as someone who can have two cups of black tea several hours apart (never even one caffeinated coffee!) and then if i dare to venture any further i’m a jittery dizzy wreck who can’t sleep, i am so curious about how other people’s bodies handle this substance!

#the amount of caffeine all the people around me seem to be able to tolerate …….. staggering! #idk why i turned out so weird. i have a broken thyroid so that might be part of it. #dollsome's deep thoughts #polls

god i love how crowley was like "you only call me for THREE reasons" and then proceeded to list three reasons so broad and all-encompassing that it made me feel like aziraphale probably calls him every day

#i see u #i see u both and ur cute little phone chats!!!!!!! #dollsome's deep thoughts #ineffable husbands #good omens #good omens spoilers

i feel like archie ofmd is getting an inordinate amount of dislike and resentment. (i haven't really seen it around here, but in other spaces online!) i've seen so many posts throughout s2 like, "who is she? she's so random! what is she contributing? why is she here? we know nothing about her except surface level stuff and random backstory details!" but like ... that also describes almost all the men in the crew!!! why CAN'T we have a woman pirate who's got the same kind of chaotic, unburdened-by-backstory vibe? why not, huh??

tl;dr -- i love archie and i'm so glad she joined the crew!

i may have forgotten some because they were too traumatic, but here is my definitive list as i could think of it this morning. oh, how i've suffered! 😢

#polls #i couldn't even decide which reign thing to pick which is why i left that off 🤣 #(my final potential choices were mary/catherine not getting any acknowledgement in the series finale #and greer/castleroy getting a magical HEA and then s4 taking it back) #dollsome's deep thoughts #also the guy/marian one is a pretty ancient throwback #but i cried for like my entire xmas break of '07 over that! like a cool person who's good at picking successful ships! #another underrated but profound tragedy: my bb lavinia swire getting spanish flu'd to death! #anyway. i could go on. #but here are the options! #update: i'm seeing the magicians mentioned a lot #i never watched that and i guess that was a good thing!

this is like the tiniest moment in all of television that i am THRILLED exists, because it’s just so satisfying to see karl clocking gerri’s roman feelings and gerri oblivious to the fact that someone has noticed, and probably even to the fact that she’s doing anything that could be noticed, because she’s so nervous for roman up there trying to give his eulogy in a state of clear distress. gerri! gerri being that off her guard! gerri! and in relation to j. smith cameron’s recent comment about gerri not realizing how attached she was to roman or really comprehending her own feelings for him because she’s not a sentimental person ... aaaaaaah. aaaaahhh!

#these absolute itty bitty moments are so efficient at telling you so much wtf #like this season technically was pretty dang light on romangerri time #especially the last two episodes! #and yet A FEAST came out of all these tiny little crumbs! #never before have i been so nourished by so little #romangerri #roman x gerri #gerri kellman #succession #dollsome's deep thoughts

succession should come back for a surprise christmas special

#i just want to see everyone in holiday sweaters hurling bitter and deranged emotions at each other #(and roman and gerri kiss under the mistletoe 😘) #dollsome's deep thoughts #(then maybe gerri slaps him and storms off smirking and roman gazes in awe after her like dwangela in casino night)

thinking about ed's speech at the end of 2.01 about the impossible bird and never going back to land, and about how in 2.04 the lyrics "listen, lonely seabird, you've been away from land too long" play over stede coming back to find him and them walking off together

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

#and the contrast of stede coming back right away like he said he would vs. ed having to wait for him in 1.09!! #this show is really doing it down to the last emotionally overwhelming detail!!!! #i will shut up about all this in november okay #dollsome's deep thoughts #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers

me: i live for fanfic comments. they are all that sustains me. they are my life's very blood.

also me: [the actual worst person on earth at replying to said cherished comments in a timely fashion, rolling up into people's ao3 inboxes like five months to two years after the fact to say thanks for reading]

#god i need to get my ao3 life together!!!!!!!!!!! #dollsome's deep thoughts #just know that i am obsessed with your comment even if i never reply to it; that's just my incurable hot mess brain acting up

downton abbey: what if the aristocrats ... were nice

the gilded age: what if the robber barons ... were nice

me (through tears, an idiot): oh my god what if they were nice

#god damn it jfells #i know they weren't nice IRL i'm keeping my wits about me that much #dollsome's deep thoughts #the gilded age #downton abbey #someone save me from my george russell feelios

the way rory kinnear says "eyeEEEE" in the ofmd pilot needed every acting award known to man immediately thrown at it

#rory kinnear is such an absolute freak in all his acting choices and i'm obsessed with him #i don't know anything about him as a person but as an actor ............ wow man. #dollsome's deep thoughts #our flag means death #always daydreaming they might find a badminton triplet or identical cousin in season 3

i think the reason i feel so offended by biopics about female writers that are all "this exact romantic situation happened to her, and then she simply wrote it down on some paper!" is that they completely disrespect our ability to simply hallucinate a random situation for fun and then become obsessed with it

#i don't mean to compare myself to the greats but like ...... i've written a lot of pages #and never once was i motivated by just jotting down what literally happened to me and changing the names! #obviously a lot of your life still winds up in there because that's just what your brain has as a frame of reference #but like ............ c'mon. #ladies can make stuff up too actually #dollsome's deep thoughts

in addition to just being a smashing good time, knives out: glass onion gave me the christmas gift of my dreams, aka imagining third movie scenarios where benoit blanc and his love hugh grant aka philip are on holiday together in some exotic locale and then BAM! UNEXPECTED MURDER CASE!: hubby tags along edition 

simply thinking upon it will sustain my spirit forever

#just imagining the possibilities is simply an overwhelming delight #can any of us even really begin to fathom the banter potential #dollsome's deep thoughts #knives out: glass onion #glass onion #knives out spoilers #glass onion spoilers #as soon as you heard his voice the first time i screamed 'HUGH GRANT!' and everyone around me was like '.........'

also, i wonder if kieran culkin’s famous disagreement with jesse armstrong re: roman’s last scene was that jesse armstrong was like “roman has gone back to being a nasty funny playboy. the last few years were but a blip. that’s what this final scene shows,” whereas i’d say the final scene to me communicates a distinct sense of: “roman is out, roman is free, roman loves gerri.”

#like i just don't see how that scene suggests empty-hearted playboy at all?????? #he's having a (his beloved's) drink after a long and exhausting and horrible day in a long and exhausting and horrible fortnight????? #anyway. that's just me. #dollsome's deep thoughts #romangerri #roman x gerri #succession spoilers #succession

kindle: give us $1.99 for this public domain ebook!

me: *moseys on over to my best friend gutenberg.org*

#remember when classics were free on the kindle store? #aka the whole reason i got a kindle in 2012????? #god it's so annoying to watch the 'anything we CAN charge for we WILL charge for' epiphany happen in real time w/ the internet #dollsome's deep thoughts

thinking about how crowley and aziraphale had their angel/demon relationship foils in beelzebub and gabriel and their human relationship foils in maggie and nina because they themselves are somewhere in the middle after all their time on earth together :')
