So Al post always have to make sure she the centre of attention on Ms big night which doesn't come as a shock in that photo michael look tense and stiff and where the smile it exactly same as the other he pulls when he with her georgia one on seems more general and supportive of her friend and husband best friend then his actual parter

Would love to hear ur thoughts on this one

Hi there! Well, my DMs have been blowing up all afternoon about these various posts, and...yeah. A lot to unpack here, for sure.

It's interesting to see the use of two very different pictures here--one posed, one a candid pic/selfie--and how that frames everything else that is going on, and highlights several contrasts that are much too great to ignore. Perhaps the most significant contrast is that in the posed photo, Michael and AL are barely touching, and the photographer seems to have made the choice not to pose them like a couple. There is also no apparent "pull" that is unconsciously bringing them together, in spite of whatever direction they might've been given. In the picture of Michael and David, however, not only are they sitting very close together, but that "pull" is readily visible, and you can see them leaning/melting into each other without any effort. So that by itself on a foundational, fundamental level puts these pictures into two very different places.

The second aspect of the contrast--again, in my opinion--is the impersonal nature of Anna's post vs. Georgia's. Anna is posting a Getty Images picture with a watermark with another generic "Darling" caption (the same as she did in another post when the first episode of The Way aired a few weeks ago). At this point it feels, as @invisibleicewands previously described, akin to a "Best regards" at the end of an e-mail. And again, it's not only a photo shoot pic instead of a personal one--an especially strange choice given that Michael has repeatedly talked about how much he hates photo shoots--but a shot where Michael looks stiff and so uncharacteristically subdued.

In the picture Georgia posted, we see that twinkle in his eye, how relaxed he looks, full of that life and joy that we've come to so strongly associate with Michael, and it makes it even more stark how absent that is from the second picture. And further adding to all of this is what you mentioned, about AL centering herself/how she and Michael look in this post, as opposed to the opening of the play.

If we had any doubts about this, Anna seems to have taken the point home this with the story she posted immediately following this one:

For those who may not know, this is a photo from the show Schitt's Creek, of the actors who play the main family (special shout-out to Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy, my loves). I have not actually seen the show, so I can't attest to anything specific about the characters' personalities, but it appears this is who AL thinks she and Michael look like. I would say, though, that what is apparent to me is that Anna's priority in posting that first Insta story was the aesthetic/the picture, rather than celebrating Michael or the opening night of the play. Putting these two things together, Michael almost seems like the smallest part of the post, which is an odd thing to do when tonight is the opening night of his play.

And this again wildly contrasts with Georgia's post, where the picture is merely a vehicle for something much deeper, and much more meaningful. Just the positioning of the word "Michael" at the center of the picture is a visual cue that lets us know what this post is about, and this is further augmented by the caption for all of the reasons I enumerated here. I also can't help thinking that there was a reason that a picture of Michael and David was used--not a picture of Michael by himself, and not a picture of Michael and Georgia--and given that this Insta story was posted after AL's, it makes me wonder if that was a deliberate choice, for multiple reasons...

So yes, those are my thoughts on these two Insta stories/pictures from today. I'm definitely interested to see what posts or pictures we might get following tonight's performance/press night (and fingers crossed that David actually made it to the show this time). Also glad as always to hear from my followers about your take on these posts. Thanks for writing in! x

Today, we celebrate Make a Difference Day!

Check out our inspiring Ocean Guardian students engaging in hands-on environmental stewardship projects-

NOAA Ocean Guardian Schools strive to protect and conserve their local watersheds, national marine sanctuaries, and the ocean. Under the program, PreK–12 schools propose and implement a school- or community-based stewardship project, spanning five program pathways: Watershed Restoration, School Garden/Habitat, Energy and Ocean Health, Marine Debris, and 6Rs (Rethink/Reduce/Refuse/Reuse/Recycle/Rot).

Does your school want to make a difference and help protect the ocean and environment for future generations? The 2024–2025 Ocean Guardian School application will be available to download from our website by April 1, 2024. Stay tuned for more updates!

