new chapter of close to me out NOW (fondly dubbed by wayli and i the sea monster crawl chapter) - please refer to the "love is strange" dance scene in dirty dancing if you are unfamiliar bc this scene is
Call the Midwife is truly a show that gets depicting consent as sexy. Because consent is just the most basic thing you should have when engaging in romantic activities, what makes it sexy is if a person is very extra about it. Like there is a reason everyone thinks Patrick Turner is sexy. That scene where Shelagh turns away from Patrick and says that she can't let him kiss her hand even though she wants to because she is devoted to God, what is Patrick's answer? "If I didn't accept that, I wouldn't deserve to live". Wow. That sure is a thing you can say. Go off Doctor Sexy.
I know this is normally @miss-ute’s forte, but I rewatched the s2 Christmas special on a different streaming service today, and there were extended turandette scenes???? And different wedding music???
Also, sir, please…

Imagine being able to time travel and going back to series 1 and telling Sister Bernadette that this will be her life! Telling her she’ll be honest with herself, with Patrick. She’ll leave the order but not her sisters. Sister Bernadette will become Shelagh, she will marry Patrick with everyone she loves most around her. Timothy will call her mum and love her so much more than she could ever imagine. Tell her she will be a mum to four children that worship and test her and Patrick at the same time. They will affectionately be known as ‘The Turners’. They will have their ups and down, but always have each other. She will continue to work in the community as a nurse and midwife, and that community will continue to love her dearly.
Imagine being able to time travel back to series 1 to tell Sister Bernadette that she will find her path in life and she will be loved, complete and fulfilled.
I saw a fic where it insinuated that Patrick and Shelagh don’t have sex very often and I just laughed. That’s the biggest bs I’ve ever heard. Do you see the way they look at each other? There’s a reason they had a very recent pregnancy scare. Heck, there’s a reason they defied the odds and she got pregnant in the first place. The sexual tension is there people.
Pause said he only ever opens MineCraft whenever Etho and Beef ask him if he wants to play with them and he's always down to play. And seeing the three of them constantly laugh at each other is so wholesome.
I'm so glad they're doing CTM maps together again.
I can't believe they did that episode where Delia asks Patsy to go to a lesbian bar with her because "there will be women like us" and Patsy responds with "i don't want to be with women like us, i want to be with you", and she doesn't seem willing to discuss it any further
But in that episode Patsy treats a woman called Daisy who lives on a boat with her family, and when Daisy starts giving birth and Patsy can't get to her right away, the other women who live on boats with their families do what they can to help Daisy. And they tell her that it doesn't matter that they haven't met her before, they know what her life is like so they know her and they are already friends. Then later, when Daisy holds her baby, she asks Patsy to not cut the umbilical cord right away, because "there are worse things than to be a part of something bigger, even for just a little while"
So when the episode ends, Patsy and Delia enter the lesbian bar, clasp hands and dance together
If I had a penny for every time a fictional doctor held my heart and soul in a vice grip and occupied every waking thought for an indeterminate period of time, I would have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.
