meet the moonlight

You know that feeling is mutual, mate. The twins have reached their second month and I honestly still can’t believe they have! It just feels like the time is moving so quickly. But you’re right that they’ll be sleeping through the night by then, and that’s certainly one advantage. Another is they’ll be old enough to go swimming, and both Lil and I are so excited for that. You ought to get used to being wrapped around their fingers, because they’re only going to get more cute as they grow up. You know us well because we’re absolutely doing matching family jumpers for Christmas! They have cute little flamingos and all. And there’s no doubt I’ll be emotional for their first Christmas, especially with it being so close now! Are you excited for the holidays? I’m telling you, you’ll melt completely at their imitations of smiles, and I know they’ll be excited to see their Uncle Will! And know we all feel blessed for having you around, and I appreciate your saying I’m doing a great job as a dad. People mixing them up is pretty common since we like to dress them alike so often, and I’ve toyed with using this to prank their grandmothers, just to have some fun. I know Lil would probably be on board with it since they’ve given us such a hard time whenever we want to check in on the twins when we go out and leave them with their grans. I can expect switching pranks with twins because it’d be a missed opportunity otherwise, yeah? We’ll just have to set the ground rule that they’re not allowed to do that to us! We’ve not had that moment of seeing their real smiles, but I’m hoping it happens soon! And you’ll know the second it does so we can cry together. See, and look at what a good uncle you are, always willing to replace their Disney clothing when they grow out of them! It only means I’ll be spoiling you with all the photos you’d like of the twins. I sent the camping photos your way, and sorry in advance for the sheer number even if I think most people should be used to us by now and how many pictures we take. I’m glad to hear the rest of the trip went well, and you know I’m always happy to meet up with you. You reached out to an ex because she was single? That can certainly be rocky territory, especially if things didn’t end well. Are there still feelings for her? We actually just got back from a holiday in Tonga, which was wonderful! And speaking of, I’ll have a whole new slew of pictures of the girls on the beach to show you when you visit!

I'm right along there with you in not believing they've reached their 2nd month and now nearing their 3rd. Time is moving quickly and you can't help but want to slow it down, yeah? Are they at least getting better at sleeping now? And that is pretty exciting that they'll be able to go swimming, they'll be bloody adorable in the pool and their swimwear no doubt!  I've accepted my fate that all my mate's kids are going to have me wrapped around their fingers, with your twins and Asmara I'm done for! Thank you for sending me a picture of you all in your matching jumpers, I'll say that you all looked adorable! How did their first Christmas go, mate? How many tears were shed between you and Lily-Rose? And I hope the presents I sent for the girls were okay, I'm still trying to navigate shopping for little ones, let alone little girls. The holidays were mostly good for me as I was with my family, and my mum made my favourites to put a smile on my face, yeah? Since I've become a sucker for their imitation smiles already, I'm anticipating when I can see their real ones! Especially if they're excited to see me! That's one thing I'll always believe in, mate, you being the absolute best dad. Seeing how good you are with the girls gives me a little hope for myself if there ever comes a time when I have a child. Even though I'm confused often with the twins, I love that you dress them alike so often as they're adorable! Please tell me if you prank your mums by getting them mixed up, I know it'll be hilarious! Though your mums have been giving you a hard time whenever you guys go out and want to check on the girls? I think it's in twin's nature to mess with people when it comes to switching, so yeah, there's no doubt they'll do it. But smart of you to tell them they're not allowed to do that to you guys! I hope you get to see their real smiles soon also, mate, I know it'll make your whole day! I'm trying to be the best uncle possible! I know we're likely all going to Disneyland Paris for Asmara's party, but I'm going to buy whatever the girls want when it comes to Disney while we're there because I feel as if it's my job, yeah? And you can never send me too many pictures of the girls, so please send as many as you like. I loved the camping pictures so much, they looked so cute! Do you guys plan to take them on more camping trips? Because it looked like they were having fun! Well, I mostly reached out to her because I screwed up badly and wanted to apologise, but I got nervous and just made the situation worse by being a prick. Not my best moment, yeah? I still feel something for her, but since I did something unforgivable, she hates me and it makes sense that she does. I'll be honest I was nervous to say anything to you about it because I know you'd be very disappointed in me when you found out what I did. I saw the photos on Lily-Rose's Instagram about you guys going to Tonga, I'm happy it was a brilliant time for you guys! And I can't wait to see all the photos of the girls on the beach, maybe we can meet up for a drink in Paris? I'll still want to come to see the girls but would like a little one on one time with you if you're able to.

