I like girls that are just a little bit strange. A bit bizarre, a lil weird, a lil spooky even. Something is slightly off about them and it makes them endearing. Also girls who have just lost the plot.
I think one of the most realistic parts about Baby Reindeer (2024) is how much Donny downplays the abuse he faces
I know everyone wants to hate on him for being “stupid” and blame him for everything that happened because yes from an outsiders perspective he made questionable choices but isn’t that what HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DO?
I know so many people who’ve “played nice” or tried to downplay abusive behavior. You try and tell yourself “It wasn’t that bad”, or that it was just some crazy experience that should be forgotten. It seems so much easier to stay silent and just try to move on.
One day, Eddie’s live streaming in his studio. Steve comes down after a run and drops down on the couch like, “Over-did it today. My legs feel like jello.”
The way the camera is set up, you can only really see Steve’s faded Hawkins High Track and Field t-shirt and his running shorts. And because Eddie hasn’t actually gotten better at not immediately forgetting about his live-streams, you can see him jump up on the couch from his seat on the floor and straddle Steve.
You can see him lean forward and hear him kiss Steve out of frame before he is nudged back, “Ed, I’m sweaty and gross.”
“I like when you’re gross.”
That gets a laugh out of Steve and he says, “Let me take a shower and then, uh, think about joining me upstairs.”
“That’s the first run he’s went on since the death threats,” Eddie points out fifteen minutes after Steve went to take a shower and then abruptly ends his stream like, “Sorry, got to go fuck my husband. Bye.”
ghost and soap adopt a cat but keep putting off finding it a name until them continuing to call it “cat” just sticks. everyone insists they try and find an actual name but they both just claim it’s too late, that’s what’s on the vet’s files now
the same thing happens with cat two, fish (numbered 1 through 6), and dog, and all of their friends hate the two of them for it
(it's not that they can't come up with names, they just... don't)
We were robbed of Eddie seeing Steve with his bat and really fucking some shit up. If he thought what Steve did in the upside down was “metal” he definitely would’ve been foaming at the mouth if he saw him swinging a bat around and he’d loved the nails in it too. Eddie would probably ask Steve if he can hang it up in his room because it looks amazing.
Been chewing on Killers of the Flower Moon since I saw it. I think there wasn’t enough of Lily Gladstone, but I saw a review on letterboxd saying this is Scorsese’s angriest film yet, and I think that’s really true. I think he wants the audience to, if not hate these white men, then at least to be seething with rage at the injustices they inflicted on the Osage people. It was wrong and cruel and every second of the film is there to drive that point home, even parts of Lily Gladstone’s absence. I think it really comes together at the very end with the “what happened next” sequence (which I won’t spoil), but made me weep, it was so affecting. That sequence, after everything you saw, really elevates the film beyond its minor flaws.
hi everyone! the ch10 upload date has been updated to next friday but there’s a very good chance it’ll be up before then! part 1 is very close to being finished but me and thea having very differing weekend schedules (her weekend being mon/tues) means that sometimes editing doesn’t get done as fast as we want it to, so just to give ourselves a little wiggle room and to keep from pushing it back too often :-) thanks for being patient!!
on my deathbed i’ll probably be thinking abt that one tomgreg fic where greg goes to toms office and forgets what he needed to say so they have steamy sex on his desk immediately followed by greg remembering the info which was that toms fired
