its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

this choice from hudson: “both in the book and in the scripts, shane isn't crying during the break up talk with rose but I wanted it when I read it. I just felt that's exactly what he'd be doing,” is so incredibly moving and indicative of his talent as a actor because it really conveys to the audience that this moment is not fully cathartic for shane. he’s still desperately trying to keep the tears at bay and restrict his emotions. he can’t verbally say yes or no to rose’s questions but it’s a small step in his journey to self acceptance.

toddler started playing a game a while ago where he points at dad and says "you're [toddler]. I'm Dada" and then they roleplay being each other. I gotta say. the schadenfreude, the absolute satisfaction, when toddler says "eat your hot dog" and dad says "no! I want a lot!!" (imitating what the toddler does when he refuses to eat unless he is given a GIANT PILE of food, which he will eat approximately 5% of) and toddler says "you can have this" (exactly what we say to him in this situation) and dad says "I WANT A LOT!!" and the toddler tries to think of a way to convince him and says "EAT IT!!" with visible frustration. exquisite. incredible

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry
