any thoughts feelings predictions for the newsreader s2? im sooo excited <33 i only found the show thanks to u and deah lol

hello! oh, i have so many thoughts and feelings thank you for asking and also omg i am so chuffed you found the show thanks to us 💖so quickfire round:

i feel everyone got hotter in the years since season 1 and 2 and i thank them and salute them for that

i can't really decide if helen and dale are genuinely broken up behind closed doors and presenting a happy couple front for the network's sake, or if they are still together but just Going Through It behind closed doors. either way it will be a JOY to watch sam and anna eat up that kind layered fronting. anna was SO GOOD with that in season 1 and its gonna be dialed right up!!!!

dale in the nightclub!! i predict my sweetie pie of a boy will probably get some d!! or have a nice night out in a gay club! hopefully with tim from camera. but also HELLO to that nice celtic sounding guy having a flirt with dale at the bar <333

if there's one thing about me, its that i love when a show about journalism media covers a historic election night!!!! and the first ep is gonna cover bob hawke's election after the queen dissolved our parliament for being too corrupt and cringe!!! that's my shit baby!!!

idk if this is too niche to be excited for this, but idc!! the series is set across 1987-88, which was the beginning of bob hawke's term as prime minister. to me, he's a really interesting PM in that, not only was he one of the first PMs to support Australia becoming a republic, but he was also the first PM to advocate for and co-sign the promise of a treaty with Aboriginal peoples in 1988 with the Barunga Statement. it's hard to say for sure, but briefly in the trailer you can see footage of Land Rights protests led by Aboriginal actor Hunter Page-Lochard of Cleverman fame so I am predicting (hopefully) we'll see the News At Six team cover this and I am interested to see how they do it! They are definitely reporting on the bicentennial celebrations which had a LOT of First Nations protests so I am watching closely!!

it also looks like they have a bit more budget because everything looks just that little bit more elevated!!

sorry yes i am ranting i am just SO EXCITED. never was a show more made for me specifically ever. like its a bisexual show full of hot people about the workings of news media that's Australian set during the Hawke era. NEVER WAS A SHOW MORE MADE FOR ME 🥰🥰🥰

bela please tell me more about dev patel riz ahmed angsty rom com, u cant just leave me hanging at one post

OKAY LISTEN SO BASICALLY RUBY @rhubarbspring PUT OUT THE IDEAS OF A DEV + RIZ ROMCOM THAT COULD EITHER BE A CHEESY DRAMATIC BOLLYWOOD DHARMA PRODUCTIONS TYPE THING, ON PAR WITH MOVIES LIKE KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHAM ETC, OR AN ANGSTY MOVIE ABOUT LOVERS SEPARATED DURING THE INDIA PAKISTAN SEPARATION.

And then I suggested that because they're both desi british they could have a movie that starts out sickly sweet about two brown south Asian kids who grow up as friends in a town like Birmingham or similar, but then they find that they are into one another as lovers which is an idea that opposes a lot of the ways they grew up with etc. basically my projection of my identity as an Indian British kid in England, but through Riz Ahmed and Dev Patel. And it was the sweet spot between both of Ruby's ideas that makes both of us feel seen as south Asians in Europe.

hiiiii rey i just finished bridgerton s2 (as u may have noticed, if not it's for the better cause it drove me crazy), is queen charlotte worth watching? 👀

it is!! I liked it more than s1, less than s2 (sorry but nothing compares to kate and anthony to me) and would say in comparison is the one I skipped the least of bc it actually had interesting stuff going on overall. big thing w queen charlotte tho is the straight up torture scenes that i did have to skip past bc no reason why that needed to be filmed imo

but yes do recommend just proceed w caution in regards to the treatment by some characters of george

more importantly: pls talk abt s2 kate and anthony go brrrr

[shesnake]

hi merry! hope you are enjoying malta ♥ i finished season 2 of the newsreader today (instead of doing school work) and it was intense. i don't remember last time i was this stressed ! in a good way ofc. so i was wondering what your thoughts were, especially on dale and helen's arcs as well as noelene rejecting helen's offer to produce for her. have u been listening to the companion podcast?

hello! I finished it yesterday 🥰

I haven't been listening to the podcast (I'm a fake fan, I know 💀), but I have so many thoughts! these are mostly raw and half formed but anyways:

I see Helen and Dale's plot lines as very nuanced takes on walking the line between being damned if you do and damned if you don't. sometimes to get what you want, especially if you're marginalised in any way, there are no good choices or options. I think Helen and Dale's plot lines show what it is to come face to face with that reality and how soul crushing it is to navigate.

Noelenes story was honestly my favourite of the season even if I'm not the biggest fan of her n Rob as a couple. I loved seeing her thrive in the producer role and talk with Helen more. Loved watching her juggle the ethics and demands of producing as a woman of colour. "the landscape is different for me" >>>> baller line. Very much about how for women of colour in journalism, there's much less freedom to turn down stability to just run off to do gigs in say, America. But also she loves Rob and her family and has obligations in the way Helen as someone who's estranged, single and white does not. It was a great arch and Noelene advocating for herself is huge growth for her. I loved to see it.

I will say Helen's plot line was my least favourite only because I DESPISED seeing her hook up with Lachlan Murdoch Ordered On Wish™. That's not to say it didn't make sense or it was bad. It was compelling and so in character for Helen to always be looking to be with people who make her feel in control, but I STILL did NOT want to see her fuck proxy Lachlan Murdoch. I was so happy when she dropkicked his ass. I don't think she'll go to America. I think she'll back out, come back to Aus, and realise she needs to get hired as an anchor on a rival network and her n dale will be rivals of news reading. That's how she'll get back at Lindsay too. I hope that's where she'll channel that new-found independence.

Dale's monologue to Donna at the end >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AHHHHHHH I was vomiting blood but he DID IT. HE BECAME THE NEWSREADER. what did it cost? Only everything :(((( but I did really like how Dale's first (??) sexual experience with a guy was not with any of the main characters. I think it showed how isolated and compartmentalised that part of himself is from what he sees as his "real" life. But Sam Reid's performance of the shame, the repression of it (when he was brushing his teeth 😭) and how that shame mutates into just being ice cold with Gerry and Donna. And how that fear and shame driven persona gets him what he wants? Perfection. I cried for 10 minutes.

Deah and i are working on a @gayvclubpodcast ep about gender and sexuality in news drama stories so I'll have more coherent thoughts then 💕

playlist prompt cowboys reunited bc i need ur country music knowledge (and maybe, they're lesbians)

Listen as usual it's very melancholy but I promise it makes sense if you listen to it, there's a STORY.

It's been a while, my friend.

another campaign brought to my attention by a palestinian i speak personally with, and i trust its legitamcy. Hamdy has suffered great loss since the start of this genocide, his mother, aunt, siblings, cousins, neices and nephews, and 5 month old sister were martyred. despite making the campaign months ago, Hamdy has only received FIVE donations so far, and hasn't gotten any donations in months.

please share and donate to his campaign, no amount is too little!
