One day you’ll have whatever it is you’re now so confusedly seeking. That kind of calm that comes from knowing oneself and others. But you can’t rush the arrival of that state of mind. There are things you only learn when no one teaches them. And that’s how it is with life. There’s even more beauty in discovering it for yourself, in spite of the suffering.

Clarice Lispector, from “Gertrudes asks for advice” in The Complete Stories

people who are full of themselves and try to constantly refute those who talk shit about them contrarily end up looking desperately trying to hide that they're insecure i look at celebrities engaging with random strangers and go wow they're really bad at this cos the more u engage with them the more they engage with you and that's exactly what u don't want??? it's hard to stop yourself from responding to people who r opinionating but seriously every time a famous person has done this it has backfired and imploded in their faces and also fueled people from just commenting in passing to knowing that the person they're criticising would see it and making it more personal and directed they should find other ways to get those out (this is why singers have it the best right they can write clapback songs addressed to the miscellaneous haters)

wonderful thing about being a multi fan is that it's easy to abandon a sinking ship when you have a million other yatches ready for you

heated rivalry is clearly the first explicit mlm romance a lot of you people in the west have seen based on the unhinged way people have been acting... i have watched 4 (four) bls since that have been MUCH buzzier than hollanov chemistry-wise (duang with you, love upon a time, my romance scammer, sammy's children's day).. talking about "peak romance" maybe in america definitely not in asia please be serious and get off your high horses.... classic case of something getting more engagement than expected because execs underestimated the core audience (fujoshis) only for normies to jump on the bandwagon and hijack the whole fucking thing ok im out im done

how do i stop being grossed out by harmless bugs and worms? we share a world with them, and i share balconies and backyards with them. the irrational response and spike of digust is definitely one in the laundry list of symptoms of my mental issues but this one in particular is reinforced by society a lot more than the others are.

when the thing you've been unhealthily fixated on gives you the ick

i love queerbait as much as queer romances especially when it's intended to be a bromance instead of being too pussy to commit and tiptoeing around queerness to cater to a larger audience without alienating anyone ik im biased but homoerotic friendships hold more water than an actual relationship in my little lesbian life and i like seeing that explored on screen there are so many girlfriendships of mine who i love dearly and would never date but i do have a crush on them that's definitely more than just the platonic

Something odd is going on at their house Ilya realizes, after about two months of living together.

One Monday he'd noticed the sink in one of the guest bedrooms was dripping a little. He'd texted his plumber, who'd been able to come by the next day, only to find nothing was dripping. Ilya has figured maybe it hadn't been dripping, the faucet maybe wasn't fully off or something?

Another week he'd taken out the trash and noticed the light above the cans was out. He'd texted the electrician guy he had on call. He wouldn't usually be able to come out for a couple days. But the next day when Ilya was bringing a box out to recycle he'd found the light back on. He'd canceled the electrician, wondering if he'd just hit the lights switch funny?

And then the final odd thing happens. He's putting some stuff away in one of the guest room closets and he tugs the door too hard the wrong way and it pops off it's tracks and hits the floor. He curses as he catches it, and props it back up, leaning it into place. He texts a picture of it to his handyman. The photo is partially to explain the problem, but mostly to assure himself it really happened if the door manages to also magically heal itself.

The next day he gets a question about the door from the handyman so he goes to check it out, and walks in on Shane, with a little tool box on the floor next to him, lifting the door back into place with ease.

Ilya, shocked, "You're the one fixing everything!"

Shane, did not know this was a mystery, "Yes, of course. What did you think it was, magic?"

Shane, after hearing the story, "Wait, you call an electrician every time a light bulb goes out?!"

listening to the people who worked on the show confirm my initial readings about the characters and their motivations has me feeling like i got a full score in media literacy class :)
