my mortal enemy that talentless charlatan sarah j maas does this thing that a lot of subpar writers do, where she doesn't write good and bad actions, she writes good and bad people. and it doesn't matter if one "good" character and one "bad" character do the same exact thing, or even if the good character does worse things, if the good character does it its a good action and if the bad character does it its a bad action. doesn't matter what the action actually is.
both the other characters and the narrative itself will condemn the things that the "bad" character does, proving that this is something that society in this world condemns, but those same exact characters, along with the narrative, will praise the "good" character for those exact same things. which is not only hypocritical, but also just shitty writing.

Finished watching this discussion about on stage chemistry/kissing/intimacy (which @hamish-linklater-btc posted on Instagram - thank you so much for finding/sharing!!) and it is so freaking fascinating to me.
Hamish has good thoughts and funny stories as usual, but to be honest I found the three women to be the most interesting to listen to, particularly Esther Perel, the woman in the middle, who is a couples/sexuality psychologist.
I kept pausing and going back to relisten to literally everything she said because every sentence blew my mind. (“In sexuality and in kissing lies two opposites, disgust and delight, depending on how it takes place.” “That’s why people go and find other lovers in the first place. Not so much because they’re looking for another person, they’re looking for another self.” And when she says something about how a long successful marriage is really like a series of different marriages with the same two people. Like 🤯. This woman’s brain is huge.) I’m now devouring a bunch of Esther’s articles and podcasts because she’s so incredibly good at articulating aspects of emotions and relationships that I know I’ve felt, but I’ve never known how to put into words.
Actors, writers, and psychologists talking about intimacy together is something I have craved because to me those three fields of study are so necessarily intertwined, but for some reason aren’t often brought together for discussions and things like this. I know people are worried about embarrassing themselves discussing it, or that they’re going to take the magic out of it and people won’t find the scenes as sexy to watch anymore....but the psychology of it!! Is so!! INTERESTING!!

heyy i have no details sadly, i just found a comment under an instagram post. but it was definitely more than 5 years ago that’s all i know
No worries! I’m curious now. Hopefully someone knows what you’re talking about. This is the only crazy sign I can think of at 0:41. 😂
And this one at 6:05. What’s going on in Brazil?! 😂

I am so excited for Ahsoka and have so much faith in Dave Filoni, but also I’m so scared because if Ahsoka isn’t good, this will probably be the last straw for me with Disney Star Wars. Like, if they ruin this I don’t know what I’ll do

For the first time (29yo) I listened to a podcast/serie in full English without any subtitles/scripts etc and I fully understood everything and realized they do this on purpose.
Now I want to listen more and I want to write sth with Harleen Quinzel (maybe The Joker) but I have so much to do before....
I recommend 100% 🖤❤️