I feel like when you’re used to the cold for so long, it doesn’t really bother you as much. Now that I’ve been in Florida for so long, I’m not sure I could move back to a colder climate. I live just outside of Orlando, so I’m a quick drive to the Disney parks. Have you ever been to Disney?

You’re right about that as it’s really cold in London right now and I’m not batting an eye at it, yeah? Though I’m thinking about how nice it would be to visit a warm place right now, maybe I should come to America and visit Florida. I’ve never been to Disney World, but I have been to Disneyland in LA and Paris. But I hear a lot of amazing things about the one in Orlando so I need to visit there! Now that I’m a part of the Marvel family, I feel I should visit there even more.

don’t make me emotional, fucker – because you know i wouldn’t know what to do without you either. and hopefully i’m always lifting your spirits because that’s what i love to do! i’m glad we got to spend a lot of time in london with you – but also with george & lily-rose, i love when she gets to spend time around her godparents. she’s got me wrapped around her finger as well, and so do those damn twins, they’re so fucking precious that they’ve got me wanting two more. don’t you dare ever say that i said that though – because i’ll deny it. you did wine and dine me really well, treated me like i was the classiest lady and you know i appreciate that. wow, nice segue there. going from speaking to putting out – then telling me you reached out to florence. i think that’s a dumb fucking move, and i have a feeling it’s not going to go as well as you hope, my dude. plus i’m a dick and even i think it’s a dick move to reach out to her just because she’s single now – and she knows it was with me, right? 

I don’t think there’s ever been a time where you haven’t lifted my spirits, mate, you’ve always been good at that. Rumour has it that you’re going to be in London more often now. Did you do that to be near your best mate Will? Or am I about to be jealous because you did it to be near your best mate George? Who is my best mate, by the way, I feel like you’re trying to steal him from me. Also going to tell everyone that you want twins now, better start looking for some ladies to become your next baby momma, yeah? Since you’re in London now, when am I expected to wine and dine you again? Well, when you’re right you’re right, yeah? Because it was a dumb fucking move and didn’t go as well as I hoped at all. I should have known better and I didn’t, plus you were right at it being a dick move. Yeah, mate, she knows it was with you. I think that makes matters worse in her eyes because of how close you and I are, so she assumes it happened more than once.

Everyone’s ready for parenthood in their own time, I feel like. And some never are, and that’s fine too. But yeah, I think those of us who do become parents have to be okay with at least some of their sanity going out the window, if we had much left to begin with. The diet and bulking up is always the hard part, I feel like. How’d that go, though? And see, the secret is getting a part where you’re mostly graphics so they can design the bulk around your natural skinny form than having the hours at the gym. Another way I was lucky having a smaller part. Hopefully between the extra sleep and the trip we had to Iceland, you’re doing good these days. You’re not allowed to give my kid any ideas on how to make fun of me, though, especially when she’s plenty good at coming up with those on her own. And I’m both cracking up at your cookies mishap yet also wanting to guide you in the kitchen because you’re right, slicing dough and laying it out on a sheet doesn’t take much. But never fear, you’ll be an old pro when I’m done with our lesson. You’ll have to let me know if you spied any good Swedish dishes you’d be interested in because naturally always willing to help with those too. I promise you won’t regret a visit to Lilla Ego though, not when they have the best food. I swear, moms will hold that stuff over your head forever. Doesn’t matter how many times you apologize as an adult, either. That’s a good method, knowing you only want to spend the time and drink the pints with good friends. I think we all hit that adulthood wall where we wonder why we’re doing the things we’re doing or the shine just wears off, you know? Part of growing up, I guess, but I can’t lie and say I don’t still chase the first time thrills in other places, just to keep things exciting. I’d just like to think I’m a little more refined about it since tastes definitely change when we get older too.