Wild that anytime I post an update a lot of people read it and are even excited about it and have their own thoughts and reactions to it that I'll never know.

Comments are only the very tip of the iceberg with it. And I am Very grateful to commenters for letting me in on it. But in the same way that I'll be excited with my friends when a fic we love updates, it's likely that Other people enthuse with Their friends when my fic updates. And it's just so strange. An experience I'll never have access to.

Everyone's relationship with my fic is unique. So many different people with so many different circumstances and preferences... and the number of people that have told me that my fic is one of their favorites, some even saying it's their Favorite favorite... every single one of them have their own relationship with my writing.

It's just interesting to me. I think and think and think on my writing. I have my plans for basically the entire fic, the way I want it to end already thought out, all the major plot beats and the relationship progressions, All of that thought out. I love my writing so very much, but I'm on the inside looking out. This is my mechanical horse, and I'm in here laying out the groundwork and pulling levers and constructing limbs, puttering away making the horse move. Forever and always, my relationship with it will be more intimate than anyone's, and yet more clinical. Because I know it better than the back of my own hand, but I'll never have the experience of reading it fresh. Of reading it without knowing everything that's going to happen from now to the end and beyond. I won't have the thrill of the plot twists I have planned, the delight at seeing things progress, the horror at seeing things go wrong...

This is my mechanical horse, and I'm making it move.

I just always wonder what it must be like to see it from the outside. I hope to others that it's a pretty horse.

#speculation nation #itnl shit #didnt mean to write this much about the concept but i really am so... #jealous almost. id love to be able to read my fic as a reader. #because it's tailor made to my tastes Exactly. #and i know it's good writing. i surprise myself even sometimes with how good things end up. #it's never a doubt in my mind that i'll make things good. even the harder things . while bringing trepitation . i know i'll figure them out. #the relationship a fic writer has with their own fic is so... yeah. intimate. but still somehow emotionally removed. #but thats how it goes with any art piece i think #the creator sees all the bits and pieces that went into it. remembers the thoughts as they made it #they know their work better than Anyone Else. but they'll never be able to experience it like an outsider. #is my fic helping someone through a rough breakup? is it something someone rereads when theyre sad? #is it a fic that people stay up way too late reading? the fic that someone discovers and consumes all within a day? #that voracious love. ive experienced it many times with other fics. but i can never experience it with my own. #but in the end. that's okay. i will just continue to do as i wish with it. and maybe people will continue to like it. #it is my goal to make a fic that people will never forget. what that may mean differs depending on the person. #i want it to be the best fic it can be. and i will make it so with every brick i lay down. #puttering about for days and weeks and months. it's Most of what i think about. it's my impact on the world. #and it's sitting for 3 hours after work in the storage room writing until im shivering but Satisfied with a productive writing session #it's writing some of my most emotional scenes while sitting for an hour on the toilet #no one else knows what the toilet written scenes are. but I Do. such is my relationship with my fic. #(the focus in the Quiet Rooms cannot be underestimated. the bathroom is indeed one of the Quiet Rooms lol) #& man. ive rambled so much now. but i just love my fic so very much #i'll never be an ITNL reader. and that's okay. because i'm its writer. & that's a status that No One Else can boast. #even those people who state that it's their Favorite favorite cant rival the intimacy of my own relationship with it. #I Am Its Writer and that means so very much to me. #i... really do love my fic y'all

Good fucking riddance to this job. I can't believe the amount of disrespect I've been conditioned to just put up with.

