If it’s premeditated correctly. If it’s just. Not because you’re upset.

i think one could make the argument that thoroughbreds is a loose loose lOOSE adaptation of hamlet. like. the bones are there.

#personal #thoroughbreds #hamlet #i’m reading the original thoroughbreds script and thinking thoughts #it’s like hamlet if hamlet were about two queer coded teenage girls who are just a little bit terrifying #but mostly very sad

HBO recently released a new video with mini-interviews with actors on green/black team. And do you know what conclusion we made? Our greens actors are so afraid to express their opinions and views on the actions of the characters that they begin to laugh them off, albeit in short phrases, and explain what we already know.

Just take a look:

Tom: “Why should Team Green be on the throne and not Team Black? My name is on the lease for the castle." (We know, Tom, how much you get hated, and we understand that this is all you can say in principle at such events).

Fabien: “I think it's more a loyalty thing for Cole. I think it's his loyalty to Alicent. He wants what she wants. I myself… no comments.” (I was already shy at the end, you are our sunshine).

Ewan: “Aemond, he was bullied and wronged as a kid. They carved his eye out. He bounced back. He put a sapphire gemstone in his eye. And yeah, they're gonna get what's coming to them.” (Here Ewan revealed what we've already...sort of...seen? Why do we need a summary of the events of the first season? Even the last encrypted phrase sounded without the connotation we needed, so that, obviously, God forbid, we put him against mailwife Daemon, against whom he is nothing).

Olivia: "We have bigger dragons." (Poor Olivia, she was hated, it seems, more than anyone else. She looks thinner and tighter. I really hope that we are wrong. They didn’t even say the words in using their party, just so as not to cause a storm of negativity, how dare this ungrateful person go against Rhaenyra!)

While the actors of the opposite side can afford to make too eloquent and provocative statements, it is clear that most of the normies will support them and begin to squeal with delight:

Steve: “Team Black should be on the throne instead of Team Green. Team Green are usurpers. Team Black are the rightful heirs. They were named by the King. They're just better looking, generally.” (Even green actors cannot afford to call their characters “legitimate” and make any comments in favor of the opposite side, but here there is just basic cringe. Everything we like).

Eve: “They're the best. And the annoying people are pretty obviously the Greens. They're all just a bunch of knobs, and they need their heads being knocked together." (No comments, right? Everything is clear here).

Harry: “Team Black are decent people. We are more of a functioning family. We do things the right way." (The funny thing is that the whole Dance is the struggle of ONE family. The fact that EVEN the actors divide both groups into TWO different families already says something, and we do not take this into account, as it is about the same persons in the scripts).

Phoebe: “I think we love each other way more. I think we have a family base that is incredible. (Yes, let's also compare who loves whom more).

Bethany: “Team Black are the most fun. We get on the most. They all hate each other. „You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on the throne“. (In the video, after the actress’s words, they accidentally removed Alicent and Aegon from the trailer, obviously, there was a visible emphasis on the fact that there is no love in the green family, and in general they watched without exception, but with their black maniacs, everything is cool with them).

Matt: “My uncle is a challenge I welcome. If he dares face me." No chance. I'm coming for his head. I'm gonna put it on a spike. Me and Rhaenyra, there's a bloodline to us, isn't there? We're the thoroughbreds." (Compare Ewan's lines with his. There is a big difference. Matt has the ability to say things like this to please the surviving fans, while Ewan does not, because all he gets in response is judgment, hate speech and swearing. And the phrase “We're the thoroughbreds” each time comes closer and closer to the name of H*tler with his “pure Aryan blood”, don’t blame me).

Emma: "We have madness on our side. And we have a powerful naval presence. Thanks to the Velaryon fleet." (Ok, do we need to remind you in what right and wrong ways the characters got it? Do the Velaryons themselves even know what the key is? However, Emma’s words carry disgust, like the words of her fellow actors, so she’s just a bun. Thanks for that too).

