re: my last post. It’s like Dex in Blue Walls lol

#I had a TRUE sense of who he was #but my execution wasn’t great #and it was the generosity of my readers who really did the heavy lifting! #if I rewrote it at some point I could do it better I think #But I would have to do more work #especially as such a feminine author #I do not have anything close to the Austen vision and experience to be able to write men as if I know them from the inside #because I don’t! #anyway cate don’t read my posts but if you do just know your boyfriend is the Gilbert blythe you were looking for all along

but truly, is there anything more romantic than “been here all along”?

#Taylor Swift was RIGHT in you belong with me!!! #Gilbert Blythe is ROMANTIC #Gabriel Oak is ROMANTIC #Leo Fitz is ROMANTIC #maybe it’s just because I’m a cradle Catholic and the sense in which God is an eternal surprise is kind of more foreign to me #than the sense in which He’s the Love that’s been there since the start #perhaps #in which cate tells stories

★ people with taurus rising or prominent taurus in their chart tend to have eyes that are more far apart, their cheeks are usually fuller, and smiles are wide with nicely shaped lips

serena williams (taurus rising); brendan fraser (taurus moon/rising); gigi hadid (taurus sun/mercury/rising)

janet jackson (taurus sun/mercury/mars); sam smith (taurus sun/mercury/venus); dionne warwick (taurus moon/ rising/jupiter/saturn/uranus)

★ scorpio rising men eyebrows are just low straight thick line above their deep set eyes, they out there looking like -_-. they also have long eyelashes, and their eyes tend drop on the outer corners. this whole thing kinda creates the illusion of their eyes always being hidden in shadows.

hrithik roshan (scorpio rising/pluto in 11h); chris evans (scorpio rising/pluto in 11h); kid cudi (scorpio rising/pluto in 12h); jim carrey (scorpio rising/pluto in 10h)

★ cancer sun/virgo mars women have the prettiest eyes, just baby deer in the headlights.

ariana grande (cancer sun/virgo mars); saweetie (cancer sun/virgo mars); phoebe cates (cancer sun/virgo mars); lady london (cancer sun/virgo mars). — also both ariana and saweetie have taurus venus, and phoebe has taurus moon)

★ leo sun men with cancer placements in their chart tend to have cleft chins

ben barnes (leo sun/cancer mars); ben affleck (leo sun/cancer ascendant/venus); matt leblanc (leo sun/cancer ascendant); 

cameron monaghan (leo sun/cancer venus); sebastian stan (leo sun/cancer venus); shawn mendes (leo sun/cancer venus/mars)

★ queens of the bohemian/hippie style are without a doubt mutable suns/heavy mutable energy in personal placements, especially the gemini-sagittarius duo, I mean look at the material

stevie nicks (gemini sun and mercury/virgo mars); sasha obama (gemini sun and mercury/saggitarius mars); florence welch (virgo sun/gemini moon); 

zoe kravitz (saggitarius sun and mercury/virgo moon); mary-kate olsen (gemini sun/virgo moon); erykah badu (pisces sun and moon/saggitarius mars/ascendant)

★ it’s weird but I can always spot scorpio rising women cause of their shoulders, they’re usually bit broader, straight, with nice collarbones, their upper body seems to be triangle shaped cause of their shoulders and wider ribcage

diana ross (scorpio rising/pluto in 9h); lana del rey (scorpio rising/pluto in 12h); lily rose depp (scorpio rising/pluto in 1h)

★ margot robbie and sharon tate both have cancer rising and moon in 3h with jupiter conjunct ascendant

they both have more square shaped head with really short chin, that I’ve noticed in a lot of cancer rising with chart ruler in 3h

carla bruni (cancer rising/moon in 3h); sara gilbert (cancer rising/moon in 3h); fergie (cancer rising/moon in 3h)

Okay, look, I’m going to see “The Whale” on Saturday morning because I try to see all the Oscar-nominated movies prior to the ceremony each year. I love Brendan Fraser. I would see him in anything. But I want to quote Darren Aronofsky in a People magazine article in which he says:

I show you that so that I can introduce some of you to Darlene Cates:

This is Darlene Cates, who played the mom in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” There is a lot to complain about when it comes to that movie. Johnny Depp is in it, so your mileage may vary on seeing *him* in anything anymore, and a very young Leonardo DiCaprio plays a mentally disabled kid, one of the biggest “yikes” in his career. (And his first Oscar nomination because of course the Oscars decided to possibly award that. Thankfully, he was up against Tommy Lee Jones in “The Fugitive” and no one can win against that.)

Anyway, Darlene was not an actress before she was approached to play the role by the author of the book and the writer of the movie, Peter Hedges. He saw her on an episode of “Sally Jessy Raphael” entitled “Too Heavy to Leave the House,” which I imagine was as sensitive as it sounds.

Darlene plays the mom of five kids, four of whom still live at home, half of whom are grown, one of whom is unfortunately Johnny Depp. The kids have conflicting feelings about Mama, whom they all love, but who draws the sort of repeated teasing and harassment you can imagine in a small town when you’ve gained so much weight moving is a struggle and you rarely leave the house.

Despite never having acted before, Darlene is the movie’s warmth. She is loving but not one to put up with bullshit, she worries about her kids (especially Leo’s character), and she will defend those kids even if it means making herself the subject of public view. In retrospect, she should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, but I suppose it’s hard to get that sort of attention from the Academy when Leonardo DiCaprio is also on the screen literally beheading grasshoppers with the mailbox while laughing.

Aronofsky saying, “We couldn’t find the right actor that size for the job,” is bullshit for several reasons - Daniel Franzese from “Mean Girls” is in the same article all, “If you were looking for someone to play a fat gay guy, I am RIGHT HERE” - but … fine. You can’t find the right actor, look for someone with the proper qualifications who’s not an actor. You think you can’t find a fat gay man in THIS country? In America? For real?

“But I have to know they can act first!”

No, you said you need someone who can “pull off the emotions” of being a fat gay man with health issues. Again, you think you can’t find that person in this country? Peter Hedges found Darlene Cates on an insulting talk show. Her performance feels authentic because it IS authentic. All of what she goes through in the movie are things she’d spoken of going through herself. The teasing, the harassment, the shame and anger. All of it.

Unfortunately, Darlene passed away in 2017. But I feel like if she were still here she’d have something to say about all this.

#ableism #fatphobia #Christ that article is frustrating #Fraser also defends the fat suit which … sigh
