#When You Get To Watch The Love Of Your Life Be Free

[dragon-in-a-fez]

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

THE LAST OF US 1x08: When We Are In Need | 2x07: Convergence

“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”

— Zadie Smith (via campaignagainstcliche)

Girl really needs to hear that but the thing is - if it's not her, it's nobody in that madcap household full of impractical genius dramatic types.

Honestly, the age gap thing makes so much sense. She doesn't have daddy issues per se, she just has overall parent issues ie her parents basically don't parent at all and she's the one who has to be the grown up. Now yes, she's 20. But her parents are in their 40s and the hosts and yet they hared off to bang or w/e leaving her to deal with the whole insane party. And you get the sense it's been like this forever.

The thing is, it totally makes sense for her to end up with Rupert - like she's a caretaker by nature but with him it's (1) one person (2) who actually appreciates her domestic goddess routine instead of taking it for granted and viewing her as dim (3) unlike her fam won't leave her utterly alone 100% of the time to cope with 100% of the stuff. Like seriously - her sister is a minor but neither her brother nor her parents do anything to clean up, it's the freaking neighbor who helps wtf.

Probably the first time Rupert tucked a pretty woman into bed without climbing in after, in years.

At least someone appreciated it.

PS That was very kind of him (and largely because Taggie was distraught over the pics) but also hilarious.

(It's kinda telling that while Taggie ends up with someone close to her father's age, he is unlike daddy, eminently practical in real life matters.)
