Not Really A Fan Of Bridgerton, But I Am A Fan Of Nicola Coughlan's Response To Everyone Shitting On

No, because I actually love them interacting more before this. We actually see them being "best friends" and bonding.

But they are friends. Sibling coded. JJ as much as I loved her, she doesn't listen to Spencer, his info dumps and many interests. You just cannot write in that characters like these are in love after 14 SEASONS of evidence that would say otherwise.

Erica Mereditch, I am actually your biggest hater. Even the cast didn't like this, who fucking approved the script??

Then in S15 trying to fix it and Spencer struggling as if he still had those underlying feelings?? Girl i can't. I'm not even in the head space to vent about this properly. Might just skip through some scenes

how to say "I love you" in x-files [105/?] ⤷ 6.04 — “Dreamland”

Love these guys what was going on with their old photoshoots

Sometimes you just gotta curl up and snuggle your giant ass into the lap of your teeny tiny miniature coworker

Imagine having been born in 1905... And all your life it doesn't fucking stop. The Great War, the Spanish Flu, and then you go out of your mind for 7 years. Everyone is traumatised and nothing matters. Then another crash. And then the rise of fascism, and the War to end all Wars didn't and it's 1945 and you're just about still there. You may have fought or ferried the boys from Dunkirk or sabotaged the Nazi occupiers or worked in the factories and put out fires during the Blitz and you're lucky to be alive, because not all your friends made it. But you are and finally, fucking finally, it stops. It stops. You are tough as nails and you can put that strength to work into building something and you do, and people have cars and can buy icecream and you have a pension fund and the kids have money of their own and no nightmares.

I want that for us. I so want that for us. I want to be the generation that has seen fucking everything and is like a MRSA bug and unfazed and when that Cheeto finally dies, I want us to. Plant the gardens and clean the seas because we can and we want to and we remember some joy, some time of trust even when it got broken and we can say to the 20 somethings "let us show you what we can build, how it can feel."

And maybe Gen beta will take it all for granted like the boomers did, but we can give Gen Z and Alpha some peace because we, and Gen Z and Alpha have seen the Dark Times and fuck that noise.

Leitmotifs drive me insane, like I hear *repeated melody that has an association with a person, idea, or situation* and I go *tears up the fucking rug like a dog*
