The Gentlemen | costume appreciation: 5/∞
Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass in S1.E5 ∙ I've Hundreds of Cousins
was the letter from vigilante creepy as hell ? yes . but nalini will be damned if they let some masked killer stop them from living their life . besides , they’ve listened to enough true crime podcasts to know to never let their guard down . and for now , there’s a halloween party in full swing . and if they can’t fully enjoy their time , what was the point of attending in the first place ?
nimble fingers grasp the stem of the cocktail glass as hips sway to the beat of the music . “ aww thank you ! ” free hand reaches out to grab sapphire’s as a friendly gesture . “ i was a little worried that i wouldn’t get it done in time but i think i did a decent job , ” laughter expels past the designer’s lips as they display their elaborate poison ivy costume . complete with the perfect ruby red wig . “ but enough about me ! ” lets go to wave their hand dismissively . “ you look FABULOUS . and i think you’ve captured the essence of diana ross . if someone thinks that the totally spies jumpsuit is sparkly and sequined … i’ll have to question if they’ve even watched the show . ”
who: open!
where: halloween party @ bootsy bellows
the letter had put sapphire on edge but she wasn't going to let some anonymous weirdo stop her from having a good time. partying was one of sapphire's favourite things in the whole world. she loved to dance, she loved the light airy feeling of being tipsy and she loved that it was socially acceptable to talk to everyone like she was their best friend. halloween parties also came with the added excitement of costumes. sapphire's costume was a recreation of a purple sparkly jumpsuit worn by diana ross. she was eager to show it off while having the best night of her life.
"you look amazing!",she greeted the other person. the cocktail she was holding matched her outfit. "i love costume parties but i'm always nervous nobody is going to get my reference. it's like what if somebody thinks i'm wearing a totally spies jumpsuit that's the wrong colour? do you get what i mean?" sapphire asked, gesturing for emphasis.
harlowe glances over at xavier as soon as he plops down on the vacant seat next to them . their cool gaze sweeps over the other musician continues to talk . try as they might , lucas’ death took a toll on harlowe . while their friendship with the prince was an unlikely one , they were still close . and they could’ve gone without vigilante’s chilling birthday message . “ i mean hey , at least you’re giving the man ideas . makes you wonder just how extensive his google searches are , ” they comment before shrugging at his question . “ i’m not giving him any creative ideas but honestly , he’d probably strangle me with a microphone cord or something . lay my dead body against my drum set . but just know that if he kills me , i won’t go down without a fight . i could probably get a couple hits in . call it a thank you gift for the birthday gift he gave me , ” they comment facetiously . “ but i think we’d be giving him a little too much credit that he’d take our preferred ways to go . ”
who: xavier & your muse
where: idfk ??
xavier plops down on the couch with a dramatic sigh . " you know , at this point , i'm starting to think the killer's right . we are kinda terrible . i mean , look at us , " they wave a hand at the scene—vodka bottles tilted sideways , joints half-buried in ashtrays , and scattered lines of cocaine across the glass table . " if i weren't me , i'd hate me . " leaning back , they tap their chin thoughtfully . " and you gotta give it to this guy—he’s creative . when it's my turn , i want him to go all out , like , maybe sharpen my old cds and launch them at me like ninja stars until , bam , poetic justice . and yeah , i said when , because let's be real : statistically , i've made enough poor life choices to qualify . " then he glances over , eyebrows raising . " anyway , that's my preferred way out . what about you ? "
despite now running in the same circles , it never ceases to amuse harlowe just how much of a fan ace is of their music . don’t get them wrong ! it’s nice and they’re grateful . but they’re going with the assumption that it’ll take a bit more time for him to adjust so they’re sure the giddiness will pass eventually . “ it’s like the cinderella effect or something . but i gotta say , i’m a little disappointed . thought they’d hold out for another hour , y’know ? feels like 1AM kinda behavior . ” eyes will playfully roll at his comment . “ who me ? and take that honor away from you ? ” they’ll jest . “ i’m just saying that the rando probably will have done something to deserve it . what do you take me for ? just because i’m a rockstar doesn’t mean i’m completely uncivilized . ” and perhaps that’s why they took to him so quickly . nothing forms a bond quicker than knocking a jerk flat out . “ but i am thinking of getting outta here soon . maybe grab a bite at in-n-out or something . could go for a burger honestly . you in ? ”
shifts his weight , hand shooting out instinctively to land firm but gentle on harlowe’s shoulder , steadying them before they get shoved deeper into the crowd . “ nah , i’m good . drink’s safe . ” and shakes his head with a slight grin , playing it cool — even if inside , he’s a little giddy . ( i mean , it’s not every day your favorite musician turns around and checks on you , you know ? ) . “ but you might be right about leaving early . midnight hit , and they all turned into animals , swear to god . i mean , could stick around , but i dunno … wouldn’t wanna risk you takin’ someone down tonight . can’t have you going viral twice for knockin’ out some rando , can we ? ” lips pull into a teasing grin . ( they’re kind of alike in that way — both the type to throw fists at the right kind of jerk who deserves it . and by the looks of tonight’s crowd , it might just come to that if they hang around any longer ) .
⊹₊⟡⋆ kaya scodelario + she/her ⊹₊⟡⋆ blasting back in black by ac/dc through their airpods is FREYA RIBEIRO . oh , you don’t know them ? they’re the thirty2 year old executive ( pr agent & ceo of her own boutique agency ) who just went viral for verbally eviscerating the paparazzi and successfully stopping a barrage of negative press for a very high profile client . yup , the one that drives a bmw m8 competition convertible . i hear they’re pretty +incisive , but others have claimed that they’re quite -acerbic . that makes sense , considering they’re often labeled as the non-idle rich .

truthfully , harlowe couldn’t care less about what the press had to say about their little encounter with one of the paparazzi . after spending a majority of the adolescence in the public eye , the negative press no longer fazes them . it’s cutthroat . and while it’d be GREAT if the paparazzi ceased to exist , they doubt that it’ll ever happen . at gwen’s question , harlowe shrugs and smirks lightly . “ i think they should count themselves lucky that i wasn’t driving . but honestly , i don’t care . there’ve been worse things said about me . ” exhibit a , the negative claims that satanic panic is back because they’d transitioned from their child star image to their rockstar brand . “ besides , i clearly don’t think they’ve learned . and i doubt they’ll ever learn . they swarmed tobey maguire before that . and i’m pretty sure they’ve even swarmed tom hanks when he was out with his wife . getting a swing in was justified . it’s not like i destroyed their five thousand dollar camera setup , y’know ? ”
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓 ; @imb3rs.
gwen & harlowe.
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ “ i saw that article about you , ” she mentioned , the words followed by a soft sigh . the press could be so brutal , and for what ? while gwen might've loved attention herself , she still detested the fact that the media had always been so eager to show the worst parts about a person during tense moments . it might've made them a quick buck , but from a moral standpoint , she couldn't stand it . “ if you ask me , i think you actually went a little easy on them , ” gwen told the other , shrugging . “ some people just need to learn how to respect personal space , really . hopefully they don't make the same mistake with someone else . how are you feeling since all of that went down anyways ? ”