#aside from everything that happened before #I had a TON of work dumped on me overnight and my managers and the person who took over this account were fucking useless when I wanted hel #I had to reach out to one of my work friends who thankfully decided to help me out because she's awesome #everyone is also treating me pretty coldly considering that it's LITERALLY MY LAST DAY AND THEY PROBABLY WON'T SEE ME AGAIN #my friend who's in a different department who's also leaving is being treated way more kindly #the only people who seem sad about me leaving are a few of my work friends #and the national account managers who I worked very closely with #the NAMs actually DID make me feel like I'll be missed and that I was a valued worker #with everyone else it's like I'm barely here #unless they want something from me #like sorry it's just really hard NOT to feel bitter and hurt over this when I already have a lot of trauma from being excluded #whatever I should be happy they're making it easier for me to leave #personal

suzaki ryo and amagai kohei are like you were my friend as a child and we have this bond between each other because we ran together and the same grass stained our knees on the same afternoon and your family saved mine from ruin so i owe you a life debt. and we exchange cans of juice because it’s easier than saying words but eventually those unspoken promises disappear and our knees aren’t knobbly and bruised anymore and split lips are because of fists and not tumbles and then a can is just a can. and we grew up together but i don’t recognize you anymore but i still owe you because you saved me and you are my reason to keep going because that promise is something i’ve clung onto for so long that there’s no real suzaki ryo without it because i’ve thrown my life away fighting to protect you. but a can is still just a can and we haven’t laughed together since we were ten and stupid and you’re inches from having the sun in the palms of your hands but the sky has never felt farther. 

#suzaki ryo #amagai kohei #suzaama #i wont lie to you suzaama nation i am having a bad time #a field day if you will #unhealthily attached to these guys #they are so special to me i can not explain #something or other about self imposed damnation and also codependency built on making each other worse #me personally i think suzaki and amagai enable each other in different ways #suzaki not as visible #but i will get into that tomorrow maybe #hilo #high&low #high&low the worst x #also the view from the top line makes me suicidal #okay im done #high & low the worst x

everyone here was soooo excited because a national channel was going to bring back this iconic tv series, directed specifically to the youth, from our childhood and adolescence that we are so nostalgic about after 11 years for them to disappoint us all with the trailer because it looks like elite 2.0

#they ruined morangos com açúcar i dont think you guys understand #this was supposed to be a cliché show with bad acting about students and dramas at school not a fucking disappearing mystery show #with parties and sex and whatnot 😭 #they're making it release in 10 episode seasons like streaming shows too.... that's not morangos!!!!! anfngngnbg #the vibe is so different that it actually makes no sense why they would try to tie it with the other seasons plot and actors shsjshs #yes morangos had your occasional topics of teenage pregnancy and queerness and all that jazz but it was actually explored well #the way they're making girls kiss and parties happening and everything of those sorts in the new season is literally like any of those #spanish teenage shows with too much sex scenes and it's embarrassing actually. #the essence of our national tv is getting lost because they want to do stuff that 'sells' except morangos never sold because it was trendy #or even good because the acting was honestly not great. it was literally our company and part of our routine all year around almost #it was the show we would arrive from school to watch before dinner every day #we watched them experience the school year at the same time we did and on holidays there was a special summer edition #it was a whole thing that this new version isn't. #it was a novela directed for the youth and not whatever show they're trying to make and i'm so mad #i actually wanted to see it. morangos was special to so many of us everybody knows the songs everybody loves the artists that came from #that generation we all grew up watching it.... literally. #and capitalism strikes again 👍 #the auditions were a joke too. they announced auditions for anyone who would like to because another thing about morangos is that it was #a talent factory it gave opportunity to newbie actors and pushed their careers and the new season has a bunch of already renown actors and #actresses and they didn't even care to hide how fake and rigged the public auditons were lol #anyways never building expectations about anything ever again this actually broke my heart man agjshs #i'm gonna mourn this listening to d'zrt 4taste and just girls ✊

losing my mind at eleven pm last night trying to scour the internet to figure out the route a guy living in talgarth wales would take to get to london victoria if he were to travel via national express coach in the year of 1979. the things i do for him

#its important to me he travels by national express coach sorry. they're like brothers to me #i was searching for like half an hour for one throwaway line that makes genuinely zero difference in the grand scheme of things. currently #have him travelling from talgarth to cardiff and then cardiff to london vic which feels like in practice it would be horrendously #inefficient but i found no other route and i am a poor map reader so frankly if i were him its probably what id do. also i was tired :-( #the things writing will force you to research. spent twenty minutes the other day trying to find out popular affordable brands of bar soap #in britain 1970s. its a labour of love #writing tag #'why doesnt he apparate' because my baby girl gets travel sick it will make him ill. that is like a whole plot point just trust me

