I don't know a lot about Dacre's personal life and that's okay. I'm not privy to that kind of information, but he's also opened up quite a bit about his struggles with mental health and that part is really important to me especially given we have similar mental illnesses that are heavily misunderstood and stigmatized. I don't think a lot of people realize he's mentally ill or that his brain just doesn't work like a neurotypical person's does, but they sure do notice that he's different and sometimes people mistreat him because of that. That really infuriates me, but he is very kind and compassionate regardless and I do love that about him.
This interview is a shear joy to watch! Michael Sheen really is a gem of a human being, everyone in the room had such a lovely time. I want more interviews like this.
My husband watch very little anime. Like JJK and Hunter Hunter are about it. However, he just listened to me go on an info dump about Fairy Tail and my undying love of this show for about 30 minutes. He will never watch it, I know this. He has next to no interest in it at all. But he still just let me ramble on. Anyway, he’s a good egg and I love him very much ♡
if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.
but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?
what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.
and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.
you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.
so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.
it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.
sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.
oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.
Michael: There are what people like to call Easter Eggs hidden around in most scenes.
David: Yes.
Michael: And one of the things that I take a lot of enjoyment out of is seeing if David can pick up on what they are in any particular given scene. And I'll say to him, 'So in this café, there is a very obvious reference to... whatever.'
David: You should remember I have contact lenses and sunglasses on, I can't... I see very little.
