💎 Using this as a LDP fan account to shout my praises into the void. Accidentally bought a year of premium, might as well make the most of it.

I’m an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) with SPS (sensory/emotional processing sensitivity), which basically means my brain is always deeply processing. Emotions, environments, tone shifts, body language, subtext… all of it gets absorbed and analyzed constantly. My mind is always on.

It can be overwhelming and isolating sometimes, but it also allows me to connect with art and other people in ways that are beautiful and meaningful to me. I think that’s part of why Lou’s performances resonate with me so much. Every choice he makes as an actor feels intentional and human. The inner lives he builds into his characters feel so textured and emotionally alive that my brain just settles into them. There’s so much there for me to feel and unpack.

Lou’s work gives my brain somewhere meaningful to go. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by how much I notice and absorb, I get to experience that depth through storytelling and character work that feels bravely honest in a world that often seems to punish authenticity.

His art makes me feel seen and connected in a way I don’t often get to experience, and I’ll always be grateful to him for that. What I would like to tell myself, Lou, and anyone else who might read this, HSP with SPS or not:

You're not too much, you're not alone, and this world is a beautiful place to live because you're a part of it.

@marggy_peterson @YouTube @ebert_ann @donnacox1021 Hooray! Thank you!

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@MangaMexicana I feel like it works with the style 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@LouDPhillips Did you ever read the memoirs that The King And I was adapted from? I'm reading The English Governess At The Siamese Court now, and I am so captivated by Anna's writing! The King she describes feels far more human and complex than I expected, and often surprisingly vulnerable. Reading it has made me wonder if some of that more direct vulnerability found its way into your interpretation of the role. Yes, I'm still mourning the fact that I'll never get to see your performances 😅

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@LouDPhillips 🤦🏻‍♀️That's terrible 🤣

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@donnacox1021 @VicToriA19_72 Oh, I never move past it. I'm down bad.

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@LouDPhillips Why are all of your Roys meanies 😂

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@VicToriA19_72 Thank you! 😂 The color progression was interesting. When he's first introduced he's in a white puffer, but by the end he's wearing black. Subliminal messaging!

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@marggy_peterson @donnacox1021 @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann Have we heard any updates for Widow? 🤔

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@marggy_peterson @donnacox1021 @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann Marggy, you are so on it! We appreciate you 😊

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@donnacox1021 @marggy_peterson @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann Same here 😩

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@VicToriA19_72 @donnacox1021 @ebert_ann @LouDPhillips My bad. I got excited for you 😅 🤐

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@VicToriA19_72 @donnacox1021 @ebert_ann @LouDPhillips I hope you're ready for angry Lou in at least 3 different colors of puffer jackets 😂

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@donnacox1021 @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann @marggy_peterson @EricaDiwren I think he forgot how to care about anyone. He's kind of tragic, I pity him a little...

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@donnacox1021 @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann @marggy_peterson @EricaDiwren ALSO we all agree that Roy was banging Hassie's mom, right? 😂 There was something going on, for sure... 👀

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

True! Poor Rowan, too. She just wanted him to love her 🥺 Anyway, I really love the hopeful message of this movie, it's sweet. And I'm glad we got to see the layers to Roy, even if he kept them mostly under wraps. I like that we got to understand him even if we couldn't support him. And I say that purely from a moral standpoint because it's Lou so I love him, I don't care 😂

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

The best kinds of villains are the ones who see themselves as the heroes. I love that this movie tells us what drives him. It's clear that the things he's witnessed and endured have caused him to grow detached and cynical, but everything he does is justified in his mind. The sad thing is, in trying so hard to secure what he thinks he needs, he ends up self-sabotaging and losing everything he was doing all of this for in the first place. Oh, this is the good stuff!

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@donnacox1021 @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann @marggy_peterson @EricaDiwren This character 😮‍💨 He's got so much going on! I need to talk about it 😂

[Caroline Davis @LiveLaughLDP]

@EricaDiwren @donnacox1021 @LouDPhillips @ebert_ann @marggy_peterson Physical media is superior!
