“Dieting? No fucking way. Taunting the Grim Reaper? No problem!”
➽ Olivia Dade does it again and delivers a swoonworthy romance!! Ship Wrecked is about Gods of the Gates co-stars Maria and Peter who are set to film their parts over the course of 6 years. After an awkward ONS, being together in close proximity might be difficult, but they are nothing if not professionals. I loved Maria so much, she's an aspiring Swedish actress who is hoping for her big break in mainstream media, so being part of Gods of the Gates is her chance. She's super outspoken, caring and brave! There is still a lot of fatphobia in the media industry and I admired how Maria took it head on, never letting others belittle her body or decide to force her into dieting! Peter is a bit more timid when it comes to upsetting anyone on set, as he knows Gods of the Gates is his chance at a career. Nevertheless, he adores Maria and wouldn't want to see her hurt! I loved their banter and the great chemistry they had 💗
