Oh how I love being a hinged woman fighting daily to not let the screws go loose

i love unhinged women but i also love women who try so fucking hard to be hinged. clinging to those hinges by her fingernails.

Downton Abbey: don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and someone will die (maybe you)

Game of Thrones: don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and your whole family will die

Outlander: might as well have sex, sure you will get pregnant and plenty of people will die, but the situations will at least be entirely unrelated. have sex in the missionary position. have sex standing up. have sex outdoors in the scottish highlands. have sex on a ship. have sex in a stable. have dangerously acrobatic sex in a window. have sex on top of some pushed-together crates in the hours before the battle of monmouth.

So like I know everyone makes fun of James Norrington in PotC for that part where Elizabeth is like “I can’t breathe” and he says “Yes, rather nervous myself” or something like that and there’s also that meme about “lol men comparing their problem to women’s” but to be fair, he was genuinely a nervous sweetheart, as soon as Elizabeth fell he was straight up ready to jump after her, he was only stopped by lieutenant what’s his face Gillete like “sir no, the rocks! It’s a miracle she missed them!”

Like yeah when I was a kid I hated Norrington cause he was in the way of Will and Elizabeth but now i’m just like… James… my love… such a pure soul… we’ve been sleeping on you, my darling, but no more

tl;dr James Norrington is a good man & husband material, you guys are just mean

RIP Connor Roy (not dead just gone from our screens) you would have hated Napoleon (2023).

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.
