never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

And I like the name.

“Rose Apothecary,” you know, it’s just pretentious enough.

Patrick’s face: “I’m gonna marry this man and love him forever.”

Couple + Sibling/relative third wheel is honestly an S-tier trio dynamic and I wish we saw more of this in media.

"You are my soulmate. We are forged together by battle and tears and love. Also my brother's coming along."

"Yo."

Bonus points if the non-related half of the couple is just as committed to keeping the third wheel around as the related half.

"Isn't it weird that your brother in law is always hanging around?"

"You've got a problem with Andrew?"

i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.

Okay because it's topical

In college I was walking home throught the library and I saw a flier on the wall for a class called "the American Musical"

And I thought WOW! I don't have room in my courseload, but I should audit that!

And I kept reading and it said taught by Miriam Ellis

And I thought WOW! My favorite French teacher! No way! This is gonna be awesome!

And I kept reading and it said and John Dizikes

And I thought WOW! He has buildings named after him! This is gonna be a big deal!

And I kept reading and it said and Tom Lehrer

And I didn't think WOW! I thought BUH!!! And I thought no.... unless...? And either way I was going to be at that class

So I left the library in this sort of dazed cloud of euphoria, and at roughly the same moment this older gentleman was puttering out towards his car, wearing a Greek Fisherman's Cap. And at that point in my life I was deeply into Greek Fisherman's Caps and, as I mentioned, feeling unwonted beneficence towards all mankind. So I was like "hey man! I love your hat!"

And he said "yours too! Very Fiddler in the Roof. " And ambled off singing "If I were a Rich Man"

And I thought WOW! What a fun guy! Santa Cruz people amirite? And tomorrow I get to meet Tom Lehrer!

And so the next day I go to the class and would you know it? The sweet older gentleman from the library is there too, sitting in one of the desks. I wave at him, he waves at me, and I look around wondering if I'm gonna recognize Tom Lehrer when he walks in. But the room fills up with students and no one I think could be him -

And then my buddy from last night gets up and starts teaching the class

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Alex Horne says, "You hold up the paddle which says either 'float' or 'not float'." Holding a round paddle with text on it, Jack Dee asks, "Why doesn't it say 'sink' instead of 'not float'?" Alex says, "We printed them before remembering there was the opposite of float." End ID.]

Taskmaster is legitimately the best show ever like. Five comedians compete for zero money and minimal prestige, which means they're all there to have fun and cause chaos and you can tell that theyre all enjoying it. The two hosts have a weird psychosocial bdsm dynamic and they make it everyone's problem and they both actively consent to it and enjoy it. They have fancy chairs and a house on a golf course that get destroyed regularly. Everyone embarrasses themselves and has a great time doing it. The host whos the "sub" and regularly gets verbally and at times physically abused by every single person on the show organizes everything including a large portion of the abuse. They put every single episode for free on youtube along with lots of bonus content so that every single person can watch it. They have a ton of memes and references and Easter eggs hidden all around but it doesnt limit your enjoyment if you miss something. You find yourself rooting for a special little guy but its equally fun when your special little guy looses. You can pop it on in the background and tune in when you see something funny and laugh but it also makes great background noise. They even have a cow.
