#my comfort films tbqh

[jtownraindancer]

the most realistic part of The Decoy Bride is james forgetting everything he wrote for his own book. i too have forgotten everything i have ever written.

[phantomoftheorpheum]

any thoughts on the results of the poll? 🤍

a few! as usual, I'm going to place most of my thoughts under a cut, so as to not junk up people's dash.

so the final results were-

Faran - 10 votes (as you can see, one is me)

Mouse - 6 votes

Tabby - 5 votes

Imogen - 3 votes

Noa - 1 vote

Obviously, with only 25 votes, that's a super small sample size of the fandom. Ngl, I was surprised by the late surge Mouse had, after not getting any votes for hours, but that's cool to see (particularly since she hasn't had much of a storyline this season). There's obviously nothing scientific about this, since people who follow me are probably more likely to have similar tastes and interpretations, and while the poll was tagged and hopefully got some outside votes, I'm sure a different blog would get different results.

That being said, I think the fact that Faran led the entire 24 hours quite comfortably speaks to how many different elements of her character resonate with the audience. Some people told me that they relate to Faran's no-nonsense attitude, her perfectionism, her chronic pain or surgical trauma, her relationship with her parents, her dance background, etc. etc. I just think Faran has been a well written, well performed, and well rounded character.

Mouse came in second. I didn't get as many responses (public or private) about her, but someone did mention her tendency to hyper-fixate, which I also relate to, so I can definitely see where they're coming from. Personally, I'd like to see Mouse get a little more to do if we get a third season, but even her lack of screen time didn't stop y'all from saying you connect with her, so that makes me feel like she has a lot of potential.

Tabby was third, and she and Mouse traded 2nd and 3rd several times during the polling time, so they came very close to tying. No one told me why they voted for Tabby, so I don't have any external explanations. For me, the thing I most relate to with Tabby is her creativity and passion for film.

Imogen landed in fourth. At first, I was a little surprised, since she's at the center of the show so often. But I think Imogen's experiences are just a little less common. For example, becoming a teen mom (particularly in the traumatic way that she did) is something I suspect not too many of my followers relate to. So I think Imogen may genuinely be a little less "relatable" than most of the other characters, though I think she's well realized.

Noa came fifth. This wasn't a surprise, tbqh. I think if I'd done this poll in season 1, she might have been near the top. It seems to me that a lot of people feel at least a little confused with or disconnected from Noa's actions this season. I don't think this is mostly the character's fault. While her storyline would probably always be the type to divide audiences, personally, I feel that I do understand why she might be behaving the way she is (I wrote a thing about why I think I understand her draw to Jen over Shawn a while back, even if I'm not a big fan of this kind of romantic drama), but I am confused and frustrated by the way the show is choosing to handle it. I just feel that a lot of the production choices (writing, dialogue, cinematography, editing) are inconsistent in what they seem to be trying to express to the audience, and that does confuse me. I think that makes an inherently divisive storyline even more so.

I only got specific feedback about Faran and Mouse, so I can't tell you specifically why people voted for the other 3, but those are my feelings and some speculation!

[holyscrap]

both @soft-husbands and @veryveryverytemporarily tagged me to list my 9 favorite movies. ty ladies 😘

tagging @momecat @softlass27 and @foreverrhapsody if you want to/haven't done it yet

[misterbitches]

wait honsetly i do not give a shit if u like couples that i think are dumb or poorly written so if u get offended by this it’s ur fault

but im confused

am i stupid for not understanding the relationship between that high schooler and the old man? like....what am i missing here? it’s not healthy, or right, and it doesn’t really matter. it doesn’t mean no one can like it but i’m like confused at pretending that it’s like positive and healthy or whatever like at best it’s embarrassing and fucking stupid at worst it’s uhhhhh gross and probably illegal (not that it matterse bc crime is BS and this person wouldnt be persecuted anyway so)

like i know these writers don’t care, can’t write, think writing “shocking” things that everyone else has already done is like a big deal but they are doing the exact thing like with every ~pRobLEmAtIc~ storyline—which btw we need to start calling it what it is: misogynist, patriarchal, capital inducing, transphobic, toxic, fucking strange and also just a stupid way to get people to absorb information. like being specific about the actual problems not just atlking around it and alos breaking it down—it’s coercing people into liking it because it’s not about the content in their differences. they barely take that into account. i’m kind of surprised at the idea of longterm positivity in a relationship that cannot withstand that. and people do grow up and realize. 