Both of my best mates have kids, and being around them makes me kind of want kids myself even more. But then I remind myself that I forgot to feed myself earlier, should I be trusted with a kid? I find it adorable how the lot of you parents say being a parent cause you to lose some of your sanity. After all, you all say it so fondly like you wouldn’t change a thing, yeah? Bulking up was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, and since they might make a solo Warlock movie they want me to stay bulked up which is even worse. I’m starting to feel jealous of you right now, mate, and dreaming about CGI. I’m doing pretty good though right now, been staying in London for the Holidays to be with my family. I promise if I ever meet your kid, I won’t give her any more ideas to make fun of you. I’ll just sit back and listen to her make fun of you, does that work? I tried to help my mum with cookies for Christmas and she kicked me out of the kitchen I was so awful, I’ll gladly take your help! I’ll hold you to making me into an old pro! So the Swedish dish I saw that I thought might be interesting to make is, Fläskpannkaka and another is Smörgåstårta. They looked so good, but I know I’d screw them up, mate! Though I think I might be heading to Sweden in the next few weeks or so for a bit of a holiday, just need to get away from London for a bit. So I’ll visit Lilla Ego then! It’s funny, my mum brought up that time I told her she was wrong and she wasn’t at Christmas as well and I had to laugh about it. I’ll admit that I’ve been more of a homebody as of late and have more pints at home by myself, which I think makes me sound sad. Nothing wrong with chasing the first time thrills in other places to keep things exciting though, mate, even if it’s more refined things you’re chasing. I think I might mix some things up this weekend in Paris for New Years, chase a little fun myself, do something I’ve not done in ages and hit up the club. But since my one best mate is the one throwing the party, I think I’m obligated to show up, yeah?

i’d been on the road for long enough to have forgotten how to function properly with free time on my hands. one does one do? because i’ve arrived home a few days ago and have watched tv ever since – which would be okay if i didn’t usually suffer from severe fomo. i think i might be going through an obsessive phase with chicago med, though. i’m not even into medical tv dramas but i’m entirely hooked and there’s no going back – or going out, not until i’m through with it. but enough rambling – hi, i’m victoria. or vic, or vicky, or madame victoria as i was referred to once. hope you are all engaging in more exciting activities than me. @gonehollywoodstarters​

Even though I’m not someone that goes out on the road, whenever I’m working on a new project I can never figure out how to function either once I have free time. I tell myself I need to go to bed early because I have an early call time, even when I don’t, yeah? I also always feel like I’m missing out! I don’t believe I’ve watched that many medical tv dramas, but I’ve heard some things about that Chicago Med and now I might be interested in watching it. Especially if it got you so hooked you don’t even want to go out. As a bit of a homebody, I approve. It’s nice chatting with you, Victoria, I’m Will. What did you do to get called Madame Victoria if you don’t mind me asking? I also can promise you that I’m not engaging in more exciting activities than you, I’ve just been drinking at home alone.

I still can’t get over how much I love meeting fans. Each interaction has been so wholesome and sweet that I feel myself tearing up. Lockeys are my favorite I swear and I know Secret Number wouldn’t be here without them. I’m hoping one day down the line that we’ll release a full album so fans can get a few songs to enjoy from us instead of a couple singles. That could also stern from my want to perform on stage more since I love doing so and getting to dance. Anyway I am excited for Christmas almost being here and I’m hoping I get to do something for fans as well as see family. Hello everyone! I’m Soodam but if you’d like you can call me Dami. I’m a member of the girl group Secret Number, it’s nice to meet you all! @gonehollywoodstarters​

It’s always been really fun for me to meet fans as well, I always like seeing the smiles they get on their face when they’re seeing me for the first time, yeah? I’m sure you have the same reaction when you meet yours as well. I’m sure you’re fans are looking forward to when you release a full album, especially the ones that have been fans of yours for ages, yeah? I’m not hip on your music, which sounds lame I realise saying it that way. But I’m sure you’ve got loads of fans! I’m pretty excited for the holidays myself, getting to spend time with my family always makes me properly happy. What do you hope to do for your fans for the holiday? Pleasure meeting you Soondam, I’m Will and I’ll have to check your group out! I’m just some silly actor myself.

