"I know exactly what it's like to be a damaged and grieving woman bringing up a baby. And I passed that damage on to you, Harry. But the damage can stop now. If Vera stays here, the damage stops now."

LESLEY MANVILLE at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (15 December 2025)

[imavampiresmile]

actually it’s very sexy and GOAT-ed and justified of Lesley Manville to be upset/ angry at disrespectful audience members who take photos of curtain call

in the words of Florence Welch, ‘put down your screen!’

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart