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to which side we present to get our ass kissed? The answer is obvious.

Ossan's love returns episode 1

alright. ossan's love has returned. time to watch and comment on this mess (derogatory & affectionate.)

for background: ossan's love was the first gay romcom to be aired on japanese mainstream tv, becoming an unexpected hit. it's wacky, it's stupid, it's chaotic, it's ridiculous, but it's also surprisingly heartfelt and did a lot for queer representation. if you can't handle ossan's love at its most chaotic (derogatory) you don't deserve it at its most chaotic (affectionate). i kinda love this show, but i kinda wouldn't recommend it to anyone haha. and now it has returned, with the original cast.

with that, let's proceed!

we start with a brawl at a gay wedding. sasuga desu.

thank god it was a dream. but unfortunately it was haruta's hatsuyume/first dream of the year and those dreams are said to predict the upcoming year lol.

they have a house together!!! domestic era woohoo.

narita airport :( i want to get better and go home. :(

okay haruta is already giving me an ulcer. shikkari shinasai yo!!!!

don't tell me maki won't show up until the end of the episode. D:

phew he's here. thank god. okaeri!!!

I appreciate takegawa's rainbow colour coded binders. and now he's on gay tinder at work. he got a match!!! i want that old man to find love in this season.

aksksdk i can't believe movie actor iura arata is on ossan's love.

okay that was funny.

this whole work life balance thing is a relatable storyline! japanese working culture u need to change.

loved this domestic fight. i like how they're having regular people problems.

hiring a housekeeper sounds pretty reasonable in this situation but knowing who the housekeeper will be i cannot recommend it lol.

bashauma ('work like a horse') cleaning service akjaskdsk

"you're a unicorn housekeeper?" askdkadkas the housekeeper ranks are unicorn, thoroughbred, carriage horse, and horse.

"chief, you're the highest rank!?" "kyoushuku degozaimasu." i'm crying...... this whole situation is pretty surreal which makes it so funny in that very japanese way.

their service plans are pegasus plan, yabusame plan (japanese horseback archery) and pony plan. i love this show actually.

ahsfkdfk this is so stupid. haruta u are so stupid.

"during this time he's changed from a chief to a unicorn."

"marriage is a long conversation." "what does that mean?" "don't ask me. nietzsche said it."

i know we all hate chief here but sometimes he says the right thing.

good!! scream your feelings into the trash can and keep them there chief.

they're so cute i can't deny it!!!

yare yo ryouta omg first name basis fucking finally!!!!

are the neighbours roommates or oh my god they were roommates.

next week's episode looks chaotic. i'm excited!!!!

first episode down, maki & haruta's newlywed night special episode left! let's see let's see.

i love them your honour

is this video even scripted because it feels like watching real people

you've heard of nnawakeneettsuuno, get ready for sonnano ato de ii daro. haruta may be a mess 99 percent of the time, but he sure knows how to say Something Hot in that remaining 1 percent lol

love how shy maki got because it actually is pretty weird & awkward to suddenly be in the same room again after doing long-distance

well that was cute!!!

verdict: genuinely loved it! the jokes are funny, the housekeeper situation is weird as hell but kinda brilliant. i like that maki & haruta are facing the same everyday problems many couples face with work, stress, time management etc. it seems to be gaga for those of you who don't speak japanese (i haven't seen the subs so i can't comment on them), but i don't know how well the humour translates if you aren't familiar with japanaese language or this genre of comedy, so i recommend it with reservations. it's a completely new story so you don't need to have watched the first season necessarily.

No substitute for experience

My first Tom Bennett x milf!reader smut (some slight Tom Bennett x reader's daughter sprinkled there)

If its a little wonky please remember i am asexual and writing this was already a feat in itself.

For @hoosbandewan and @elizarbell , who convinced me to do it

Cw: sex, power play, boss/employee dynamic, erotic asphyxiation, infidelity, younger man/older woman

Internet cookie to those who figure out who is the reader's husband.

