It’s amazing how in the last few months, two of the biggest TV shows: ‘House of the Dragon’ (HBO) and ‘The Last of Us’ (HBO); have had three non-binary actors in lead roles. In ‘House of the Dragon’ there’s: Emma D’Arcy who plays the Older Rhaenerya uses they/them pronouns and Emily Carey who played Young Alicent uses she/they pronouns. In ‘The Last of Us’ Bella Ramsey who plays Ellie uses they/them pronouns.

monet de haan; an essay if u will

the way monet could admit to attempted murder and i just could not hate her character. she does terrible things to others but it often comes from a place of feeling like she has to control situations with others to be deserving of their love and attention.

she reminds me so much of blair as i do an og gg rewatch, specifically that one episode in s2 where blair and chuck are making a bet on vanessa and blair chooses to hurt vanessa directly by revealing it rather than admit she liked chuck, and still takes every opportunity afterwards to deny her feelings, making having hurt vanessa the moment she seemed to win over chuck worthless.

blair will disregard jenny the way monet will disregard zoya and they will continue to make the same mistakes, and no matter how malicious they act, the constant plotting and scheming is all they know. “it gives them a sense of purpose,” monet says, but really it also gives monet purpose to rule over others and for once feel like she has the upper hand in a world that otherwise reminds her that due to her race and sexuality, she’s never really fully a part of it.

the same way monet does not need to scheme to get people to love her, but just like blair they both have inattentive, emotionally unavailable mothers they feel pressured to succeed to win the attention of. if they can’t have the motherly heart of the person who equates wealth and emotional distance with unconditional love, why not get that from people who so easily worship them? they have endless reminders that their mothers are the cause of the luxury they get to float in and reap the social benefits of, but also their burden with the high expectations it comes with.

monet would rather make two younger students follow her around and do her bidding, giving her endless “yes” answers than luna, who does accept her and know her behavior by now, have her bring her to reality and remind her of how her mother makes her feel. it’s very lonely at the top, and it doesn’t feel good for monet to “win” if it’s not luna she’s doing it with, power be damned. so it takes a little vulnerability for her be forced to no longer hide behind her minions and have a 1 on 1 personal talk with luna.

luna reminds monet of the person monet currently is that her mother resents, so she wants to detach from that so she doesn’t have to feel just how hard her mother’s words have hit her, making her delve further into status and popularity no matter how taxing.

with julien, jules reminds her of who her mother wants her to be but monet just cannot fulfill and make her proud with, as julien now wants to clean up her image and go to college. monet lets her guard down around her mother, she really does love her but is so unused to the idea that the way she is spoken to is not normal.

so it especially hurts when she finds out that girl she was interested in was faking being a lesbian for clout when no matter her wealth, that there’s always going to be people in her rich lifestyle that disregard her for being a lesbian. including her own mother, who uses that as an excuse to justify her father’s affair which had been hidden from monet.

and that it is clear monet wants to be loved and is aware she has done awful things to others. and that her mother, the moment monet found out abt her parents mistress, was basically told “i’m the reason you even get to be an out and proud black lesbian so therefore it’s ok for me to hide an entire marital relationship your father is having with another woman from you.”

i’m so sorry to go off on what is an unorganized tangent, at the same time gg is not the same w/o blair, ggrb is not the same w/o monet. there would be very little conflict without them.

Here is a rant I wrote

The other day I found this angry rant on my laptop I must have written a few years ago, so here it is. (*It's written as though it was being said on stage in much the way a standup comedian might perform it)

Hello yes hi how are we all?

You’re out! In the real world. Experiencing a real thing. Not watching the coloured box of death. The little metal shouty thing that’s invaded all our lives!

I can’t even watch Television anymore, it’s become too out of touch. It’s insane the things they think we should be watching. You see it with marketing you know, these adverts. Once upon a time, advertisements made sense. They were straight forward, using logical people to sell you useful things. You’d be sitting there covered in fresh blood and a woman with big hair would say, “Get the stains out in 2 hours with minimal scrubbing! Ajax” or whatever. So you’d buy the thing. Because it made sense and you needed it anyway and you didn’t feel tricked.

Now they approach it in a different way. It’s much more aggressive and manipulative. You have a woman doing the dishes and then the husband comes home from work or school or wherever they go and he says, “Beverly I don’t love you anymore.” And she turns, this image of Mary Berry in a polka dot dress and says, “I’m sleeping with your father. Hahahaha.” And shoots him in the head. And then it goes, “Ajax, because you deserve better” or something like that and it feels a little… detached from reality. They stopped selling us products and started selling us these dreams of what they think we want. I remember when cooking shows made sense. A woman would come out and show you how to set the timer on your microwave so the chicken didn’t dry out too much or come alive or something. Now they’ve fetishized the baked beans to such an extent that kids turn to their parents at dinner time and say, “Is it fried in truffle oil? No? Then I’m not having it. Would you at least making a fucking effort Mother.”

And all this fetishized nonsense has pushed the price up. I remember when you didn’t need a second mortgage just to afford a bag of onions. I remember when I could by onions and tomatoes in the same month. And they didn’t have to be organic! You used to be able to choose. You could choose between buying organic or not starving, and it was a decision we all got to make each week.

Then there’s these home living shows, do you ever try to watch these? The young couple who had a significant family member die, inherited a few million and decided to convert an abandoned petrol station into a 2 bedroom bungalow with a chocolate swimming pool and walk in freezer. Again, we fetishized houses so the market went crazy and now you have to be a lawyer-prostitute to afford one.

So what do they do to help us deal with the disappointment? Drugs! “Do you ever get thirsty?” a man in a white coat who looks vaguely like the eldest child from Home Improvement asks. Looking up from your jug of rum you say, “Yes! Yes I do.”

