The fact that Cressida compares Polin to Eros and Psyche, aka the Heart and the Head - but the tea is that Eros in the myth was supposed to make Psyche fall in love with someone but he instead fell in love with her himself because of how beautiful she was…
the goddess of timing once found us beguiling. are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these? peter, was she lying? do you just not want to? there was nowhere for me to stay. forgive me, peter, please know that i tried. it's time. the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.
crazy that Walt Disney just wanted to draw a rat and monopolise media corporations but now they spawned some neo pagan consumerist religion where they have to train staff specifically to detect and remove human ashes that are covertly spread in their parks
i really, really love how they're handling penelope and eloise's relationship in bridgerton - there isn't forgiveness yet, but the space left by the rupture in their friendship is all the more emphasized by how nothing can fill it. penelope gets the same treatment that eloise did by whistledown - she has to suffer a taste of her own medicine. eloise isn't cruel and she still cares for penelope. penelope completely understands eloise's anger. neither is vindictive; both are grieving; both yearn for each other more than anything else; and yet for all that, nothing is or will be the same between them again, and I think that in and of itself is a form of a betrayal, a "you were my person, and then you took yourself away from me."
Hats of to Alex Sharp for his performance as Will Downing in the Three Body Problem. Given the character arc, he could have run with the melodramatic but instead he made this character thoughtful, humorous and believable.
Can we talk about this woman? She is a sex positive weirdo on the spectrum that can cut someone's head off and still refuses to swear. She wants to be a polite neighbor but will shoot you full of poison if she has to. She will fuck this random Knight because she is locked in a room and bored, after giving a sex ed lesson to the same Knight.
She is delightfully surprising and it is wonderful.
