miss piggy puts up with so much as a woman in show business and her response to misogyny is never to turn the other cheek or take the high road. it’s to physically attack people. and she’s right.
fans: aw, those two are so cute together! I hope they are endgame (:

I love this so much holy fuck
Some favourite staging moments in productions of Shakespeare plays:
Clarence actually getting drowned in a barrel of wine on stage in Richard III; it was a small barrel, they stuck his head into it as he struggled, pulled him out for an instant as he gasped for air and screamed, his head was wet and sopping, his face all red
Macbeth clutching his empty hands to hold an imaginary child, casting a clawed shadow on the wall
Ophelia ripping out hanks of her hair to give to people during her ‘flowers’ scene (obviously fake hair in real life)
Benedict in Much Ado About Nothing hiding from Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro, taking a swig from a can of beer that happened to be full of cigarette butts and spit-taking it all over Don Pedro and Leonato
who then awkwardly pretend to check if it’s raining
Angelo in Measure for Measure taking off a bloody cilice belt from around his thigh while saying ‘Blood, thou art blood’
Also a really good bit where Angelo shows up in a two way mirror later on when the Duke’s speaking to himself and cursing him; the Duke turns to point at the mirror and there’s Angelo, in the chain of office, pointing back, accusing the Duke as much as the Duke does to him
The moment in Julius Caesar where Brutus asks his servant Strato - who’s been sitting with his back to the audience and wearing a hat with a wide brim - to help him commit suicide; Strato stands while taking off his hat to reveal that he’s played by Caesar’s actor
(a collective gasp went around the theatre; really lent a whole new meaning to ‘Caesar, now be still. I killed not thee with half so good a will’)
After a frantic chase scene in The Comedy of Errors which ends with all the cast collapsed across the stage in exhaustion and the scenery itself falling to bits…a pair of underpants falls from the ceiling, and Dromio of Ephesus (who’d tried in vain to retrieve them at the start of the play) crawls over several other characters, seizes them and screams in triumph

The standard British tea is English Breakfast Tea, sold by brands like Yorkshire Tea, and PG tips, or Barry’s if you’re Irish. It is NOT Earl Grey. In fact, it’s quite unusual for someone to actually drink Earl Grey. The two teas are not interchangeable.
If someone offers you a cup of tea, they mean English breakfast - if they have something other than English breakfast, they will specify. Most British households will keep teabags of English breakfast tea and instant coffee as standard (even if they personally don’t like it, it’s usually polite to keep it to offer to guests).
Having worked in a coffee shop, in my experience, it is only middle class people (and usually white women) who order Earl Grey teas, whereas English breakfast is far more universal. A ‘builder’s tea’ - aka a strong cup of English breakfast with very little milk - is commonly associated with working class men, but can equally be enjoyed by everyone (like me). If someone orders a black tea, this will usually mean an English breakfast tea without milk, as opposed to the type of tea. Making a weak cup of tea which has not been allowed to brew for long enough or which has too much milk will result in being mocked, and offering a weak tea to guests is very rude.
Along a similar vein, we do not have cream/creamer in our coffees here. For both tea and coffee, the usual options are milk, sugar, or sweeteners. I live in London and yet I’ve never even seen coffee creamer in the fridge of Tesco.
Of course, I am sure that there are people who prefer Earl Grey and keep it stocked in their homes. Equally, I’m sure there’s someone who went to America and now orders coffee creamer from Amazon or something, but that is the 0.01% of the population. Not the majority.
Yes, this is a weird reader pet peeve of mine because it really takes away from the realism of the story. So small and yet so telling😂
Thank you for reading my rant! If you have any more questions, please ask. Now go forth and write accurate Brits!
Ok so I know everyone has already said that Isha is the perfect combo of Powder, Milo and Claggor (face, hair, goggles) but what I haven't seen anyone else mention is the fact that on top of all this, when Vi sees her, she is staring up at an enforcer with the same burning hatred Vi herself used to possess. In that moment Vi is seeing not just her old family, but her old self.