i get their existence, i get why people would like it, but i don’t think you can sort of project positive things onto a relationship that is simply not positive and is not intended to be by the writers nature. even if it is accepted because harm is the norm, it upholds whatever power structures, so it’s like well fighting against that is the real story. like they exist but it’s not some statement about the lgbtq+ community particularly because that sort of relationship is common (in all communities) and uh not very good like i said and it NEEDS to be saved because that’s what these structures rely on it relies on being beholden to someone that you have no chance in matching at any point. it’s honestly a literal drag!

they dont hvae to break up or whatever but i kind of don’t get removing that reality from them. i mean i do because again this is what the writers do which is why it isnt effective, transgressive, or particularly fun (to me) and it’s so fucking common. it’s just like this IS the norm so it kind of needs to be pushed against.  i know they donnt give a shit but some of the comments im like.... am i imissing something did he like time travel to be an acceptable age or are we gonna accept he was lurking around a fuckin (immature as fuck) teenager. 

there’s def things that i like that i am also like “wow this is so gross” lmao there’s this brazilian movie about two brothers in a rship and they have an age gap and terrible parents and me and my best friend watched it when we were younger so we have like this place for it in our memory but we knew, and ofc back then, the immensely fucked up thing we were seeing. i can only stomach itif im extremely bored and it’s few and far between because IT IS S OFUCKING WEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD but they have good chemistry but it’s not like i dont see it. the film exists in a fake world too but idk enough about the background of the film and the filmmaker to know what their point was but i do know that it was a huge deal ther ebc gay and also the taboo nature and it was like. u know. bonkers lmao. also they were just two white brazilian dudes with money, probably some missing class commentary. in its nature everything about it is not something that i like (not reality of brazil idc abt white brazilians) and ummmm being fucking related. but look you know it was fucking fukced up and weird and the dudes did have chemistry. like seriously that movie so gross lmao so like we all have the capacity but im not gonna pretend it fucking makes sense like EW AND i wanted them to end up togehter but i still yell “EWWW NOOOOO NO NO but theyre so hot they have good chemistry OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO THIS IS OS BAD OH NO WHY IS THEIR DAD OKAY WITH IT OH NO WHAT AM I WATCHING?” and theyre so close it is SINCERELY creepy and the movie is like HERE U GO GUYS and u absolutely do not feel comfortable. it’s actually uncanny because everyone is comfortable with it in their lives that it makes it even more weird. it’s like picking at you consistently, you can’t ever forget. i don’t like that these shows make you forget. they allow you to remove this fucked up background and history and/or traumatic shit from your memory SIMPLY for enjoyment. and that’s not how life works, nor art. it isnt just there. and they say this has meaning. 

idk anyways that’s just how i feel cos i only thought whatshisface was like idk 5 yrs older than him and that wouldnt be better to me but i was rly like this nigga is 12 yrs older than him? bitch that’s literally r. kelly like im not joking LMAO im just like how r u pushing thirty dating a teenager my nigga i cannotttttt lmaoooo like ARE U NOT EMBARRASSED HOMIE? also like on a sociopolitical level this message actually fucking sucks like their marriage is shitty tbqh  lmao it took forever for taiwan to get to where it is and there’s still massive issues with their marriage laws (and what is afforded to people with marriage; just like eveyrwhere. marriage is important because of so many laws and rights and that is why it is necessary not just in the ceremony) so it’s like flabbergasting frankly people hav elike actually isssues or like papa+daddy about taiwan and these bozos are getting married like it’s boring at this point my god

idk

go back to film school lmao

imagine if this world gave a shit about  minorities and poor people even it’s literally just ......fuck man lmao i just cant let things rest. i didnt get this stupid degree and also just live 29 yrs on this earth to be able to like.....watch garbage without a critique so the garbage can continue meanwhile artists who give a shit have a harder time making things like listen kid. WRITE YOUR SCRIPTS. THESE FUCKERS CAN, YOU DO IT. look at this garbage! u can!!!! this is the advice i do not take myself

[adamsvanrhijn]

Can I ask about the assumption that Thomas only ever goes after upper class men? I don’t feel like we have anything like a large enough sample size to make that kind of conclusion and I was wondering if there were, like, dialogue things you think imply that that I missed?

