Okay but what is vale’s reaction to the motogp Instagram account posting that in the forced coming out au. Internally I mean. Does he do his best to ignore it? Is he so deep in denial that he’s patting himself on the back for being a good actor? What narrative is he building in his head?
coming down on jorge lorenzo (decidedly winning the idgaf war in all years) sending it to him and vale externally commenting two little love hearts and @ ing marc's insta publicly BUT also internally being like. im gonna have to run away to some uninhabited island in the mediterranean and live in exile like napoleon this sucks so bad

I've been creeping around some old posts like a... creeper. Anyway, your tag game is seriously everything! What you wrote about the appeal of 'big daddy era' Elvis, the juxtaposition between being and seeming, the longing but not feeling deserving, the creeping horror that his vulnerabilities are getting harder to hide... My god, you had me by the heart! After so many years, I don't tend to cry over the tragedy of that man, my sorrow and empathy have healed into a hard callus and I veer round it because it feels like picking at a sucking wound, but you cut me back open in such a beautiful heartfelt way!
All this to say, I could read your thoughts and discourse all day.
🥰🥰🥰 hELLO JADE??????? stoppp ittt i can't take any more of this you have me giggling and blushing already !! and this praise coming from YOU of all people.. Oh Help 😩💘 even as i was writing those tags i was thinking i couldn't quite articulate everything i meant to properly, so to hear that it came out not only coherent but resonant, and Especially with such an accomplished bde writer as yourself is praise of the highest order.!
the funny thing is, just minutes before i saw this ask i was rereading ch 3 of an enjoyable slide to oblivion and thinking "that'S IT !!! that's exactly what i was talking about !!!" 🤭 chancy being repeatedly struck by how different elvis is from the man she once knew, the way she sees peeks of his "real" self under the persona but then second-guesses herself and wonders which one is more truthful, if either.??? it's EXACTLY the kind of complicated relationship w image i was trying to describe.!! 🤩
of course, elvis in all his eras serves as a beautiful mess of contradictions- masculine yet feminine, innocent yet salacious, clever yet naive, cocky yet needy, bossy yet pleading, larger-than-life yet lonely, personable yet introspective... but by far my favorite way to explore this complicated nature is through the lens of the mid-to-late 70s. it's the time when the most negative parts of his personality are out in full force, and yet it's also the time during which it's most apparent that he was desperately in need of a care and affection he wasn't getting. even elvis at his worst is still impossible not to love, and that always really speaks to me.!

it's eleven in the morning on a rainy day. i'm sitting in my mom's old rocking chair in the guest room. i look over my laptop and i see my girlfriend lying in bed, asleep. it's raining outside. we are planning to stay indoors and lounge around. i'm twenty-nine years old, on the cusp of thirty, and i'm in love and my love is asleep in my old bed and wrapped in my bedsheets. life is good.

People struggling is not click-bait. It is not trailer material. It is not filming material. Especially when you have made every task nigh impossible to complete with insufficient time requirements, ludicrous expectations and pitiful support otherwise.
Have the human decency to stop shoving your flipping camera in their faces and capturing vulnerable moments. They have a right to privacy.
Just because this competition features real people, does not mean you can profit off of their every moment. They are not tools of endless exploitation.
People struggling, hurting and their mental health suffering is NOT ENTERTAINMENT.
It is absolutely not the reason I watch Bake Off.
Respect your bakers!

You know, not enough people on here are talking about the conversational parallels between the apple cart scene between Katya and Sofia and the bridge scene between Goncharov and Andrei. Yes, the soundtrack's motif is there in both the bridge scene and the clocktower shots, so obviously that's what people are going to focus on; but there's something rather substantial to be said about the parallels between the apple cart scene- something which is widely agreed upon to be one of the most blatantly homoerotic scenes in the entire film- and one of the most impactful and revealing character moments in the narrative.
In these scenes, one character truly expresses their desire (although not explicitly in a sexual or romantic way (although with the surrounding subtext and the context from the rest of the plot it's hard to deny their meanings)) for the other. The twist about this, however, is that they play opposite roles in the narrative. Sofia orbits Katya, having such a fierce allegiance towards the woman that she would do anything for her, even stand up against Katya's mafia don of a husband. Goncharov is obsessed with Andrei, toxically so, to the point where he goes so far as to ensnare him in every little thing to keep him close, even as Andrei attempts to distance himself from fear of their operation going south (as it does after the betrayal; this film truly has one of the best depictions of narrative foreshadowing and cyclical narratives I've seen from films of the period.)
Their partners are both enthralled by the others declarations, but in opposite directions. Katya takes their conversation as a means to go through with her plan, as she has the reassurance of one of her closest confidants. Andrei, on the other hand, asserts that he must stick with Goncharov in order to survive, thus falling further into the bond that they share (and further dooming himself, in turn).
In short, these scenes just show so much thought into character relationships and bonds and it's a shame that so many people do not see the many similarities that they share.
