inexplicably sad about the loathly lady. I just can't imagine being brave enough to ask anyone whether they would prefer you be attractive in the sight of their friends, or attractive when they fuck you. that those are the only two options. I can't stop thinking about how there are many other answers to that question, and almost all of them are wrong.
#reading maskerade really stirred up some nonsense.#there's a scene I didn't clock the first time I read it but stands out in jagged relief now#where agnes (who has memorized the score for MULTIPLE OPERAS and is dealing with an extreme sleep deficiency;#who understands full well that christine is a beautiful tone-deaf self-absorbed idiot)#gets cruelly overlooked by everyone. even the man who she helped transform into andrew lloyd weber.#because she is fat and has good hair.#and with her disc-defying voice she SCREAMS until all the glassware in the opera shatters. the world cracks.#......but then she and everything else has to keep going.#the world doesn't pause to admire her rage or her fortitude. nothing stops. it just.....goes on.#amazing sometimes to think that these books were written by a british man 40-odd years older than I am.#that's exactly it; I don't know how you know it but you do.#(sidenote it is quite funny that poems about arthurian knights and silly fantasy novels from the 1990s#are the only two referents for this fury that I can think of.#even recent television series don't handle it well. ehl oh ehl. ehl em eff ayh oh even.)

One Dress a Day Challenge
July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)
Agent Carter (s2e10, "Hollywood Ending") / Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter
Another dress with cutout designs, much like the purple dress from earlier in the season. The bright blue-green edging of the belt, sleeves, and neck really makes the elements pop, and also, it suggests the line work of a comic book panel.
I also notice that this costume incorporates elements of Agent Carter's two most iconic looks (see below), but with a twist. Blue with touches of red is a signature color combination for her. This dress has the double stripe at the waist, but blue instead of red, and interrupted in front. It also has something red on top, but sunglasses instead of a hat. I doubt it is too much of a stretch to suspect this was deliberate.

not to be like this but all of the posts (and there are many across multiple platforms) right now going "I mean obviously I'm not mad or whining or anything but it sucks that there's all these three week breaks, how am I going to survive, this is awful, I cannot believe this is happening to me" like, it does in fact come off as entitled no matter how many qualifiers are put onto it
and the a smaller subset of THAT going "CLEARLY C3 isn't a priority for the studio" or "they're obviously trying to kill C3" or even posting stuff that comes off as "um, don't they know that if they keep doing this I won't shop here watch anymore", like, come on
as a tangent, genuinely, I feel like a lot of people have trouble admitting that they don't actually like C3 so they get existentially worried about them losing interest over a slightly longer break because it'll force them to acknowledge that they aren't actually interested, but it's fine not to be interested!
#I will not be engaging with any asks or replies about this#yes I AM cranky in general in life today so that cranky tone is not imagined#like frankly I'm not *as* invested in C3 as I am C2 but like I AM interested in it so the break isn't killing me or my interest so it's ?#like come on I've waited longer for cable television shows. Candela fans wait this long. Don't get me started on British TV.#I'm a D.Gray-man fan and that releases QUARTERLY. Monthly comics. Novels.#Why are we all having hyperbolic breakdown posts over three weeks. Truly I do not understand this culture that's developed around C3.#every time there isn't an ep this week (incl for the regular week off) there's an outpouring of hyperbolic “i'm DYING” posts and I'm like ?#also the break between episodes 40 and 41 was a whole month (November into December 2022)#the break between 8 and 9 was three weeks (December 2021 into January 2022)#Like were you people not here for that?#Critical Role things

Shoass takasugi who has been afraid to look directly at gintoki for a decade: gintoki dont avert your eyes
#Sorry if u guys keep talking abt them looking (particle unclear) each other ill keep thinking abt it#Sopping wet gintoki posting#Mutual? Well gintoki doesnt look directly at anyone. He appears to but hes really just#Unfocusing his eyes to stare vaguely past ur shoulder into the distance#But for one beautiful brief 40 minutes of violent television they both chose to 🎉

This whole November my weekend watch schedule is Doctor Odyssey followed by Arcane the next morning. It's like having expensive Wagyu steak and pairing it with Baja Blast in a wine glass.