I wasn't trying to make a broad generalisation, it was just conjecture on his s1 & s2 characterisation + a way to justify what he says in the film! I also didn't say he only goes after upper class men & I don't necessarily believe that, just that his relationships in s1 do not in my opinion lend well to an interpretation that sees him as experiencing solidarity with like... basically anybody tbqh, and that a big facet of his character is social climbing & discontent with his station. Intimate relationships with people who have power = power. This isn't to say he doesn't get emotional fulfillment out of them, he's obviously in love or something like it w the Duke for example, but I suspect part of him is pretty into that control element whether it is conscious or not, given how he engages w his surroundings? Someone higher on the ladder also offers stability, connections, etc as well as a sense of accomplishment... and he has plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal w men of station; he doesn't have to go looking for it.

That said I base the headcanon (that he primarily seeks out relationships w people of a higher station than himself) on the sample size of 3 + his ideas about class, how he expresses himself in regards to it verbally, his actions, how the other characters react to him etc. Thomas is Dripping w classism, very vocal about the servants' hierarchy and where he wants to be in it, how he sees Matthew & Isobel — he's Too Good to wait on somebody middle class, for example. how he views and talks about Tom both in s1 & s2 as well as later on is sort of the vestiges of that too. I think a lot of this (again, viewing him as a person/within the text rather than as a fictional character) is mental gymnastics to justify his place to himself tbh??? He's clearly unhappy w his place in his life and wants more than he has; there are tons of examples of higher/lower class gay relationships and he'd know about the high profile ones so there's a precedent set; he clearly has expectations wrt his relationship w Philip and where that will get him—how much of it is to do w/ fairytale esque fantasy of forever being w a guy he's in love w and how much of it is about moving up in the world is up to interpretation. I also think a lot of it would have to do w that sense of security.

Also insofar as I can tell this is definitely something that has become fanon or something like it, even a lot of the 2011-2013 fics characterise him this way!! It's interesting to me :-3 I've definitely included it in my own fic before so there's that haha. W my own interpretation I just can't see him necessarily letting himself bother with somebody who isn't also a foothold; I think there is some kind of fear under the surface there as there is in lots of what he does. (Somebody who shares his life circumstances is too close for comfort.) Which you know. Keeps biting him in the ass.

[litttlebeast]

so it’s two weeks to go til the movie and i know i keep getting emo and sappy on main but i gotta, okay?

the original film made me a fan of a/ngelina j/olie, who is such a talent and has the most beautiful soul, and of e/lle f/anning, who literally radiates joy and happiness and just goodness in the world tbqh.

it helped me accept multiple things in myself too, or at least helped me along that path.

i cannot ever have biological children, which is why aurora and maleficent’s relationship is as important and special to me as it is, because it further showed  me how strong and beautiful the relationship between an adopted child and their mother can be and that biology isn’t important. (regina and henry in ouat paved my path on that front as well, and angelina’s irl adopted kids showed me that too.)

i also accepted myself as nb and gender-nonconforming because, when i kept up with angelina and her family, i would always notice her gender nonconforming child, shiloh, in photos, and i realized that’s what i wanted for myself and that that was okay. someone as famous as angelina supporting her gnc child so openly made me realize that.

that stuff might not have happened, or might not have happened as soon as they did, if it weren’t for maleficent.

when i saw the first movie, i was just-turned-18 years old and had no idea who i was or what i wanted in life. since then, i’ve accepted myself as a nb, as a lesbian, and am more happy and comfortable in myself than i have ever been. i know more about what i want from life and who i want to be, and my self-confidence is starting to grow. through this movie too, i found aurora who is now a massive part of me, and i found you guys too who allow me to bring her to life for you.

this movie is so special to me, you guys, and so is this muse, and the sequel is so so close. two weeks more, you guys. two weeks. i cannot wait to share this experience with you all and, once i’ve seen it on the 18th, as soon as you guys have? you better come flail @ me about it okay bc i will need people to scream with cerewrweb.

