𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐗

i knew i could count on you to see my vision. i'd say comedy is his thing, yeah. tina fey? now we're talking. should we try to pull her partner in crime, amy poehler into it too? don't know what roles they'd play but i don't even care. i simply want to be in their presence at least once in my life. have you ever met any of them or nah?

We have the same mind and I'm totally okay with that. Comedy better be this thing otherwise he's gonna be pissed that everyone associates him that way. Tina ans Amy? This is already shaping into a complete masterpiece. Hell yeah, we need to make this happen. Actually, yeah, I have met Tina before. We sat next to each other when we went to see a show on the West End. Do you think she'd remember? Maybe I have some pull there.

you absolutely will, since it'd be a crime if we were in the same place and didn't hang out. pretty sure i'd be gutted, so don't go breaking my heart. you know our garden will always be the most special to me too, and we can make some nice memories when you come see the birmingham one also. if it inspires you, i'll know my judgement didn't fail me and will have done my job. listen to you, taking us back in time to school days. that's so great for you, mate, that you've met someone who makes you feel that way. she has to be crazy about you too, i can't see any other scenario given you're a catch. i knew you'd probably get gifts from japan regardless, and i'll cherish them almost as much as i cherish you. thank god they saw whatever they did to put me in the show, since i'll cherish this experience for a lifetime. you know i'd never replace you, but i understand needing to hear the words every now and again.

Well, I personally had a great time with you. Still pissed I can't fly out to Birmingham yet, but I will say that Napa filled a void in my heart, bud. By now, our garden should be considered an historic place and I'm deverstated to know more people haven't thought of that yet. Once I get to Birmingham, there will be no stopping us. One thing I know about you, you've always had elite taste and I don't think I see that changing. I completely trust your judgement. Well, I never did quite act my age, did I? I guess it makes sense that if anyone's taking us back to high-school, it's me. She's amazing, I don't know how she feels about me, we haven't really spoken about that and I get too nervous to ask. Whatever she's around, I get so choked up, it's like I suddenly forget the English language. Seriously, you would be so embarrassed for me. Did you like your Japanese gifs? I went out my way to secure those for you. Thanks for saying that. If anyone tried to replace me, I think I would have to fight for your affection.

thank you very much, i do my best. i'm happy to be one of your favorite people. and yes, yes! i'll admit that i already wasted the first day because i didn't want to do absolutely anything. i just wanted to sleep the entire day, and honestly, i regret nothing. but i really can't wait to spend time with you, dude. i feel like it's been way too long, and things are always more fun when you're around.

Well, it's easy to be one of my favourite people when you're as great as you are. Man, I don't blame you. As beautiful as Napa was, when you need to rest, you need to rest. At least we got to see each other on the second day and I had a blast, bud. Are you back home now? I miss you already. Thinking about quitting my day job and following you around instead.

I really hope you can make some time for me, 'cause I genuinely miss you and I've been looking forward to properly spending time with you again for ages now. And Napa feels like the perfect place for it too, good wine, pretty views... simply the best. Out of the itinerary I'd really like to go on a hot air balloon tour, if you're up for it, of course. And outside of it, I will take any activity! ( @joekcery )

Napa was great, but I have to admit, being in a hot air balloon with you by my side was easily my favourite part. Don't think that's something I'm going to forget anytime soon. Maybe it's just you that I can't get enough of though because if I'm honest, looking over the edge of the balloon really did make me a little nauseous. Thank you for sneaking away to spent time with me. Hopefully this is one of the many adventures the two of us spending together. I wish more than anything that I was with you right now.

It looks like we are roommates mates for the time being here. When did you arrive and what is the one thing that you want to do while you’re here and now that we all have a little free time to roam and do some exploring? @joekcery

Let me say, I had a great time with you as my roommate. Thank you for entertaining me and it was a lot of fun doing all that exploring. I hope I wasn't too awful to share a room with. Are you back home now?

JOE: You always can. You're my best bud so I'll always be around to support you. Of course I considered it, idiot. What else do you think I use my money for?

PRIVATE: He did? God, of course he did. It's not like we're trying to keep it a secret or anything, but oh it's so embarrassing! I'll allow the older brother talk because I know it's coming from a good place, and 'cause I know you love the guy. But… yeah. I feel good, actually. Nervous because I tend to overthink absolutely everything, but good. Really good. Hearing you say you rooted for us makes me weirdly emotional, because sometimes I still catch myself wondering if I've imagined the whole thing in my head. But he makes me happy. Like, genuinely happy. Calm, too, which is not a feeling I'm particularly used to when it comes to this sort of thing.

PRIVATE: Yes, he's a huge blabber mouth, but I think he was just so excited that he finally built up the courage to do it. No, don't be embarrassed, I think it's sweet how crazy he is over you. I promise I won't throw in the older brother talks unless entirely necessary. The nerves are completely valid, especially considering how close you were as friends before all this, but it's okay. You're allowed to be happy as the two of you move into a new chapter in your life. I promise, it wasn't all in your head. Seeing you two together even when you were kids always made so much sense. I think everyone resisted saying anything because you were dealing with so much from the media already and we didn't want to pile on. I'm happy for you, Millie, you deserve this. Both of you do. You've found your calm in the storm, hold on to it. I know he won't be letting you go anytime soon.

