the eye has three children. an oldest daughter who would do anything to make it happy. a middle child who feels isolated from the rest of the family, even resenting and actively rebelling against them. and a youngest child; the favourite, though they never even wanted to be.

Watching Call the Midwife on your periods is a whole new experience... I am crying so much my cat's come to sit on me. And she hasn't done that in months omg.
I want to write about each character, I love all of them :') 🦋
(if anything happens to Sister Monica Joan I will riot; a piece of me will wither away.)

Call The Midwife
BBC One and BBC iPlayer
Call The Midwife’s 2023 Christmas Special begins two weeks before Christmas, with Apollo 8 poised to circle the moon.
Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) is convinced this could be her final Yuletide and decides she’ll not live to see man walk on the moon. The Nonnatus Family, including Trixie’s (Helen George) brother Geoffrey (Christopher Harper), decide something must be done to try and lighten her state of mind. Nancy (Megan Cusack) has recommitted to staying at Nonnatus House and Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) has offered her and Colette (Francesca Fullilove) a room for the foreseeable future. Trixie and Matthew (Olly Rix), fresh from their honeymoon, are preparing their first Christmas together as husband and wife when Geoffrey pays them an unexpected visit days before Christmas. Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) gently intervenes when he discovers a lost soul living alone in a dilapidated basement flat. For this man, Christmas is a reminder of all he’s lost and all he’s never had. Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett), away on her refresher course, makes it home in time for Christmas festivities despite a treacherously heavy snowfall.
Call The Midwife (1x90) is a Neal Street Productions for BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Executive producers for Neal Street Productions are Pippa Harris, Heidi Thomas and Ann Tricklebank, with Gaynor Holmes for the BBC.

📽️ Set It Up (2018)
This is such a fun movie. The chemistry between the two main characters is fantastic, and they’re both so much fun. I love an enemies-to-lovers plot (this is sort of one), and this had the added element of growing closer while working together. It’s not a movie to be taken too seriously; it’s supposed to just be fun. It’s very easy to enjoy.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (no real nudity or sex scenes, but there is a LOT of sexual talk and innuendoes)
Language: 6/10 (two f-words, three c-words, many uses of sh*t, other words scattered throughout)
Violence: 0/10 (I don’t believe there is any)
Overall rating: 7/10

I just read the "When Marnie Was There" Book and holy shit let me tell you, the book is better. I did like the movie but like almost everyone else i hated that ending. It did not make sense there was not even the slightest foreshadowing but the book does it better, To me the ending in the movie felt so out of nowhere it felt like a whole jumpscare but in the book you can very much tell it was foreshadowed a couple of times especially in the "Mushrooms and Secrets" chapter. It made sense and the way they handled the reveal was also better, the charachter depths too. I am obsessed with the book. Even though this post won't get alot of views i might make a post about the Movie vs The Book.

so interested in young gertrude robinson tbh. like just imagine.
it's the 1970's. you're a single woman with no family or friends, and no desire for any, either. somehow, you know about ancient fear gods almost no one else knows about, and you've decided it's up to you to stop them from crossing over into this world. so you start working as an archivist for a god you don't worship, for a man you neither trust nor respect, among co-workers you neither like nor value. in your heart, you know you wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice any one of them to complete your goal. because in your mind, you're saving the world. you're on a mission.
you'll always be on a mission.
