this sucks so bad i need to [remembers suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] put on the best talent show this towns ever seen

a post-doc was doing a guest seminar at my institute and at the beginning of his presentation he was explaining why he chose birds for his evolutionary analysis - so he said "well first of all, because birds are the best and most interesting animals and it's fun to study them" and a few professors in the room gave him a very serious nod

imagine a guy you only kind of know invites you over to his lighthouse and he says “let’s watch the lighthouse” and you say okay : ) and then he shows you That. he’s the funniest person alive and he didn’t even mean it

i think one thing that bridgerton s2 does well is establish why kate and anthony gravitate to each other. so many romance stories flop because they cant convince you what the deal is but bridgerton is like well they are both eldest siblings they are both patronizing and overbearing they are both control freak know it alls. put them in a jar lock them in a room. haha

like here are two characters who are dead set on denying themselves everything they want for the sake of duty and propriety haha what do you think would happen if they meet and want each other. and the answer is fingers in his mouth wednesday (crowd cheering)

sorry sorry but i also like how the source of their self denial & fixation on duty is similar but not identical — kate feels indebted to her mother for treating her like a “real” daughter and so feels like she owes both her and edwina total devotion at the cost of her own happiness, whereas anthony thinks the best way to avoid subjecting others and himself to the inevitable grief that is the price of loving people is to merely like them instead of love them. & they both suddenly lose a (loving) father and have to support their mother through their grief but he takes it as “ok ill just never love my partner then” and she takes it as “ok ill just never have a partner then.” i love romance when its good?
