Team: Go Seduce Rasputin.

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.

The show would be peak television if we just got a little bit of George Russell’s bare ass

if The Gilded Age (the show) wanted to be Great, it would stop the bullshit with Meryl Streep's daughter and be about:

a) fucking

b) Nathan Lane's accent

c) that Russell broad going "darling I need 37.3 million 2023 dollars (American) to fund a party at which I will drop an entire chandelier on Mrs. Astor and her associates"

to which her husband invariably hands her a blank check and goes "what my baby wants my baby gets, now send a telegram if you need me, I'm off to kill a union leader in the street"

god bless georgia tennant for being like. you know who can truly do this character justice as an angry pathetic tryhard rizzless ambitious and successful sociopath? my beloved husband.

I'll be honest, I don't think the brief appearances of the Midnight entity that we get in this episode are actually what the creature literally looks like so much as it's just a representation of what the mind sees if someone catches a glimpse of it in the corner of their eye or in a shadow at the end of a long sparsely lit corridor.

We only ever see it in those contexts; moments in which the mind can't quite grapple with what it sees, or even if it saw anything at all, and hence it's left as a vaguely blobby and featureless grey mass.

He’s also your brother’s brother in law.

“we’re tired of enemies to lovers, it’s toxic”

correction: YOU are tired of enemies to lovers, that is toxic, and more importantly, I am just getting started!!!

Is he a scary man covered in blood? Or is he my baby girl? Spot the difference

British actor who was born in September 1960 and plays in a gay period drama in the 80s, many romantic leads in the 90s including a Jane Austen adaptation in 1995, a love interest in Bridget Jones and Love Actually, and later in their career, a gay guy in the 60s whose lover is one of the guys from Brideshead Revisited (2008).
