i think the first episode of season three of severance should actually just be a full 60 minute flashback of watching milchick train for work. the dance classes he obviously took. the weeks, months spent learning how to conduct for a marching band. practicing improv at the local bar's comedy night so he could outsmart the kier bot. the research he put into finding out kier's height just so he could get his ass.

zero time spent on business skills, computer skills, management skills. i want it realistic. i want to watch this man master every skill but running an office floor.

the b plot could be miss huang's theremin lessons. again, all flashbacks.

real people cant queerbait, sure, but celebrities often arent acting as real people, theyre selling you a persona and can intentionally mold that around queer audience engagement in some cases. and thats murky water but still undeniably wet. plus whatever misha collins did of course

I hate to defend Rob but seeing Sunny teens on Twitter try to speculate he isn't "speaking up" about voting because he's hiding being a secret Trump supporter is so insanely ridiculous when campaign contributions in the United States is public information:

(Yeah. That's a $100,000.00 donation to a grassroots victory fund, on top of a ton of donations to swing states.)

It's almost like making public political statements on social media is heavily advised against when you're a showrunner/employer to hundreds of people.

They started appearing last night, itchy like a rash. I was going to go to the doctor about them, but this morning some of them started blinking, and honestly I don’t think that old man is prepared to deal with that kind of a thing. I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

putting aside being sad about binghe for now, I was looking for the first time sqq directly compares binghe to a maiden, and as far as I can tell, the first time he calls him a maiden is this part:

To push him away during this moment would be like giving a young maiden -- one who'd finally worked up the courage to call and brokenheartedly weep to an older sister for comfort and encouragement -- a face-turning slap. It was really a bit cruel. (Chapter 11 in vol. 2 of the English translation)

this stands out to me because this is shortly after he finally realized binghe is attracted to him, while he's still grappling with the fact that he's "turned binghe gay." it's yet another example of sqq equating being gay with femininity -- he knows binghe is into men now, and thus begins him repeatedly referring to binghe's behavior as that of a maiden's

but the other thing that stands out to me about this quote is that sqq is also making himself a girl in this metaphor. I know the translation is probably lacking here and he's probably using jiejie to mean generic older female friend as opposed to jiejie meaning older sister, but still. shen qingqiu, why are both of you girls in this mental metaphor. hello. shen qingqiu are you aware that making both of you girls does not make it any less gay. shen qingqiu are you listening to me. shen qingqiu yes it's still gay when you're both girls

lowkey after like a week and a half of doing mild research into media archives I believe that most old tv should be public domain by default, considering studio execs were basically wiping their asses with the tapes but now want to posture about their copyright when it's a miracle from heaven any of the footage from that era exists

I was gonna add some song lyrics to this but realised I couldn't actually think of any Grace coded songs song recs would be greatly appreciated

So there's been some anvil-weighted relationship development scenes in Thamepo along with the more subtle ones. I haven't seen as much infatuation with sandwiches since kdramas were sponsored by Subway. In fact, I really think there was a serious missed opportunity here. I jest. Branded sandwiches would have put this over the edge. It's already teetering.

The phone number was the next one. But what I liked about this one (and to be clear, I liked the sandwich thing and how Po's own symbolism was co-opted on him, we just don't have to keep doing it, show, we got it already) - anyway, again, what I liked about this one was that Thame was so desperate for Po to not think he forgot to save his number because he didn't care about it.

Thame wanted Po to know that it was so important to him that he have it that he recited it back to him with the intention of remembering it. It was more about the action of showing the importance, than the remembering imo. Thame knows basically one thing about Po's ex - that he was dismissive of Po. And Thame clearly doesn't want Po to think he was doing the same.

And we know that Po's issue is that he felt so unimportant, so forgotten by his ex and here he has someone before him basically declaring no matter what happens, that he will make sure he remembers him.

It's pretty sweet, actually.
