#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen chao #wang lingjiao #Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again. #They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two. #They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains. #And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge. #Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her. #She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness. #Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her. #I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless. #If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point. #WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant. #I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards #But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water. #Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb- #-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals. #Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.

Just thinking about this interview for no real reason at all right now...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #david tennant #soft scottish hipster gigolo #this feels oddly prophetic for some reason #mood: calculating maximum safe distance from Michael Sheen when the dam bursts #subtext that is rapidly becoming a text #i think Michael has been telling us exactly who he is for a long time now #the way David is looking at him #and the way Michael looks at him #they are perfect together your honor #ineffable lovers #gif by me

unfortunately this is just a mochi(tm) moment but lime is so muddled in feelings he absolutely cannot tell the difference..,..eventually it gets to a point where mochi will be brushing her hair or doing something very mundane and lime, watching her, will be like "Is this part of the tactics?"

#and shes like (NO!!!!!) #lime just slowly outting himself as a mochi simp #i wonder if she actually figures out that the reason he keeps saying (is this part of the tactics?) is because #whatever it is shes doing at the moment...he finds seductive

question. are the 'lotus eaters' from Jessica laws song Lotus eaters the nymphs? ik that if the song was kept in it would be in place of sirens but idk enough about greek mythology to really pick up on that that implies.

I kinda though so because lotus is frequently referenced as something Orpheus struggles with addiction to, aswell as presumably being big in the nymph scene/Dionysus's clientele, being so focused on pleasure.

(set at a party held by narcissus, Dionysus's most popular nymph)

also this line (government sponsored??? hmmmm)

#might just be me (who for some reason though lotus eaters was a song SUNG by Orpheus the first few times I heard it 😭 and so had him in #the front of my mind the whole time) #but also the vibe of the song feels very seductive. and the idea of letting go of outside troubles and matters of the word to loose yoursel #to the lotus/drug addiction. feels in line with the nymphs doubling as information extractors as well as pleasure workers #could be completely wrong tho and would just like to hear other ppls thoughts #esp since I know jack shit about greek myth 😭 #psii.txt #ulysses dies at dawn #jessica law #languid little lies #lotus eaters #udad Orpheus #udad narcissus #the mechanisms

my sister is reading the odyssey in literature and they have to memorize the prologue… i memorized the prologue too! in a different translation. so anytime she goes "sing to me of the man muse" i cut her off with "SING TO ME MUSE AND THROUGH ME TELL THE STORY—" i also did this two years ago when several of my friends were in that class. good times

#classicstober #odysseus #i don't even know what translation they are too be honest #but it just brings me such joy #same energy as when my friends were reading the canterbury tales #and the penguin classics version for SOME reason has a review describing it as an “easy and seductive translation” #so of course you know i bring up that quote every time the book is mentioned

So came I came across this repost from Al that a fan posted yesterday to which she reposted and to have her say and ad I much I can see she trying to defend ms with the radio getting his name wrong it a common thing for poor ms and I don't think this personally was the guys fault and I think they was reading from a script which I think most radio presenters have I think.

But the thing I noticed also was yes she was trying to defend her parter but also seems complaining that she and the children have to endure listening to the station in the car all the time and that like a another red flag like they literally have nothing in common and I'm still wondering why they still together. Cos I've noticed since michael been London he seems alot happier and heathly cos he closer to his best friend and beaming also. Can we have him stay permanently in London and not go bk to Wales in May.

What ur thoughts on this repost for Al I would to hear

(Grouping these together for ease of answering.)

I had this sent to me a little while ago and I'm...well, it takes a lot to floor me these days, especially in this fandom, but...I think this did it. Because there is so much going on here, and almost none of it is good.

On the surface, I know this very much looks like AL defending Michael, but I do not think that's what this was about at all. I think she saw BBC Radio 6 tagged in the original tweet and saw an opportunity to gain attention due to the proximity of a high-profile account. The way she did it, however, was by making something related to Michael about her. Again. And again, the wording of this retweet takes it from AL defending him to something else entirely.

Saying that she has to "endure" Michael listening to this radio show in the car is just a terrible look, as if listening to something he enjoys is so unbearably awful, and that she only puts up with because she's stuck in a car with him. It feels like she's literally complaining about Michael under the pretense of defending him, and I don't know how she (or anyone else) thinks this is okay.

The thing is, the whole "Martin Sheen" thing has become a running joke precisely because Michael has been dealing with this not just for his whole career, but his entire life. It's something he has frequently talked about, and I can imagine that it has been challenging on so many levels, but Michael also knows that Martin Sheen has been in the business for 60 years, and more than that, he is also a fan of Martin's. He's even talked about being introduced to him at a party years ago (I can't remember by whom, but Michael described the person as saying "Mr. President, meet Mr. Prime Minister"--referring to Martin and Michael's roles in The West Wing and The Queen, respectively).

So yes, the overarching point is that Michael doesn't blame Martin Sheen for these repeated mix-ups, and actually respects him as an actor and person. And when he has felt annoyed about this happening (as he did in 2020 when an ITV announcer called him the wrong name prior to a new episode of Quiz), Michael has had no problem calling it out himself on his own social media. Which speaks to your point @thetardisisblueandroseistoo about her trying to speak on Michael's behalf, and again doing a miserable job of it.

Also, what Michael hasn't done--and I suspect would be horrified at Anna doing--is go after the hosts of a show that he just appeared on yesterday. Particularly a show with hosts he is a tremendous fan of, as he spent a good portion of his appearance gushing about them and how much he enjoys listening to the show. I think he would more than understand the one host making this mistake--given his age and how much more embedded Martin Sheen is in pop culture--and would certainly exercise a lot more graciousness than to write a nasty tweet like the one AL did above.

That's the best way I can describe it: Shades of what we saw in the Insta story from last week, with that same self-aggrandizing, passive-aggressive (and now also kind of bitter) tone. There are a hundred other ways she could have responded to this, yet what she chose was to get in a dig at Michael, plus QT a fan tweet so that it could be misconstrued as her yelling at the fan. And again, in the cases where Michael has called out announcers or others for getting his name wrong, it's because he felt he deserved to have his name said correctly. In this case, however, it seems that AL wants the presenter to get Michael's name right because not doing so is an inconvenience to her.

Those were my impressions of AL's tweet, at any rate. All I can say is that from my perspective, if this was her attempting to defend Michael, it could not have been more backhanded. Glad to hear from my followers as well about your thoughts on this. Thanks for writing in! x

started playing disco elysium but instead of having a strategy mostly i've just been doing whatever's funniest. thus far i have failed to seduce the chick upstairs by boldly announcing "i want to have fuck with you," lied to kim repeatedly about having a handle on the investigation, pretended i know exactly who i am and what my name is, & given myself a massive head injury by sprinting away from the cafeteria manager in an attempt to skip out on the bill. also internalized a feminist agenda bc i'll skip out on my bar tab but i love women i guess. i have not yet gone outside or even viewed the body but i'm really painting a fond picture of who this complete fucking loser is. i will continue to make bad decisions as the game unfolds so. stay tuned i guess

#and if i die i die! #also for some reason i'm (as in my in-game character) convinced kim is my brother. #disco elysium #disco elysium liveblog #<-which i guess will be for posts related to my playthrough #when i failed the seduction thing rafi yelled 'OH GOD' and had to like go walk it off. their secondhand embarrassment was crippling while i #was HOWLING with laughter
