Hi where can I watch Desperate Romantics? I definitely want to watch it for the plot and not for Peter Sandys-Clarke
Lucky for you the plot is simple, it's pretty boys painting pretty girls while hiding their deep homosexual feelings...okay that's a joke.
It's actually a fictional telling of the lives of the Pre-Raphalite Brotherhood set in London as they seek fame and to revolutionise the art world.
It's six episodes, one hour long each. Peter Sandys-Clarke is only in the last two of this series but is the most likeable male in it.
It's currently available to buy on Amazon, and you can get the DVD from CEX for £2.50.
But you can watch it currently on Dailymotion, Youtube and Flixtor (thanks @spineless-lobster)
I've also made a drive with all the episodes here (UPDATE: my dumbass only realised the first half is on here so will need to do this again....) so if those links ever go down the show can still be watched
Btw this show has some nudity and like...not the best treatment of women...but it's a fun show and an interesting watch

to me, bi-generation just sounds like a word for generating bisexuals. which coincidentally is also what happened

wish the DnD movie had Edgin lie about his backstory, which is literally what I thought was the case until like an hour into the film when I was like "oh my god they're serious", and also wish that Simon (who I do like as a character) gave up one of his two personal development plots so that the druid (whose name I'm truly incapable of remembering because she is never allowed to influence the narrative in the slightest outside of becoming animals when needed) could have a single personal development plot, and also I wish all the laziest writing choices weren't all piled on female characters. Except Holga, who rules. I have no complaints about Holga. I love Holga. But also it's 2023, we don't need a dead wife who smiles at you from underneath your white bedsheets and who died because of her husband's mistake and is also not resurrected by her husband by his choice. Like clearly Holga is the person who should have been resurrected in that scene, resurrected Dead Wife would have been a wild narrative choice, but it really does finish her arc as Woman Who Exists Solely For Chris Pine's Character. All fiction backstory wives know how to do is have baby, keep house, make ham-fisted metaphors extremely clear in case the audience has never seen a film before, and lie (dead on the ground, gently stabbed yet smiling peacefully at her husband).
And this was all so avoidable because Edgin the Bard should have been Extremely Divorced. That's the backstory he clearly was supposed to have. The heist is for child support.

Remember when I pitched the concept of Chuuya developing a fear of lightning/electricity after the events of Storm Bringer and the Dragon's Head Conflict?
Thunder doesn't bother him, he deals with loud noises on the daily. No, it's the lightning itself that gets to him.
So obviously the solution is to close his eyes and wait for the storm to pass while berating himself because he should be better than this.