[butchedyke]

(for the char thing) stanley uris, mike hanlon, and patty blum

migz!!!! i’m sorry i abandoned this in favour of video games and capitalism i hope i can make it up to u uwu

this is mostly going off the movies but there’s occasional book and miniseries input- i’ve only read the first few chapters, a few wikia pages, and some character meta from the book and i’ve only seen the miniseries once vs the however many times ive watched the movies in the last 2 months so don’t expect consistency between canons

 (also i’m gonna put these under a cut because this post got really long)

stanley uris

How I feel about this character:

there is a reason i use the tag baby boy for stan (and also for miniseries eddie)!!!! he’s my favourite loser other than eddie and i want to like. hold him and make sure he’s happy and healthy and i think stephen king should treat his characters better.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

patty!!!!! their relationship in the book makes me so happy and anyone who’s ever spoken to me about stanpat knows that i am at all times thinking about how she calls his car sedanley.

that being said, i respect stenbrough, stanlon, and streddie but overall this is a stanpat household

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

stan with all the losers but especially richie! which isn’t very original since they are literally best friends but their dynamic!!! good!!!! i’ve not been able to stop thinking about that one scene from the miniseries where richie introduces stan as “this is stan the man uris, he’s a jew,” partially because it’s fucking funny because who says that richie what the fuck, but also because stan just instantly follows up by saying that richie has a high metabolism which makes him hyperactive, and maybe it’s because the miniseries is campy and a little bit shit but the delivery of those lines makes it seem like they do this a lot! they have these introductions ready to go! and i love the idea of them as a platonic package deal even if we don’t get to see much of that in the movies

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i don’t think i really have any? i tend to follow people who hold the same opinions as me tho so i have no idea what’s popular outside of that dshfk

i mean i do think fics that save eddie but not stan aren’t really fix-its and going off the amount of fics where stan’s still dead i guess that’s somehow an unpopular opinion? i know everyone’s focused on reddie rn but god like. stan is right there can we stop ignoring him pls

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

i mean the most blatantly obvious answer here is that i wish he didn’t die! he should’ve gotten to go on his holiday and rail/get railed by his wife and live to meet his friends as adults, catch up on the 27 years they didn’t get to be with each other. he should’ve gotten to have kids, once everything was over, and they should’ve been able to grow up with 5 extra uncles and an aunt bc u can’t tell me the rest of the losers wouldn’t be deeply embedded in their lives. i just wish stan had a chance to be completely, 100% happy without the underlying terror of his childhood.

on a smaller note i also wish we’d gotten to see more of his interest in birds in the movies bc like. he’s babie. and who knows! maybe would’ve helped stop the perception that his entire personality is just being a bitch that hates richie jshfd

mike hanlon

How I feel about this character:

part of the reason i wanted to read the book was for more mike content because i adore this lil farm boy and the movies. well. y’know. :). characters who just openly and whole-heartedly love their friends and go straight ride or die like 10 minutes after meeting them have my whole heart! he’s so smart and so kind and just wanted to protect his friends as best he could even though he dragged them into this whole mess bc he doesn’t want to lose them again!!!! mike deserves the whole world and if his way of getting that is by getting out of derry and getting to know that his friends remember and love him and each other then that’s all i want for him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

i wasn’t overly set on any particular mike ship until i watched the miniseries and saw the homoerotic bike montage and now i’m fully on the hanbrough train. choo choo.

just like with stan i support stanlon but endgame hanbrough is just. it’s right there in the text. bill didn’t divorce audra for nothing in ch2.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

this also kinda ties in with the last point, but jane @billdenbrough opened my eyes, in the middle of a very in-depth conversation about audra’s minion strap, to the world of best friends mike and audra who are both with bill which is both galaxy brained and an incredibly good concept which i think about a lot

also i think mike and ben could’ve had something Incredibly soft if mike wasn’t treated like a background character in the first film and a quest-giving npc in the second one :) :)

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i headcanon mike as gay, i have no textual evidence for this, i just think he’s neat. i think it’s a pretty popular opinion that the movies treated him poorly? and i also think that in ch2 he was just trying to protect his friends in a scenario that did not lend itself at all to protection. drugging bill and not telling the others about the full ritual might not have been the best thing to do, but he was in a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation, and he was trying his best to save his friends no matter how impossible it may have been.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

i uh :) i don’t know if anyone’s figured out yet :) that i wish many things had happened with mike in canon :) :) the first film doesn’t give him much but the second film just infuriates me completely tbqh! he’s basically entirely there to push the narrative (his dialogue doesn’t even sound like dialogue! it sounds like prose explaining the plot and the next steps the characters have to take!), or to drug and lie to his friends. i wish they’d kept his backstory the same, that we’d actually gotten to see him find his token, that he’d gotten a token relevant to him as an individual rather than the group, that we’d gotten a flashback for him, that he was given more screentime and development across both films, like... i wish he’d been treated like the other losers and not a plot point.

i also wish we’d gotten to see him on his travels post-canon, seeing the other losers, and just generally actually getting to be happy- we see the start of it but god i just want to see him having a good time outside of derry.

