted, and the last resort was for us to leave for a while. It all managed to calm down, but it was awful to see and experience. We've never had anything like that happen, and I at first thought I'd get in trouble for being the first to leave because it's usually the leaders call, and I'm not the leader.
