"Why did you think I forced you into the Riders Quadrant?"

"Because you think less of the scribes."

"Bullshit. The love of my life was a scribe."

--- Iron Flame, page 327

This whole scene. 😭😭

Not Violet and Lilith Sorrengail having a Rose and Janine Hathaway moment.

I am going to continue to complain about the lack of Janine and Abe content indefinitely perhaps. I encourage people to send me their headcanons about them no matter how ridiculous. My asks are always open.

[vasilissadragomir]

i appreciated the short story about how the dragomirs met bc it’s cute and v on brand but is it too much to ask for an abe and janine story?? maybe on the beach like abe mentioned at rose’s party…i just love them so much😭😭

ugh i guess i’ll have to write it myself

[easily-distracted-ivashkov]

Abe: *exists*

Everybody in the VA series: oh no

[going-down-with-the-ship]

Happy International Women's Day to the women of VA!

[mylifeisjustafeverdream]

Okay so I "read" the books on Audible and that's fucked up how I see some of the characters. Like for instance, I know Abe is supposed to be this mid 40 suave gentleman, but this is the only thing I can picture based off his voice:

Jess Watches // Sat 8 June // Day 255 & Sun 9 June // Day 256 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

The Idea of You [2024] (with L)

Solène, a 40-year-old single mom, begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.

A surprisingly enjoyable afternoon watch. It knew what is was and did it well. Anne Hathaway is a babe and she ground the cheesier parts to minimize any potential second-hand embarrassment, which is never usually far away in romcoms. Their chemistry was above par too, some of the kisses were very steamy. A fun easy film.

Mr & Mrs Smith (with L) 1x01 First Date

Strangers John and Jane Smith are paired by a secretive espionage agency, posing as a married couple. During their first mission together, things go awry.

My first thought about this ep: the tiddies. My second thought was that I appreciated they didn't throw every conceivable plot thread into the pilot episode. It had room to breathe and get to know the characters a little.

Wilderness (with mum) Ep 1 Happily Ever After

An envious apartment in glamorous New York, an intensely passionate marriage, and the promise of the perfect life together, British newlyweds are living the American dream.

Welsh Jenna Coleman wouldn't have this problem if she had married me instead because I would never.

Abbott Elementary (with mum) 3x03 Gregory's Garden Goofballs

Gregory is hesitant when kids start hanging out in his classroom at lunch, looking to him for advice; Barbara is shocked to find Tariq is dating the mother of one of her students; Janine and Jacob try to hire an ASL interpreter.

An episode further highlighting why sign language should be taught in school. I thought with Tariq's sudden appearance that he might have known asl and got the interpreter job. But he'll be ok with his new common-law son TJ Nick, and his stepmum teacher Barbara.

Day 34- Film: Diplomatic Courier 

Release date: June 13th, 1952. 

Studio: 20th Century Fox 

Genre: Spy Noir 

Director: Henry Hathaway 

Producer: Casey Robinson 

Actors: Tyrone Power, Patricia Neal, Stephen McNally, Hildegarde Neff, Karl Malden 

Plot Summary: Mike Kells is an experienced diplomatic courier for the US State department who must suddenly meet colleague Sam Carew in Salzburg to receive top-secret-documents and bring them safely home. Both men are clearly being followed, however, and things quickly go awry. When Sam ends up dead, and the documents are still missing, the danger and intrigue only increase. Who can be trusted and who cannot? 

My Rating (out of five stars): ***½ 

For the most part, I found this to be a very enjoyable and engrossing film. It wasn’t the most mind-blowing thing I’ve ever seen, but I do think that in key aspects it was very cleverly made. This was, in some ways, a more conventional spy film than 5 Fingers.  We have a clear hero with a clear mission, and two beautiful women keep weaving in and out of his story. The film was most affecting when it left you in suspense and suspicion over which characters you could believe or not. There were times I was so anxiously frustrated, I could not sit still. I think I even shouted at the screen at one point. Usually there are giveaways somewhere and you kind of know, but I had genuine anxiety about this one! 

The Good: 

Tyrone Power. I loved him in his films of the 1930s. He’s not the most accomplished actor, but he is one of those uniquely stunningly beautiful people that you can just gaze at for hours. I was actually really impressed with him here- by 1952 his acting had improved significantly. He’s a little older, so his youthful beauty is fading, but he’s still the owner of the most luscious pair of eyelashes a man ever had. He’s also just extremely likeable, and with the addition of his improved acting, it made it very easy to care about what was going to happen to him.  

