alycia: likewise. i feel like working on a new album is special update worthy. i bet all the fans are super excited about that after you've all sort of done your own thing for a while. i'm sure it's gonna be amazing, and i can't wait to hear whatever you guys cook up. not a whole lot on my end. i've just been a busy little bee work wise. i think the newest, biggest news i've gotten so far is that i've been cast in the new godzilla vs. kong film.
luke: aye, good to hear from you. i'm good and the family is good. don't really have any special updates except that i'm working on the next 5SOS album. should be dropping that sometime in the later year/next year. what about you? what's happening in your world?
thank you! i am beyond excited about it. i grew up watching godzilla with my dad, so to be part of it now is such a huge thing for me. i have never done anything monsterverse related, so this is going to be quite the experience. 2027 does seem so far away, but i know it's going to take about that long to perfect the whole thing. you can't have a film with amazing visual effects like that and have it done in a year or less. that's terrible to hear, i'm so sorry. i don't know why fans have resorted to such violence lately. it's like they were raised with no manners. you are there to put on a show and everyone wants to have good, clean fun. they don't want to be pushed and shoved around. hopefully you and the rest of the group can revisit at a later date and things go a little bit better.
That's amazing to hear! That sounds like such a cool project to be involved in, and I know that it's going to make quite a bit of money when it does release. 2027 feels like forever away, but I know it takes a lot of time to perfect things and be to everyone's liking. I've been touring with my group as of late, but we're kinda running into a little bit of trouble with certain fans, unfortunately. I was hoping our 2025 would be better, but we just did a show in Peru where I had to walk off the stage and encourage the rest of the boys to do it as well. People in the audience were pushing, shoving and getting hurt but wouldn't listen to us when we were telling them to relax and chill out. I feel guilty for doing it, but I had no other choice, you know?
that's unfortunate. i can't believe there is another bug eyed, big lipped baddie out there. and here i thought i was one of a kind. i did hear that there were doppelgängers of ourselves out there in the world, but this is the first time i've heard about one for myself.
Spotted someone this morning who looked uncannily like you. Had me doing a full double-take mid-coffee. Either you've got a lookalike roaming London or I've hit that age where reality starts playing tricks (which is ridiculously likely). ( @alyvas )
that is the cutest reaction. it always feels my heart with so much joy to witness worthy people get the projects they deserve. imagine all of those adorable little girls who will see you and think, "wow! she's just like me, so i can do this too!". to know that you are able to touch a life like that is so beautiful. i had that when i played lexa. so many from the LGBTQ community felt so seen, and i loved that i could be part of that. have you? how far did you make it into the series? if you haven't made it far, then boy are you in for a treat. right? to see where i was two years ago to now is like night and day.
I still remember getting the call and just… freezing. I think I blacked out for like five minutes before I fully processed it. And you're so right, the fact that the Star Wars universe is making room for more women, more people of color, more depth, it makes being part of it feel even more meaningful. I actually started binging FTWD earlier this year. You brought so much grit and heart to that role. I loved it. Isn’t it wild to look back and realize how much we’ve grown since those early days?

alycia: hello friend! i've been doing well! been all over the place promoting my latest project. life has finally started to slow down for me and i'm able to breath again. what about you? i've been snooping your insta and saw you've had a few things going on. so proud of you! alycia: i saw you came out with your own condiment line! i'm not exaggerating when i say i wanna try them all. i'm gonna have to grill myself a fat steak to try all of them.
glen: alycia! how've you been friend? we need to hang out soon because it's been too long. glen: also, you need to send me your address because i have some smashin' condiments i need to send you. // @alyvas
aussie hell is the worst kind of hell to find yourself in, so the studio should be shaking in their boots. i feel like that's why my love for marvel isn't as much as it used to. i feel like they were trying to milk that cow as along as they could, and after a while the quality started to go down— at least for some films. i love that for you, because if that title doesn't invoke fear into the studio then i don't know what will. i would love to marvel in a spiderman movie, but i don't know if that will ever come.
