shes the most selfish person alive. she poured herself out in an act of pure selflessness. she agreed to help in a pity suicide. she cried when he died. she was engaged to him once. she loves someone else. she can't stand him. one time she died to make them talk to each other. she got his dick blown off. she took care of his little sister for him. she killed his little sister. she kept him alive. she was kept alive by him. she brought him to life. she tortured him endlessly. she killed millions. it was all to keep a little boy alive in the midst of tragedy. she was neglected. she had an average life. she loves lemon candies. she smokes from stress. she did it all for love. she died in a train station, never getting his attention. she was greedy and wanted the other 51%. she wrote him back to existence. she did it all over again just to reach out to him. she wrote his life story as a goodbye love letter. she's god, she's powerless, she saved him, she looked back and lost him. she's jealous of the love he has for her creation. if it can keep him alive, she'll keep writing for eternity.

Been working my way v slowly thru Flannery O'Connor's short stories, and short stories as a format/genre are hit and miss for me in general (but I love the grotesque so I had to read O'Connor), overall tho I've just been kinda meh about them? There certainly have been some stand out ones, but for the most part I haven't found them that resonant - which is a me problem, I KNOW my white northern city dumbass is missing out on a lot of the cultural and temporal vibes and nuances
That being said, 'the enduring chill' just fuckin dragged my ass. You know who's gonna have an enduring chill now Ms O'Connor? ME

Okay but we need these parallels before the series ends: •Tim throwing Lucy her wedding ring to parallel him throwing her her ring after day of death for the proposal. •Tim seeing she kept the day of death tattoo because he said it’s proof she’s a survivor. •Gender reveal where Lucy gives Tim a present and it powder bombs with the color of their child. •Tim giving Lucy back the booties when they have a child for the child to wear. •And of course their 3 children because that’s Tims dream

Our work introduced a new efficiency rating system to “encourage” certain people to be less god damn slow only… not to bog you down with details, but the way it’s calculated means that if you ARE really efficient it backfires and gives you a shitty fucking score. My boss was ranting about it the other day, cause it essentially means me and everyone on my team has to work SLOWER for the scores to be ok

Having low expectations almost paid off. Nicholas Galitzine was perfectly cast and put his whole foot into this. Taylor was very charming. They have great chemistry and no self-consciousness. I wanted hot guys getting it on and I got it. Zahra and Nora carried the rest of the movie.
I sure wish Alex had been in this movie though! However, I forgot that Greg Berlanti's brand is not simply failing to meet standards but actively fucking them over. Kind of want to send Matthew Lopez a fruit basket for the sex scenes and a dog poop for the rest of it. It's one thing for a movie to be sub-par, it's another for it to be two hours worth of sexist and racial microaggressions.
