la vie en rose

so so sooooo sexy when tv shows end when they're supposed to. so sexy to have a thematically coherent & significant narrative and follow it to its natural conclusion. I'm salivating

unstoppable force (wanting to be the kindest version of myself) vs immovable object (all the anger and hatred I have inside myself)

lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it

If you take unsalted nuts from the store and get your own slat to put it on it doesn’t taste any different or better or worse and doesn’t cost any less or more but you can still do it and nothing bad will happen as far as i know

sometimes you have to enter a self and medically induced psychosis that makes you forget about your marriage of 12 years and your husband and son because your real soulmate is a pathetically hot german captain

just realized that there were definitely celebrities who got infected in the last of us which is hilarious to think about. imagine getting attacked by a zombie and your last thought before you die is "is that fucking justin timberlake?"

I am so happy for brendan fraser because he is clearly at a happier, healthier place in his life (mentally, and hopefully physically ie the injuries he's sustained from stunts) but the "Brenaissance" infuriates me so much because hollywood (and the internet as a collective) are patting themselves on the back for giving a 'forgotten leading man of films past' a second chance when THEY are the ones that turned their backs on him. they are the ones that blacklisted him when he spoke out about being sexually assaulted, when he gained weight and was in constant pain. before this year, every article about him had a picture of him at the peak of his physicality/youth next to a terrible paparazzi photo of him. for years people have been talking about his glow down, about how bad he's aged. his entire worth was equated with his looks. and now, because he's proved he's the same talented actor he's always been, we're pretending like we didn't fail him for years? idk.

+ the way some of these celebrities and a large part of the internet treats him now comes across as very infantilizing
