You don’t understand everyone in Crashing (2016) hates themselves (except melody) and lies to themselves (except melody, she just lies the others)

Sam is living a lie, he’s literally a realtor. He lie about his wants, he hides away in his asshole persona because that lifts the burden of being able to Actually trust others as well as even the slightest chance of being known, of anyone finding out the truth.

Fred is great, the only one I can believe actually going to therapy in this show but there is a literal self-harm threat made by him in the show and his relationship with Sam is an extent of that. He doesn’t realise how much his way of going about life is hurting him.

Kate is so anal, she doesn’t love her fiancé, she doesn’t orgasm, she’s deeply unhappy but that’s the life she set out to have for herself. And she Knows Anthony does not love her but maybe that’s what makes it so comfortable, maybe she even chose him specifically for that (she knows of Lulu at the start of the show and she’s not an idiot). She chose a life full of people who don’t love her and partys she can’t have fun at (because she always knows where the treasure is, there’s probably a metaphor there for someone smarter to figure out).

Anthony is childish and aimless, comfortable in the mundane. That’s why him and Lulu get along so well, they’re both stuck in their childhood jokes and pranks with the constant motif of bullshitting even though they’re supposed to be the two people who know each other best in the world. His most telling scene is asking Lulu to tell him what to do because that’s what he wants most. He wants to be told how to live his life. Maybe because he’s just like that, maybe because he’s missing half of his heart (Lulu has been gone for a long long time). That’s definitely why he picked Kate, at first glance a woman with a plan, who has her shit together, who is more comfortable doing everything herself and that’s why he tries to make it work with her so badly. He picked the easy way out, the non-choice, the just leave it be and let others decide and that’s what makes him so miserable.

Lulu is on the path to self distruction from the moment we meet her. Yes, she didn’t move to London to break up Anthony and Kate but she did stay to hurt herself. She loves him so much it hurts and the worst part is that they are perfect for each other they just can’t do anything about that. So she fucks Sam and gets drunk all the time and can’t think of a future for herself. Because the only person who truly loves being around her is Anthony and he’s engaged. And she has to bullshit her way out of every situation, can’t hear a honest conversation even though that’s what she craves most, truth (like the songs)

I love how at no point in time though out the whole show I had literally any idea what happens next and yet any action a character takes fits perfectly within their motivations. (Yes even the crying kink). God, I love this show

realsest post ever because its true thst war at home was VERY deservidly cancelled but did it really have to be right when kenny got a bf

smh my head shows keep getting cancelled just as their queer characters begin to thrive

im talking about crashing getting cancelled after the first season when sam and fred only get together (and sam only admits he’s gay) in the last episode and the war at home getting (deservedly) cancelled after two seasons right after kenny comes out and gets a boyfriend

Very late to the party, but I just found out they're moving the spanish gp to another location

So that means, goodbye to the circuit where this happened, and just a yr short of its 10 yr anniversary 🥹

He could have let the motorcycle go. He absolutely could have let it go. But no, let's fling yourself, another man, and a massive motorcycle through a window

“Hey! This is Jack the Dalton speaking. Probably couldn’t catch your call due to doing cool… bathroom tile salesman… stuff. Leave a message and I’ll hit you back up. Ciao!”

“I don’t know where I am right now.” Mac mumbled. He was aware he was slurring, slightly. He felt like he weighed a million pounds, or maybe like he’d been welded in place into his car. Immovable. Lethargic. His skin felt damp, he didn’t know if he was sweating or bleeding. He felt too cold to be sweating. “But I need help. Can you…”

Mac closed his eyes. Can you what? Find me? Not leave me? Just talk to me?

The voicemail beeped, marking an end to the message.

Mac redialed.

I just read Conclave chapter 3 and oh my god poor Lomeli has a nightmare.

"At one point he dreamed he was in the Sistine Chapel and that the Holy Father was praying at the altar, but that everytime he tried to approach him, the old man moved away, until finally he walked to the door of the sacristy. He turned and smiled at Lomeli, opened the door to the Room of Tears and plunged from view. Lomeli woke with a cry, which he stifled quickly by biting on his knuckle. For a few wide-eyed seconds he had no idea where he was. All the familiar objects of his life had vanished. He lay waiting for his heartbeat to steady."

HE CRIES TOO SOMEONE PLEASE HUG THIS POOR MAN

Also do you think that's what this deleted scene was???
