The Gentlemen: Refined Aggression – TV Review

TL;DR – This was a weird, odd, yet profoundly compelling opening to a series.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid for the Netflix service that viewed this series. The Gentlemen Review – It wasn’t all that long ago that I sat down to watch a truly bonkers yet very rough film called The Gentlemen. I hadn’t thought in a while, but as I was watching, snippets came back to me, and I…

i think yuuji gets horrible cuteness aggression :’)

HE DOES!! terribly so, he is so infatuated with you, he doesn’t know how to contain it sometimes. he’ll randomly hug you so tight you’re feeling squished, he’ll bite you wherever’s available—your cheek, your hands, your shoulder, your thigh and he absolutely does leave bite marks like he just needs to eat you and also something something he likes leaving a mark on you <3 sometimes he just squeals randomly and you’ve learned to just let it be, that’s just yuuji. he pinches both of your cheeks until they’re sore and you’re giggling and swatting his hands away and he can’t even apologize, he’s smiling too wide and all he can do his press a flurry of kisses to your face. he’s always putting his arm around your shoulder and pulling you into him, ruffling your hair a bit and then giving you another squeeze he just has to have you close to him and touch you and just hold you. there’s something in his brain going !!!!!!!!! all the time whenever you’re around

but it happens when you’re not around too. that squeal will come out of him if he’s thinking about you, or if he sees something that reminds him of you. he’ll be shopping with his friends and literally jump and scream and run towards a charm stand, cheeks pink and eyes bright as he proclaims that you love this character, it’ll look so cute on your bag, oh maybe he should get two so you guys can match. he really can’t contain himself sometimes 💘💘💘

Zhongli for the Genshin ask game please!

Genshin Character Ask game: Zhongli <3

There are entire several page long essays about the cultural inspirations of his character, stories, design, everything. Imo, he is Genshin's favorite in terms of level of cultural inspiration and pride to this day. You can read about a lot of them here!

One of these is his left thumb ring, which is called a 韘 / Shè in ancient China, and 扳指 / Bān Zhǐ now, implying he can shoot arrows with his left hand!

The English translation did not do justice for a number of translations in his 2nd Story Quest, which you can read about here!

Most notably, Azdaha (aka Re Tuo in Chinese), wrote a whole poem about just how amazing Morax is, and that the title of the question "No Mere Stone" is also inspired by a Chinese poem: "我心匪石 不可转也, 我心匪席 不可卷也"

The most beautiful Kaya Scodelario looked in "The Gentlemen". And the overall scene is something that can actually be so personal. Him seeking her out. Like ending episode 6 thinking mom and dad (mum and dad) are going to war with each other...and then this...and then still the last two episodes being a roller coaster of whether or not they are going to be the literal death of one another. I have never had so much Good Stress from a ship that was Bad Stress when I was actually going through it. I aged and greyed so much through parts of this show, my poor heart.

To me, they have this low-key Bruce Wayne x Selina Kyle dynamic (sooooo, Bobby Glass would be Carmine Falcone? I can work with that), which, given how BatCat is one of my lifelong OTPs, I am sure subconsciously pulled me in. Like posh boy that can get down and dirty (so his ski mask era would be his Batman era 😅😂 "We're not criminals, Freddy"), however much he sees himself holding a higher moral ground over the underworld he must move through. And working-class girl, street smarts, that can no less look "elegant and stylish" and navigate the upper echelons; but at the end of the day is who she is and matter-of-factly💋💋💋💋a career criminal. (Kaya honestly even works as a face claim for Selina though her eyes may be closer to blue than green. I mean, the Gunnverse has to cast a Catwoman eventually, depending on the age range of their Batman... I will just leave this here for you for free, James.)

And then Princess Roseanne, the Countess of Tournai, would be Talia Al-Ghul especially when Susie lets slip some jealous vibes towards her (made me think of Anne Hathaway's snark about Marion Cotillard in the last Nolanverse film...the characters, not the actresses). Though ultimately I do see Eddie and Princess Roseanne as Just Friends and no conflict in that direction unless further miscommunication. (So much Misunderstanding Drama in this series and between OTP. When a good romantic comedy is not a romantic comedy; or even entirely a comedy.)

But really it comes down to their having such an *easy partnership*, naturally yielding to one another when it comes to it. The way Susie has her way about things -- most notably when she invites herself to meet Stanley Johnston -- and Eddie smoothly submits to her without in any way seeming whipped. Like their actions are always in agreement, even when their words are not. Those two are more married than most married folks I have seen on screen. Should have blacked out in Nevada than on the estate.