patty blum

How I feel about this character:

if she were not stan’s wife she would be my wife. we don’t get to see much of her in the movie or miniseries and that is a fucking crime!!!! i’ve already mentioned sedanley but like. sedanley. i’ve read patty’s bit in the book and that’s all i need the other 1100 pages can get fucked, she’s just here to watch family feud and love stan which i can confidently say is a huge fucking mood

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

STAN. i guess i already talked about this before but i’ll keep going!!! my love for stanpat overwhelms my usual distaste towards straight relationships bc they’re so good!!!!! the fact that they’re really the only happy relationship to come out of the 27 year gap and they love each other so much and so like... wholesomely? but they still blow each other’s backs out on the reg and it’s what they deserve.

also i sometimes think about patty/audra as like. kind of a crack ship kind of a “i’m a lesbian and i’m desperate to see lesbians” ship. i haven’t thought about it in depth i just want to plant the seed

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

stan introducing patty to the losers and patty becoming an honorary loser is my weakness!!!! patty being comfortable enough to rib richie (and richieandeddie) with stan, but also vice versa going along with richie’s bits. patty and bev getting close because as much as st*phen k*ng and co push bev as One Of The Boys(tm) there’s just something in having another woman around that can be refreshing especially when they’re both bicons. patty and mike enthusiastically sharing holiday pictures and tales of their trips. patty noticing when eddie’s having a bad day, whether it’s anxiety or lingering trauma, and supporting him through it, regaling him with stories about stan and what essentially amount to dad jokes (sedanley!!!) and making sure he knows he’s loved and supported by all the losers. patty, the teacher, and ben, lunchtimes-in-the-library ben who never outgrew his love of reading, nerding out over shit that the others don’t really know about. bill telling patty all about what stan was like as a kid in that way only bill can, richie chiming in with crude comments sometimes but noticeably keeping quieter than usual, and patty returning the favour, telling them about the last 27 years, and not even richie makes a single joke when everyone tears up (because he’s tearing up the most). stan sitting there the whole time not even bothering to point out that he’s right there because it’s enough for him to see the romantic love of his life and the platonic loves of his life bonding, and yeah, maybe it was worth sticking around for.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i don’t know if this is unpopular but patty pegs. that’s all.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

more patty. let me see my wife.

[ingenves]

     hello angels ! the name’s moose ( she/her ) & i love bugs and poutine. it’s late af so im off to bed right away but ! i would love to plot with each and every single one of you so definitely feel free to HMU ( on here or u can ask for my discord if u prefer ) or LIKE THIS and i’ll come to u ! i don’t have a wc page or anything sorted out yet but we rollin. you can peep saskia’s pinterest board HERE for the aesthetic™ 

     ⌈ sophie turner, cisfemale, she/her ⌋ hey, is it SASKIA GRAHAM that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY-ONE year old ACTRESS. typically i see them hanging around NEPTUNE’S DINER so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in KINGSTON for ONE YEAR. gristol wouldn’t be the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of fresh manicures, sweet nothings whispered in french & broken champagne bottles on a tile floor. 

ok so! lil miss saskia is the only child of infamous director lloyd graham and his second wife anna, a talent agent. they split up when she was a baby and although she was born in london, she primarily grew up in paris where she lived w her father and her step mom anaïs who was just an up-and-coming designer at the time of their marriage

as u can imagine, she grew up living this extravagant and opulent lifestyle that she’s since become addicted to

it was hard to be a normal kid w the parents she had, but.....all of her friends were also a part of the same world she was. as far as her childhood goes, ofc she was super duper privileged so it wasnt HARD but it also wasnt always easy??

she started acting when she was v young. she started her career in theatre as a child actor and then occasionally making small appearances in various movies that her father was working on, but her career rly took off when she hit her teen years.

she’s got a reputation for being a scream queen, most of her filmography consisting of indie french horror and thriller movies. she’s fairly well-known in france and in europe for her work but not so much in the americas unless ur into french / foreign film ig?

her father has always had most of the control over her career. although he had no part in getting her roles, he did police what she could and couldn’t audition for and he did his best to make sure that she stayed scandal-free and out of the tabloids to avoid taking a dump on the family name u know?

