Speaking of hobbies...

"Mary Martha Plummer and me started collecting coffin-plates at the same time but she soon got ahead of me...so many of her relation died, not to speak of her three children. She's got more coffin-plates than anyone in these parts. I didn't seem to have much luck but I've got a full mantelpiece at last. My cousin, Thomas Bates, was buried last week and I wanted his wife to give me the coffin-plate, but she had it buried with him. Said collecting coffin-plates was a relic of barbarism. She was a Hampson and the Hampsons were always odd. Well, where was I?"

Anne really could not tell Mrs. Mitchell where she was this time. The coffin-plates had dazed her."

Anne of Ingleside by L. M. Montgomery

i think there may be some enzo-pietro parallels?

#essay idea free to a good home #my brilliant friend #i am not trying to say pietro is anywhere as great as our angel enzo #just i feel the math competition/rock-throwing with lila and the whole... marriage blow-up with lenu #and the way their relationships improve after... #look pietro seems to actually give himself a cold hard look off-screen and becomes a better person in book 4 #i just can't think of another character off-hand who DOES pull off real self-improvement 💀 except maybe enzo. if he counts.

My Brilliant Friend 1.01

#they were cute for one (1) episode #but damn did they make the most of it <3 #my brilliant friend #was that the only time we saw her smile that episode? that and when the teacher praised her? #they really established everything we needed to know about elena greco from the get-go #she's weak for praise and she's weak for nino *fuckin'* sarratore. good luck kid you're gonna need it.

i think the most impressive thing about the adaptation is how it's handling the implicit commentary on education and on "writing" as a medium although it's visual and thus can't do some of the same unreliable-narrator stuff in the same way ferrante could in the books

i am still very curious to see how they will handle the end of the series but they've already shown they have the chops for it. i was particularly impressed how in the beginning, when Lenù starts to write, child-Lila gets up and walks away unnoticed. child-Lila was able to come to old-Lenù in the absence, in the shock and grief and confusion, but when Lenù fires up her computer she loses her. the scene in season 3 where Lenù reads Lila her article ("her" article) publishing Lila's experience in her own kinda pompous, overwrought voice and we just get a shot of Lila's tired blank expression, that was terrific. i am #okay. i am not going insane at all.

but seriously, i do trust that when we get to the series finale i am gonna be suitably destroyed. they know what tf they're doing.

#my brilliant friend #in a better timeline they just became runaway street artist lovers 😭 #fuck the mob. fuck the patriarchy. and fuck johannes gutenberg too ig. #i am also curious about the publication of the 'neighborhood' book in season 4 #i can't even remember how lila is supposed to have reacted to that

Fun fact: In 1963 John Lennon and Paul McCartney prevented nuclear fallout using the power of music and friendship.

I would KILL to be a fly on the wall in Megan Thee Stallions house. I would do anything to hear what she's saying on the phone right now.