(Also, gotta love how she has him saved in her phone as "The Duke". Like forget Bridgerton...I would watch an entire season of TheoKaya going at each other in, Bridgerton ways. As it stands with this though, I could see how the greater artistic choice might be to just make this a stand-alone, but I would be greedy for any subsequent season. This is already technically an expansion on a film -- that I have yet to see -- so Guy Ritchie does not mind a revisit. I could use any more of these 2 families who fully drive the story of this world.)

This was so unnecessarily rude! 😅 And actually an example of why I’ve personally refrained from expressing any of my opinions against Maureen😅 I knew she had diehard fans and I personally don’t want to open this app only to read stuff like fuck my loyalty and to lay off with my opinions 😅 Especially when the author of the character that’s being discussed has said that they enjoy those opinions 😅

I know I’m being passive aggressive so don’t answer this if you’re worried about ruining the vibes on here. I just fear that an ask like that IS ruining said vibes though.

Yeah. I can see that very very very clearly. Sometimes I do feel like maybe the subject has been exhausted? Respectfully at least? Or at least maybe until there is actual new content to dissect, actually threshed out back story and more current things to consider for her.

Yet, I want asks on her. I would love some on other topics regarding her, ones that are more universally enjoyed. I’ve got a few here I’m working on, headcanons for certain things. That’s the vibe I’d like for all of these, and while I do love a good discussion I want it respectful on my blog.

1970 Oldsmobile 442

The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is a classic American muscle car that epitomizes the power and style of the golden age of performance vehicles. The 442 moniker stands for four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts, a formula that promises an exhilarating driving experience.

Under the hood, the 1970 442 is equipped with a 455 cubic inch V8 engine, capable of producing an impressive 365 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. This engine, known as the Rocket 455, is legendary for its raw power and smooth delivery, making the 442 a force to be reckoned with on the streets and the drag strip.

The exterior of the 442 is a blend of aggressive styling and refined elegance. It features a long, sleek body with bold lines, a prominent grille, and dual hood scoops that hint at the car's performance capabilities. The rear of the car is just as striking, with its distinct taillights and a subtle spoiler that adds to the overall sporty appearance.

Inside, the 442 offers a driver-focused cockpit with high-quality materials and a design that emphasizes both comfort and performance. The seats are supportive, the gauges are easy to read, and the overall layout is intuitive, making it a pleasure to drive.

The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 is not just a car; it's a symbol of an era when American muscle cars ruled the roads. With its powerful engine, stylish design, and iconic status, it remains a highly sought-after classic that continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike.

୨♡. Beauty astro Observations pt2 ♡୧

These posts I make are generalisations and if u want me to have a close up on ur chart and see ur best features

୨♡୧ - Sagittarius risings have great legs

୨♡୧ - Leo's have a magnetic presence and they just unconciously conquer the room, with their charm (this is true even if they don't have any Leo placements).

୨♡୧ - Virgo and Venusian placements - what I found out is that if a native has virgo in the 1st house and Venusian planets, they're ridiculously clean. As the virgo side want to oranges everything and make everything clean, and the Venusian side wants to make everything beautiful.

୨♡୧- Taurus' are pretty, because they exude such a comforting energy. Taurus energy pirotises comfort over style.

୨♡୧ Libra's are the magnetic pretty girl, they have social charm and are easy to get along with. Their beauty is more refined.

୨♡୧ - Pisces and Sagittarius just exdude such vibrance for life and are incredibly fun to be around.

୨♡୧ - Although pisces people may have either very sensitive feet, it's rare to see an aggressive one. These people are always up in their little world and as a result have glossy neptunian eyes.

୨♡୧ - Chrion conjunct planets can make someone appear sensitive and almost fragile.

୨♡୧ - Cancer risings - have ridiculously shiny hair

୨♡୧- Mars in the 1st house/Conjunct Ascendant - these people are fireryyy, and passionate. Girlboss placement.

୨♡୧ - Mercury in the 1st house - Mercury is in joy in the 1st these people are ridiculously charming and intelligent

୨♡୧ - Pisces placements - often have enchanting and sorrowful eyes.

୨♡୧ - Scorpios have an strong inner power that they unconciously exude, very sexy.

୨♡୧ - Capricorn Lilith women are killers, they are so ambitious and powerful. If you have this placement you have the power to stand for yourself before men and dominate the work place.

୨♡୧ - Sagittarius Lilith women - goofy and funny, they're quite open about sexual matters
