Haha my fiancé loves TBB now like me and we're near the S1 finale (my rewatch, his first time)... and now he starts to worry about S2 a lot bc of my reactions and my ugly cries about the season, especially S2E16
HE WILL SUFFER THE SAME WAY AS ME
don't you think Hailey Jay appreciates it? because i can't remember a moment when she was proud of him let alone anyone... his 10 year old in IU as the best example (9x09)
Being proud of somebody doesn't always mean, verbally saying those words. Showing your proudness could be done through actions, eye contact, or even praising someone.
Hailey is proud of Jay. She is proud of everything he has accomplished. Proud of everything he has fought through. Proud of the man he has become even after seeing the mistakes he has made. Hailey is proud to have him as her partner. She is proud to have him in her life. And to top it all, she is proud to call him her husband.
If she wasn't proud, she would have kept a wall between her and Jay. She wouldn't have let him in on her past and trauma. She wouldn't have asked him to marry her if she wasn't proud of him.
Is Co-habiting an Acceptable Solution for Modern Society?
I saw a post on Instagram this morning about seven girlfriends who built a big house in order to grow old together. It reminded me of a discussion I had with my sister some years ago when we were exploring the difficulties single mothers face in daily life. I remember telling her that sooner or later single mothers will find a way to live together in order to support each other with raising kids…
this is why prenups are important because you have to leave her. she's not an adult. she's a child in an adult body who wants this guy to just be a walking, talking atm machine with a dick. she's clearly contributing nothing but wants him to work himself to death so that she can have a social media worthy life. this is why men need to continue asking "what does she bring to the table?" or they will find themselves in this situation.
maybe this is just me not curating my internet experience enough but lately i haven't been able to stand how oversaturated everything is with the need for romance, if that makes sense? i don't know how to explain it well but it really feels like a piece of media only has value to some people if there are characters in relationships or characters who can be shipped romantically and put into tropes. it feels like... a relationship has more inherent value to some people just because it's romantic and because of the fall in media literacy that means that characters have to explicitly say it out loud or kiss (alternatively every piece of subtext is twisted in this need of a romantic interpretation). and again maybe this is literally just me but i don't feel represented at all in this ranked and divided classification of romantic and platonic and familial love and i wish the latter two were valued as highly as the first. yes, i know what it's like to be frustrated with especially queer representation being written off as "they are just really good friends" but i'm similarly annoyed when two characters being in the same airspace suddenly means they are madly in love with each other
Narmada and her sister Sharika are the daughters of prominent Tamil feminist and human rights activist Rajini Thiranagama, who was murdered when they were children. Every time they speak of her I move away from grief that her life was so brutally cut short, to joy that she spent those years living a life more full of light and love than many can fit into a hundred. Nothing can compare to the legacy of being remembered this way by your children.
"Any assessment of the emotional component of the reconciliation of [Empress Matilda and Geoffrey of Anjou] remains speculation: the chroniclers are silent on the issue of whether [they] grew to love, hate, or like each other. We do know, from their movements and actions, that Matilda and Geoffrey eventually arrived at a businesslike arrangement with a united viewpoint toward the dynastic, geopolitical goals that had dictated their marriage in the first place."
"Matilda and Geoffrey effectively transitioned from a Divide and Rule model to a Collaborative Union from 1144 onwards, in which they worked together throughout their marriage to ensure rulership over their territories and gained their rightful lands, as well as ensuring the inheritance for their children. Matilda and Geoffrey’s political partnership can effectively be argued as the most successful through applying different models of rulership. Ultimately the Plantagenets regained Matilda’s inheritance through Henry, conquered Normandy, and produced several male heirs."
