Why does spirit suck so bad? Genuinely. He SUCKS. Get this man in therapy. He finally has time with his daughter and he can’t fucking talk to her like he wants to.

He can talk about the demon sword just fiiiine but the second he has to face his failures and his feelings, he freezes and changes the subject. He’s so pathetic and not the funny sopping wet cat way, he just sucks.

My other favorite thing and then I’ll shut up until I can watch it again is that I love that Bradley Cooper (a good singer) is committed to Rocket singing SO BADLY.

You're telling me that these predominantly autistic-leaning insular communities are having trouble appropriately gauging the tone and reactions of each other? Wrow.

I forgot how embarrassing the BBC Pride and Prejudice series is. The movie is all long looks and beautiful scenery. The show jumps on the concept of Elizabeth's family being intensely embarrassing and shows it. Constantly. All the time.

Tell me how I had a dream last night where I got to star in a movie alongside Zendaya and we had great chemistry on screen but every time I tried to talk to her outside of filming I kept embarrassing myself. IT WAS EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Post S4 and pre S6, snippets of Thomas Shelby's political career.

Ch 1: On the proposed Measure to Grant the Government Additional Powers to Seize the Children of Narrowboat Dwellers who fail to comply with compulsory School Attendence. A day very early in his career where junior Minister Thomas Shelby must defend the right of families to live together on narrowboats.

Writers notes for any interested (also in the tags):

Chapter 1 was drawn from a transcript of a similar argument tabled at Parliament in 1930 (?) I think and again over time (IIRC? read it a few months ago with some searing statements burned into my brain, flinching a little). The politicisation of the lifestyles of people who live and work on narrowboats has a very long and painful history.

I imagine the possibility of the rueful and somewhat bitter realisation when Tommy walks into Parliament to discover his (at that time unknown to any minister) very specific childhood the subject of heated political debate. That he doesn't necessarily want to defend that for personal reasons, but has to recognise that his life wasn't everyone's life, and also that cannot *not* defend that way of living because...well...the alternative he notes in his argument. The consequences of sweeping policy that is typically unconsidered.

I also imagine that suddenly having this in his face in Parliament at a time when he is least mentally stable, could feasibly have contributed further to the breakdown of those boundaries between his war trauma and childhood trauma -> this way in S5 his narrowboat references / childhood trauma references become that increasingly heavy shadow.
