Wasting Time

I’LL JUST SAY THIS.. the laurie/jo ‘proposal’ scene is EXTREMELY painful because laurie says “i’ve loved you ever since i’ve known you” and we have had the whole movie to see how WELL he knows her and how much of their living and growing up has been done together…. it is PRECISELY the extent to which laurie DOES know and understand jo that lets us know how much he loves her…. it’s not a love based on an idealized or surface-level image of her, but on years and years of closeness… so when he says “it’s no use”… “we’ve got to have it out”… he clearly already knows in his heart what she’s going to say… his deep knowledge of her is both the source of his love for her and the source of his agony because in loving her he knows she doesn’t love him in the same way…………

Okay so, that scene in Little Women (2019) when Amy realises that Laurie is trying to show romantic interest in her, and Amy tells him she won’t be the one he settles for because he can’t have Jo, even though she’s loved him her whole life? I FELT THAT. Give Florence ALL THE AWARDS. ALL OF THEM

so january is almost over huh? what’s next? february? give me a break

The Good Place confirming that pre-ordained soulmates don’t exist and that Chidi and Eleanor organically fell in love every single time they were rebooted like the Romance of it all is too much for me!!! Fuck soulmates give me two wildly different people who choose to love each other no matger what and I’ll go feral!!