Gif by @violaobanion

You are old enough to be his mother and yet that’s no issue for him.

He'd gotten a gig as your chauffeur and for the first time in his life he'd been eager to work. Before the first week had ended you’d given him a raise for his great service.

Tom’s been with plenty of girls, but now as he was shown how great sex was with an experienced woman, there was no way he was missing a single day of work.

The fine Bentley is the most common setting for your escapades, but the two of you have grown bold enough to fuck in the car garage, the stables where your husband kept his prized thoroughbreds and even the bed the two of you shared when he wasn’t away in London or your country estate in Birmingham.

Tom knew this was just a fling and would end once your business in Manchester ended, but there was something about you that drove him wild.

“You wished to speak to me, ma’am?” He plays the employee when he is ordered to your office by the housekeeper who does a great job of pretending she doesn’t know why you go through chauffeurs like he goes through packs of cigarettes.

You do not give anything away, dressed to kill and lips red as a bombshell as you play the stern lady of the house. You wear a tight number, something that put your best assets on display.

No one could touch you and live to tell the story, every one knew what your husband did besides politics.

He was playing with fire, but oh how good it felt even of it burned.

“I have had reports of your behavior with the maids, Bennett.” You try not to smirk and yet your eyes betray you as his do. You have the riding crop across your lap and the blonde miscreant knows he’s going to enjoy the punishment you dole out.

You like control, you have your husband wrapped around your finger and put the fear of god into anyone who dared to stand in your way.

If they put you in a room with Hitler, you’d put a stop to his nonsense with look.

“Just being friendly with Sarah and Alice, nothing serious.” He shrugs and adds, “Are you jealous, Y/N?”

You don’t know yet that he’s also been fooling around with your daughter, but for know he keeps his mouth shut. Tom didn’t want to lose the only job he's ever liked yet.

“Mrs. L/N.” you correct. You are Mrs. L/N when you play the boss and the chauffeur with him, but he’s come to enjoy going off script and making you lose your patience.

He knows he’s in for a spanking anyways, why not remind you he’s not one to keep his head down and bite his tongue?

You like his fire, you’ve told him yourself when he’d ravaged you after a visit from your husband.

Bet he can’t go on and on like this anymore, he’d said making use of his youthful vigor.

Oh, silly boy, there’s no substitute for experience, you’d said bopping his nose as of he were one of your children.

“How will you punish me, Mrs. L/N?” he asks taunting you with your own name and keeping himself defiant. “Will you spank me like a kid again?”

The fucking is always better when he provokes you.

“God, no, I’d hate to be predictable, Tommy.” You then asked him to join you on the fancy couches he’ll never afford in this lifetime.

You sit on his lap revealing nothing underneath your skirt, but you don’t let him touch you or even unbuckle his own belt.

“Only good boys get to touch me.” You playfully removed his hands from your waist before springing his cock free from its confines. “I have to teach you to obey, sweet boy.”

He doesn’t need much to be ready for you just as you were already fired up and ready to fuck before he even came into the room. You feel good, so good he thinks you aren’t going to punish him further.

“This doesn’t feel like a punishment, Y/N.” Tom groans lowly as you begin to ride him. He can’t touch you, but really its no hardship.

Your hands roam up his torso and settle on his neck. “Not yet, sweetheart.”

You have a wild and occasionally sadistic side to you, beside control you like inflicting pain onto your toys. Tom was no different and he bets every man and woman before him didn’t give a shit either.

“There is a Siberian prayer called Khlysty, where a priest would place their hands on your neck and give you the most wonderful ecstasy via strangulation.” You begin and waits for him to agree or refuse.

You only go as far as he allows and while the idea frightened him, he knows you wouldn’t hurt him or worse kill him.

He's in safe hands, literally.

