And then! There was talking! Mary and Stede talking about what falling in love is like [hearteyes]
THE TALKING
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Thrive to spite them
I did not end up watching all of OFMD before the free trial ran out , actually it runs out tomorrow but I went a head and cancelled while I could remember.
I want to watch it but there was still a lot of watch from the hall kind of stuff for me. I think I'm going to wait and see what happens with the discovery merger. I did watch some of Gentleman Jack as well and look forward to continuing that.
I'm trying to be smart about my subscriptions and what I'm watching.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sigh. We just finished watching it and I'll be joining Kate over on the heart eyes emoji seat. That kiss between Ed and Stede just broke my heart open--I'm one of those weirdos who isn't especially interested in slash or the visuals of hot anyone-on-anyone action, but oh how I love a couple with a long slow emotionally-fraught resonant yearning backstory and a sweet first kiss, and this was all of that and then some. It was so sweet, and so tender, and so earned.
(But also Jim and Oluwande, and how when Black Pete fumbled over the prosthetic finger, muttering, "I whittled it, it's stupid, you don't have to wear it," Lucius swooped in with a reassuring little kiss and "No, I love it." Oh, my heart!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Right? All the sweetness and queerness is just lovely and the kind of historical accuracy I care about

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That scene is going to live in my heart forever. All of the production choices that were made to culminate in that perfect moment.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
For a week or so after the finale, I watched that scene every night before going to bed. I just needed to see that love and openness and tenderness again and again.

Oh my god, was it ever. And yet it's so bittersweet too, seeing Stede so hesitant and uncertain over the plan to run away to China, especially when Ed can't see his hesitation and is all full speed ahead. And knowing what happens after... it's really almost too much for my poor heart to take.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other news, I just watched this Ted Lasso vid by Nestra, and now I'm going to have to rewatch it. [link]

That was lovely! And now I'm all anxious about the next season of Ted Lasso.
Also, I don't know to whom I need to submit this request, but I would like to request an OFMD vid to "I'm The Man Who Murdered Love." Who's in charge of that?
