The Big Short Live Commentary (recommended once)

As a person who works in a very tiny, small town bank and as a person with a forensic accounting degree, when I watched the trailer, I was completely fascinated with this. Pretty sure I learned about this in my forensic accounting classes, so I'm glad I'm finally gonna watch a movie about it!

Also, RG with brown curls? ohmygosh...

rough childhood headcanon qs / @clxscdeyes / no longer accepting !

╰┈➤ 7 . how old was your muse when they realized they had childhood trauma?

||. one whole "today years old" post!ragnarok and hela's reveal. Except, even then, according to the movie, not really because Thor is still in heavy denial about all of it where Odin is concerned. I've spoken a bit (here) about how Thor adores his family; he idolizes them and views them through blinding rose-colored glasses, (especially when they're deceased) and that is especially true of his circumstances.

So, very often times when the truth clashes with the rose-colored view of them (namely: his father), Thor does one of two things: find a way to justify the words or action with the surrounding context of the time to make it make sense (e.g., well he scolded me harshly because i was talking back), or avoid it altogether. (this is his go-to. no talking about it; thor would rather not right now, so he does not.)

Key example being: he would rather focus on how his father changed his ways, and the Odin that he knew and grew up with was a man who had turned away from pursuing war for war's sake, and was instead one who valued peace and life. He would rather focus on that aspect of Odin, and take in the broader picture of Odin's life. REGARDLESS of the fact that what Thor is deeply, personally affected - not with the realization that Odin changed his ways once upon a time - but by the fact that he lied to him, manipulated him, and controlled and shaped every aspect of his being, for Thor's whole life, JUST to avoid another Hela. Someone who Thor is not, could not be farther from, and never knew about, because Odin (apparently) kept the matter of his true first-born a closely-guarded secret and seemingly would have continued to were it not for Odin's death, Hela's escape, and Ragnarok all coinciding at the same moment in time. And this, all because Thor rationalizes it as "well, I wouldn't want to be remembered and judged based on the person that I used to be. I should extend that same kindness to my father, because he too, changed." (x10 because now Odin is dead. And it's in poor-taste to speak ill of a dead man.)

The problem namely being: Thor only talks about things when Thor decides it's time to talk about things ; when he is ready. ...but as this is a topic that ripple effects down to Thor's core, good luck getting him to open up about it, even just with himself.

U have the only take on Ferrari & Charles I respect (the people who think he'll ever leave the team simply Do Not get the inescapable draw that Ferrari has on Italian and Italian-adjacent people) that man will be like Niki, getting buried in his Ferrari race suit

aw thank you! this is very flattering and I appreciate it.

Honestly, I think Charles is definitely a fair bit infatuated with the Myth of it all (Niki core, yeah) but I also think that he's very aware of how much publicly embracing the Ferrari ''faith'' has endeared him to the fanbase, which in turn has benefited his personal brand and career quite a bit (in a way Carlos never managed). Like, he IS genuine. But when I say he's exactly where he wants to be, I'm not just talking about team loyalty. I really think he's set himself up really well career-wise, and imo played his cards as best as he could in a sport where so much of your success depends on being at the right time in the right place regardless of skills, and drivers have limited ways to control where they end up.
