how i feel reading smut in the morning like it’s the newspaper

there's this character dynamic that's not necessarily enemies to lovers, where one or both parties don't initially respect or trust the other person in much the same way that a feral animal sees anyone who tries to approach it first as a threat that's like cocaine to me

[valtsv]

it's this

Platonic my ass this is the same picture

"it's my defense mechanism" "suffering from delusions of grandeur" "two corpses, everything's fine" "communism was just a red herring" "one plus two plus two plus one" "i didn't know it was *that* free" "i know because i was there" "i thought men like you were usually called a fruit" clue (1985) was so ahead of its time

I think what makes “While You Were Sleeping” hit so particularly hard for me is that it’s a film that constantly has you bracing for the worst to happen, but it never does—or the terrible thing we are expecting to happen DOES happen, but then it doesn’t turn out to be as terrible as we expect. Jack tells his dad that he doesn’t want to continue the family business; his dad isn’t upset at all and just goes “alright, guess we’re selling the company.” Peter’s real fiancée shows up and finds Peter in the hospital; but it turns out that she wasn’t his fiancée at all. Lucy is finally forced to tell the family the truth in possibly the most embarrassing circumstances possible, but they don’t get angry with her at all, they only seem sad to see her go.

There’s an unspoken rule in writing that generally, the worst thing that could happen to a character is the best way to move the plot along, but “While You Were Sleeping” saw that and said, “nope, not doing that.”

We didn't have... we'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. When I said I would never leave you. And you never will. But I've got a job to do too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble. But it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.

If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it.