#no wait listen to me. listen to me #im south asian. my grandparents were muslim. my great aunt and uncle and their children and my parents siblings are all muslim #my parents aren't. they raised us without any religion. without even our national cultural ceremonies tied to islam #dont let yourself believe for a fucking second that has nothing to do 9/11 happening two years before i was born. two years before we moved #im south asian. my dad's first name is mohammed. when we catch a flight we get to the airport two hours earlier- #to account for the time it'll take my dad to be 'routinely stopped and searched' by airport security #routinely is right lmfao. it happens every time we fly #last time i was on an american airlines flight our checked luggage ended up across the continent and took two days to get to us #(my 12yo cousin gifted us an alarm clock that made an ominous ticking noise and we couldn't shut it the fuck up- #the luggage was labeled mohammed and coming from south asia. my sibling jokes it's a wonder we got it back) #im canadian. i cried my ass off to cfa tonight bc of how touching the story of a small town coming together to help a group of strangers is #(can't help thinking that never would've happened in a bigger city? but thereby lies another tale) #and god normally i hate 9/11 stories bc it feels like two sides of my identity being pitted against each other and it makes me so uncomfy #like as a canadian i should be sympathetic towards the states and at the same time im viscerally aware of the lasting prejudiced impacts #but cfa did it so beautifully #will never get over the 'thorough search' scene. 'you will never understand'. #the lump in my throat i get every time I watch my normally distinguished and tough and coolheaded father be pushed through airport security #how resigned he is to it. how he tries to stay dignified. how scared my mom gets every time. how rough they are with him #when he usually commands respect #and yet also the pride and the lump in my throat i got today knowing it was a little canadian town that made a difference #sigh enough out of me i just have a lot of feelings #come from away #team screams

had a nice long cry over the fact that the tour I've been waiting to go to with my best swiftie friend for four years is no longer selling any tickets. almost puked a few times in the process. now I'm gonna spend the money I would've spent on concert tickets ordering delivery for chicken tenders instead.

#i turned off every twitter notification except for taylor‚ taylor nation‚ ticketmaster‚ and tom hiddleston #ive contacted the DOJ and signed a govt petition about TM's unfair business practices/its monopoly on the industry #and i plan to email my representatives over the next few days to urge the doj into investigating them #but i dont expect it to do any good. a judge ruled in their favor in the 90s and they'll do the same in the 2020s #i can't return all the rhinestones i bought on etsy for my Bejeweled costume for tour but ill return the corset i was gonna use... #... and the things i got from Michaels on Saturday. ill keep the shorts i was gonna use to make her The Lucky One outfit tho #maybe ill finally get to make and wear it when im 40 #i guess I didn't have to pick up all those extra ahifts after all :/ #im just waiting for Taylor Swift (or even her management team) to acknowledge this. I don't have high hopes that they will. #I'd like for her to add more shows but idk if i see that happening. she's already got 52 and she hasn't even announced international ones #idek if i want more shows because if i sit in the TM queue for four and a half hours and leave empty-handed again idk what id do #I really dont want to go to school tomorrow. idk how im supposed to study for my test like this #if id known when i was seven what i knew now maybe i would have picked a different favorite artist

On my way to the funeral. I did finish writing the thing. It'll be like 10 minutes of speaking. I barely got the time to practice it.

I kind of feel like I'm going to be sick.

#speculation nation #negative/ #two hours of socializing ahead of me. how wonderful. #im probably going to try to find times to squirrel myself away to go over my thing. #brought the journal with me. it has a front folder. the letter i wrote to my dad when i was 16 is in there. #i dont know if that makes much difference. it makes a difference to me. #none of them need to know about it. #im supposed to go up there and share my grief so openly #i focused more on the lessons ive learned after all of this. #they dont get to know about when i was crying over his jackets. when i was crying over a pic of him in a minions hat. #i dont know. i just want this day to be over.