which is........kind of funny bc her dad is WELL KNOWN for being horrible to work with, short-tempered, demanding, all that good stuff. he’s also just.....rude. and elitist and he thinks he’s better than everyone else even tho his movies arent even THAT good. satan himself, probably

so ofc saskia didn’t want to work w him either and it was exhausting having to be his DAUGHTER when he’s so controlling

they had this MASSIVE fight eventually, where saskia basically called him out for trying to control every aspect of her life instead of just letting her LIVE and take her career and her life in the direction she wanted to. he claimed that every single one of her accomplishments was because of HIM and because of their name and without all their money she would be nothing and that made her FURIOUS bc as much as yes, her family did help her get her foot in the door and get auditions, all of the work she’s done and every role she’s gotten was because she earned it, not because of anyone else

in an act of spite and to give her dad two big ole MIDDLE FINGERS she moved to the place her father hates the most, new york city. that’s what she told him, at least, but she settled in gristol instead, just a short drive away from the big apple

she never rly pictured herself living there since.....paris is her entire life and she’s never rly had an interest in expanding her horizons to american film but.........now that she’s tryna piss off her dad she just might :/

ditched her big fancy house for a cute lil apartment that she adores

tbqh she’s just been taking a hiatus from her career since moving, straight chillin most of the time , kind of laying low and getting her ducks in a row, letting her father stew while not knowing wtf she’s been doing for a year

but she’s bored bored BORED and she doesn’t want to go back home so she’s just getting her career going again, going to auditions and doing the whole dealio u know how it be

that abt sums it up??? let me talk abt her cancer ass now

she’s SUPER good at keeping a facade and then going home to cry herself to sleep afterwards

lowkey insecure af

riddled w trust issues

as u can tell, she is a spiteful little shit

she doesn’t like to talk abt her feelings but then.....gets offended when ppl dont realize when she’s upset or angry??? *lisa from the room vc* i don’t want to talk about it

she takes criticism very personally and will most definitely get angry at u if u criticize her in any way

wtf is a stable emotion???? she has no idea

her life is a constant cycle of overreacting to things

don’t get me WRONG she is actually quite a sweetheart but it’s when u try to call her out or break her trust that she does a fuckin flip flop and goes bananas

she out here destroying herself so no one else can :/

she gets stressed out v easily and always has to take time for herself ahdsjkfg. spa days are what keep her going

loyal af to the ppl who are loyal to her!!!!!

can be lowkey manipulative without even realizing what she’s doing. just a smooth talker rly

ok some lil extra bits for ur consideration

she rly.....had no idea how to live by herself tbqh after moving out. she was LOST. didn’t know how to do laundry or make coffee or do the dishes, she didn’t know SHIT MY GUY. for someone who is v intelligent she rly......had a hard time adjusting to Real life.

occasionally walks the runway for her step-mom but her true Passion is acting

she has to take a nap every day or else she is impossible to deal with

likes to Partay but she always texts her exes when she’s drunk :/

a sentimental BITCH!!!! keeps every letter and birthday card anyone has ever given her. she has money so like.....she prefers to receive sentimental gifts that make her lowkey soft heart Melt.

loves spontaneous trips and adventures

since moving to gristol she’s become less of a fashion bitch and more of a casual comfort hoe but.......the gal always has her nails done

she hasn’t spoken to her dad since she moved away but she talks to her step-mom almost everyday bc she adores that womaN

she absolutely.....adORES american culture. she watched a ton of american tv growing up and she idolizes that shit dude

fluent in french & english ofc!! has a lil french accent

ok that’s all i have rly thank u for reading this far if u did and if not i feel u man and i still love u

askmeme: ‘Another About Me’

I was tagged by @edencalder, thanku!. it’s tweaked a lil bit to my comfort level, hope u don’t mind :] cut for length

1. How tall are you? - bout 5 ft 6 in

2. What color is your hair? - brown

3. What color are your eyes? - blue-gray

4. Do you wear glasses? - yeap

5. Do you wear braces? - nope

6. What’s your fashion sense? - idk, thirteen year old boy?? disaster rat?? nonexistent?? perpetual uni student?? it’s N7 hoodie and skinny jeans, boxershorts and oversized parka, N7 baseball cap and doc martens, tartan pajamas and old tees. i guess

7. Where were you born? - Scotland

8. What kind of student were you? - a really terrible one tbqh.. skipping class, doing dissections hungover, starting massive projects I’d had like six months to do the day before or two days before they were due, the pub, not studying til the night before and pulling allnighters, the LGBTQ+ soc (that part wasn’t terrible tho!), coursework and exam answers filled with complete and utter bullshit, smoking weed in the arboretum during lab breaks

