it is actually so unfair how being quiet is treated as a character flaw that needs fixing in every area of life
#every single school parents evening and uni review session and work reviee meeting the feedback has been#oh yeah i'm smart and hardworking and everything is great but i'm too quiet and need to talk more#like my boss even said she knows it's not actually necessary for a writer#like exactly! i know that i'm quiet but that's why i'm not trying to have a career in sales or something#literally i sit at home at my computer and read and write stuff and my minimal communication with others is written#why do i need to be loud!!!#i've had the same feedback for 20 years at this point it's like can we not just accept that some people are just quiet and not try to fix it#talking

Charlie Cox as Jerry in Betrayal >>>>
I think if every Charlie fan saw him deliver the monologue at the end of this specific scene in such a raw, poignant way they would've bawled over. A gorgeous scene fantastically delivered by Charlie. Still living in my mind rent-free after almost 4 years:
#charlie cox#betrayal#harold pinter theatre#missing the betrayal era 💔#i wish every charlie fan got to see this play his performance here was legitimately phenomenal#if you thought he was great in daredevil he was amazing in this#it's what made me obsessed with charlie as an actor#he is a 'revelation' just like what the NYT review of this play said#theater charlie is something else 🥹

Many men had offered her many things in the past, love and friendship, luxury and jewels, entertainment, dogs, amusements, homage--some she had accepted, some refused, but no man before had offered her work. Peter had offered her that, he had offered her a share of his--not noble or inspiring or fascinating work, just his work, what he had. He had offered it her, called her great energies into play, and set her to work beside himself in a furrow. And she was glad; for some reason she found it very good.
--Desire by Una Lucy Silberrad
#books#jo walton has done it again#almost the only reason i ever look at tor.com these days is to read her monthly roundup of the books she's read#because a good chunk of her reading is the type of classics i love#including a lot of forgotten light classics of the early 20th century#this was one of those#mentioned in a column from last year that i happened to read the other day#with a review that said this should be one of those classics that everyone knows and reads#instead of being this completely forgotten book#and since it happened to be on hoopla (a common perk of these types of book recs from her) i read it#i don't think it's all-time classic great#but it's a solid middlebrow novel#the beginning was a bit of rough going but after the major part of the plot kicked off it become rather lovely#because there was a lot of the above#explorations of the value of work and friendships and relationships#and because of things like the above quote the central relationship is one of my favorite romances of the year#it's a solid relationship built on friendship and mutual respect#with both of them having stories and emotional journeys beyond the romance#reminded me a little bit of gaskell in some ways

I'm back and Guys they played my favourite song they played where your eyes don't go and they played spy and last wave and the darlings of lumberland and let me tell you about my operation and
#my back hourts ough. and i totally froze my ass of standing in that queue in the rain for 2 and a half hours#but well it was worth it for the spot right by the stage!!!!!!#and oh my gosh. oh mmy god. this was so!!!!!!!#well first of all it was so damn fun i was bouncing and singing along the whole time#and there were so many great moments even besides the fact that the setlist was AHHHFHG SO FUCKING GOOD?????#and it actually got even more crazy during the second sent it was all just one 'no way' moment after another#and my pal got the setlist i'm so happy for them..... but uyeah i have so much to talk about#i'm totally making that proper concert review later and going into detail on all the stuff#and i actually got many more videos than i planned because as i said there were so many 'NO WAY i gotta record this' moments#like i actually don't know if i should just put them on youtube and link them here or what#because i have the entirety of spy recorded among other things#well first i'll need to make sure that the videos came out ok but i probably shouldn't have to worry about that much#thankfully my brother's phone is pretty well suited for this kind of stuff unlike mine#anyway will get into all that later like later next week even maybe so when i'm back home#in the meantime i'll have to reflect on all this anazingness. oh my god this was so awesome.#as my pal said it's so easy to undestand now why there are people who go to hunderds of their concerts and never get bored of it all#so worth the wait i love you tmbg i had so much fun aaaaahhhhh ok going to bed now i'm so tired but very happy#goosepost

