I love how ridiculously warm John would feel about the fact that Paul still loves him so much and sings with him at concerts and wanted to finish another song with him after all this time, and I love how John would kind of just feel it all behind his beautiful face, looking down, trying to be nonchalant about it.

The way that Paul loves John, so absolute and steady. The way that John didn't feel loveable like that, but craved it, but didn't recognise or trust it, and the way it was there and real anyway despite him. I don't know. I like that Paul is so relentless in loving him.

It's just a little frustrating that the true emotional height of the show was when they were broken up and Jack couldn't forgive Joke. When Jack was being beaten and Joke was beating himself up. Nothing else even came close to comparing to that scene and it's frustrating because it means that the happy ending still feel trapped in that place of pain.

I wanted something more. I wanted to feel their joy, to feel their pain, to see Joke's fear and Jack's forgiveness... but we just had these moments so overwhelmed with the life or death matters that the emotions felt small instead of big.

It didn't feel like Jack forgiving Joke or like Joke forgiving himself. It felt like a desperate moment in a life or death situation where no one was thinking and then that was it. There was nothing else! Jack never had to face that Joke felt so much like a curse that he was planning on leaving forever. Joke never got to see how loved he truly was and how wanted.

It feels like the emotional beats were sacrificed at the idea of spectacle and, apparently, only organized crime can control organized crime I guess?! and a high stakes game of hangman that hung entirely on not having a spellcheck.

(But also did Joke misspell that on purpose or on accident!? Was that a choice he made to show Jack he believed he knew him or did he genuinely not know how to spell the word but had faced his own struggles and accepted himself? I want to know but I never will.)

I am still caught in Joke crying because the characters beats after that moment were not given the same weight and it's frustrating because the ending is happy, yes, but it feels ephemeral because it doesn't feel like anyone learned anything.

The very end, the notebook being set aside, was good. But just a few more words could have really cemented it and made it so much more meaningful. I wish we'd gotten that. I wish we'd gotten the same weight to their joy as to their pain.

ok i just finished tua4 so here is my rant about the weird subway dimension-hopping thing. spoliers ahead.

--

first off, as far as i could tell it was just a way to push fivla (which for some reason they decided sometime in between s3 and s4 was a good idea)

--

ok so like now for my actual problem with it. they established the rules right at the beginning (same place, same time, different dimension) and then proceeded to break those rules. multiple times.

for this to be true, time would have to pass at the same rate in all dimensions. but as seven years passed for five and lila while only a couple hours passed for everyone else, that clearly isn't what was happening.

not to mention, this creates problems for the time travel thing that was going on in the previous seasons. the briefcase would have to function using a completely different set of rules as the subway, as they were jumping not only between different dimensions but also different decades.

--

anyway they clearly didn't really think it through which is sad because season 1 was so good and the show had so much potential

Let me start by saying it is categorically not OK to shoot someone because you're having a bad time - even in a pirate universe.

BUT Ed's inability to regulate his emotions is such an ADHD and/or childhood trauma thing, I relate so hard and feel represented 😅 Like, he feels things so much he doesn't know how to bear it, it feels like he's being torn apart from the inside and he tries drink, drugs, murder, intimidation, abuse - anything to divert the intensity of the feeling somewhere else. Until he almost drowns in it.

Now we just need to find him some new strategies for dealing with those emotions. I love this show for putting feelings so deeply and honestly at its heart ❤️

I want cute phone cases but I have an incredibly niche phone model so my b&w hello kitty case is literally the only one I can get :(

I fucking love women!

Today I went to [insert city] women's health congers and it was the most amazing thing I've ever come to. No man was talking on the panels, there were no male doctors, all made for women by women and all of them were so based. It felt like home it was so empowering to hear that "I'm proud to be a woman and all of you girls should be too!" It was so nice to learn that there are so many women in my city who think the same as me.

There were classes on sex ed exclusively for women, childbearing and sterility, women's health after menopause, and more. You could go and get yourself checked for free and have breast Ultrasound to see if you have breast cancer. We broke last year's record in breast self-examination and every woman got a little cute gift after that. But most importantly we were all together and we were celebrating our diverse femininity.

I made some friends too, it was great!