Well you might have OLDD or Oral Liquid Digesting Dysfunction.

Shit, you think, what can I do about it?

Next comes a lovely image of a man taking his shoes off at the beach and the voice over goes, “For just the price of a small corvette each year, we can help you feel like this guy with sand between his toes.” And your drunken self struggles with this notion. But meanwhile you’re already signing up to a 12 year subscription and purchasing the loose-your-pills insurance plan at the same time.

So this idea of tv aspirations just isn’t sustainable. You can’t be gods like the presenters you watch. You can never purchase enough shit to be king. And if you try and set your aspirations where they want you to, you’ll end up a withered corpse gripping a box of golden cornflakes in a public bathroom being eaten alive by wolves.

Thank you very much.

Been seeing a bunch of posts about House, MD, so I’ve been rewatching it. Haven’t seen it since it aired and am having fun with it.

But it bugs me because the theme song is different. It’s not “Teardrop,” it’s a series of soundalikes. Probably because they couldn’t get the rights to the song for streaming. It’s a small thing, but it makes it an ever so slightly different show.

It’s like a mini version of what’s going on the Daria dvd release. It’s still a fantastic show, but the persistent use of MTV’s music library gave it something that’s missing from the released version. It’s just not quite the show I remember.

I dunno.

RECOMMENDING PERIOD DRAMAS - PART 1 - TELEVISION

For reference - A period piece should be set against a clear backdrop in the past. It should also embrace that era and take inspiration from its fashion, aesthetics and culture. It could be something set in the 1754 or 1979. This is just a rough guideline to period pieces and some of them do boast realistic elements. There's hopefully something here for everyone.

Note - Not all of these are going to be family shows.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL (2020 ONGOING) - Comforting slice of life - Underrated - Wholesome character interactions and arcs - Animals are everywhere but the humans are chaotic and imperfect - Music is quaint and peaceful - Stirs up emotions - Based on novels (about the author's own experiences) EDIT - PROBABLE - VERY LIKELY SLOWBURN - IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW - THEY ARE ENDGAME

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1995) - Takes time with the story and its events - The aesthetic is admirable - The relationships between the sisters (heartwarming) - A necessary look into the era conflicts of marriage and finding a partner - A feel good classic that must be protected at all costs

EDIT T- THAT ONE SCENE - IN THE LAKE/POND

NORTH AND SOUTH (2004) - Unexplored aspects of history - Austinian influences - The romance takes time - Conflict both interpersonal and external - Idealism and reality (questioned and challenged) - You will cry

EDIT - THE TRAINSTATION - NO C0NTEXT THAT IS IT

DOWNTON ABBEY (2010) - Spans through the years - Interesting look at class, status and the upstairs downstairs relationships - The soundtrack and the sets and the locations (breathtaking) - Change and the need for it - Don't have attachments to characters

BRIDGERTON (2020 ONGOING) - The importance of bonds - Finding yourself - Falling in love and finding out the vulnerabilities within you - questions duty, affection, marriage - Brotherly relationships and sisterly relationships that are fulfilling and chaotic - The one is someone you never expected, but it is someone you grew to know along the way

STRANGER THINGS (2016 ONGOING) - The not so distant past - The full on embracing of the 80s aesthetic - Characters arcs that are still evolving - An indie style season one - The soundtrack of nostalgia - Don't have affection for characters - Supernatural elements based on folklore and Dungeons and Dragons

ANNE WITH AN E (2017) - Wholesome - Inspiring - Innovative but honors core themes and values expressed in the original text - Uplifting - A ray of sunshine - Slow burn to beat all slow burns - Established found family - Uplifting and thought provoking - Addresses issues pertaining to youth, class, race, sexuality and gender

OUTLANDER (2014 ONGOING) - Time travel - Return to a home that is unfamiliar - Back and forth - Twists and turns - Healing and acceptance - Moving on and adapting - Heavenly soundtrack - Love and its turbulence and aftermath - Extensive list of characters and motives - Spans through the decades

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT (2020) - Themes of decline and fame - Stardom and achievements - Symbolically relevant fashion - The ups and downs of a life under the spotlight - following the years of a child prodigy (from the rise to the limbo to everything in between) - Highlights character evolution through artistic choices

THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES (1984)

Mostly episodic - One of the best incarnations of the titular character - Comedy, suspense and chaos ensues but there is something for everyone - captures the period of television pretty well - There is the mystery and then there is their own history (the misadventures and banter) - Jeremy Brett truly captured the essence of the man and the mind

GENTLEMAN JACK (2019) - Based on true accounts - An LGBT period piece - Costumes that enhance characters and their ambitions - Romance complements the characters but there is urgency beyond that - The absurd styles and aesthetics of the era are embraced

THE GREAT AND DICKINSON (2020 ONGOING) (2019) - Similar sense of humor - Modernism meets the past - Based on lives of two extraordinary women - The costumes and the set designs are phenomenal and they capture the essence and feel of the shows - Wit and humor - Truth meets fictions

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH (2022 ONGOING) - One of the best depictions of found family - Truth meets fiction - A comedy that will move you to tears - Canon Queer relationships - Pirates - Using the comedy to direct attention to societal issues and internal conflicts and trauma - Tears will come

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

POLDARK - About change - Embracing thing and finding new things in life - Return to home that isn't a home - Growing past animosities and finding a piece of youself

MAD MEN - The antihero characters - Moral complexities - the 60s and the world of business and the people who climbed the ranks and the people who lost their ranks - Incredible use of costumes (to express the change of era - and growth of characters)