feel like pure shit, just want her back
#james talks#riverdale#miss the whole crew really but Betty especially bc Lili was so magnificent#god as perfect as the finale was (and it really was one of the greatest finales ever) i wish we had gotten another season#they had as good a run as a show on that network could hope for but there are few shows on there that eclipsed the network like Riverdale#like the list includes like. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Gossip Girl. and ig The Vampire Diaries. and that's it.#(that list is for shows almost exclusively produced by the CW. CXG DID have other producing companies but it was largely the CW).#no show will ever quite be like Riverdale ever again and no show will ever reach the heights it did.#especially not on their shoestring CW budget.#like honestly i just need more Riverdale in my life.#like RAS and the writing team found such a great way to turn their weaknesses into strengths.#as an article on the show once said [paraphrased]: it was a great show that was really good at pretending to be bad.#even now nobody gets the show like i do.#everyone thinks it's some silly little show about crazy shit with crazy plotlines and pretty lighting and aesthetics but no substance—#when in reality it's an incredible pulpy anti-fascist text questioning the role of authority using those aesthetics for a larger purpose#but i'll save the real analysis for whenever i get around to actually making the Riverdale video essay i need in my life#unless Quinton Reviews or SuperEyepatchWolf beat me to it first. they're the only people who i think will actually understand the show.#like SuperEyepatchWolf's video on the show is already pretty fun even if it's a little dismissive of the substance of the show—#(tbf to him it only covered up until the S05 mid-season finale and S06 hadn't released yet)#but like he at least feels like he gets the spirit of the show. especially with the wrestling comparison.#and i hope i don't need to explain why Quinton would get it.#anyway. i need the Riverdale crew back.

The Siren The Song and the Spy
sequel to The Mermaid The Witch and The Sea following many new & background characters
allies from across the seas are coming together to fight against the empire once and for all
two siblings from a community who’ve held back colonisation until now, and the rich girl who washes up on their shore after a shipwreck, a pirate spy in the capital, and various others
and the Sea and her daughters, the mermaids, and creatures who want to fight back
#The Siren The Song and the Spy#the mermaid the witch and the sea#maggie tokuda-hall#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#i enjoyed this a lot!! more than book 1 tbh#i enjoyed book 1 but wasn't obsessed w it for whatever reason. also my memory of it is pretty hazy#but ahh!!! good characters#TWO aroace MCs :)#aroace books#florian & evelyn only have a couple short chapters between them; so maybe not great for fans of them#(but also honestly i'd prefer that to like. they're mcs but bad things happen to them)#it maybe… simplifies revolution and overturning the empire a bit?#but I guess most of the characters are just joining right when it’s about to pop off.#and also it does have the fairytale vibes that makes that work (I saw a review that said ‘deau ex oceania’ haha)

everyone lied to me about the bergman brothers these books are kind of bad
#listen!!! this is my fault because i SHOULD HAVE KNOWN after the dumpster fire that is magnolia parks#btw this is nowhere NEAR that bad#but my point is that people say BOTH are just like the addicted series and those people are STUPID#(sorry if you’re reading this and you’ve ever said that. ily)#like magnolia parks was basically unreadable for me i hated it. and i quite enjoy these bergman books so this is an unfair comparison#also i really love chloe liese’s representation and that goes a long way in saving these books tbh#with both series’ i KNEW i OBVIOUSLY wouldn’t enjoy them as much as the addicted series so i tried to manage my expectations#and yet in the back of my heart i secretly hoped i would finally get that same buzz again#it’s obvious to me that any series where each couple has one standalone book will never even come close#i knew what the vibes of this series would be and i was right. it’s still pretty good but the books aren’t Great#i think the 3rd one about the already married couple will be my favorite but maybe another one of these books will surprise me#of course i ordered them all ahead of time like an idiot ���� i never do that and i don’t even like the covers#the reviews for the series are so high i just thought there was no chance of it missing#going straight from my hands to the donation box unfortunately#mine#bergman brothers

Lavender Vanilla Cake 🎂 💐
#erin bakes#OK SO! unfortunately the lavender torani syrup is not really a good way to get lavender flavor in the cake#HOWEVER I know that now! and I already have actual food grade lavender extract en route SO! I can revisit this experiment again#HOWEVER HOWEVER! the piping came out OK! the coloring was good! I'm happy I matched the cake & frosting like... perfect#the sugar pearls in the middle of the flowers look cute!#the flowers aren't perfect but I was using docotored store bought frosting so#they were never gonna look GREAT#although the sugar flowes I ordered to decorate with also were a bust. they were supposed to have sugar roses in the pack#but there were NO roses. ZERO. just flat little daisies. I was PISSED. $16 for nothing. so mad I left a review like rrrr 😠#so I just decided to say fuck it! and do the whole thing with drop flowers and practice piping#and using the plating tweezers I got#the cake itself was good! like I said a little disappointing that there wasn't much actual lavender :(#I definitely noticed a difference in the crumb of the cake also cause of the torani syrup#which I was most worried about cause the sugar in the syrup I wasn't sure if it would make it mushy af#but idk it came out cute! so not a total bust!

