This is a friendly reminder that every time Neil Gaiman gives us fictional immortals whose relationships are strong enough to endure for literal centuries despite never being overtly romantic or sexual in nature, and the fandom goes absolutely feral over it, asexuals everywhere become more powerful

no but remember when Marco Alisdair asked Celia Bowen if she remembers all her audiences and she said she only remembers the ones who look at her the way he does and then he asked her what way might that be AND THEN CELIA SAID THE ICONIC "LIKE THEY CAN'T DECIDE IF THEY ARE AFRAID OF ME OR IT THEY WANT TO KISS ME" AND MARCO HAD THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY TO ANSWER WITH "I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU"-

MY THIRD WATCH OF ARCANE AND THE ENDING STILL GIVES ME PALPITATIONS LIKE WTF WHAT HAPPENS?????

i just got out of the cinema seeing this show and I am speechless. this play needs to be seen.

‼️‼️ PRIMA FACIE SPOILERS ‼️‼️

- Jodie is on stage for 1 hour 40 minutes and only has ONE tiny break which is only a couple of minutes long (and this is only because there is a scene where she is rained on and has to get dried and changed) imagine trying to remember THAT much dialogue and in order? She is superhuman.

- The first half of the play is VERY funny. Jodie’s mannerisms and delivery of lines are hilarious. Both nights I was there the crowd were roaring with laughter at times. There is an excellent part where Jodie is stood on the table dancing (yes she does twerk and do the robot).

- Jodie does EVERYTHING herself. Which includes moving all the set props and furniture around to where they need to be for each part. She has to push a massive table around the stage, she takes binder folders in and out of the background set, she moves a light around, has to light candles etc...

- Jodie also gets changed ON STAGE multiple times throughout. For a lot of the show she wears a suit but at one point she changes into an emerald green floor length beautiful dress and also a shocking pink blouse.

- Her character Tessa is from Liverpool which makes me soooooo happy that Jodie was able to use a bit of her own accent, but when Tessa is in court or talking about the legal system, she changes her accent slightly.

- Jodie is all over the place! She jumps on top of the table multiple times, dances on the table, moves everything around herself, walks from one side of the stage to the other, has to hurriedly get changed on stage, always expressive with her arms out and her hands are always busy, it’s 1 hour 40 minutes of cardio for Miss Comer!

- Tessa is unlike any character we have ever seen from Jodie, the way she comes across, the way she carries herself, the way she delivers lines, Tessa is like no other.

- Multiple times Jodie actually cries, this isn’t like during filming for tv or film where you get multiple opportunities to film a shot, she had to cry immediately on cue, and oh boy was it realistic.

- Jodie also speaks for other characters! Once again thrilling us with her ability for different accents.

- The way Jodie commands the stage is truly captivating, the confidence! But when the character drops and she receives a standing ovation and cheers at the end, Jodie comes out and she looks almost shy, it is SO precious. Clasping her hands together, bowing and waving to the crowd.

- The second half of the performance will absolutely break you. There were grown men crying in the foyer afterwards on opening night. If you thought watching The Last Duel hit hard emotionally, just wait until you see Jodie tackling such a sensitive topic right in front of your eyes. You will leave the theatre feeling like you’ve been hit around the face multiple times. I legit couldn’t speak after opening night, it affected me SO much. The power of Jodie’s acting and her ability to make you feel what her character is feeling is incredible.

- There is a very impactful part of the play where Tessa says that she is doing this for all women, and at that moment the lights come up, so ‘Tessa’ can see clearly all of the women in the audience. That choked me up so much.

- The music is absolutely divine and fits SO well with the ambience of the play. Everything is just so perfect and snappy and it will feel like the quickest 1 hour 40 minutes of your life. It’s just SO powerful.

- Jodie WILL make direct eye contact with you and she WILL hold that eye contact for longer than you could ever imagine. She perfectly engages with the audience to draw you in even deeper, as though she is speaking to you, as though you are a part of this story.

All in all I am simply blown away. My breath was taken. My thoughts were all over the place. My immediate reaction was I NEED to see this again. I could watch it a thousand times over and still find new nuances of Jodie’s performance to obsess over. What this woman is doing, what she is achieving and can achieve, is like no other. And I’m not just saying this because I love her so much, I have truly never seen a performance from anyone else like this one. The atmosphere on opening night was ELECTRIC. Everyone knew this was a special moment in time.

Jodie’s light just continues to shine even brighter with no sign of dimming at all. This woman is so special. ❤️

Tbh it's kinda disappointing that there were two workplace sitcoms featuring talented diverse casts and really great writing out at the same time and somehow the beyond radical show about coworkers in a big boxstore that literally ended it's first season with a walk out and a workers strike saying from the very beginning with its whole chest that you should unionize, break the rules to give moms maternity leave, protect undocumented immigrants, and so much more was way less popular on this website than the one about cops

Alright! So now that Moon Knight episode one is out I’d like to talk about it!

So first off! I thought that it was actually incredibly well written and portrayed D.I.D. almost perfectly. It showcased a lot of the issues most of us deal with (the waking up somewhere else, the sleep issues in general, the paranoia, the awkwardness of not knowing whats going on so you cant tell people whats wrong and such, and the just general questioning of reality). It was honestly extremely similar for us when we first started discovering the system and stuff.

So yea! I definitely liked it and am really excited to see where the rest of it goes!

But! I’ve already seen some posts and stuff about Steven and I want you all to remember that Steven is a grown man. While yes he may be confused and not know what’s going on do not treat him like some poor thing that needs to be protected at all costs. He’s just trying to live his life while slowly discovering the other alters in the system!

I would also like to mention please please please don’t refer to the alters as personalities! Personalities is a term originating from when D.I.D. used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. The name for the disorder was changed because of new research and the fact that we are not personalities!!! Alters are their own people and you should not refer to them as personalities!!!
