“What do you want to say to that little girl ? If she said to you that’s how she felt about herself, what would you tell her ?” “That she’s fine. That she’s perfect.”
Sharon Rooney by Otto Masters for Rollacoaster, Summer 2023
“I think, what Barbie’s taught me is that you can do anything and be everything because she’s a woman who – literally – does everything. I’d really love to write something of my own. I see how clever Greta is and how wonderful she is and such an amazing actress, but she also is a phenomenal director. And Margot [Robbie] as well, she's an outrageously brilliant actress, but she's also got a fantastic production company. Barbie’s been a brilliant job to be surrounded by people like that who are working so hard but are all just really good people. In summary, Barbie’s taught me a lot about just going for it and believing.”

It's TEN YEARS since the first episode of My Mad Fat Diary aired!
🎧📀📕🍻🍕🩱🎸🛵
Were you watching in the early days or did you discover it later (or even recently)?
If My Mad Fat Diary means something special to you, it'd be lovely to hear from you, either below or in an Ask. Memories of the show, favourite cast members, outfits, songs, or scenes, and the fanfics or fan art you loved.
When Finn told her, "I don't mind that you've got stuff. Everyone's got stuff, really." when he told her, "Once upon a time, in a disabled toilet far, far away, you asked me why I liked you, remember? It's because you're strong. You just don't know it yet."
Not sure if anyone is gonna care about this as much as I do, but I’m throwing it out into the MMFD Fandom ether here on Tumblr just in case.
So…Let’s discuss: My Mad Fat Diary character Zodiac Signs✨
I’ve done a bit of research (aka rewatching certain episodes lol) and some of their signs are confirmed:
Izzy is a Cancer (her birthday is near/on July 10th according to S1E1 when Rae meets the gang for the first time and Izzy is celebrating her 16th birthday at the pub)
Rae is a Sagittarius (she says this in S1E2)
Archie is an Aries (Rae says this in S1E2)
Chloe is a Scorpio/Sagittarius Cusp (her 17th birthday party in S2E5)
And I have a theories about what Finn and Chop might be but I can't recall if there’s ever been anything confirmed or any proof in the show...does anyone else have thoughts/theories or am I the only one that thinks about these types of things when I'm rewatching the show for the Nth time/reading or writing fanfic lol 🤪