9. Did you like school? - hated school, loved college

10. Favorite subject? - like academically speaking? biology. science in general

11. Favorite TV Shows? - ooo, overall.. probably The Walking Dead, Attack on Titan. lately I’ve been following The 100, and I’m pretty into The Expanse (new season soon!!). recently finished the latest season of Oitnb and Queer Eye. also, love me some RuPaul. honorable mention: GoT

12. Favorite Movies? - idk that specific ones spring to mind atm.. I like fantasy and sci-fi movies, superhero flicks, action/adventure, dystopian future type shit, martial arts stuff, some anime films.. the next thing on my to-watch list is a Chinese sci-fi movie called The Wandering Earth

13. Favorite Books? - saying the DA and ME novels or "the book that I’m in" (l o l ) feels like a cop out so let’s go with that I’m currently reading Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski, and that Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West will always be on my shelf

14. Favorite Past-time? - gaming!

15. Do you have any regrets? - a heap, most of which I don’t wanna talk about. honestly, a massive one I’m grappling with atm is not going vegan sooner.. I was vegetarian for 13 years before this, and all that time I thought I had removed myself from the equation and that my actions were aligned with my morals, but I realize now that they weren’t and that I was hypocritical, blind and still completely complicit in supporting and condoning the unnecessary violence, death, exploitation and associated environmental degradation that I hate.. I really, really wish I’d had that revelation/switch flipped sooner. I got a lot of guilt and self-hate over this, I really do

16. Dream Job? - I had it for many years, working with animals! it was really great, then I just felt like a change of scene. now idk, i just don’t think about that stuff like at all  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

17. Would you ever get married? - no

18. Would you like to have kids? - hell naw, my balls retract right back up in there

19. Do you like shopping? - it’s ok? it’s whatever really. I don’t seek it out, I hardly ever buy new stuff that isn’t video games

20. Scariest Nightmare You’ve Had? - uuuh.. there was that time I woke up thinking I’d been like framed or something for the murder? of Albus Dumbledore? until that like half-sleep fell away and I realized it was obviously just a dream because he isn’t real. recently I dreamt my bro had been kidnapped by some generic evil organization, that was pretty stressful. or that time I had a sex dream about Piers Morgan, now that was truly horrendous lmfao, i’m scarred for life

21. Any enemies? - the British state/Unionist establishment :^)

22. Do you believe in miracles? - nah

23. How are you? - oh yknow, just somewhere between insomnia and existential angst

[bartsugsy]

When do you think will be the last time we'll see dr. useless? I heard somewhere that we won't be seeing much of him after next week.

ok

i was just talking about this with @lesfemmesdangereuses 

and tbqh we’re worried

so steven stopped filming very much around the same time the whites stopped filming, i think, which means that he’s definitely in next week, maybe in the week after at a push, and then wasn’t in leeds again unti this week (they’re currently filming end of february stuff, we believe)

so u might think, sure, maybe alex and aaron break up next week. maybe aaron realises rob has taken the ring off and becomes a slight irrational mess but also realises, because it’s an honest to god wake up call, that a universe in which he and robert aren’t married isn’t a universe he wants to live in, or maybe alex is like lmao hey stop taking it out on me, are u actually upset that ur ex husband whom u are no longer married to isn’t wearing his ring, and aaron is like, hahaha uh.... and alex is like ur a messy bitch and we are over aaron dingle

or maybe something else happens that leads to them doing the forever split

maybe that’s what happens

or maybe

fuckin maybe

nothing happens between them and alex and aaron continue dating but alex isn’t fuckin on screen

and aaron is on screen providing fucking emotional support to robert, because there’s no way that’s not the storyline he’ll be tied to, i would be shocked if that’s not where aaron gets brought back into robert’s story again

so aaron is out doing this

while alex is at home like wow gee why do i never see my boyfriend anymore and why does he keep hanging out with his ex husband

would any person ever be that rude to another human?

yes, aaron dingle would

i don’t trust him. he has not earned my trust. i do not have faith that aaron will see a robert who is struggling with a massive and terrible thing and not immediately be like here i am have a cup of tea talk to me about ur feelings have a hug or 10 

i’m rooting for comforting robron hugs here they better deliver

and the show will be like oh here is the barrage of feelings for robert that aaron has been hiding since july basically

whilst his boyfriend is off existing off screen

until fuckin february when he comes back to get broken up with

would they do this?

