Just finished The Bear s4ep9, and the moment in the walk-in fridge with Carmy leaving Jimmy a message floored me. Quiet, layered, devastating and beautifully poetic.
I have a lot to say about the symbolism so here’s a thread!

@yurilesmand I couldn’t get past the first chapter bc I despise Rice’s prose in TVL 😭 but the person that opened their tale with “I am the vampire Lestat, I am sexy as hell, I killed wolves” definitely IS the person getting excited by an ice cream scoop. Case closed.
Si vous hésitez à voter Melenchon en 2027, rappelez vous qu’il sera TJRS mieux de continuer de militer sous Melenchon plutôt que sous n’importe quelle partie de droite🙏 Pour continuer la lutte et simplifier la lutte, il nous faut une gauche au pouvoir
@magnusrocks In s2 the only time Delainey’s accent isn’t great is when she gets heated. And the slips have happened only twice in Paris. “You and him/him and you” and during the trial.
@magnusrocks It’s the way you can tell Delainey did a bad accent on purpose. The moment she spoke it sounded off to me and then Louis brought it up and I was just astounded by Delainey’s performance. For a brit to pull off butchering a Nola accent so precisely? Wow. +
Nobody in their right mind would see Louis noticing REGINA’S (not DelaineyClaudias) accent being off as a dig at Delainey, rather than a way for to show Louis’ growing realization that she’s not Claudia. If anything, doesn’t it imply that Claudia’s accent was distinctly NOLA?
@FireflyDancer26@Kings1627796 Still struggle to find her. I can taste her, smell, feel, even almost touch her but I can’t see her. I can’t quite grasp her or hold on long enough to inhabit her. She’s evasive, ever fleeting. I pain to reach her. Like there’s a chasm in mind and I can’t quite bridge it.
@FireflyDancer26@Kings1627796 When I left my family home for uni I spent the first year completely lost. I didn’t know who I was when I wasn’t performing and walking on eggshells. I’d performed the agréable version of me for so long I forgot who I really was or if she ever even existed and 10 years later I—
@Kings1627796 This! Its the exhausting of being on the ready constantly, never letting guard down. Reexamining every interaction, watching for signs of conflict, seeing how my actions are or could be misunderstood, finally performing a simple daily dance to just feel safe, never being myself
@glampirelestat Elegantly put.
Ppl refuse to expand their minds and broaden their horizons. Heavens forbid one is intellectually challenged, no no no, one must always be blissfully ignorant and cuddled.
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON C-PTSD;
- Sometimes I wish I was deäd
- I just want to be alone most of the time
- I can't sleep!
- I feel spacey, like can't think straight
- I have constant nightmares
- I feel depressed
- Most of the time I feel like I am in pain
- Most of the time I feel worthless
- I can't concentrate
- I feel angry that I was put in this position!
- I can't handle the simplest task
- I feel like l'm a doormat most of the time
- I feel like I always have to be vigilant.
- Ready to take on another attack!