Just because you apologised doesn’t mean I have to forgive you. That’s not how something works. You don’t get stab me in the back and then victimise yourself because I don’t want hear your excuses. You talk about it like all you did was forget to wash up your dishes. It doesn’t matter than it only happened once. That was one time too many as far as I’m concerned. Do you want some kind of award for coming clean? You broke my trust and completely broke my heart but fuck it… it only happened once right? That makes it so much better! The fact you’re trying to ratationalise it really speaks volumes and tells me I did the right thing leaving you that day. Regardless of whatever you say, it’s apparent that you don’t value me as much as you think you do. Yeah, it’s unusual for me to stay in one place for a long time. Usually I’m always flying out when I’m not working. How odd that we happen to be in the same place at the same time. Okay, we can meet up for dinner but no funny business, okay? This is strictly just to talk. Don’t mistake this as me wanting to get back together with if. If this’ll give you closure then I guess it can’t cause any harm. When do you want to meet? And where should we go? There are a million restaurants in London but it’s probably wise we pick something lowkey. Wouldn’t want people filming our interaction.

I’m sorry, tell me when I ever said you had to forgive me just because I apologised? And how am I trying to play the victim here? I’ve also never given you a single excuse, I told you what happened and I told you why it happened, what more do you want from me? I’ve owned that what I did was wrong, I’ve more than made it clear that I feel horrible about it, yeah? I’m not trying to win any award, but I just feel like I could have been a bigger arsehole but I wasn’t. I hate that I broke your trust and you know that I hate that I broke your heart as well, as it was never my intention to do any of those things. I screwed up and am fully aware of that, and maybe my wording was wrong earlier, but I just wish I could make it better, that's all. You’re wrong, I valued you above anyone else, I just fucked up. But humans make mistakes, Flo, and I’m just a human. Well, I’ll be honest the main reason why I’ve been in London is getting to spend time with George and his twins, plus Dylan was here visiting with his daughter. Otherwise, I’d have been in LA ages ago. All I want to do is meet for dinner, I wasn’t asking for any funny business as you put it to happen. I just want to talk, I’m not trying to woo you into taking me back, I do want to talk. And you probably don’t want to hear this, because of who said it. But Dylan said something that made me open my eyes and realise it was a dick move reaching out to you as I did. I should have handled it better, so we’ll meet on your schedule and meet wherever you want, just tell me when and where to show up and I will. We could always meet up somewhere outside of London, someplace where we could blend in and they’d not realise who we are. Well, not realise who you are, since you’re far more well-known than me.

You’re hardly a bad best friend, seeing as how we’ve not even filmed yet! But I’d not call you that under any circumstance, so might be a moot point. I’ve been reading that they typically starting sleeping through the night around six months, but I’m happy to take the longer and longer stretches we get compared to when we first brought them home! I’ve a feeling they’ll have a knack for capturing hearts given how weak both Lil and I are for them, and so are our families! We appreciate the compliments on our family costumes, and it was such a fun first Halloween with the girls. We have all the pictures to show for it, after all! You may as well get used to the waterworks now, because I swear I already have with how emotional they make me on a regular basis. Beanie is sort of smiling - we know she’s too young to be smiling because of emotion yet and she’s mostly imitating us, but it’s the cutest thing you’ll ever see! And you know I’m grateful you’re going to be around and in their lives, mate. I can’t help worrying over them and it won’t be something that goes away, but I keep telling myself we both grow in abilities as parents as our kids grow, so maybe it’ll be a little easier later on. I know that I just can’t wait to see the ways they’ll grow and change together, even if I don’t want them to grow up that quickly quite yet! It’s okay, because we’re still amused by the people who mix the twins up, and I don’t doubt they’ll probably play pranks on people when they get older as well! It comes with the territory of being twins, yeah? And you know the first real smiles we get, I won’t hesitate to call you up on FaceTime to show you! The Mickey ears and sweatshirts are honestly perfect for them, and I’m just hoping they don’t grow out of them too quickly is all. Don’t worry, I’ll always have plenty of photos to send you, and just sent the ones from Iceland your way because we went camping with the girls and took tons of pictures from that. And it’s always good seeing you, of course! Appreciate you coming along, and I know the girls were happy to see you as well. Did you end up having a good time the rest of the trip?