bitch they might

would i enjoy it?

bitch you know i would

would i be sad for dr alex?

bitch i would rOOT FOR THAT BOY TO TAKE HIS ULTIMATE REVENGE JUSTICE FOR DR ALEX’S FEELINGS

(for the record i feel like this probably wouldn’t happen bc they would have to really pull some shit off to work that pacing, but tbh who knows with this show who god damn knows) (also maybe they need alex to still exist as something that’s continues to keep aaron slightly removed from robert just for another month, but uh.... idk) (I TRUST NO ONE)

[mayasderen]

berta talk about your 10 movies list!!!! i want to hear about your movies

okay!!!nice

1. Rent: okay I first seen this movie like two days ago (with you lmao) but I’ve seen it like three times since hfhggj. It’s so fucking good it made me cry I fell in love with all the characters and then they broke my heart,,,and also like the whole history of it and how important this was for the gays…I’m gonna start crying again. and I want a love like angel and Collins had except like,,,,none of us dies too soon

2. Megáll az idő: so i first saw this film this sumér when me and my family went to this rooftop cinema and the doc and the producer of the movie were there and like it’s an AMAZING movie the cinematography is incredible the actors are phenomenal (and I’d be really interested in how u for example found it because I think there are a lot of. idk specifically Hungarian stuff in it that u might not get but whom knows) but the thing about it is it made me seriously think about making movies for a living in the future so it’s very important to me

3. Star Wars: to be FAIR I kinda only put it there to annoy you but the whole Star Wars franchise is like my entire childhood and life and i love all the characters and it’ll always be close to my heart

4. Paris is Burning: it’s like my fave documentary and I have a ton of documentaries that I LOVE so that’s a big deal and it helped me a lot with understanding the history of my ‘people’ and instead of seeing me being gay as a struggle (which I very much did at the time when I first watched it) I started to feel real deep pride in it. also like it’s beautifully filmed and the colors and everything is just incredible

5. Moulin Rouge: okay so I have 2 favourite directors who are almost the perfect opposite of each other and they’re both in the list and baz is one of them if it weren’t obvious. I personally think Moulin Rouge is his best (not-shirt) film the cinematography is breathtaking the actors are amazing the soundtrack is my favourite soundtrack ever tbqh and it has one of the most beautiful and absurd love stories in cinema (lesbians…..) and like it’s a bertra movie also so things just add up y’know

6. Beginners: I kind of did categories of which I would wanna chose movies by and I had a category called ‘films that made me think about life like no film before’ (fun fact I also had me and earl and the dying girl here). I genuinely sobbed through this movie it really hit close to home in a lot of places and I feel like eventhough I couldn’t point out specific things it changed in my life I wouldn’t be the same person I am today if I hadn’t seen beginners

7. Pride: this is my comfort film I’ve probably seen it more than twenty times because I watch it everytime I’m sad or internalized homophobia (or just simple homophobia) gets to me and when I felt really alone and hopeless last year (because of being a lesbian) these characters felt like friends I had who could give me hope

8. Meshes of the afternoon: I mean you basically know everything I think about this film we watched it together twice now and it really is My Favourite Movie even if it’s a short film i could analyze it for hours I’ve seen it like 10 times now I think and if it weren’t obvious Maya Deren is my other favourite director she made me wanna do film back when I didn’t realize it yet but she put that idea in my head.

9. The Hours: I saw this movie two years ago the summer I realized I was a lesbian but I haven’t told anybody yet I just tried to subtly make my sister watch gay media with me lmao. it’s one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen and it’s very clever and it’s partially about Virginia Woolf who’s one of my favourite authors and the one I feel closest to personally. the whole thing is incredibly moving I watched the last 15 minutes with tears silently running down my face and I haven’t watched it ever since because I’m a bit scared of the place in my mind it takes me

10. Night on Earth: I love Jarmusch he’s on the list of my top 10 favourite directors and I probably saw this movie too early i was 12 or 13 (for context me and my family have themed movie nights every winter break and that year it was Jarmusch films) and I remember just watching the credits roll down and just staring in front of me because it put thoughts about life in my brain that 13 yr old me wasn’t ready to think about yet. Then I watched it again last year and weirdly enough it had an even more profound effect on me it’s haunting and beautiful and really cleverly done but it’s also really fucking depressing lol,,,,I need like two year breaks between rewatching it but it’s honestly worth it every single time
