Anything but you except when Bea realizes they're pulling a Much Ado About Nothing, she makes Ben watch the Kenneth Branagh version and that's how they fall in love and maybe she decides to do some writing or acting or something, some direction instead of just "not law school"

[midnightcerealblog]

Alright bitches buckle in bc I just watched Anything But You and I have Thoughts

Failed romance that ends badly in the prologue? It’s more textually accurate than you might think… also it’s giving the 2012 adaptation

Beatrice being a law student and Benedick being a finance bro makes so much sense

The Shakespeare quote mural is a little heavy handed but oh well it’s a rom com this is not the time to be intellectual

Lesbian Claudio and Hero??? I will never be mad at gender swapping in Shakespeare

Everyone just knows that they have history ??? Interesting

The plane scene with the sexual innuendos feels accurate for a play that’s title is a sex joke

Do I want to go to Australia now? Yes

Bea’s last name is Messina love that detail

Also someone def shouted Much Ado About Nothing during charades but you can only catch it with the subtitles on

Omg the plotting and fake eavesdropping scene is iconic

“You’re pretty girl hot”

They know immediately??? Okay this is taking a turn away from the original plot

Immediately guessed the fake dating trope but oh well it’s still cute

The dead mom plot is a little weird

The shenanigans are feeling Shakespearean and I’m here for it

TITANIC

HE JUMPED IN AFTER HER

The whole harbor scene is just *chef’s kiss* perfect

The book title of Men Were Deceivers is excellent

Love Margaret but don’t exactly love this whole love triangle

Kinda wish that we knew why Bea didn’t want to be a lawyer bc it seems like a perf job for her

“I just made that up” girl cmon.

GO TO HER BEN

Listen, if you’re going to do a trope-filled fluffy rom com you’ve gotta commit AND THEY DID

YES UNWRITTEN ENDING CREDITS SCENE

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

hey. don’t cry. crush four cloves of garlic into a pot with a dollop of olive oil and stir until golden then add one can of crushed tomatoes a bit of balsamic vinegar half a tablespoon of brown sugar and stir for a few minutes adding a handful of fresh spinach until wilted and mix in half a cup of grated parmesan cheese and pasta of your choice ok?

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

keep seeing undergrads on social media saying “oh if a prof has a strict no-AI academic integrity policy that’s a red flag for me because that means they don’t know how to design assignments” like sorry girl but that just sounds like you’ve got a case of sour grapes about not being allowed to cheat with the plagiarism machine that doesn’t know how to evaluate sources and kills the environment! I have a strict no-AI policy because if you use AI to write your essays for a writing course it’s literally plagiarism because you didn’t write it and you’re not learning any of the things the course teaches if you just plug a prompt into the plagiarism generator that kills the environment, hope this helps!

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

[cemeterything]

obviously people steal things from other people it's one of the oldest tricks in the book but it still always surprises me to learn that people plagiarise because my introduction to the concept was basically being told that if i ever plagiarised anything i would be executed by firing squad and my head would be removed and displayed on a spike outside the walls of the hallowed academic institution i was attending as a warning to others

Justice for Dacre Montgomery

y’all remind yourselves your account is your space. you’re not a performance. you’re not annoying by being yourself. if people aren’t into it they can leave. you’re not obligated to please anyone, especially at the cost of your personal expression. the worst thing you can do for your online enjoyment is to filter or censor yourself.

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

This has been in my mind since August but I couldn't figure out which character would say it. Then I started a Karlach Origin run and realized: Karlach. Karlach has a face that knows what The Grinch is.

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.

Me: Huh. Unexpected, I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Magnus fandom, 2024: We're horny for this guy made of needles!

Me: Of course you are, my children. Be free.

Magnus fandom 2024: We're horny for this bulbous oozing clown man!

Magnus fandom, just now: We're horny for a member of the British Aristocracy!

Me: Gross. No. Absolutely not. Sick freaks the lot of you. I am officially kinkshaming. You disgust me.
