if my wife looked up at me from a well she had fallen into with her big deep eyes and told me she was waiting for god to save her, then promptly burst into tears when I tried to help her, then said what if there was the teensiest possibility that god might not get her out because “why would I say that” I would simply invent a miracle bc that is my wife. my darling. my moronic pookie and there’s nothing anyone could do about it

Girls don't want a boyfriend. Girls want an utterly devoted gay husband who is in love with her in every possible remarkable way except one

[bluebirdcurse]

Love the Decameron girlie who's so Catholic she creeps out the other medieval Italians. Her adoring gay husband just like, my darling, this brunch doesn't deserve to hear about your well time. Your miraculous rescue by the lord's hunkiest angel is as pearls before swine.

Girls, get you a husband like Panfilo. If he doesn't kiss your widdle forehead and call you "my darling" every time you do something weird and slightly off-putting then he ain't it.

[instructions-are-included]

Is there a reason why this show has gotten ZERO promotions, press, or hype?

The Decameron is a series about a group of nobles and their staff who have been invited to isolate from the bubonic plague with a distant cousin/acquaintance in the Italian countryside.

Except he isn’t there.

Everyone who arrives has some level of sneaky lie going on, everyone is lusting after the hot doctor, Buster Bluth is head of household, Erin Quinn from Derry girls is the handmaiden for Shosh from Girls, and everyone is moments away from being exposed as a fraud or dying, by plague or otherwise.

10% of the time, everything goes entertainingly tits up in ways you could see coming, and the other 90% is a surprise that just feels… right.

It was so consistently just… good? That I looked up yo see if it was based on a book and it is! FROM 1353 ITALY. It predates Shakespeare, but the adaptation to a limited series manages to keep the wit and clever sense of humor while having people speak in regular cadence, not iambic pentameter.

The story has been modernized in some ways, while still staying true to the historical setting - there’s queer people! And class war! And a killer soundtrack! But also dowries! And an inquisition!

If you think Bridgerton is fun but a bit too romancey, this show is probably for you. I’m really surprised it’s been so… unmentioned. It’s really smart and is kind of the Bubonic Plague edition of White Lotus.
