The Traditional Earth Ballad Is Back!

This was too fucking funny. Aabria, a crown for this joke is available if you want it.

I need to be taken to the seaside for hysteria

And that's on that

whenever he calls her angel I scream into a pillow because GODDDDDD

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

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"

Okay, I get they wanted a way to wrap up Rumple's arc in season 7 and wanted to show Rumple was capable of redeeming without Belle.

But guys, we were robbed of season 7 morally grey police officer Rumple and florist/author Belle having a dorky crush on each other. He would come into her shop every morning at the same time to pick up a bouquet of roses (but really, it was to see her adorable face). He was the only one she could talk to about her dreams of getting her book published because she was too scared to share them with anyone else.

Rumple would then awkwardly ask Henry to help him convince Belle to publish her book (and we could have had an episode with Henry and Rumple bonding like old times). Having Belle alive would have been the perfect opportunity to bring Gideon back into the story, so he wouldn't be a wasted character anymore.

(why couldn't we have this, it's already leagues above the annoying and forced relationship Henry and Jacina had)

Season 7 isn't bad, it's just wasted potential.

It was a chance to focus on characters other than the Charmings, but instead, they introduced boring new characters nobody cared about because focusing on villains or morally grey, complex characters is hard to write, and they couldn't be bothered to put in the work.

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.

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.

Literally caused me to shit my pants I was so instantly terrified
