"Estelle had strong opinions, and was the expert on everything. When we were rehearsing the big fight scene in Torch Song Trilogy, Estelle objected to the speech her character gives to mine about what it’s like to be widowed. She told us, 'I don’t want to say that, because that’s not the way it is. My sister lost her husband, and that’s not the way she felt.' And I said, 'Estelle, just shut up and do it.' The director broke up the fight between us, and gave Estelle specific instructions on what to do: 'Stand here, turn, count to three, walk three steps forward, put down the bag, say the line, pick up the bag, turn, walk out the door.'

She agreed to do it, but warned us: 'I’m telling you it’s terrible, and nobody’s going to like it.' At the first preview, just to prove it wouldn’t work, Estelle did just as the director had instructed. As she exited, she said to the stage manager in the wings, 'Did you see how badly that went? The whole audience was shuffling, and coughing. They were all bored by that speech, that’s how bad it was!' Well the truth was the audience had collapsed in tears, and that noise was people getting out their handkerchiefs. Later, one of Estelle’s friends came backstage and raved about how moved she was. 'Oh, I know,' said Estelle. 'I told Harvey that speech was a winner.' That was Estelle."

I’ve been seeing this everywhere so here’s a bxd version 😭

Every time I rewatch S1E2 Guess Who's Coming To The Wedding?, Dorothy's behaviour hits me harder. Not just how she acts around Stan (that final speech, oh my god Bea Arthur you magnificent actress), but how she acts around Kate and the whole premise. She's so excited about the wedding!! She's always wanted to give Kate a great wedding!! She says "Your wedding day should be the most beautiful day of your life" and you know she's been dreaming about her baby's wedding day ever since her own. You know she's desperately trying not to think of how anxious she felt, how trapped, how terrified, how chocked she was when she herself walked down the aisle. She says "And I just hope that you and Kate have all the happiness in the world!" and you can just see the memories of those 38 years of her life shoot through her mind, you can see her hold on to all the happy moments she can and pray that Kate's marriage is nothing but good years and happy Christmases. And the way her voice chokes up when she says goodbye to Kate?? "Now, listen, you be a good wife, you hear? Be his friend, be his lover. Don't be his slave!" Do you think these are the things she told herself during her marriage? Do you think these are the things people told her and she desperately tried to be all that -- to be the perfect friend, to be the perfect lover, so her marriage would work? Do you think that don't be his slave! was a desperate plea -- don't accept it all, don't stay no matter what he does, don't be like me? Listen this is just a rant and I am going nowhere with this but the truth is Dorothy is the strongest woman who ever lived on television and I love her so much and I want to bundle her up in a nice blanket and go beat up Stanley Zbornak with a baseball bat!!!! God!!!!!!

I just watched that s7 episode where Rose, Dorothy and Sophia will have to move out if Blanche doesn't make them co-owners of the house and oh.... oh my god. I knew Blanche's grand gesture would hit hard, but Dorothy's talk to Rose before then?? Giving her an excuse for why she has to say, only to shrug that off and softly tell her the truth ("we love you") and proceeding to tell the permit guy that they're family!! They love each other so much & they can't be separated!! Rose's face throughout the whole thing!! It's so much

LETS GROW INTO FUN ADULTS

Had many friends under resent years be sad their youth have passed as entering adulthood. ‘I’M SO OLD!! THIS IS THE END etc (in a serious manner and not drunk.) I never wanted to become an adult myself, assumed they never had fun. But now, entered 30 some years ago I am pleased I reached the goal. Adults have fun!!!

Sure you have to take care of your health more and non make your path, life is what you make it. Which can be scary but that be life! 

You care less what people think of you. And I mean that, truly, you have no energy to care what other people think! It’s the same whatever your an athlete or hate to walk! xD

‘But I’m uuugly.’ No. That is media telling you shit. Adults, older woman, witches, cat ladies, grandmas, crows. Usually dont/cant follow medias norms, and look however they grow into. Which is wonderful!

LET ME SEE MORE ADULTS RELISH IN THEIR GROWN YEARS!!!!!!!!! <3

I CRAVE FOR IT

[imaginarianisms]

1 day i will make a meta of sansa's dynamic with her metaphorical champions/suitors & how that correlates to the ashford theory (i.e sansa being betrothed to joffrey baratheon, then promised to willas tyrell, then being married to tyrion lannister, then being married to harry hardying then married to aegon vi targaryen & aurane velaryon but it is not this day. lmao. when i make that meta it'll be so over for y'all.

[eeblouissant]
