ONE DAY

↳book > screen 

“If you muck me about, Dexter.” “I won’t-“ “I mean it, if you lead me on or let me down or go behind my back, I will murder you. I swear to God, I will eat your heart.” 

“I won’t do that, Em.” “You won’t?” “I swear, I won’t.” 

And then she frowned, and shook her head, then put her arms around him once more, pressing her face into his shoulder, making a noise that sounded almost like rage. “What’s up?” he asked. “Nothing. Oh, nothing. Just…” She looked up at him. “I thought I’d finally got rid of you.” “I don’t think you can,” he said.

LUCREZIA & CESARE BORGIA THE BORGIAS — 3.10: The Prince

[foxesinbreeches]

“I love you: body shared, undivided. Neither you nor I severed. There is no need for blood shed between us. No need for a wound to remind us that blood exists. It flows within us, from us. Blood is familiar, close.”

Industry S4.02 "The Commander and The Grey Lady"

[kory-dany]

was very scared they were just milking the story of one day and that the musical would fail, but very happy to say it was really good 😁

the gulf between how genuinely progressive and forward thinking the franchaela storyline is compared to the rest of the show and ESPECIALLY what they're doing with eloise is kind of comical. like one minute we're doing delicately written subtext that sensitively addresses the self-blame a lesbian may feel compounded on top of the self-blame from her infertility issues for not being able to be a wife to a man "the right way" in a storyline that is going to lead to self-acceptance that will come from her liberation from heteropatriarchal norms and the next we're doing a woman who has spent 4 years straight insisting she doesn't want to get married on feminist grounds having her political convictions worn down for choice feminism and The Power Of Love. like what is going on here.
