#im rewatching Hornblower

[isaacathom]

the issue with watching ~2 movies a week is that so many of the movies my friends and i have been watching have majority male casts, which means i spend the majority of my time being heterosexual (such that a nonbinary asexual can be) rather than gay, because there are either no women or no women who are like. Actual Characters. Or Good. Or Whatever

#like we just watched king arthur 2004 and i do love keira knightly but like a full on hour passes before she shows up #so im spending my time point at lancelot and going 'i came in predisposed to find him attractive #bc i have seen hornblower and its the same actor' #man was responsible for me developing brainrot i think he's allowed this yknow #but its like... its just guinevere. and like shes cool but idk man. #need me a story for like 5 named female characters of note doing things #which i think means i need to rewatch The Old Guard or smth (i will not do this)

1. how has your day been?

Extremely Good! it got to like 20 whole degrees today and the sun was OUT i spent literally all day reading in the garden experiencing WARMTH! seasonal depression who!!! the forget-me-nots are flowering!!! yes!!!

2. what was the last thing that made you smile?

my cat (gus) decided he needed to sit in the sink, And Then he migrated to the drying rack, where he was very interested in the knife holder

3. what’s keeping you entertained these days?

uhhhhhh i watched hornblower to like. switch off my brain and do something that Wasn’t thinking about classics (i failed and related it to classics Anyway btw) and now i am Rewatching hornblower but this time thinking about (oh you know) R*ne G*rard’s M*metic Th*ory,

4. if you are in some kind of quarantine/self isolation, is there anything you’d like to achieve in this time?

everything may have gone to shit but i still have five essays to write and then exams!!! i am Going to Not Fuck Them Up. And Maybe I Will Even Have Fun Doing Them! at least two of the essays are Extremely Sexy (one is on the supernatural in lucan and another is on geography in the aeneid but i’m gonna make it about mimesis) and bcs of how the online exams are gonna work i can and WILL subject my fave lecturer to a translation In Dactylic Hexameter. sucks that the thing im most hyped about is exams though :/ maybe i should finally learn to unicycle

5. post a selfie! (if you’re comfortable with that).

it is now the season of wearing fun hats and then getting sunburnt anyway

6. last but not least: send this to some mutuals to keep the game going.
