Season 3 starts with jinshi falling ill, trying to keep going, staying strong so he looks cool in front of MaoMao, failing miserably and collapsing eventually. MaoMao is on the case of course, no one poisons her man, the audacity, it must be a high ranking whatever, political intrigue, high stakes. The drama. The angst. The realization that she's passively poisoning him with her kisses after she eats poison herself. She washes her mouth between meals and making out, finds the antidote for the weird mix of symptoms she accidentally gave her boyfriend. They live happily ever after.

This moment in movie making feels like a good time to remind you that an incredible Romeo and Juliet adaptation that features the hot priest from the new Knives out as Romeo and the wife from Hamnet as Juliet is available for streaming on National Theater at Home which is only $12 a month (and no ads!!!!). I just watched it and it's honestly phenomenal. Definitely my favorite Romeo and Juliet adaptation I've ever seen.

I can't make gifs but I'd like to remind you all that the aunt in The Other Bennet Sister plays Caroline Bingley in Bride and Prejudice (the Bollywood Pride and Prejudice) and her quote about there always being another Caroline and we don't let them get to us hits harder with that info.

I thought I didn't have a type and then I realized I have a crush on both Hobie from the spiderman movies and Ren Makes Music, which is a ridiculously specific kind of person so I guess I have a type but it's punk anticapitalist softie vibes mostly.

If anyone is trying to boycott IDF supporting businesses more efficiently, I can't recommend the BoyCat app enough. It's fast, fun, they rank things on three levels depending on commitment and severity, and they cite their sources!
