this is one of my favorite scenes from the amsterdam episode. people who haven't seen the show; or only have a cursory understanding of it — tend to think that ted lasso is about relentless optimism & positivity. but it's about so much more than that — it's about looking life in the face; seeing its scars and unsolved hurts firsthand — and choosing to believe in beauty anyway.

it's about knowing just how ugly the world can be; and still deciding to look at it with softness and genuine interest. ted lasso never shies away from the heartbreak of human existence — the losses both tiny and large; the loves that walk away — the injustices that you can do nothing to prevent. but through it all; the show remains committed to an unfeigned appreciation of existence. of what it means to be alive — the small acts of tenderness that keep you on earth: biscuits made by someone at your desk every morning; face-timing with your son knowing that his love for you is unconditional — a team who steps up to save your restaurant at a moment's notice. it's about joy & humor as an act of resistance — a refusal to give up on the shimmering potential that might still be left in your life; no matter who or where or what you are.

the world will break you — there is no doubt about it. but if you can take those shards; those pieces of yourself punctured with pain — and still be able to see light pouring through those wounds: then you have the true spirit of vincent. the true spirit of an artist. it's not mentioned in the show; but vincent was able to survive as long as he did because he was consistently sustained by the love and support of his younger brother, theo; who believed in him and his paintings wholeheartedly — just as all the characters in ted lasso are able to process their pain and experiences with the love and companionship of the people around them —with their steadfast faith in each other's ability to do better. it might not be explicitly said; but i think the implication is clear — hearing van gogh's story; ted is inspired to think of "total football" — a method of play that is expansive and wholly dependent on trust in each other and being responsive to each other's needs. it demonstrates how we are nowhere and no one without our communities; our little ecosystems — how we owe care and curiosity to the people in our lives and what they're going through.

as a creator & a certain kind of artist with her own demons to make sense of; this scene was empowering and also so full of warmth. your hands will be wounded; it is inevitable — but if you can still lift up your cut skin and offer it to the world: if you can trust that it will be met and touched by the quiet lovelinesses that still linger in life: (a hard-won victory; the girl in your neighborhood who kicks a ball around with you, the owner of your local pub that recites a poem to you when she sees that you're in pain) — then you have done the impossible work of keeping hope alive. then you have shown indomitable bravery.

if you choose to keep faith with beauty; beauty will keep faith with you — it will never abandon you. that's what ted has always done — kept seeing the beauty in life. and even if he sometimes fails; even if it all gets too much for him —the next day he still tries again. and he never stops trying. he never becomes disillusioned.

as leonard cohen said: "there is a crack in everything — / that is how the light gets in." 💛

I know Brett said that no English person would eat steak without a fork and knife but I can 100% see Herlock eating steak without a fork and knife and just tearing into it in the same manner Iyesa Nosa did

Still trying to figure out why TGAA2-4 and TGAA2-5 set off my "man this is a lot of dudes dudeing" hackles when the other Ace Attorney final cases do not - I thought my baseline expectation of AA was that it's dude-centric while having rad female characters, but apparently it might've been higher, because those two TGAA cases meet that bar.

I kinda see the difference once I iterate through every other installment's (AA1-AA6, AAI1-2, crossover) finale. There's two levels to it.

There's the backstory level, where if you exclude TGAA all the other finales' have at least one major female player figuring into the drama of the backstory, often more. Misty Fey was nowhere near the elevator on DL-6 but she is inseparable from the case, for instance, and that radiates out to Mia and Maya.

Sithe comes closest, with her role in the Professor coverup, but she gets uninterestingly shuffled off in 2-3, her daughter relaying her reports in a way that dilutes both their presences. Even in the finale with the biggest similarity to this - dude-heavy conspiracy with only one female participant, we see more of that participant than we do Sithe, and there's another woman invested in exposing the conspiracy.

Then there's the present-day courtroom and investigation. Which sounds odd, given that if we're playing a male character as we usually are, we almost always have a female assistant around. There's a lot of room for variety here though. I'll take 1-4 again, both because it is the most-played finale case and so I hopefully won't be spoiling anyone, and also because it's a case where the victims were dudes, the arrested suspects were dudes, the only people within five feet of the both crime scenes were dudes, the only living people with previous direct connections to those dudes are dudes (we haven't met Franziska yet), so you know, it has as much of an excuse as any finale to focus solely on the dudes.

But Maya holding onto the bullet is what clinches us the case. It's not the biggest thing Maya ever does, but IDK, it's more interesting to me than Iris's part in the hologram deus ex machina. Heck, even comparing the finales of TGAA1 and TGAA2, in TGAA1 Susato's and Gina's decisions change how the incident and case play out, while in TGAA2 they each get bummed out for different reasons but don't do anything uniquely instrumental.

Anyway, I mostly like the puzzle-solving and emotional logic of TGAA2-4 and TGAA2-5, but I also would not have minded either Klint's widow (dead from childbirth) or Genshin's widow (dead from grief) surviving to the present day to have some feelings of their own and/or cause some drama of their own instead of being one of the three dead wives.

My favorite thing about this is how the camera pans in anticipation of the ball being thrown to first base, but nope, Brett Baty still has the ball. And a new friend.

LOOK IT'S REALLY GOOD OKAY

I never watched BBC Sherlock or engaged in the fandom and being into original Sherlock Holmes in the year 2024 feels like frolicking in a meadow that’s grown up over a battlefield. Occasionally a war weary veteran with shadows in their eyes will find me. “Don’t you know what happened in this place?” they ask me. “I literally don’t,” I reply, and go back to drawing guys from 1895.

I Am a Traveler in the Valley Land Who Dreams of Mountains, But Not a Lonely Heart (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views along the still waters of Vermillion Lakes in Banff National Park. Mount Bourgeau is in the center with other peaks of the Massive Range and North Assiniboine Crest. Using the distant lakeshore, I decided to use a leveled-on view and have a balance between the ridges and peaks and their reflections.