Until the end of the year, they'll have me chained to these films, I fear. And trust me when I say that I'd very much prefer to be with you right now. So yes, I fully expect handwritten letters detailing your anguish, preferably with declarations of sorrow, and at least one line about standing by the window waiting for my safe return from battle. That's really funny and I need a good distraction these days. You're making me feel really emotional about it, Joseph David Keery. I'm already clingy enough as it is. But trust me, the second I'm free, you'll be sick to death of me again.

A deveratating blow to my already demolished ego. How am I possibly supposed to go on with life knowing you're booked for the rest of the year. It's a cruel dose of reality I wasn't ready for. Ever month, please expect at least two heart wrentching letters expressing my deverstation of not having you near. I won't only detail those longing gazes out the window as I wait for my beloved to return, I will enclose a photo so you will always have a reminder of the anguish I face when you're not around. You would laugh at my misery, wouldn't you? Not you triple naming me. Suddenly I feel like I'm in trouble and I can't for the life of me remember what I did to get me in this situation. Luckily, we won't be separated for too long. I'll be seeing you in Napa, my boy.

i'm stuck on you watching barbie by your lonesome first before your sisters pulled you in for a second round. that's adorable, actually. did you relate to the kenenough of it all, or were you just there for the pink vibes? that whole time was such a dream - so many fun looks to play with, and we made that coffee table book happen. and the dolls? i've always wondered what it'd be like to see myself in that form, but to know there's actually a barbie doll out there inspired by my iteration of her is genuinely insane. also, i've been low-key trying to lure ryan into a second installment, so keep your fingers crossed with me. who knows, maybe you'll end up seeing it three times if i play my cards right.

Well, I personally thought men could learn a trick or two from watching and it really did put a lot into perspective for me. As much as I love Ryan and his portrayal was great, I don't think the Ken of it all really had me as hooked as it should've. I was there for the hard hitting storyline and the impeccable costuming. I bet it was fun, it looked like it would've been a great thing to take part in and I'm really glad the role went to some who holds so much value with it. Do you have any of those Barbie dolls lying around your home right now? They made so many, but you must have a favourite. Did Ryan say yes last time because his daughter threw Ken in the dirt? Ask her to do you a solid by throwing her next Ken doll in the fire and that should reel him straight back in.

it feels like a crime that the last time i saw you was our trip to brazil, although i know i'm partly to blame for that with losing myself in filming. and you're on the road, so you're entirely blameless. if i haven't said it enough though, that trip was so nice and i'm quite grateful you made the suggestion. not to mention i know starting filming would have been a lot more stressful without it, so thank you, love. how's the superstar on tour life going? and am i going to be able to steal some of your time in napa, so we can properly catch up? @joekcery

Oh, Mia, you have no idea how much I've missed you. We're both to blame with how busy we've been, but it's so nice to hear from you that I can't even find it in myself to be mad about time we missed. Thank you for even coming out to Brazil. I had a great time and having you around to play tour guide made a world of difference. If you ever get tired of acting, there's a whole other profession out there for you. How has filming been since you got back? Hope you're not too overworked. Tour has been really fun so far, I had some time off so I've been free to relax for a while. You already know I won't be able to resist. A full catch up is happening and I'll even buy the drinks to show my appreciation to spending time in your company again.

what can i say? i'm always going to support my best friends, and i just hope they know i love them more than anything. i think it's important to remind the people you care about that you’re proud of them while you still can, you know? miami? say less, i'll be there immediately. as you should, i want to stay attached to you, honestly. i feel like the second we're in the same place, personal space is suddenly no longer important to either of us.

You have a heart of gold, okay? Every friend you have better appreciate that about you. Thank you for supporting me so willingly. Having you in my corner always means so much. Just so you are aware, I'm so proud of you too. You're easily one of my favourite people. Before we get to hug it out in Miami, we'll get to see each other in Napa first. The universe really must love us right now. Hope you're prepared to be held tight all weekend long by yours truly.

see, all the more reason to come visit, so i can show you all the charm of birmingham, of course! well, i don't think many gardens compare to ours just for sentimental reasons, but this one isn't bad. wouldn't surprise me if it was proper inspiration for a charlie's garden part 2. wait, a girl you really like? who's this girl you haven't told me about? naturally, i want all of the details, don't hold anything back. i hope you're having fun in japan too, and you know you don't have to bring anything back but yourself, even if i wouldn't turn away a gift on account of your good taste. work's going pretty well, and i still can't believe i get to be part of the peaky blinders verse. it's unreal. i like all of my costars, though don't you worry, love, none of them are even close to replacing you.

I would love to, but before I get the joy of your company in Birmingham, I'm guessing I'll get the privilege of running into you in Napa? The world just can't seem to keep us apart, can it? Our garden will always be number one in my heart, but it's nice you have a place to enjoy while you're over there. We'll see how good it really is once I give my verdict. Charlie's Garden is looking pretty lonely and could use a musical younger brother so let's see how inspired I feel once my eyes lock on the lush green grass. It feels so elementary talking about girls like this, but man, I don't know, she's amazing. Like, properly earth scatteringly incredible. Her name is Olivia and I don't know, I'm gone for her, bud. Haven't had the guts to say it to her face yet. She smiles and it's like I forget the entire English language. Japan was amazing and even though you're humble and never want anything, of course I got some stuff for you. I'll pass the gifts over this weekend and you better cherish them for the rest of your life. Being in the Peaky Blinder universe makes so much sense for you, I'm just surprised it took this long for them to figure it out. Thanks, babe, I would have to cause some serious trouble if you were to replace me at the drop of a hat.
