#there is so much history

[baronessblixen]

I thought it was so heartfelt! David just seems like he’s going so far out of his way to apologize and carries so much on his shoulders when it comes to his past behavior toward her. I agree Gillian does get a little scripted with her promos which made me sigh a bit… But when they were on track?? Some real good shit. Gillian really knows how to steer David thru and out areas that David is really uncomfortable with and he follows thru to answer her.. likewise David is good at following her train of thought and getting thru to her point. I did get the impression that some of the rawness of David’s confessions kind of clocked Gillian to the point where she like fell back and was just absorbing and wanting to listen rather than talk. I love hearing their closeness and that 30 year friendship, it really does shine thru and their chemistry is still there. I’d like to hear another convo between them w/o the self promos as an incentive, and now that they know a little more of what to expect. But I do agree w/ David on how he safe guards their relationship because he doesn’t want it to feel performative… so who knows if we’ll get another ever. But it would be nice (there was so much more I wanted to hear about in depth).

It was heartfelt! I loved it. I truly was surprised how much the whole Vancouver thing hurt him.

I love that he's obviously really thought about this and reflected upon it. His apologies seemed genuine. They have such a way with each other. She sometimes took over, asking him questions, and it just worked. They know exactly how to handle the other.

I'd love to hear another conversation too. You can tell they had fun. Especially in the bonus content. We probably won't get another - and that's fine. I hope they'll do what they said at the end there. Keep doing this. With the mics off.

At least once a month I remember that Ozai ruled for ~3 years. That's shorter than one presidential term. That's nothing. In comparison Zuko - who suffered so much cruelty and was made to feel worthless under Ozai - ruled for ALMOST 70 YEARS. That's more than 22 times the length of Ozai's rule - and he will go down in history as one of the most influential and well loved Fire Lords of all time

it cracks me up that there was a secret society of American journalists who, from 1965 to 2006, slipped the phrase "it was as if some occult hand..." into articles

this all started when one guy used the phrase in an article and his friends thought it was so hilariously out of place that they all started using it

it drove their editors crazy but they kept doing it

that was like. the whole thing. they called it the Order of the Occult Hand and all it did was put a random metaphor into as many news articles as possible

they picked a new phrase in the early 00s, which has not been revealed yet- to my knowledge

its so crazy that for the last 5 years a small but annoyingly vocal online group has been acting like mob movies of all things are pretentious and inaccessible cinema. yeah the godfather is kinda slow but these are movies about criminals who shoot people

just want to remind y'all of some kirkwall-related details that are not at all relevant for the possible events of datv:

meredith stannard is alive and kicking and is also planning a war against tevinter

red templars are in control of the gallows; it's hard to tell what's going on in the city itself, but with varric absent it might be left with no viscount again

there's an elven graveyard on sundermount where ancient elves entered uthenera; it is also possibly dedicated/related to mythal

there was also a demon contained in an idol on top of sundermount who supposedly possessed a great knowledge about arlathan and eluvians

the veil in kirkwall has always been remarkably thin and tevinter magisters were weakening it on purpose during their reign; the whole city was built as an enormous blood magic ritual site

if the veilguard squad is going to travel through the eluvians there's still one in kirkwall. the one that has been plot-relevant since dao

Ok so I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of researching period food & recipes, and,,,,

"one fifteenth century recipe contains the word "Chickens" four times-with four different spellings, of which the first is "Schyconys.""

excuse me medieval people but what the fuck

quotes by Victorians about the 1920s view of their generation's women

"We are frequently told that the Victorian woman...generally behaved like a pampered and neurotic infant. This is all moonshine. I do not think that I ever saw a woman faint before I came to London in 1869, and not often after then...they enjoyed a hearty laugh, and a good many of them a contest of wits with any man." -Nineteenth Century, a Monthly Review, 1927 (written by a man born in 1850)

"What queer ideas the girl of 1929 has about the Victorian period- they are not a bit true...Marriage was by no means the end and aim of our existence. Oxford and Cambridge claimed quite a few of us after school days were over. We had great ideas about 'life' and what it all might mean to us." -St. Petersburg Times, 1929 (written by a woman born in 1853)

"True, debutantes were chaperoned at balls. But that fact did not prevent them from dancing as frequently as they chose with their favorite partners. The idea that girls in the Victorian era spent their days sewing seams and practicing scales is another fallacy." -Gettysburg Times, July 1, 1927 (quote from the Dowager Lady Raglan, Ethel Jemima Somerset, who lived from 1857 to 1940)
