I know a lot of people were like “Ted Lasso is all about second chances! … except for Rupert, fuck that guy”. And that’s funny as a joke, but one of the things I adored about this season is that Rupert DID get a second chance. And he fucking blew it.

Rebecca calls him out on being a shitty husband and father, and tells him to do better. She calls him out for using football as the means to an end and reminds him of how he once loved it just for the sport. And what two things bring about Rupert’s downfall in the finale? The fact that he kept sleeping with his employees and the fact that he tried to get his manager to play dirty in order to win a match. Rebecca offered him second chances - not with her, but to become a better person, and it was his explicit rejection of those chances that sealed his fate.

Ted Lasso has never been subtle about the message that anyone can change and anyone can use a second chance. Rupert isn’t an exception to that, he’s an example of what happens when you don’t take that second chance.

God I loved this ending. So perfect.

I must be one of the only people who loved this final season. I loved the flashbacks, I found them way more elegant than a cliché epilogue. I loved that the focus was Midge's relationship to her family and to Susie, and not to romantic love interests. And this finale was perfect - funny, tender, nostalgic, and incredibly not tacky at all (the way finales so often are!).

One of my favorite shows of all time. Can't wait to rewatch it a thousand more times!

The #MarvelousMrsMaisel ending was such a perfect way to wrap up both Midge and Susie's story. That flash forward into Midge's fame was such a beautiful way to show us she made it, while we watch how she fought to get there.

A look inside the Bridgerton's phones pt. 1

[pink-roses-garden]

You guys, do you think by the end of seven books and assorted epilogues Anthony Bridgerton takes a look at his mother, mother in law, 7 siblings, the 8 Bridgerton spouses, siblings of at least 3 of those spouses, his 4 children, 31 NIECES AND NEPHEWS, and a corgi, all gained in the last 27 years and just think:

“The dumbasses I am responsible for have multiplied at an ALARMING rate.”

Using the appropriate vocabulary in your novel

It is very important that the language in your novel reflects the time and place in which the story is set.

For example, my story is set in Italy. My characters would never “ride shotgun”, a term coined in US in the early 1900s referring to riding alongside the driver with a shotgun to gun bandits. 

Do your research! A free tool that I found to be very useful is Ngram Viewer. 

You can type any word and see when it started appearing in books. For example…one of my characters was going to say “gazillion” (I write YA) in 1994. Was “gazillion” used back then?

And the answer is…YES! It started trending in 1988 and was quite popular in 1994.

Enjoy ^_^
