Literally anyone: So how are you today? Me:

#bringing this back 6 years later!

[ritahanson]

my heart is so full. this show and the people who bring it to life are so special. i can’t overstate the impact it’s had on my life - the friends i’ve made because of it, the memories that only exist because of it, everything. i think i needed it back this year more than i really realised, until tonight. thankful for another london summer spent reliving a pennsylvania winter, and holding the knowledge that it won’t be another six years before i get to do it all over again very very close to my heart.

see you tomorrow for some actual writing, if i manage to stop bursting into tears if i think about it all ☀️

#mobile ooc.

[ritahanson]

psst. like this for a canon one-liner, which i'll get to at some point in the next few days while i finish revamping this blog. i've a feeling i'll need something to do to get through the grief after closing tomorrow!

#mobile ooc. #tbt. #starter call.

[ritahanson]

my little gang of enablers already knows this, but: i’m bringing this blog back. the brainrot has been insane since first preview, and it’s only gonna get worse. i’ve missed this show - and i’ve missed rita - so much. just gonna revamp things a little and then the writing will start again! ♥️

[ritahanson]

OOC  •   Just ducking in real quick to say that, in an effort to get to actually write Rita more frequently, I'm temporarily moving her over to my currently-being-revamped multimuse @lovehurried! I’ll continue stuff from here over there once I’ve got my pages etc redone :)

#ooc.

[ritahanson]

Get over here, Phil. Being part of the group also means being part of group hugs.

deartunny‌:

the newsroom (season 2) sentence starters. change pronouns as necessary!

Well, I don’t like to talk about it, but I know things. People have called it a gift, but it’s really more of a burden.

How much time do I have to formulate a comeback?

I make nerds look goooood.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t know you were gonna say it, but I was happy when you did.

I don’t want to go back to the way things were.

It’s only awkward because you want it to be.

Is it illegal? Yes. Is it immoral? You bet. Are we going to investigate it? Of course not.

I fear change and that should be respected.

A lot of better ideas are coming to me as I’m standing here, but why don’t we let the past be the past?

I’m able to hold as many as two thoughts in my head at once.

When you asked me why I was single and I said it was because you hadn’t asked me out… I thought it was my last day.

Honestly, it just sounded like a good line. I hardly ever land those.

I’ve got a 13-day streak going of being a good boyfriend.

You and I and God and everybody knows that.

Of course I’m upset. Are you kidding me? I’m flipping out! Holy shit. What the fuck did I do?

I used to be exactly the person that you wanted to see in these moments.

If there was a way to blame it on you, don’t you think I would have done that by now?

I’ll make you this promise: I’m gonna be with you all night. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be right here.

Don’t misunderstand, I was moved that your first instinct was to impress upon me how hard you tried to lie.

Soon they’ll surely be in hell, though not soon enough.

It’s literally impossible not to mock this.

I’d tell you to call me and let me know how it goes, but I’ve got you on Google Alert.

While those are sentences and everything, they’re not a plan.

I am. I’m blaming you for trying.

Would it mean anything if I told you that was a terrible idea?

I think you got home and for a minute, just a minute, you forgot that you were mad at me. You forgot for a minute that you’d made a pledge to be mad at me for the rest of your life.

Sometimes, you’re not as cute as you think you are.

Am I about to be murdered?

I thought they were really good except for the parts that weren’t.

Is there somebody inside you operating you with controls?

You don’t meet me halfway. You meet me the whole way.

We know the questions. Why aren’t we insisting on answers?

Let me start with a really tough question and I want you to take your time and think about it. Are you ready? What’s your name?

We are going to expel or dismiss or expunge the notion that I am damaged.

You think I’m disposed to doing you a favour?

You said this stunt wasn’t gonna fuck anything up.

I saw Titanic for the first time. You know how I am about sad movies and the title suggested it wasn’t gonna end well.

Do you see how things are worse than they were before?

I don’t know how to predict his behaviour anymore. Or yours.

You should enjoy me while I’m here, ‘cause as soon as I leave, so does the attention.

Do you know that or are you guessing?

I really do think tonight is one of those nights when you should just do everything I tell you to do.

I know this isn’t your fault, but I really do hate you anyway. I don’t care that it’s irrational. It is what it is. Tonight I root for your failure.

I’d give anything to feel rage. It’d trump the humiliation and I’d be able to get up.

