EMMA NAOMI as ALICE MONDRICH Bridgerton, Season 4

[hheartsdramas]

i just think it’s important for those interested to know that in the novel, what actually happens is:

He kissed each finger delicately, from the tip to the base, from the thumb to the pinkie, until finally he lightly chuckled and kissed the middle finger, the finger of the heart’s fire.

He Simu began to tremble slightly. This unfamiliar, moist sensation made her lose her composure, as if every limb was not her own, and what surged within her wasn’t blood, but perhaps lava.

Duan Xu lifted her and placed her on the wedding quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks. Once again, he kissed her deeply. This kiss felt different from before, it was sticky and lingering, warm and entwined, the scorching heat that transferred from one person’s body to hers, like a fire burning her, leaving her fingers restless.

He Simu’s fingers clasped tightly onto Duan Xu’s back, and she asked in a daze, “What is this?”

Duan Xu rested his forehead against hers and said, ” This is desire, longing, my highness”.

Your desire.

yeah the feeling she’s talking about is a tad lower than in her heart.

and then they fuck allllllllllllll night.

One of my pet peeves is when people describe cave-dwelling homo sapiens or even late hunter-gatherers with only names like 'grug' and 'ogg'. They're homo sapiens! They have the same brains and mouth and vocal cords that we do.

The earliest name we know from oral history is an Egyptian king named Iry-Hor, the earliest name we have written down is a Sumerian accountant called Kushim. The earliest known author is a Sumerian priestess named Enheduanna. Another name we have from that period is Enmebaragesi. I probably forgot some other beautiful names in this directly-from-wikipedia list. We can't look further back, but there is nothing to suggest that we were less capable of giving each other beautiful complex names.

Why does this matter? Because the idea that we as a species are constantly becoming superior is bullshit and is tied up closely with a lot of very harmful ideologies (capitalism, eugenics and fascism, to name a few). We're not becoming a superior species. We're passing on information and inventing more stuff and figuring out how to live longer, but those are social processes, they come from humans taking care of each other and valuing the preservation and free exchange of knowledge. They don't come from being fundamentally better than our ancestors, we're not.

This is true and you should say it.

one thing I respect the hell out of is little kids lying down on the floor in public. they have had ENOUGH and are ready to go HOME and are willing to be a HUGE INCONVENIENCE about it. we can learn so much from them

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

still thinking about how much WORSE running errands is for kids. they aren't even your errands! sure it sucks for adults, but kids are 1) forced to tag along, 2) no personal investment in the outcome, 3) get no say on location, duration, timing. a kid stuck in a grocery store aisle while their parent gossips with an acquaintance is a Hostage Situation. at the bare minimum hostages should be allowed to lie down and get some rest

[penpaladinjules]

My oldest kid was especially intolerant of extra bullshit during errands. He wanted a list of where we were going, and would get irate about new ones being added to the list after we started. He called this rule “No Secret Trips,” with special contempt reserved for the bank.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i think your kid should be put in charge of a major government agency. i want him ruling the FDIC with an iron fist. i want him usurping total control over the Department Of Motor Vehicles

fun things to slip into conversation include

“i’m kinda fucking w/ the fourth wall here but-”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“I’m only saying this for foreshadowing purposes”

[nienna14]

“this’ll make more sense when you meet your nemesis but-”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“shit that’s not in the script”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“i thought we cancelled this story arc”

[jelly-writings]

“Probably gonna rewrite this later so-”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“oof that’ll hit the ratings”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“that’s not gonna make it past the censors”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“i’m still amazed this project got greenlit”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“in this political climate???”

[hedgehogradio]

Crazy how 6 years later, the quirky inserts just became mainstream vernacular. Aint that right, chat?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

reality jumped the shark so bad the whole writer’s room got fired and now we’re all meta-aware

fave dynamic 😌

Tyson saying that they should call on someone stronger and more wise followed by Grover staring towards the ocean as the sound of the waves gets louder to imply Poseidon only for it to cut to Sally is sending me

Kronos is about to realize every single player on his chess board is obsessed with Annabeth Chase.

[livelovecaliforniadreams]

[mysoulbelongstobuckybarnes]

they're so cute together😭😭😭😭

[sufferingbooknerd]

The gods in S3 realizing that Annabeth Chase, who Poseidon’s son admitted that he’d “burn it all (Olympus) down” for, is missing and presumed dead

I personally believe maomao should become the doctor for the rear palace eventually (i adore the quack but hes... not the greatest doctor)

Like ive read up to light novel 15 and I find like her eventually taking over for the quack is the most logical thing
