When I think about the Jay-Den/Darem/Kyle love triangle now I struggle to comprehend that they exist. Like damn Star Trek really did that. That was so fucking gay wow.

Gayer on rewatch too cause you realise Darem was lowkey flirting since episode 1

Going through and looking at old posts to fill the LoliloDaily blog queue and have been reminded that there were once

- Peter stans who absolutely hated Balthazar

- Balthazar stans who absolutely hated Peter

- People who thought that that one punishment where they threw socks at Peter, and everyone including Peter was cracking up laughing the whole time, was abuse

- People who picked one flatmate to love and decided that the other three were demons with no redeeming qualities and The Fave should move out and go no-contact immediately

- People who hated Rosa because they were convinced she was going to steal Ben from Bea (which would be impossible, Ben can’t be stolen, he’s too in love with Bea, but even if he could be stolen, assuming Rosa would do that and hating her for the possibility is stupid)

This fandom was drama central, damn 🫣

Jean Marc Nattier (b.1658 - d.1766), 'Portrait of Marie Therese Geoffrin (b.1715 - d.1791), Marquise de la Ferte Imbault, later d’Estampes, Marquis de Mauny, oil on canvas, c.1739, French, for sale for est. 150,000 - 200,000 USD in Christie’s 'The Private Collection of Jayne Wrightsman', October 2020; New York, NY, USA.

Marie Therese Geoffrin was an eminent salon hostess that rose to French high society following her marriage to the 21 year old Philippe Charles d'Estampes, Marquise de la Ferte-Imbault. He would die only a few years after their marriage and seven months after the birth of their daughter, and Marie Therese would return to her family home and her mother, Mme. Geoffrin. Though not a family of intellectuals, Marie's own natural curiosity and her title soon brought her into contact with many notable writers and thinkers of the day: Montesquieu, Fontenelle, and La Motte Houtard. Eventually her own salon would expand to include such names as Voltaire, Walpole, Diderot and the future King of Poland, Stanislaus Augustus. Even though they resided in the same house, the elder Mme. Geoffrin and Marie Therese would run competing salons, her mother meeting with religiously motivated oppontents to the enlightened ideas of Marie Therese's circle, called the 'Order of Lanturelus'. The portrait can be seen as a kind of preparatory study - though due to its finish, the Wrightsman collection portrait is considered a finished piece in its own right - for a much larger work, currently in the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum (not to be confused with this portrait, also in the same museum).

the menu had an -'s to make something plural so i corrected it and said it looks sloppy when a business has bad spelling/grammar and i got told 'not everyone has the benefit of your education'. this is not hidden behind the paywall of university ! you can go to the library for free ! you can look it up ! if your education was incomplete do not let that hold you back !!! educate yourself !! it is good for the soul !!!!