I’m saying you don’t have a very high opinion of yourself and I don’t get it. You’re impressive.

The thing is, I’m afraid to sleep alone at night, so sometimes I go out.

I also don’t believe in Santa Claus, but if I saw eight reindeer take flight… 

Being afraid of her is just good common sense.

I am not unskilled in the ways of courtship.

I haven’t read the whole thing, but I read from page eight to—well, I’ve read most of page eight.

I can’t say anything that would make you feel worse than you do right now.

I need some kind of sign from you. I need an indication, some kind of indication, that you fully understand the stupidity of this.

What kind of ambition? Congress, Dancing With the Stars?

'Cause you wouldn’t make it in jail. I’d survive, but you wouldn’t. In fact, I’d thrive.

How much of what you’re saying do you believe right now?

Why so glum, sugarplum? 

You will resign when I fire you out of petty malice and not before.

One’s enjoyable to me and the other would cause a lot of pain. It’s not even a choice.

I know it’s your first time, so don’t worry that you’re going to be bad at this.

Is there an ancient grudge between your two families?

You know I’m in no mood to be fucked around with, right?

I’m alarmed by how little sleep you’ve had.

You look like you were grown in an environment where it’s dark and damp.

This is the worst situation you’ve ever faced in your life, right?

You know what, hon? Can I just say fuck you?

King George forgave America in less time than it’s taking you to forgive me.

I wish I were less aware of the reality. I’d like to be stupid right now.

I think it’s commendable and pretty shocking that you want to do something just because it’s the right thing to do, but it’s not the right thing to do.

Look at my face. Does it seem like I want to be sassed?

It’s funny the things people try to control when they feel like they’re not in control.

If I was joking, you’d be laughing. Are you laughing?

What if I keep talking in rhetorical questions until you just can’t take it anymore?

I’m agreeing. Do I have to be happy about it?

He hates me, but if I only worked with people who liked me, I’d have to make my dog a partner.

There are principles of… principle here.

Look, I don’t want to kick you when you’re down, but you haven’t had the most awesome history of being right lately.

If I hadn’t told you, you’d never have known.

Are you sure you’re not just a massive bag of douche?

I brutally hurt you and that’s a fact. And facts don’t change. But in my lifetime I’ve never done it intentionally.

I’m smart enough to know that I’m not smart enough.

There is hardly anyone who’s good enough for you, including, it turned out, me.

Is there anything that’ll convince you it wasn’t your fault?

There’s a difference between being tough and wanting to be.

I believe, except for the things we did wrong, we did everything right.

And the laundry list of embarrassing things? I’ve got to tell you, I’m not embarrassed.

Will you marry me? And let me just say I really think you should. I think you should say yes.

No matter what you say, I’m gonna be in love with you for the rest of my life. There’s no way out of that. That’s just a physical law of the universe.

STARTER CALL  •  Okay. Like this post (or comment if you have a sideblog / are a multimuse and want to specify a muse of yours) for a lyric starter. I’ll probably put my current ‘cheerful’ playlist on shuffle to get these, because God knows I could do with some lighthearted stuff!

[ritahanson]

OUT OF STICKY BUNS  •  So. Everything is a bit fucking awful, isn’t it?

Unless the advice from our useless government changes, I’m uhh... Self-isolating for 12 weeks because I’m in the high risk category due to some of my various medical issues, and we’re on lockdown for the next 3 weeks (minimum) anyway. So that’s fun. Between using this as an excuse to get ahead on work for my thesis / doing some other stuff I’ve been putting off, I’m also gonna try and be here (and on my other blogs) a little more often.

As a quick reminder, you can also find me on @lovehurried​ (multimuse), @sinnerbefore​ (Strat from Bat Out of Hell) and @iamyourhost​ (the Master of Ceremonies from Cabaret), and you can come chat / plot with me on D.iscord (i thought it was sensational#6207).

Please look after yourselves, step away from the news / social media if and when you need to, wash your damn hands and stop panic buying. Seriously though, I hope you’re all as okay as you possibly can be right now  ♥

Could you draw the scene at the end of Night Will Come from Groundhog Day where Ned and Phil find peace as friends between them? It's my favorite scene from the show.

Rita smiles softly. This kind of thing might not be all that familiar to her, but the empathy that the other woman’s words signify is, and that’s enough. “I wish more people followed your way of thinking.”
