Thanks. I love you too.

You seem nice and I feel like we'd get along if I met you. Hope you and your spouse are having a nice night :)

Awwwww thank you! I was stressed out today over student loan debt and writing my very first query letter, but am in fact having a nice night. :)

Went and checked with @actuallylukedanes, who I am happy to report is also having a nice night. Thank you so much anon!!

@actuallylukedanes​ answered your question: :(

*smush*

@actuallylukedanes replied to your text post: This is lovely, wonderful. But, so, so, so sad. Heartbreaking.

Thank you! <3 <3

I’m so happy you’re home for your days off. I’ll do what I can to make it better. *smish* I love you.

That's how I felt too (I'll get to Hannibal eventually cuz she's in it at some point) ! :)

:D Always nice when we agree. If anything can tip the scales past the eating of people, it’s Gillian.

Yep. It's really gross, how he behaves with Stella. He's lucky she didn't come at him with a weapon, I think.

Definitely!! If they didn’t have a history I could have seen that happening.

During my liveblog of Grace and Frankie S2, actuallylukedanes said:

Yeah. I made this mistake too...

I’m glad it wasn’t just me! Though now I got so used to spelling it wrong that I keep forgetting anyway and end up returning to fix it in my posts after the fact.

I disagree -- they should never date. Ick. :D

Ha, I wasn’t saying I want them to date! <3 I meant it seemed like the show was hinting at that possibly happening, and I couldn’t figure out if I was just seeing that because the actors work well together or something.

Yep! I thought of the the moment she said that.

Of course you did. :)

Yeah, I hated this whole part. And I don't, at all, agree with it. I think he did love her. Does love her. But...you know....gotta erase bisexuality and non-monogamous love storylines in all tv.

Apparently that’s very important, yeah. I can accept that that’s what the show decided to retcon in because I guess they thought it was totally obvious in S1 and then maybe realized from viewers that Sol seemed totally bi? So they got even more determined in S2 to make it clear how super totally not into anyone female even Frankie he really was. But still, “gay now” will never stop being offensive.

THIS. This is what I wanted to tell you so badly and didn't! :D

IT MADE ME SO HAPPY and I’m grateful you let me be surprised. <3 Carrie Preston is the best.

Yeah, I liked her up until her attitude with Frankie. Like, the humouring Frankie, and then later the being a bitch to her.

I really did like the mellowing, I thought she was always supposed to be the abrasive mean character. And since they mostly wrote her sister out but kept Frankie’s sons around, Brianna played a much larger role representing Grace’s kids. As you already know, I didn’t find her scenes with Frankie that upsetting, so I enjoyed her a lot this season.

During my liveblog of Grace and Frankie 1.01-4, @actuallylukedanes said:

That ends eventually, and she goes back to being unpleasant. Sorry.

I’m sorry too! Though that’s not at all surprising, it’s a key aspect of the character they established for her. I’m enjoying it while it lasts.

I felt concerned. And the fact that they both have to be 100% gay upsets me. Saul loved Frankie -- he did. And, clearly, he was also attracted to her throughout their marriage and the end of it. Why can't he be bi? Why's it so important that both men are 100% gay? I dunno. It bugs me.

Of course it bugs you, it’s ridiculous. Apparently we haven’t moved past Willow and “gay now.” Which was 15 years ago. With the contrast between Robert wanting to be openly, joyfully gay, and Saul’s reserve over it, I wish that could have been what they addressed. it would have been nice for that to be what Saul had to think about rather than implied internalized homophobia or whatever the canon reason was for his actions...because since S1 we’ve had no evidence that Saul is gay, just that he loves Robert. But also Frankie. It bugs me too.

Yep. You're gonna be her in 40 years. :)

I love that this was your response to the petty theft thing. I guess the implication there is that if you leave me in 40 years, I’ll steal your silverware? Lol.

When was she mean? And when was she petulant or childish that you're referencing here??

I think I was talking about the bit where Grace and Frankie pick up things from the house and Frankie goes on strike and then asks Grace what she wants and says something that means “oh, well, of course you don’t know, you couldn’t even think of one wish.” And she’s not wrong, but the way she says it is so callously hurtful, like Grace sometimes was before they became friends. It’s not who she usually is. I prefer her not taking out her pain on Grace.

Nah, no, it's not just you. That scene/dialogue made no sense to me either.

Oh, okay. Weird.

He is scary, scary good at it.

*nods* It’s unsettling.

I know, right? Just having Paul for a father is clearly fucking her up at an early age. Poor kid.
