that second hand embarrassment watching cm do his thing on stage and the brain attempting to superimpose tommy shelby over the top
#tommy would shoot himself before being in a band#politician yes but sing in public (without imminent certainty of death) no#always headcanoned tommy as being totally tone deaf like arthur held his mouth firmly shut under guise of cradling his brother when#they were doing their last dirge bleak midwinter hymn in the wars#see now *polly* would absolutely be in a band she'd be lead singer lead guitar#and lizzie would be on drums#none of the rest of them have the band vibe

tip for people with chronic pain/fatigue: lay down occasionally. haven't laid down in the past 3-5 hours? do it (if you can) and see how you feel. i've found that i'll lay down in bed just to be in my room, but then i get hit with an instant wave of relief because just sitting on the couch was too much for my body, and i didn't realize it.
when you're in pain or fatigued for a long time, your awareness of your body may get wonky - especially if you already struggle w/interoception due to neurodivergency. so. test it, sometimes. you can apply it to other things too: sit if you're standing. stop doing a task if you've been doing it for a while. have a small snack to see if you're hungry. etc. etc.

we watched (rewatched?) gremlins for our NYE outdoor party and in some contemplation of how significantly different/evolved movie making, movie structure, movie pacing, mystical asian stereotyping is these days, it was so worth it for the scene of the Mom going against every 'expendable female in a horror movie' trope and absolutely decimating the gremlins with household utensils
#...things audrey changretta would do#see polly would have tried a gun but there's too much finesse needed in aiming#blending the head off a gremlin and exploding one in a microwave however.#should've had Mom beating one into mush with a cast iron pan

9 out of 10 reddit forums agree~
That said, finding other weird things on reddit like people calling the incest the factor that made the series common -- 'it wasn't even taboo,' 'what is taboo' etc - ah, so all the other Taboo bits like the *cannibalism*, whatever happened with James' mother, weaving of witchcraft elements, molly boys and homosexuality, suicide, murder of a husband, etc, clearly not meritorious enough of the taboo title...
Every relationship in Taboo is more fascinating than the actual taboo incest relationship as depicted. Kinda feel like it did more work when it was an entirely offscreen 'absence' of a relationship; the initial catalyst and a deepseated underlying reason all along, but the moment they actually depicted it, it was significantly less potent than the strained absence of it's depiction.
When you think about how many Things the incestuous event/relationship triggered, actually showing it as a fairly ordinary sex act on screen was a let down. *shrug*
#i mean there's this issue of a shock factor right#what's left to shock#it's difficult to find shock in SK's brand of mannered melodrama#like in PB one bit that shocked me to the core like that cold-punch feeling was Mosley's 'wog language' comment#fffffffffffffffffffff#can't think of anything else that really *shocked* shocked#delight-shocked in a ONTD way only

Such pain in:
right thumb
right wrist
right elbow
right shoulder
right hip
right big toe ball joint
and ~~~ left knee ~~~
#that random left knee#the right side pain is courtesy of carrying the 16kg toddler mostly on the right side i think#and mouse-hand issues#mostly i think the holiday flare-up is courtesy of intensely cleaning/clearing out rooms in the house#sigh

#taboo was a weird series#i remember enjoying it but it also failed to lodge in my memory with any kind of effective longevity#many intriguing fragments and characters and a tight coincidence-based plot but...*shrug shrug*#think it suffered again from a washover of too cool for school

what you mean to me - pettiot - Peaky Blinders (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Never felt gladder that he’d gone to the effort of that evening shave and a proper washup in the guest room he'd been led towards. As if there had been an option when there were that many rose petals somewhat purposely left floating in that jug and bowl, a shaving kit, and several rolled, wet, steaming, and scented towels packed with freshly cut, now partially cooked and soggy lavender. Not exactly subtle, though that was probably his own fault. Him and his highly unambiguous ways.

#my writing#tommy x may#tommy shelby#may carleton#i dunno what this is#i had vague thoughts that out of all tommy's women#may was probably the one that taught him how to give decent head#i did find it interesting that of all the tommy sex scenes the ones with may had camerawork focused almost exclusively on her pleasure

I have 700 drafts which are all vaguely conversational fannish observations across PB and DAII but have lost all interest in posting them. and then every time i log in, I add to these drafts, but...
?*shrugs*?
#interaction capacity exhaustion methinks#it's that issue of when you email people at work you will get a heap of emails in return...generating more work#sighing#it is 3.16pm and nothing has been done today#only the daycare run; trampolining; morning tea; dishes; leaf-sweeping; zambreros for lunch; talking to sister; picking up deliveries;#bakery with husband for coffee and bread; two walks; feed and water the dog;#responding to several difficult familial smses and emails; attempting to research aged care facilities; a short period of scrolling;#attempting to find worthwhile integrative care physicians in my area#and cleaning the lounge#and personal hygeine;#one hour of writing then posting;#finding out where sas rh s2 can be viewed in aus#this is “nothing”#this was supposed to be a 'do nothing' holiday#but this is the problem: there is no such thing as 'nothing' any more