“Russians always know where the fun is, don’t they?” Tom relaxed under her touch as the hands around his neck grew tighter.

But you don’t stop fucking yourself with him as if he were a toy and he fights the urge to touch you and return fire.

Feels damnably good. Better than anything so far.

And when he feels he can’t breathe anymore, when it begins to hurt despite the fact that he’s about to cum, you bring your lips to his ear and whisper the last thing he expected.

“Can my little girl make you cum like this, Bennett?” You let go and Tom unraveled in ways he’d never done before.

He's barely regained his ability to speak when he answers, “No substitute for experience, ma’am.”

[darlingshane]

After Carmy leaves the pantry, Mikey breaks down in tears and slaps himself in the face. Was that on the page?

A lot of it was scripted. It’s a real testament to Chris, who wrote the episode. When he leaves him there, 99.9 shows out of 100, as soon as Carmy leaves that pantry, you go with Carmy. To stay on Mikey and be with him, it defies so much of how we do television, in terms of perspective and whose point of view we’re really looking at. It’s a private moment with this character that we know doesn’t exist. They give him two — the moment that he’s sitting there waiting for him, suggesting that he’s feeling the buzz of the pills that he just took, but more importantly, afterward: They leave him there to sit in that pain, and to show it. That moment was understanding that this dream was never going to happen, this was never going to work because he knew where he was headed. He knew where he was going.

Opportunities like that are so unbelievably rare to give characters that private moment. I do think Chris wrote the slap. It was just so, so beautifully written and makes it makes the job super easy.

How did you create that tension with Bob Odenkirk, and what conversations were had before that?

The power of an ensemble, like the power of theater, is you look around that table and everybody is just a thoroughbred. The tension is created in the room. Every time we went and did it, it was completely different — a new person sort of popped up and did this new bubble of intensity or dread. It was super fucking tense in there, because everybody came to play and everybody really knows what they’re doing. And the material is so gorgeous.

With Bob, I’m such a huge fan of his. I thought it was just such a perfect choice. He was so down to come at me, and vice versa! When you have an environment like that, everyone is willing to be a little bit dangerous, because there’s so much trust. There’s so much love and everybody’s so dedicated. The goal starts to then be, OK, how can I shock this person? How can I scare this person? How can I do something that they’ll never expect? How can I lose myself within this? When you create an atmosphere that’s that unbelievably creative and that unbelievably safe, danger is not a hard thing to find. It was really fun! It was like great theater work, and it’s really rare.

How many times did you film that scene? I imagine it may be a bit exhausting.

I would do that all day. I don’t really get exhausted, that’s like a thrill for me. The show moves unbelievably fast. It’s a real testament to what this group has found: the conglomeration, the alchemy of these great artists with this great material. Last year, I had to shoot my stuff basically on my lunch break. They flew out to L.A. for me to shoot that scene. And they told me, “We move so fast.” I don’t think there was a single day that we were there for more than six hours. [Chris Storer] gets what he wants. He shoots it the right way. The crew is as good as I’ve ever worked with. Everyone is so unbelievably dialed in. The cameras are always moving. They’re totally alive.

You said every take was different. How much improv was there — was the table flip scripted? And what type of forks were you using?

They were kind of like plastic forks? Oh, the table flip definitely wasn’t scripted. But it’s still a testament to Chris. I was like, “Hey, man, you gotta let me kind of go crazy at least once!” I do a lot of action stuff and I’m aware of how big of a reset that it is, where the food is meticulously laid out and it’s so specific and is a character within itself. He definitely gave me the green light. It’s funny when you work with directors, especially in TV, because sometimes they’ll give you the green light, but then be like, “Just maybe save it ’til the end.” Chris was like, “Go do you.” I think the funnest thing for me really, in that scene, was to be off camera and just to keep that intensity, keep that fight going with Bob and see everybody else’s reaction. It was just such a joy to do.

