Gingy how do you think an actors au for tlc would go :)
HEYYY hiii ;) did i ever tell you how much i love you?
i see kai being this big shot actor. heād obviously be a nepo baby, both of his parents were actors and had a famous love story (met on set, now they give charity to dying children). they both had tragic deaths, leaving the public feeling very emotional towards them and shining more light on kai. say, kaiās also a teen actor, so the public also grew up with him. very famous, very loved, etc. he gets an oscar eventually, maybe two or three. heās talented!
cress would also be a talented āup and comingā actress. i mean, itās almost a matter of time before she gets an oscar. she came from musical theater (broadway, west end, etc), known for her lovely high notes and powerful belts people canāt believe someone so small can do. everybody loves her. winter is famous like kai, they were on the same show together. she mostly does modeling and other stuff, but occasionally returns to the screen. sheās in all those videos that āranking the most beautiful celebrities of all timeā yk? on tiktok? sheās always first.
scarlet would be a romcom actress that got really into action once and yearns to do it again. sheās very opinionated so she has haters (naturally) but people love her for her outspokenness. sheās also big on advocating for underprivileged children, especially those in foster care or have untrustworthy parents (like her). would wolf actā¦? i say, heās either a boxer, wrestler, or basketball player that acts terribly in corny movies. scar goes to one his matches and asks around for wolfās number immediately after. theyāre everybodyās favorite actress/athlete romance! oh, and theyāre hot.
jacin would probably be winterās bodyguard. i feel like heād be a horrible actor on purpose but heās actually pretty talented. he doesnāt like the spotlight. if he did act, however, heād be off social media, quiet for months, and the public would only see him during award season. and when heās out with winter. people donāt like him because they think heās weird, but he decides to be a guest on a talk show or something and they discover heās actually really funny. thorne would definitely act. i mean, he loves the spotlight. heād go for shows that have that one āhot and badā character. in most of the movies heās in, he has his shirt off. tons of āsexyā photoshoots. the girls go nuts. he loves it.
cinder is either a director or stage designer. i say stage designer turned director because she was discovered by dr. erland. sheās directing a movie about the moon, and somehow gets a very large budget (anonymous producer). she manages to afford kai, cress, and winter, gaining a lot of popularity for her movie. she also casts scarlet, jacin, and thorne. her and thorne have worked on previous stuff together and she knew that given the chance, thorne could be a great actor.
iko is a known costume designer. emilie does makeup. kinney does camerawork. leads are kai and cress, they have a love story, but they grew very close to each other. people online ship them, but, like, thatās family.
on set, kai is having a hard time with his character. he goes to cinder a lot for help⦠i mean a lot. i mean, the first thing he does once leaving his trailer is to get a black coffee and croissant to gift to her. even on days where heās not filming, he goes to āsupportā the cast, but he really only interacts with cinder. cress and winter notice this and like to tease him about it. thereās a side romance involving kai and scarlet, and after they film their kiss, she confesses that she had a crush on kai growing up (for giggles). wolf just happened to stop by surprise that day and witnessed the scene. cue one-sided beef with wolf and kai. jacin and thorne are meant to be best friends in the movie, so they have to work on āchemistyā. jacin ends up always pissed off and thorne runs to complain to cinder.
winter and cress see to be the calm ones on the cast, but winter likes to play pranks, and cress can get emotional at times. really, cinder felt like a single mother with a bunch of misbehaving children. didnāt help that she was younger than most of them. kai nags all the time, jacin simmers in a corner, thorne complains, scarlet laughs maniacally, cress apologizes like crazy, winter floats around, and she adopted wolf last minute who just eats everything on the snack table. she decides to make him a cameo.
cress and thorne get really close all of the sudden⦠like doing readings and eating lunch together close. like cinder and kai close. cinder is a little worried (romance between her children?) and she doesnāt want a headache. kai was enough. speaking of which, she did accidentally agree to dinner with him.
i mean, the crew gets really close on set. the movie ends up getting nominated for tons of oscars. iko gets an award, cress gets her oscar (yay!), the movie wins best picture, thorne gets an award for best supporting actor, scarlet, kai, and jacin get nominated! and winter! they win other awards (golden globes, AMAās, etc) but i mean the oscars are the big ones. the public love their friendship.
cinder and kai share a few kisses on set, but they donāt officially start dating until after. thorne and cress make it public during filming. so much for mo headaches. nobody knew wtf winter and jacin were. not dating but definitely not friends. i donāt think they knew.
anyways, yeah! thatās my au. also, the anonymous producer was levana but she gets caught trying to sabotage the movie and goes to jail. love !