I can not ever talk with middle aged men about video games. On the internet is one thing but real life is another kind of annoyance because you know they're serious about it.
Like why is it so hard for this guy to understand that I play games that I'm interested in and not whatever popular shit the gamerbros bark about. And maybe I just have different taste than you?? Insane I know
#asked me what game i'm currently playing. i say god of war ragnarok. starts shitting on it when i didn't ask#then i said i'd love to play hellblade and he responded with “first game was shit and second one has bad reviews”#do you know how many great stuff has bad reviews? let me form my own opinion damn#why do they feel so superior to put down young women for the pettiest reasons

i know that jesse armstrong is more than capable of knowing when to end a series but the way it was announced that season 4 is going to be the last one kind of made me feel like the whole process behind it is a bit sketchy. they only revealed that s4 is the last one only a month before the premiere, even after posting teaser trailers that never even hinted at the season being the last, and even the cast got the news only during the table read for the final episode. the promotion of season 4 has been disappointing especially when compared to season three. while the actors are not the ones writing the show, most of them have been very clear that they could have seen the show go on for another season and their disappointment over the show ending has been clear as day. while an ambiguous ending will be a very fitting end to succession and i am not against it, i am definitely wondering if the decision to finish with season 4 was something that developed during the filming process instead of it being a clear guideline throughout the creative process of season 4.
#succession#idk my biggest complaint is not telling the actors. like i get it that it might have impacted their performance but still#it is their job and definitely a big and meaningful project for all of them. and if they got to know only in january or something???#at that point there was already teaser trailers coming out and basically no hints of the season being last. ofc i don't know what goes on#behind the scenes but personally i am a bit annoyed sdjhfdsf#i just keep remembering that one quote from jesse where he said that they're gonna keep going as long as it keeps being fun. huh.#maybe i'm just bitter because my favorite show is ending. but i am not a fan of how this season being last has been handled#but i am glad that at least the reviewers think the season is great and i am incredibly excited to see what happens!!! i just wish the#annoucement had given everyone more time to come to terms with the ending#also this has been bothering me for weeks now and i wanted to get this out of my system before the premiere. please enjoy

Would you fuck scott the woz. It sounds like you wanna peg scott the woz.
The guy who hates pokemon but still buys the games? The guy who buys literally every Nintendo product even though he acknowledges they sometimes don't put they're put that much effort into some of their releases because they know people will buy it and in fact those people who will buy Nintendo products regardless of quality? The guy who said he bought a European and Japanese wii u to play foreign games when he's a mega popular gaming youtuber with access to probably 1000s of people who would offer to help him step by step? And worst of all. A guy who only uses apple products. No. I don't want to peg the popular Youtuber. I want to peg the guy who tells me to hack my wii u instead and uses Linux and one day I catch him in my panties jerkin off. Who said all that. ME!!! FUCKING ME BITCH!!!! I FUCKING SAID ALL TGAT
#For the record he's my favorite youtuber and he is physically attractive BUT#Idk it really really bugs me when rich people just buy shit because they can#If I was dating someone who just kept buying things because he can I would get mad at him#Probably a great guy but I would go why are you buying pokemon when you said you hated it. He's not a reviewer#Who knows. Maybe I would date him. And tell him that he didn't need that zeebo just to flash it on screen for 2 minutes#mlarayoukasks#anon

mum's reaction to the kitchen was "wow" then "very clever" and then just a lot of nostalgia for her time spent in london
i'm still pretty much casually impressed. as a debut, i really like it. and yes, i'm a daniel kaluuya stan at my core but that's not why i liked it. i really loved the humanity of it, the characters, the visuals. i would have wanted a few things tweaked for like. maximum impact but i saw daniel talk about how sometimes you can't get the perfect shot when you're limited on time and money and like. fair. it's a debut.
i also really enjoyed the visuals of london pre- and post gentrification. it's a dystopia but the feeling is accurate right now, too. and shooting it in london was such a good choice bc it just tugs at my heartstrings immediately. like. the way those glass boxes creep closer to the communities where people live really fucks me up as a london lover (brick lane my beloved) and i loved seeing it. the coldness and drabness of the luxury flat. the wanting to leave but not actually, not really bc it's not the place that's shit. idk if that makes sense.
i wonder how people not in london feel. or people not affected by gentrification.
#i've seen so many negative reviews and 1 stars#makes me sad#i keep thinking about the speech daniel had at the end of survivor's guilt and i know it's not about the film industry specifically but i'm#applying it to that as well and i just. idk. i love that he's able to put this specific story out there#also what he said in three rivers about wanting to live for what he believes in. and getting to see and enjoy it#this was such a random tangent. go stream we're all alone in this together by dave. great album. has much more DK than you'd expect#idk. i'm happy about what daniel was able to put into this film#there are no gifsets to reblog so i'm just rambling to my fuckign self jfc#i'm oliver twist shaking my little bowl at the world begging for one gifset#has anyone seen this ??????????????????????????? anyone ??????????#the kitchen#netflix#daniel kaluuya
