Let's talk about brita filters.

There's an old college trick that goes something like "pass cheap vodka (eg smirnoff) through a brita filter a bunch and it makes it more drinkable"

I had a brita lying around so I decided to try it.

Basically, it tastes exactly like watered down Everclear. We compared Smirnoff (unfiltered) to Grey Goose (also unfiltered) and it tastes more?? Chemical? Not sure how to describe it but the Smirnoff had an acrid taste above and beyond the simple flavor of ethanol.

Filtering the vodka 10x removed the acrid taste (yay) but it also removed all of the spice and complexity I associated with vodka. It ended up vaguely boozy/sweet with little flavor. Tastes nothing like top shelf or even midtier vodka. I mixed it into an espresso martini and it just completely disappeared.

End review: yeah it makes it more drinkable, I guess. Kinda disappointing tbh though.

Currently thinking about 18/19 year old Toph getting thrown in some random podunk fire nation town’s one-cell jail and being like “hey I’m broke as hell but I’ve got a friend who can bail me out can I make a call” and then 2 hours later Fire Lord Zuko himself slams open the door yelling “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS TIME YOU SHIT”

#atla #toph #zuko #toph ALWAYS calls Zuko #never Katara because Katara will leave her ass in prison #not Sokka because he'll cave to Katara's glare and also leave her #sometimes Aang but he's no fun because he always goes Disappointed Avatar Mode #Suki's a good option but she's not usually able to get there quickly #meanwhile Zuko is on a potent cocktail of terrified and fond and will deny Toph absolutely nothing #but what he will do is LOUDLY COMPLAIN ABOUT IT and Toph can respect that #also Toph bums around the Imperial Palace constantly #Zuko: Toph you've been here for a month. get out #Toph: No #Zuko: ...fair enough have a nice day

(seeing so many bad faith interpretations of the argument, y'all are really going to make me do this, okay HERE WE GO)

.................................

What Ed says: "I think last night was a mistake. I'm not ready for... Whatever this is."

What Ed means: "I didn't want last night to happen so soon or under those circumstances. Things are changing rapidly, which makes me feel out of control and scared."

What Stede hears: "I regret sleeping with you. I don't want the sort of relationship that you're after."

.................................

What Stede says: "It was a fine fish. It was... whatever. I was just trying to make you feel good!"

What Stede means: "I only cared about the fish because you cared about it, and I care about you. I liked the fish because it made you happy. Ordinarily, I'm ambivalent about fish."

What Ed hears: "I lied to you. I didn't care about your achievement I was just placating you to get what I wanted."

.................................

What Ed says: "Here's the news: I'm leaving. I got a job on a little fishing boat and I'm leaving. I'm a fisherman now."

What Ed means: "I think I need to be away from you to figure out who I am, because I haven't been able to do that while we're together, and your lifestyle now is the life I'm trying to leave behind."

What Stede hears: "I've made a decision to leave you and have a life without you. I don't value what we have enough to work with you to find a solution, I'd prefer to end it."

.................................

What Stede says: "Oh, Ed. Seriously? You're not a fisherman."

What Stede means: "I think you're using this plan to escape and avoid your problems. It sounds like you're pretending to be someone else. It seems to me like an impulsive decision and I am concerned."

What Ed hears: "I don't support this ambition. I think you're incapable. I don't think you can be different from what you have always been."

.................................

This is the kind of analysis done in therapeutic environments. When I put what they mean, it's not just a rephrasing but a boiling down to the core issue. I could go on to the rest of the dialogue but do you see the continuing ship-in-the-night miscommunication?? It's tripartite:

failing to express one's current emotional reality with the most accurate and clear language, often because that reality is not fully understood to oneself,

misinterpreting the other's language, due to preexisting sensitivities and defensiveness about one's own understanding of the situation,

increasing frustration and sense of personal attack that results from those misinterpretations, which perpetuates and worsens the poor communication.

Importantly, this kind of pattern means you miss the best and most important kernels of communication in an exchange because you're reacting to the more inflammatory parts.

Stede: "This can be whatever we want it to be." (I am willing to make changes to our arrangement so that you're happy). Ed: "I don't even know who I am! Alright? I know I don't want to be a pirate. And you, you're blowing up, you're the toast of the town." (I think we want different things. You're just starting a journey that I've already finished).

With those two bits alone they could've sorted this out. The first is the answer to the second. But they didn't -- couldn't -- latch onto it because all their other baggage was getting in the way.

And I'm being proven correct that this is what is happening, because I have seen next to nothing on here about the above two lines, only reactionary takes of fans also focusing on the inflammatory parts because of their predispositions. You're doing an encore performance of what they're doing.

Point being, there are no bad guys in this scene, just repeated system failure!

Aziraphale’s face after Crowley kisses him makes me feel sick, not exaggerating, not a silly haha hyperbole, it actually makes my stomach churn. He just looks so broken up about it, he’s almost crying. I know that if Crowley had said yes to going to Heaven with him he would have kissed him back but he couldn’t. There’s a look of guilt there and just pure pain, he looks at Crowley in a way that says “please don’t make me feel this, not now” and the worst part is because of how complicated his reaction is, I feel it could be mistaken for one of disgust which disturbs me so much because Crowley may believe that’s how it made him feel. The fact that Aziraphale doesn’t kiss Crowley back but also isn’t the one to pull away and instead briefly holds Crowley during this kiss haunts me so much as well, god.

#me when a scene supposed to portray a cocktail of emotions is written beautifully and acted beautifully 😱 😱#I’m so sick in the head #appologies if this is cringe #good night it’s almost 3am and I’ve been thinking about this non stop since yesterday evening #good omens #good omens spoilers #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #aziraphale #crowley