alright, alright — message received loud and clear. i’m honestly a little scared for the studio now... aussie hell sounds intense, and i fully support it. you’re absolutely right though — if they hadn’t been off making seventeen different spin-offs and squeezing every drop out of the multiverse, maybe we’d already be swinging through another film by now. but hey, i admire the commitment. i’ll consider this your official application to be the voice of the people — and if i do end up in those meetings, i’ll just casually drop, “alycia debnam-carey is not impressed and she’s sharpening her boomerang,” yeah? also, side note — if you ever want to cameo and show them how it’s done, i’m just saying… you'd make a killer addition to the spider-verse.
alycia: the realest. you act like i live in australia full time. 🤣 but yes i did have to run off to europe. i had a special friend waiting on me, and the vacation was very much needed. gonna have to respectfully decline that facetime request. i'm sorry.. alycia: how is the little one doing? i know it must be difficult dealing with that chaotic toddler stage. i bet she has you wrapped around her tiny little finger.
abel: are you for real? damn you really had to run in europe as if australia wasn't far enough. I take facetime request, tho abel: and hey, I appreciate the hype. Truth is, half the time I am dead to the world—just with a toddler climbing on my back like I’m her personal jungle gym. But it’s worth it. She’s the boss now, I just follow orders y'know.
i'll be honest with you i hate the whole influencer culture. a lot of them deserve their platform, but some of them just irk me. it might be an unpopular opinion, but it's mine nonetheless. you can tell the ones in the crowd did not have parents who introduced them to the classics, and if they did then they should be ashamed for not paying tribute to one of the greatest living legends. imagine coming out on live stage, playing your entire soul to that crowd, and they give you a mid reaction at best? i couldn't relate. i would have been sat— front and center. you may not be freddie, and no one could ever be as legendary, but you are phenomenal, and i think you have such potential to be the greatest of your generation. i didn't go. i'll be honest i've never been to one. i'd love to go, but definitely not to coachella. i love more of the less sought out festivals. those are always the most fun.
i know coachella is known as the influencer olympics but i was so bummed that people don't realize what a gift sir brian is. a guitar virtuoso, an astrophysicist and one of the most legendary names rock history. plus, he's recovering from a medical event and he still played like that?? geez, he deserves his flowers so much. oh gosh, that's so kind of you to say. i had this crazy idea of wanting to play the song and trust me, i had so many people tell me i was a headcase for it but i think it paid off. i know i'm not freddie, there's literally no one that can ever match that man but i still had the best time showing respect to a band that i grew up listening to. did you go the coachella this year? are you usually a festival goer?
i know you didn't. you never did mind me waking you at all hours for things that made me happy. you were always good to me in that way— and other ways too. i'm quite spoiled when i'm with you. i have a feeling that you will play all of your cards right, and then some. that invite of yours is already signed and sealed. i wish you didn't have to keep it so secret, but i understand it. i'm sure the big reveal will be worth the wait. although, i have a big ol' hunch that elven prince will be the final reveal. it would be such a missed opportunity on their behalf. i mean this with my whole chest when i say there is nowhere else i'd rather be than by your side— for the highs and the lows. i don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but i'm pretty sure whatever it is that you want isn't as out of reach as you might think.
You know I didn't mind you waking me at all, love, because I was happy seeing you so happy. And I'm glad to be around to support you, and I'll always be your biggest support system, no doubt about that. I'll always be your biggest fan too! You know if you invite me, I'll come to set without a problem, darling, and I suppose I could play my cards right easily enough to score that plus one too. It sucks that I have to keep my role so hush-hush because I've been dying to tell you who I'm playing, but I think you'll enjoy it when I'm able to tell. You being proud of me means a lot, you know that, right? Since you've been around for so many of my lows and my highs. Oh, I don't know. I feel like saying them out loud will make me a little too vulnerable for my liking.
