Catherine Standish in every episode of Slow Horses
4.03 Penny for Your Thoughts 🐌🐎
#I love how we see how clever she is in this episode#thinking of first desk ‘reading the cables from Berlin’ with the hope that david will remember it from back in the day and buy it#moving him to her neighbours to make him think it’s a safe house and just in case anyone else comes looking#lying when said someone else - flyte - comes looking and doing it SO convincingly#not to mention telling her to try asking river where he is#catherine standish the woman that you are#our smart cookie#also#im not sure if saskia does it intentionally#but when catherine hears someone coming up the stairs#she rearranges her keys in her hand in the way that all women have done - holding it between her fingers#just in case#again im not sure if that was the intention but its really subtly effective and something i noticed immediately#catherine standish#saskia reeves#slow horses#slow horses season 4#standishineveryep#louisa guy#rosalind eleazar#david cartwright#jonathan pryce#emma flyte#ruth bradley

I keep thinking and laughing about this person who was really mad that I said that the insistence on "destroy the Veil" is a desire for a specific power fantasy and they cheered a frankly tepid rebuttal to my post with "OP having 'New Yorker' in bio like that's an ethnic identity and not a city is killing me, Americans need to be sedated", which is just such an incredibly funny attempt at a dig.
First, it isn't at all abnormal for people who live in major cities, regions, or countries to list them in their bio using the demonym form, especially when they lived there all their life. I've seen all sorts of demonyms that aren't denoting ethnic identity, or national for that matter, but a place association. Second, and even funnier, the precise next thing in my bio is "Pinay", an ethnic identity.
Like, this is a legitimately funny thing to say and think you're actually accomplishing anything clever or making a deep point. I keep thinking about it because it's just so incredibly misguided and hilarious. Like, truly thought something was being said there.
also, especially because it has no relation to any discussion about, like, Solas, the collapse of the Veil, or even narrative construction across the series
#also being someone who lives and has grown up in a particular location IS a form of cultural identity#I'm not simply someone who lives in New York but I'm a New Yorker having been raised here and that DOES shape my perspective culturally#I will be a New Yorker culturally for a good while after moving LA or Seattle or even London or Berlin until my cultural frame shifts#(if it ever does! and I might simply be both things. 'tis tricky these cultural perspectives and frameworks attached to place)#acting like being from a place does NOT imbue you with a specific cultural identity intersecting ethnicity is... I don't know the word#“like it's not a city” it IS a city and living in places tends to have an effect on your perspective of the world due to its social climate#but a Parisian and a Toulousian have very different cultural perspectives as will a person from Beijing from one from Guangzhou#I know I'm like taking seriously a bad faith ad hominem attack but I think it really does betray something about how they think#I think laughing about that really does like convey that they don't actually think of place identity as culturally shaping#or why you would identify with a place as a cultural marker#which. I think about that a lot as someone in diaspora!

its not practical at all but i like to imagine that Gilbert, at one point, lent his voice to be used for the announcements for the public transit in Berlin, but then into the 2000s it was replaced by the electronic voice today.
Anyways, after Gilbert died, Ludwig asked to reinstate Gilbert's voice to be heard over the intercoms so that he can hear his late Father's voice everyday as he takes the S-bahn or the U-bahn. It took him a while to get accustomed to the grief, but it then became a comfort.
Sometimes, he takes the U-bahn on sleepless nights so that he can close his eyes and listen to Gilbert's voice, imagining he's still here with him, just like he promised he always would be.
#something something 'he still tells me what to do from beyond the grave'#i love the multi-faceted approaches to this idea because ludwig could listen to his voice as a comfort#or he could have had an annoying day at work and hes just rolling his eyes at gilberts voice announcing delays to the S-bahn AGAIN#i moved to Berlin like 5 months ago and i think of them a lot#aph prussia#aph germany#hetalia

I think I’m destined to be taken advantage of by my employer
#And letting it happen.#Did I ever tell you about the guy I worked for this summer#I think it’s gonna happen at some point#He took me out to dinner and started asking me about my love life one glass of wine in#If I move to Berlin he’s gonna be my lifeline#And I just know some day he’ll try something and I don’t think I’ll stop it#I’ve come to terms with it#I’ll let shit happen if it will further what I want in life idc#Whatever#Text#Sorry I’m really drunk rn#I don’t even careeeeee what’s done to me even in real life I really don’t care I can endure anything#I know shit is gonna happen I don’t think I can stop it#I don’t care i promise

@mondscheinprinzessin I know you don't listen to JO, but are those ballet moves? Or are they both just doing 💃🕺🩰 something?
Well, the person in white is doing a somewhat good spin, with a bit of trying he could make two rounds in one. Good posture. The one in black...I don't know what he's doing, but now I want to see them couple dance.
The one in white is Kris aka @morbid-things's lesbian wife or something, and I think he'd be very happy to hear you say he has good posture (although I don't understand how you can make two spins in one jump, how high do you have to jump for that or how fast do you have to spin? Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if he said he used to dance as a kid or something). The other one is Jan aka the one seemingly always with his head in the clouds, mit den Gedanken wo anders und in seiner eigenen Welt versunken und so, and somehow it looks like that's what he's doing here too, isn't it? He also has the most beautiful cat, behold, Igor the cat:


knocking over a phone to be in the spotlight


sleepy baby <3



frequently used in concert + new song promo


has his own uquiz and helps with the songwriting process
anyway, I agree, they should do a couple's dance. any specific suggestions? I know you said learning ballet as an adult is very hard to impossible but there has to be something they can do? @ alistair, thoughts on kris & jan couple dancing?
(refering to this video)
#they're going to berlin I think laura. maybe they'd learn a couple's dance specifically for you to dance in berlin if lou asked them nicely?#lou has to be the one to ask because she's the Youngling using instagram normally; I try to send one (1) message to a friend#and accidentally send it to the band it's about instead#I think you could like Proti Toku and Demoni live#joker out#what IS jan doing for real though#tried to make a dance move and gave up a quarter through?#saw kris do a thing and wanted to imiated it in an easier way?#answered#mondscheinprinzessin#kris doesn't have a pet as far as we know otherwise i would have added them too of course

#berlin please do the right thing and move to a good date#they're both gonna be announced next week so we'll know soon i guess#i just hope the race is very dramatizing this because a bit ago he said there was at least one if not more and now this article basically#says that there is one or zero depending on berlin ?

I feel a little bit sad that im moving from a more central area in Berlin to a more suburban one, but I think it’s just a matter of what i see outside my window changing. everyone says the area im moving to is wonderful except for the complete lack of nightlife. which like. i currently live in the nightlife hub of berlin and i have taken advantage of that exactly 0 times. in practical terms i would not be missing this. but idk i still feel a bit bad about it
#thinking of arcade fire’s suburbs#i was born in suburbia I grew up in suburbia and now im moving back to suburbia it’s like i can’t escape it#at least Berlin suburbia is more like Mumbai suburbia than US suburbia#in that it’s recognizably a city it’s just an area that’s more residential than commercial#that familiarity is soothing when I think of it like that actually. the area I grew up in in Mumbai wasn’t terrible it just wasn’t cool#but that doesn’t bother me now

Ok I just found out that Hannah Schygulla appears in this "Poor things" movie!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!
#She is a legend I love her so much#Also I met her in 2015#I gave her a key chain and she thanked me because she had just moved back to Berlin#Rainer Werner Fassbinder is my favorite director of all time so it is no wonder that I love Hannah too <3#I also love Emma Stone so I guess it is a must watch
