I’d be mean too if I was eating underripe bananas like that

[celisconfused]

I’m 30 seconds in and I’ve squealed twice!

Just one more thing for today, it’s been a while since I’ve been properly active and some things have changed! Just letting my blog reflect that

Ted Lasso Home: A Costume Breakdown!

I kinda didn't think I'd go back to doing these, but here I am 3 years later, living in a different time zone with an honestly quite boring job. I could use some spice and Keeley and Rebecca came to Kansas dressed as Glinda and Dorothy so here we are. This might just be me fangirling over the costumes for a week but I'm curious what language established the first seasons changes and what stays.

Starting off with Dorothy and Glinda, for a show prone to Wizard of Oz references, this really balanced well. and of coarse Dorothy is in black and white, she's in Kansas! My parents are convinced Higgins is dresses as a Munchkin? I'll let you decide on that, dear reader.

It does bring an interesting view on this line though. Changed your favorite color to green you say? How very Emerald City of you?

A shout out to the stains. Costume Department, you've killed it, whether this is dye work or just bbq sauce you've really nailed it.

Ok, but I actually have a grievance about the soccer game. Ted and Michelle have both changed since the mid-work-day meeting with the principal. They are going to Henry's soccer game and not wearing like team colors or anything? REBECCA has a hat for Henry's team?! Which is probably on loan from one of them but seriously what is this red. And Ted has his bbq t-shirt but Ya, Ted's heart really isn't in this.

And of course I need to talk about:

I love how they didn't show us the back of the jacket until the very end. I love Rebecca's fast decent into midwestern style. Chef's kiss.

Can you believe it's actually Ted Lasso season 4 time?! And not only that, but there's been whispers that we're going to see our favourite beloved ex-journalist Trent Crimm again. Dive back into it all with Lou and Balth, from Casablanca to haircuts, from Midlake to meta moments about podcasts.

Surprise, we're back! We missed you guys, Trent Crimm and our chats and we hope you did too. Here's to a new season of the Crimmcast!

[celisconfused]

It made me so excited to see the notification from my podcast app this morning. Watching this fandom reconstitute has me emotional.

[celisconfused]

I have chosen for the record to go into season 4 of Ted Lasso with a “curious not judgmental” attitude. But more than that an extremely optimistic one. I believe in believe! I believe Ted Lasso is a good show!

Happy season 4 premiere! Get ready for me to be insufferable!

I think I have whatever the opposite of gifted kid burnout is.

I was a deeply average to below average child that no one really expected anything out of, but I went to college and figured out what I liked and was good at and I was the best at something for the first time in my life. And after I got to keep doing that and I was still one of the best so I got promoted into a new role. And now I am deeply average at this new role and I miss being the best, but also I get frustrated because being average at things used to not bother me as much.

And to top it off, to get the new role I moved across the country away from everyone who remembers I’m the best, so maybe I’m just a fraud.

Anyway…that’s what it looks like inside the brain of a Leo…

I’ve got his Project Hail Mary head cannon going that it was actually easier to get heroin for Ilyukhina than Grace’s ADHD meds. Eva had to buy them off 3 college students and 1 high schooler. Even then she only ended up with 37 days.

Grace: so… um… in the next couple of days I might be more distracted than usual. And that’s just how I’m going to be from now on… Rocky: Grace not sleep question? Grace sick question? Grace: No, no, I mean kinda, but no! Rocky: Oh Grace is...need word. Eridians have time when they stop laying eggs, get cranky, very distracted. Grace: MENOPAUSE?! No Rocky I'm not that old yet and besides- Rocky: Humans have short short life, short short mating period. Rocky help Grace with menopause.

I’ve realized I have a troubling amount of Dustin epilogue headcannons that all conflict so bear with me:

On one hand: Dustin is a Midwest boy and anyone who says you can’t do big things from Indiana clearly didn’t help build the internet like Dustin did. Basically he moved to Indianapolis mostly for convenience because he’s constantly flying out for conferences but he and some college buddies built some really famous and enormously popular video game and made infinite money and he could live anywhere in the world but he chose Indiana. He once used his Midwest gaming connections to set up a dinner with Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson and he told them the whole story of Hawkins, NDAs be damned.

Alternatively: The Bay Area kid inside of me who knew about a thousand grown up Dustin Hendersons growing up wants him to experience the Silicon Valley golden age so bad. He moves there in the early 90s straight from MIT or Georgia Tech or something. He does run into Susie out there and they don’t get back together, but it is the valley’s worst kept secret that they dated in middle school. He’s now one of the Silicon Valley dad’s who didn’t get in it for the money but because he truly loves computers and doesn’t care about his kids grades as long as their learning.

But really: I think would have just become Adam Savage. He ended up in the Bay Area making props for Star Wars movies (already his dream) and then for Jamie Hyneman and they start making a little show called Mythbusters. Dustin teaches science and engineering to millions and eventually gets to build the world’s most impressive workshop and share his builds on YouTube. (Unclear what happened to the real Adam Savage in the universe, maybe they share a shop and a YouTube channel?)

This is my love letter to Dustin I will miss him, but I’ve got a lot of people in my life who will keep reminding me of him.

You guys! Robin gets to listen to the indigo girls! That’s all I wanted, was for Robin Buckley to live long enough to listen to the Indigo Girls

Tonight’s episode may well be the straw that broke the camel’s back and got me to never open tiktok again. Here people are civil. I don’t want to know what they are saying. Let me be blissfully ignorant.

Like do you know how fucked your fandom has to be for tumblr to be the civil part?!?!?!?

Let two consenting adults have a fun night together jfc

I broke my promise almost immediately and went back on the devil app. My main take away is that Aisha Hinds should be directing every single episode. It’s bringing the fandom together.

Like I’ve still seen some very stupid takes, it’s so much less than I thought

[celisconfused]

I would however like to talk about Ravi’s POV of this episode:

1. Boss keeps calling you your old coworker’s name.

2. Find out your boss’s mom is some kind of famous faith healer?!

3. Coworker who once chased you with a chainsaw is being weirdly nice to you and is clearly trying to replace old coworker with you.

4. You give in and go out to drinks with coworker. Coworker will not shut up about his bff. He’s also drinking way more than you were planning for.

5. You run into your coworker’s ex at the bar.

6. You bring your coworker’s ex over to your coworker.

7. You leave.

8. You go to help an old man who fell in his garden and his wife rises up out of the flower bed.

What a wild week with wild choices

Hey, Question for the class?

Has anyone else noticed that Steve Harrington and Nick Nelson have the same poster in their rooms? I feel like I cannot possibly be the first person to notice this.

Ok so there not like exactly the same and I don't know enough about cars to even tell you if this is significant. Is this a boy thing? Is this a bisexual thing?