I put on subtitles for some of my second watch, especially the scene with you, Ebon and Jeremy talking about Claire. Your one-liners were cracking me up. Did you say she’s a “basket of biscuits”?

Yeah, “all that and a basket of biscuits” is a Jon Bernthal D.C. line for me. That was definitely one that I threw in. When Chris is behind the monitor, they’re cheering you on, sometimes they’re yelling lines from behind the monitors. It’s this comedic, super dark, really, really authentic and honest world. There’s this air of anything can happen and let’s push it, come up with stuff and be really, really creative. And honor the moment. It really is the best way to work. And with Ebon, it’s such a natural conversation for us. We really found that scene on the day.

This is a bit off the normal focus of the blog (pretty pictures), but it's a bit of an interest of mine. Above is a chart of the number of thoroughbred foals born in Kentucky from different sire lines from 1999-2023. For example, the "In Reality" line shows the number of foals born by In Reality, or one of his sons, or one of his grandsons, etc.

It's striking how much the sire pool has narrowed to sons of Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer, and Nasrullah (GB) (mostly through A. P. Indy but also with the Uncle Mos). While the overall foal crop has been shrinking, these sirelines have stayed constant - the decline in foal crop has come mostly from the disappearance of other sire lines. I'm sure there are caveats to this and things I haven't considered. For one, this doesn't look at where a particular sireline might show up in broodmares. But the next generation of broodmares can only come for these sirelines, right? (I'm not a geneticist, so if someone knows more about this I'm genuinely curious to know). Also, this is as far back as the Jockey Club has posted breeding statistics on the internet, so I don't know the extent to which there were similar contractions in the past. (It is worth noting that Mr. Prospector, Hail to Reason, Nasrullah, and Northern Dancer are all male-line descendants of Phalaris, who was foaled in 1913)

From the In Reality line: Bal A Bali (BRZ): 7, and Tourist: 2 (as a fan of Man o' War this is sad for me, as this is probably the end of his male line)

From all other lines: Mucho Macho Man: 27, Runhappy: 107, Skipshot: 3

I have some python scripts to put these charts together so if anyone has more questions/things they want to see let me know and I'll see if I can put some more charts together.

thoroughbreds original play script is up online and i love that but i also neeeeed to look at the movie script to see if there was any allusions to acting/cinematography because holy shit. what a simple but extremely tight/detail oriented movie

#maybe it’s just bias from watching the movie first but i definitely prefer the movie #they added some scenes to pad it out that i think really helped #and changing tim from amanda’s cousin to just some creepy drug dealer guy is such a choice #giving us the scene where he meets amanda which is funny as shit #and the billionaires speech which is also so good #.txt #thoroughbreds #thoroughbreds 2017

[tibby]

Tibby how you pitch thoroughbreds to someone wkth zero prior knwowldge?like I know I tried it due to being overhwkmed with your posting but I want to pitch to someone who doesn't exist in the circles we do

like. on a filmmaking level it is just a genuinely well made movie. the acting (unsurprising that i find anya to be a gift in it but NOBODY does emotional repression and stuntedness the way olivia cooke does and man. what else is there to say about anton yelchin that hasn't been said?), the script is quick and clever, the editing is incredible, the score is *chef's kiss* and the cinematography perfectly encapsulates the vibe of opulent wealth but everything is slightly...off.

on a narrative level, it's just...a perfectly twisted love story in which there are no winners in the traditional sense, but nobody really loses either. like perhaps talking about it in tumblr speak is going against how to market it to someone outside of our circles but. thoroughbreds is ultimately a story about meeting the person who understands you in all the right ways, but also all the wrong ways. the person who will love you at your worst and know who you truly are, but who will also feed into your worst impulses and will push you to be the person you have tried so hard not to be. honesty and love and genuine understanding all come at a cost, and the cost is the person who is honest with you and loves you and genuinely understands you. it is a story about horrible teenage girls doing horrible things and not fully grasping the sacrifices they have to make until it's too late. privilege and power and self preservation protect lily but they are the things that make it impossible for her to find constant and true happiness, however fucked up it might be, with amanda.

thoroughbreds is witty and well made and showcases the great talent of several young actors and a crew that give it a unique and refreshing feel despite the ties to the likes of heathers. but it is also a love story in the worst way possible.

