Mike Flannagan’s Sharp Objects Pitch: A reporter goes back to her hometown to investigate a murder and must stay with her estranged mother. They bond over the tragic death of her sister, which was no one’s fault because it was a ghost who targets innocent girls. Though initially hesitant, the reporter also builds the foundation of a new relationship with her youngest sister, the curious young Amma. Despite Amma’s happy childhood, she is now being haunted by the same ghost. The reporter and her mother must band together to save little Amma before it’s too late. In the end their mother sacrifices her own life to save them both and they see a vision of her dressed as Persephone keeping the ghost girls safe even in death, because a mother’s love is eternal

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

I know his tailor is stressed bro look at this man wearing a suit to fix a pothole

[overcastghostedghoul]

I bet he opens his closet to the same suits with some slightly different ties like SpongeBob.

[lizluvscupcakes]

I bet if he took off his suit there’d be a suit underneath

The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

[unfuckablebogtroll]

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

"you only like her because shes a woman" yup "you let female characters get away with too much" yes "if a man did this you would hate him for it" indeed

It kind of irks me when people talk about Li Zhi like he's such a sweet and meek person and that's it. Like, no, that's a master manipulator and actor and he got you too.

Li Zhi was literally the one who orchestrated Li Tai's plan to depose the Crown Prince. (Li Zhi's bodyguard asked if they should dispose Chen Xin, which means that Chen Zin knows Li Zhi's hand in all this. Further, Chen Xin going back to the Crown Prince to tell him of Li Tai's role literally doesn't make sense unless Chen Xin had a powerful backer that could sneak him in + could benefit from the Crown Prince wanting revenge on Li Tai.) Li Zhi did this without Li Tai even realizing it.

Li Zhi is constantly calculating and thinking about how to use people. When he learnt that Gaoyang and Yuanzhao were going to the burning temple to save Bianji, he still had the presence of mind to order that this info be leaked to Li Tai, because he knew Li Tai would definitely come to save Yuanzhao too. This is someone who's used to thinking about all sorts of possibilities at all sorts of times. He's an instinctual schemer.

Quite frankly, the reason why Li Zhi doesn't have as many dramatic scenes with Yuanzhao as compared to Li Tai is because:

Li Zhi simply would never get caught in a dramatic situation where he would kill a general in front of witnesses to save Yuanzhao. His style is to do things from the background, via indirect methods. The most Li Zhi has put himself on the line for Yuanzhao was to use his own marriage as a bargaining chip. (Which, don't get me wrong, is still a pretty big deal, but it doesn't run the risk of being stripped of your role. And still benefits Li Zhi politically.)

Li Zhi has way too much control over his composure to do the thing Li Tai does where he obviously smiles and loses his cool and then tries to shut that down and act cool. And also Li Zhi whole persona doesn't involve acting cool and impervious in the first place -- it's quite the opposite really. (He clearly acts dumb and guileless in front of everyone who isn't his bodyguard.) So when Li Zhi does get flustered by Yuanzhao, the contrast with his usual self is not as glaring and dramatic.

[adagalore]

That's exactly it op. People's misunderstanding of him is pretty much this meme

Li Zhi is the 9th son and way down the line of succession. He's clearing using his feigned lack of interest in power and nice guy persona as a survival tactic but Li Tai still tries to kill him anyway. When he learns he's behind the assassination at the hunt he locks in and gains support of Zhangsun Wuji to make a clear bid for the throne. And in the end it works! He also clearly knows that becoming Emperor is also a way he can be with Yuanzhao.

He's skilled and cunning always observing others around him and it saddens me that people don't notice that and think he's "too soft" or whatever. I happen to like my Machiavellian prince who is also a kind supportive love interest

whenever i see a post about someone wondering how an  asexual and a sexual can be in a healthy relationship there’s always someone being applauded for saying well asexuals can have sex too or just because someone’s asexual doesn’t mean they won’t have sex but i have never, not once, EVER seen someone say well hey, some sexuals don’t have sex. you can have a full relationship without sex. just throwing it out there

[applesandbannas747]

Everyone in the notes saying polyamory and open relationships are great fixes for this too are missing the point. Ace people can have sex—and, yes, some enjoy sex. Yes, open relationships can be loving and healthy for ace people too. But ultimately you’re saying asexuality needs to be fixed by access to sex somehow. To quote op ‘you can have a full relationship without sex’. Your suggestion to find sex outside of the relationship with an ace partner completely misses that point.

sorry but you’re not hiding this in the tags:

#it may be surprising to learn this. but allos can choose to be celibate. famously there are entire religious orders where this is a thing #and a catholic nun who stays celibate her whole life can in fact still have a very full and meaningful life with important relationships #it’s not the end of the fucking world #there are people who don’t drive too. there are people who have never seen a mountain. there are people who don’t play video games. #human experience is too wide to be like ohh if you never do This One Thing then you are sufferinggg like chill maybe