I know you’d never say anything like that about me, you’re a good bloke, yeah? Well, they’ve reached their 2nd month, yeah? This means you’re getting closer to 6 months and they’ll be sleeping through the night in no time! Given how precious the two of them are, I can’t say I’m shocked that they’ve captured your hearts and made you guys so weak because they’ve done the same to me. Since you did family costumes for Halloween, are you doing family jumpers for Christmas? I’m all ready for the waterworks I’ll be getting from you, mate, and I’d expect nothing less from a proud papa. The fact that she’s imitating your smiles sounds like the cutest thing and when I drop their Christmas presents off next week, I’ll be hoping to see them doing that smile in person! I feel blessed knowing I get to be a part of their lives, just as I feel blessed being a part of yours. It’s natural to worry, yeah? But I know you, you don’t do anything half-arsed, so I know you’re doing a brilliant job as a dad. How often do people mix the twins up? I need to know this answer so I’ll feel less bad about myself! But I think it’ll be cute to watch them mess with people once they get older about who is who, and I think that’s just a right of passage when you’re a twin for sure. Believe me, I’m waiting for the moment you call me about their real smiles because mate I’ll likely cry right along with you. If they grow out of anything I bought them, you know I’ll gladly go back to Disney and buy them more in a heartbeat! I’m always ready for photos of the girls though, so send as many as you want. Because I want to see those photos of your girls camping for the first time! You know I was happy to meet with you while we were in Iceland and even happier to get to spend more time with the girls! I did have a good rest of the trip, spent most of my time with Dylan and Louis and stayed out of trouble. Got into trouble when I got back to London though, yeah? But I’m a proper idiot that decided to reach out to an ex just because she’s single again. Even though she had a good reason to dump me. But enough about my stupidity, what have you been up to lately, mate?

i had a feeling you were mostly just teasing him because he was your best friend – and it’s understandable since he’s my best friend and i can’t help but give him a hard time myself sometimes. he takes amazing care of us – and yeah, i don’t play when it comes to how protective i am of him. he’s very much loved, though he’s pretty easy to love. i’m finally starting to feel somewhat normal. i’m still plenty drained a lot of the time – but it’s getting easier. i mean, george says i’m doing a great job at being a mother, so i’ll take his word for it! i’m happy that you’ve made time to come see us though – the girls already adore you, i can just tell. and i can’t thank you enough for all the things you’ve given them already, i can’t even imagine what their christmas is going to be like! but i understand wanting to give them everything, george and i are very much the same way. and it was great seeing you in iceland as well, doll. did you have a good time while you were there though? get into any trouble? or did you behave yourself the whole trip?

You know you and George are pretty much my favourite couple around, I don’t think I’ve ever met two people more in love and I’m just really happy for you two. George takes amazing care of everyone he loves, so I did not doubt that he goes above and beyond for you guys. It’s cute how protective of him you are though, and I know he’s the same for you. As someone that loves him, I agree he’s pretty easy to love. I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling better and if George tells you you’re doing a great job at being a mum, then you are, yeah? George doesn’t lie! I’m smiling at hearing the girls already adore me, because I know I love them dearly already myself. Now I’m wondering how much you’ve bought the girls already for Christmas. Though I might have gone wild earlier when I was shopping for them! I’m glad I got to see you guys as well, and I had an amazing time while I was there. I didn’t get into trouble, I mostly spent time with my mates Dylan and Louis. When I wasn’t seeing you guys that is. I saved my getting in trouble for when I got back home to London.

Having grown up in Ohio when living now in Florida, sometimes I miss the cold parts of winter. Snow and the winter coats and cute hats. I have to admit though, that I hate the cold. I’m so happy that I don’t have to shovel feet of snow every winter. I get a taste of the winter months while on the road for work though and that is more than enough for me. Which season is your favorite? or what do you like about the seasons you don’t like as much as the other(s)?

@gonehollywoodstarters​

I grew up in London and still live most of the time in London so cold weather is something I don’t miss out much on. I’m also someone that just enjoys being in the cold as well, yeah? But if I didn’t have to shovel snow that would be great! I like to visit Florida when I’m in the states though, what part do you live in? Most of my Florida experience is Miami. If I had to choose a favourite season, I’d pick fall because I’m such a fan of when the colours of the leaves change. Though I think all seasons have their benefits, yeah?
