my humor might be broken cause I find this trend actually funny

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

I am living for the resurgence of the murder mystery genre, I was game for the remakes of the classic Poirot films with Kenneth Branagh, I was charmed by Only Murders in the Building and I'm in love with Rian Johnson's work and by that I mean both the incredibly popular Knives Out franchise and the highly underviewed Poker Face series featuring Natasha Lyonnes as a Columbo-esque character I'm currently inlove with.

Speaking of Lyons this rant is about The Residence! The connection bring that The Residence stars Uzo Aduba who also featured in Orange is the New Black alongside Lyonnes. And God am I glad these actresses are getting fantastic roles like this because they deserve them. Cordelia Cupp is brilliantly weird and she pulls off the ego of the Detective type without making the character an asshole. She's really damn likeable and funny. This show is in general. I loved it. Binged it over the weekend and now I've finished all I want is another season. The writing was both hilarious, quirky and at some points damn touching! I was absorbed in a romance briefly brought up for about 10 minutes in one episode, absorbed! I also felt really genuinely sad abou thr murder victims death through out but especially near the end of the series. The more I saw of him the more I felt really reaally bad for the guy. That's hella impressive for a show to do for a character we normally don't get that much emotionality from.

The mystery itself was great fun, lot's of twists and turns but cleverly layered upon each episode. It's also definitely a twist you can unravel near the end, which is good! Personally I got it narrowed right down in episode 6 and episode 7 basically confirmed my theory and that makes for a very satisfying season finale when it all comes together. My ADHD brain very much enjoys a mystery series because they're quite fast paced and good at relaying previous knowledge we need to know.

Although Uzo Aduba definitely made a fantastic series lead this show was full of fab performance's. I can't even begin to name them all but the character's that made me laugh the most were Ken Marino as the President's asshole advisor, Mary Wiseman as passionate chef from "Portland". But my fave was Jason Lee as the President's useless brother Tripp. My God no spoielr but there is a scene in episode 8 featuring him and a George McCutcheon (The Whitehouse has three of them apparently) that literally had my laughing so hard.

Basically please watch this show I want more Murder Mysteries and in particular another season featuring my now third favourite Detective Cordelia Cupp! (Benoit's 2nd Charlie Cale is 1st even though she literally isn't even a detective🤣🤣)

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

Star Trek: Picard subverted the "Person from a different time cannot drive properly" trope by making Seven to get the hang of it really fast and drive really well, BUT make her completely lost on how the TRAFFIC ITSELF works xD