Saint Tail Retranslation — Episode 34: Let's Bring a Thoroughbred Home!

Script (Fonts): MEGA | Google Drive Translation notes for this episode (link leads to page with spoilers) Project page and more information

How to use: Put the subtitle file in the same folder as your video file and rename it to match the video’s file name (e.g. if the video is named “ST_01.mkv”, name the corresponding subtitle file “ST_01.ass”). If done correctly, players like SMPlayer, MPC-HC/MPC-BE, or VLC should automatically load the subtitles when you play the video. Since this is a raw script file, it doesn't come with embedded fonts, so while it should still show up fine on most computers, I recommend installing the fonts from here on your computer (if you don’t have them already) for best results.

The contents of this episode make me wonder where exactly in Japan Seika is and what kinds of cities the Limited Express K would stop at, as well as how this would work now that the Hokkaido Shinkansen exists. I wouldn’t say I’m a particular train enthusiast or anything, but I do think trains are pretty cool.

got my hands on the original Thoroughbreds script and this part..

#its so interesting how different the final version is #i think pretty much all the changes they made were the right decision but a few moments that they cut/edited were really good

[thundergrace]

Holy shit! Thoroughbreds was fucking awesome!!!

I was just throwing shit on, didn't expect to care. What a tight script! Very rare for this kinda plot and genre, it usually goes off the rails lol but this was really engaging and fun.

I would be surprised if the writer didn't do the thing where they start at the end and work backwards to figure how it makes sense to get there. Then again, that might be how it always works lol

I love the two main characters. They were complete opposites but worked so well.

The ending was just so good. It wasn't remarkable. It ended as it is predicted to end but I think again what I loved was simply that this was a straightforward story and script.

One character is described in the synopsis as a 'sociopath' but what's interesting is the discussion about her inconsistent diagnoses and at one point she's talking about being on new medication every week cause it's just not that simple

Anyway, no notes.

#added bonus? definitely a little gay #thoroughbreds

[tiktaalic]

hi!! i saw your posts abt thoroughbreds and i watched it for the first time recently and loved it!!! but i wanted to know your take on amanda’s decision to take the fall for lily. bc throughout the movie amanda is established as this “sociopath” who cant feel anything. but i feel that w that ending scene, amanda in the hospital looking at the picture of her and lily, it feels like though it was more than the logical conclusion for her to sacrifice her life so lily could excel in hers. she did it *for* lily. like the few things she did care about was lily, and horses lol. and i feel like lily is inherently selfish enough that it worked out perfectly for her to allow amanda to take the fall. also the scene were lily goes to an unconscious amanda all bloody for comfort is genius and made me insane. film of all time fr.

FILM OF ALL. TIME ! But yeah you got it in one Amanda DOES care she LOVES lily source the play script. Everybody read the play script. Two perfectly matching chiral halves but to like. The demon core where if they touch everybody dies of radiation poisoning. But they match and fit together perfectly! It just kills people that they do.

Thoughts on Thoroughbreds?

i like thoroughbreds, i didnt love it because mostly i just wanted it to go harder. anya taylor joy is never not serving and both girls are so good i love heartless bitch teen girls i just wish theyd made out and killed someone together yk. the script felt a little unfocused and it was a little too slow paced without enough payoff and anton yelchin stole the show as soon as he walked on screen but he was never not doing that kjdashfsdj; overall i think it belongs in the conversation about movies about fucked up young girls but its not one of my favorites

Put your favorite movie or director in my ask and I'll tell you what I think of it/them
