Need to speak my truth: no more shows where all the best ships are allegedly not like that. Whatever happened to like that. Bring back like that!!!

(And no I don’t mean the fast-sexual-burn explicitly romantic stuff we’re also getting inundated with. I mean the so devoted the lines blur secret menu item. The Mulder and Scully school of we have acted insane about each other for literal decades and yes it’s always been like that)

The way I am just not built for the summer in any capacity. My pasty skin turns to jerky if I am in direct sunlight for more than ten minutes. Any time I shave = instant rash. Having to bathe in sunscreen means perma acne, and all my clothes are ruined. My hair is so thick that every time I sweat my scalp turns into its own swampy eco-system (yum!), mosquitoes looooove to see me coming

Oh yeah, and the ‘tism means I am in constant fight or flight and I feel like I’m being slowly boiled alive any time I have to move or put real clothes. Don’t get me started on socks. SOCKS!!

Climate change take me out 🙏🏻 my northern european bog people genes were not supposed to withstand anything above 22C I swear to god

Did anyone else remotely register Jimmy’s “I’m not NOT his father” as maybe a subtle wink to the fact that Carmy may not actually be a Berzatto? Aka, may only be a half-sibling to Mikey and Nat?

I’ve had this theory for a little while, based on how different Carmy is in terms of age, temperament and looks to Mikey and Nat. As the only pasty ginger in my family (with a brother who was tanned with black hair) I’m well aware how genes work, but I just think it’s interesting to wonder — Mikey and Nat obv don’t really look alike either, but they have a similar enough thing going on that you could explain it by saying Nat takes after Donna and Mikey takes after Papa Berzatto (100% Donna and Natalie are naturally dark haired too though). Carmy being so clearly a very “late accident” baby makes me wonder too.

If you lined them all up and asked me blind, I’d be quicker to say that Carmy was Richie’s brother than Mikey or Nat. I don’t mean that as “omg maybe Carmy is secretly a Jerimovich” (Richie is very clearly a lone wolf in an absent family who have little to no relationship with the Berzattos), I just mean that Carmy really sticks out to me amongst the rest of them.

They’ve made all sorts of comments about the uncles sniffing around Donna (ew) and even having gone there before (double ew). Visually Carmy doesn’t not look like Uncle Bob Odenkirk. I also don’t think he really takes after Donna in terms of temperament, I think Richie just said that to hurt him. To me, he’s more like Jimmy if he’s like anyone. Interesting also that Jimmy and Lee take on a far more paternalistic role with Carmy than they do with any of the other “kids”.

Of course this could all just be because they feel responsible for the Berzattos after Papa Berzatto skipped out, and Carmy in particular cos he would’ve been so young. Jimmy might have just meant that comment as a “I’m the closest thing the kid has to a father”, but I think it’s fun to pick up on these possible crumbs because if that’s what he meant, he could’ve just said exactly that.

(I also don’t think it means anything beyond another subtle nod to the chaos of the Berzatto Extended Universe. If there is any truth to this, it’s clearly supposed to be ambiguous and we’re supposed to assume it could be Jimmy, Lee OR Papa B and not even they know which it is).

Binged all of season 5 of the bear yesterday morning and LOVED IT, for better or worse that is *my* show man

I have adored Richie ever since his season 1 scumbag days but Tina!!! Tina has my entire heart and her character development has been the true joy of the show for me. Liza Colón-Zayas is such a phenomenal actress, the way she conveys emotion is beautiful, the pathos 🤌 she’s also fucking hilarious, when she said “whatever happens, I’m your Jeff” to Sydney I was laughing and crying all at once.

I saw her and her husband just randomly on the street in London last year and the smol/tol vibes are so cute, she’s so tiny!

The only thing I didn’t fully jive with was the Hans Zimmer soundtrack, unfortch. Just gave slightly bland Apple Music focus playlist stressmode vibes and didn’t add anything for me. I think the soundtrack in previous seasons was perfect for conveying a sense of place and character, and gave the show an extra (slightly anachronistic) iconic stamp. I hear David Byrne’s warbling voice, or a self-indulgent Eddie Vedder needle-drop, and I know I’m locking in for sommmmme bullshit (affectionate).

I just went to go and see obsession on my own because my friend said she went to go and see it solo and she “really enjoyed” it and she told me to suck it up and be a big girl…… 😫 I am literally never listening to a word she says ever again

Like, it’s a brilliant and instant classic horror film, inde navarrette is immediately a scream queen hall of famer and I haven’t been this excited about a new film in a long time, and in several ways I’m SO glad I saw it but in millions of other ways… oh my fucking god I feel so sick and I’m so scared and no film has ever made my skin crawl like this before like I actually feel gross for just having watched that. My night is ruined, I’m so stressed.

But like

In a good way.

I really enjoyed it and if you haven’t seen it you should suck it up and be a big girl and go see it!

It’s the fact that it’s been 13 years, I’m hurtling towards 30 and STILL this is the quote that defines my life. My god.

I’m gonna come clean: I’m not finding the Pitt fandom to be a particularly enjoyable space to be in at the moment, and it’s made me go off the show a bit 🫤

I’m sorry if you followed me specifically for my semi-coherent Pitt-related ramblings, but I think I’m gonna start opening up the blog to some of my other TV and film interests (weirdly I was feeling a bit beholden to posting Pitt content, which I probably will still do if I find things I can engage happily with, but just not exclusively). I hope we can still find common ground!!

Declan and Cameron || Turns out we're a pretty good team

[crispychillipeanutsinoil]

also if I know one thing: declan o’hara and cameron cook need to team up and stamp out all these tory arseholes and then fuck incredibly nasty about it

[crispychillipeanutsinoil]

I can’t believe I’m watching a show about tories and crying at a beautiful, sweet and heart-wrenching love story played with complete seriousness and mastery by Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson, who have incredible chemistry together btw

[crispychillipeanutsinoil]

I’m obsessed with the little corner of the Pitt fandom that has imprinted on Abby Langdon for no real reason… I think about her all. the. time.

I think a lot about how everything we’re told about her is through other characters, and how much that can realistically say about her. Like, is Dana correctly assessing how put upon and weighed down she is at home… or is Dana interpreting all of this based on her own experiences

I think about “Abby wants a Birkin” and whether that’s legit the kind of person she is, or just Frank taking an off-handed comment and running with it to put more pressure on himself. (In my mind, she was watching Love Story one night and saw the way CBK hauls around her Birkin like a dirty Trader Joes tote, and said “god she’s so chic, I wish I could do that” and Langdon’s brain went !!!!!!! Abby wants a Birkin!!!!!!)

I wonder why the fuck she would have 2 children under 5, who were clearly born during COVID, with an adhd-riddled ER resident

I’ve even come up with an entire s3 arc for her in my head (I can share this properly in a separate post maybz).

Mostly I hope and I pray that when they do invariably introduce her, she is treated as a fully formed, nuanced person and not a long-suffering mother or an uptight fishwife

Annnnnnd I just want her to have agency in her own divorce ✌️
