#she's just.. :c

[esmes]

try as i might, i simply CANNOT stop thinking about annaleigh's mrs lovett so i need to just get this out of my system!!!

nellie lovett is a patient woman, in an overarching sense. there's ample evidence for this. in spite of hard times, she holds onto sweeney/benjamin's razors for 15 (!!!) years, all on the off chance he may someday return and have need of them again. she could've used the money, but she waited and waited. then, one day, she is rewarded for her patience. the man she held a torch for returns to her.

nellie lovett remains patient, chiding and reassuring sweeney when he is in the grips of a maddening impatience to get at the judge. she is patient with the way he is sometimes so far away, thinking of another woman even when his hands are on nellie's own form. she is patient with the way he brushes her off. she is patient with the way he sometimes looks at her like he wishes she was someone else - not always, though, because when they are plotting together she can tell it's really her he's seeing. she is patient, because there is good mixed in with the bad, and her patience has been rewarded. surely it will be again, right?

one of my favorite acting moments for annaleigh comes after the end of 'by the sea', when nellie and sweeney are ensconced on the couch and she has gotten him to concede that he loves her ("just a little bit?" uttered so quietly, so heartbreakingly unsure.) when his answer comes - "of course" - she is monstrously relieved.

sweeney is present with her just for a moment before slipping away again into his fantasy of revenge. so nellie takes his face - forcing him to look at her, hoping he will also SEE her, and finally, we see some impatience from her. after decades of not knowing, and now with her dream of a cobbled-together little family within reach, we see her beseeching him to be here, now, with her. your nellie, she says. for a moment, it seems as though he is finally ready to surrender, to commit to this life with her. they nuzzle noses and lean into the softest expression of affection we've seen from them yet. and then the moment is ripped away from them.

nellie lovett is a patient woman, and her dreams are just out of reach when she dies. even as she dances closer to her end, certain of what's to come, she desperately tries to recall her dream of the sea, to beseech him to come back to that moment on the couch with her. back to the moment when he almost surrendered.

so much of annaleigh's performance hinges on her portrayal of nellie lovett as this "bubbling bubbling pot of magic" (her own words). nellie is unflappable, optimistic, determined. she doggedly sees opportunity (and humor!) in everything. she is undeterred by sweeney's moments of indifference and callousness. there are MANY moments in which annaleigh's lovett shines, but never more so, imo, than in that moment on the couch. it makes me ACHE just to think of it. it's one of the only times we get a glimpse behind the curtain, a peek into the heart of a woman who simply cannot let go and who is going to her grave for it.

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.

"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."

translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"

It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

very this

some of the very sweet (and funny) bits of dialogue i got after marrying shane

[essenceofarda]

Sometimes a family is an elf, a dwarf, and the human orphan infant they find amongst the rubble after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields,, whom they decide to raise together,, 🥹

Anyway, yeah! Introducing Gigolas' daughter 👧🏻

(I still need to figure out her name--I want something that is a blend of dwarven and elvish, so suggestions from those more knowledgable about tolkien's languages/etc would be super appreciated! Also I have SO many fanart ideas for this lil' family, idk, let me know if you wanna see more art of them 🤩🥰)

I think about the fact Anya locking herself in the infirmary with Curly to kill herself and how it is in way reclaiming a space that was initially hers from Jimmy.

Not to mention how she must've been aware of Jimmy's obsession with Curly and the idea that he would lose his power over the both of them (based on the fact she likely thought they would never get the door open) and having to face the responsibility of two deaths being on his hands as acting captain.

It was her final act of agency stuck on that ship with her abuser and it says something that she chose to die next to Curly, despite his inaction, leaned against him as if they were just in a casual conversation before her death. Despite everything, Anya made the final decision on her own terms and it speaks volumes considering her treatment and demeanor up until that point.

it will truly never not be funny the extent to which astarion Does Not Plan.

we're going to seize power from the absolute's cult! how? well... they'll cross that bridge when they get there. a solution will probably become obvious eventually, right? whatever, who cares about the details.

we're going to kill cazador! how? aha, he's thought about this; he's going to collect information! and how is he going to do that and make sure he gets all of the information he needs? well....... they'll probably find things out by asking around, right? that part isn't as important, don't worry about it.

even with the bite -- buddy. pal. what were you planning to do if you had successfully bitten a party member without anyone noticing. when they wake up the next morning, they're going to notice the bite marks and how sluggish they feel.

astarion can think one step ahead max and that's where the ball stops rolling.
