#that we know of anyway

[thegoblinwitch]

i randomly discovered the 2019 series 'gentleman jack', about anne lister and her relationship with ann walker.

and omg, it's so great, i binge watched the first season yesterday and am going to do the same with the 2nd one today.

i love the story, i actually now really want to read her 5 million words diaries (lots of which was written in code!). but on top of that, the series really hits me in my historical fashion lil heart! like, it's the most historically accurate it can be with all the characters, and i absolutely love it!

plus, anne lister hits all my aesthetic fashion goals, even if it's late regency* style rather late victorian/early edwardian (which is my personal preference re fashion). mostly all black, mix of typically men fashion with what is acceptable women fashion and just, yes love it.

and like the struggle between society's expectations for (landed) women and who they love and how they live.

all of it. just yes.

my only beef rn, is the same i have with lots of historical dramas (i have the same beef with all the austen screen adaptations i've seen for example), is that is so very fucking white. there is one poc character, anne's chamber-maid eugénie, and that's it. maybe season 2 will redeem itself on that front? not getting my hopes up, but it's so very infuriating. it's like good grief people! poc existed in england at the time and not just as enslaved people! but that's a rant for another time. but always raises the hackles of my inner historian.

*technically it's late georgian, as george iv was on the throne, but regency era usually covers the actual regency (and a decade or 2 before it) until victoria came on the throne (esp considering there are so many georges, though georgian era covers the 2 goerges that succeeded each other before victoria, including the regecny, since it was george iv that was regent before he became iv and replaced goerge iii) and i'll stop here about my historical ramble.

Just finished The Magnus Protocol. Too many thoughts and feelings in my head, yet I'm at peace. Listening to Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell because that's THE song of the Magnus universe. But like...

What the fuck do I do now.

ERASE the plot of the whole series from your minds. they’re living a calm regular life and have their own jayviks to obsess over.

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