Patricia Neal. I adore her. She is so good at playing sophisticated song-willed women with a quick and incisive mind. Her voice is so wonderfully distinctive, too. Whenever I see her name come up in the credits, I sit up, and she didn’t disappoint here. 

Hildegard Knef as Janine Betki. She was the character that literally kept me guessing until the end. She had this cool European look and vibe about her. She was also quite a good actress. 

The suspense and questioning over who was trustworthy or not. Trying to put the pieces together was a very enjoyable part of the film. 

The suspense on the train early in the film was also well done. Who was following whom? And why? There’s also something about the closed and cramped confines of a moving passenger train that elevates the drama even more. 

It often had the feel of a 1950s European film, which was a good thing in my book. Some of that might just have been because it took place in cosmopolitan Italy, and I think there may have been some location shooting. 

Out of seemingly nowhere there was a drag performance scene! In a film in 1952! Mike goes into a nightclub early on, and the entertainment is a real drag artist. He impersonated Carmen Miranda, Betty Davis, and even FDR! His skills of mimicry ended up being important later, but it was shocking to see so much screen time given to him. There was no overt hint of him being gay, but come on, it was classic drag!  

The Bad: 

Sometimes things were maybe a little too vague about what the top-secret documents were. We got one line specifically about some of what it was, and the film continually told us that it was information that could save thousands of lives... but I was left wanting a little more. I don’t like it when movies spoon-feed information, so I wouldn’t want it to go too far... but I guess I just wanted a little less subterfuge. 

I wanted to know a little more about Patricia Neal’s character as well. She suddenly disappeared before we really knew her story. 

I’m not sure how I felt about the last shot/scene of the film. I liked a little bit of it but groaned at most of it.

@terrifyingstories sent 📖 (book: girls of storm and shadow by natasha ngan) / bellamy & rose

it doesn't take any time for him to put the pieces together. he learned long ago that rose's back got straighter, her mouth tighter, and her tone sharper when janine hathaway was at court. even if the visit had little to do with rose and everything to do with her own job. the tension permeates everything rose does, and it comes as a surprise whenever she "acts out of turn," as janine would put it.

janine is talented, and that he will never deny. but rose has more on her than she even knows. not just because of the heart beating in her chest but because rose has raw talent that was honed in horrific situations that make her the best guardian he's ever seen. she's also the best person he knows.

it's obvious to him that janine said something to upset her before she ever confirms it, and lately she hasn't needed to confirm anything because he just knows. she's his partner, and he can read her like the worn copy of the iliad sitting on his bedside table. he might even know her better than that.

"i don't know what janine's problem is." he begins, noting the change in rose, one that can only come from her believing she disappointed janine. "but she's got it wrong. there's nothing to be disappointed about when it comes to you." lacing their hands together, he gives it a squeeze. he doesn't think it will carry any weight compared to the standard janine sets for her daughter, but he hopes he can take some of the weight onto himself regardless.

Dimitri pointing out that Rose growing up as almost a part of the Dragomir family and how that has shaped her in ways he never had. How that relative privilege, the fact that she was in some ways an insider to those circles and granted all sorts of leeway for it; has allowed her to imagine a life beyond the cages dhampir are born to by blood was---

SO REAL.

I adore Rose and I agree with her stance often but this aspect of her upbringing makes her both revolutionary and blinkered to the experience of others of her kind. We saw shades of this in her interactions with other novices; and in her conversation with Janine. She has no idea the brutal choices Janine had to make to not become a walking womb or a bloodbag for wealthy violent moroi in the communes. And she judges her harshly and perhaps uncharitably for those choices, even if deep hurt and abandonment is at the centre of it.

At the same time the show complicates Rose because even if she was part of Lissa's family she was still raised and molded to be a guardian, to know she comes second to Lissa, always. That space of being an outsider-insider is also fraught with pain, self-negation etc. And it added to Rose's own issues tenfold.

Dimitri maybe doesn't yet grasp that little Rose might have been isolated and lonely even surrounded by all that wealth, that she was an other, that she knew from early on that she would have to earn her place and prove her worth for the chance to serve her best friend, maybe even die for her. Just as Dimitri found solace in faith and the strictures of their society, Rose developed her tough exterior and prickly, rebellious attitude.

Just loving how layered this show is, and how deeply but compellingly flawed these characters are.
