I love Gordon Ramsay so much.

He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.

He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.

When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire - the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.

He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.

He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.

He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)

His kids are a treasure.

He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.

When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight: 

I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person. 

Oh and then there’s this:

this entire episode 

[someclevermoniker]

never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person

like i touched on this the other day but let’s talk about this in more detail: one thing i really like about some hp characters’ characterisation is how they…not so much progress as the books go on, but we get to see more complicated sides to them that give us a different view of who they are

dumbledore’s a good example - in the first few books he’s the Wise Old Mentor, and that’s about it. he’s powerful! he’s safe! he’s clever! and that’s all he is - except it isn’t, and we see harry’s slow realisation of this as he matures. dumbledore’s made mistakes. he’s jumped to conclusions, backed the wrong horse, made bad judgement calls. he’s distant, and even a little condescending. and he was always like this. some of dumbledore’s biggest mistakes (ariana, grindelwald) happened way before harry was in the picture, he just didn’t hear about them until later

molly weasley has this too. one of my favourite molly characterisation things is her reaction to rita skeeter’s article in book 4 - not that i think molly bullying a fourteen year old girl is a good thing, jesus christ molly, but it is interesting in terms of how we see her. because again, book one and two, her characterisation is ‘Mum’. she’s the mother harry never had, and not a lot else, but as the books progress, we see her vulnerabilities and her prejudices. we see her shunning hermione based on hearsay, we have that gutwrenching scene with the boggart in book five, we have the history of her brothers in the first war, we have her overprotectiveness and her anger and her fear - to the end that she’s a much more rounded character than the mother we meet on platform nine and three quarters. and again, she’s always been all of these things, it’s just that harry (and by extension the reader) doesn’t notice until later

someone: why do you read so much soulmate shit it’s cheesy 

me internally: uhh probably because i’m obsessed with the idea of unconditional love and someone who won’t abandon me. the idea that i am destined for love and therefore inherently lovable means more to me than i can express with words, and compounded with the idea of someone who will love me forever, the concept of soulmates truly appeal to the (large) part of me that makes me feel that i’m going to die alone

me aloud: i just think it’s neat

Misandei, you were good and kind. You were one of the best and I am furious this happened. You deserved to see the beaches and be with Grey Worm. Thank you Nathalie for portraying such an excellent character.

Damn they really are setting up “Mad Queen” Dany and I’ll be honest, I don’t blame her at this point. She’s lost 2 of her dragons who she considers her children. Jorah, the person she loved and trusted and who’s been at her side from the very beginning died protecting her. Missandei was captured and Dany was forced to helplessly watch her best friend be executed. And she’s gonna find out pretty soon that Jon, the man she’s in love with, broke his promise and told people about his heritage which will probably lead to her losing support once Varys spreads the news. At this point she must think that the iron throne is all she has left. If she doesn’t do everything possible to get it then it would seem like all her sacrifices and everything she’s lost was all for nothing. I’ve never been the biggest Dany fan but that’s a hell of a lot to deal with in such a short space of time and I feel for her. I can’t see her story having a happy ending.

Zuko’s scar is different than the typical villain’s scar bc it’s not an ambiguous sign of past violence but an explicit symbol of his father’s abuse - rather than making him seem tougher for no reason it shows that at his heart he’s just a traumatized child and not a villain at all.

when I was younger, I used to think true love was tumultuous and intense. but now, I feel like real love is gentle. passionate in a soft, sweet way. not fireworks and drama, but a love that’s like coming home, the breeze on a still summer day. a balm to the aches of the world.
