LENNY BRUCE + looking at midge

"You know, I don't know that I worked more than 30 days on this show probably…" [x]

[mrsmaiselsource]

I don’t understand how Joel could EVER cheat on Midge.. like.. DUDE. You won the wife lottery. LOOK AT HER.

[mangio-formaggio]

Did you ever just like...

Lenny saw Midge's speech that night and not only empathize with deep topics she talked about, but also fully understood how much he hurt her with rejection of help and empathy. How much she hates that it always either a woman or a comic, either sincere care or acknowledgment by the world. How he of all people, should understand her desire to be more than a gimmick. More than one thing.

And then in Blue Room, he finally have guts to act on his feelings, because she more important than his pride, his desperate clutching to fullness of life, his cool careless rascal persona. More important than all unspoken rules they had before to keep the safe distance. She is more important than God aka anything that usually helps you and grounds you. Cause at this moment their connection is what grounds him, calms his demons and makes him feel like a man, not a gimmick.

And then we have Fleabag and The Priest.

Yeah. For The Priest it's God. Cause sleeping with her not make him calm or grounded or humbled. It strips him down to all messy things inside, all little intrusive thoughts, all the worst instincts. All ugly and raw and full of hunger for life.

But it's not what he wants for himself, it's not what's best for him and what can make him happy in a long run. God is more important than a woman.

Lenny looked at Midge and saw the world full of wonders in a single moment in time. The Priest looked at Fleabag and saw that everything will pass.

Don’t talk to me for another week while I am preparing to see Luke for the last time as Lenny and Rachel’s final “thank you and good night!”

Is anyone else finding the latest season of the Marvelous mrs. Maisel to be absolutely terrible? I’m so heartbroken that I’m not enjoying it

[supernaturalfangirlworld]

It’s not his turn? What kind of bullshit is that? Her other clients shouldn’t have to compromise like that, midge doesn’t even want that

watched eps 1 & 2 of season 5 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" with my boyfriend and it suddenly struck me how wonderfully autistic this show is.

For one, there's Abe. And he's like... basically undeniably autistic. His rigidity speaks volumes, as well as his issues reading social cues. Abe is a man of structure and routine and tradition, and interrupting his little routines upsets him greatly. And just look at the scene in 5x01 when that woman places her hand on his thigh! He gets a whole mini subplot where he needs his coworker to tell him that's a sexual gesture explicitly for him to get it! And then look at how he copies that behavior to Rose when they're out at dinner!

I think the rest of the characters are much less autisitc coded, but the whole show is sort of just... autistic. The actors are often directed to speak their lines in this flat yet comedic way, and they often don't take things very seriously in a way I relate to. The way Moishe just announces the divorce at Thanksgiving like that. There's also 5x02 where Midge struggles excessively at her new job. Yes, she is a woman in a writer's room in 1961, but her confusion and serious struggles with figuring out the social rules was extremely relatable to me.

Yeah, it is a comedy, but not all comedies are quite like this. I also think there are other factors at play to the special vibes Maisel has, such as the late 50s/early 60s style factors and the fact that it's very, very Jewish.

The best way I can describe the way I feel about Joel is this:

“Joel, stop trying to make FETCH happen. It’s not going to happen.”

sorry dude, you’re not funny

[leavemeslowly]

I have just read a theory that Midge will bail Lenny out in the finale 😭😫
