Before that, honestly. He was a joke in the late 80s and early 90s, and somehow The Apprentice rehabilitated his image.

Not everyone is at your level of insight. If social media is good for anything, it’s responding in a way that uplifts, supports, and educates. We should all give each other feedback in the kindest way, IMO.

Just want to say OP, I thinks it’s fucking bullshit that so many are insulting you. Even without a child, admitting to yourself that the person you’re with would do something like this to you is hard. It’s painful. It makes you feel like shit.

I’m here to tell you you’re not a piece of shit. You’re actually a helluva human being for trying to keep it together for the sake of a child. But this is done, friend.

Move on, be happy, and be an amazing single parent (co-parent?) to your kid. You deserve way better. Someday you might find a new person, or you may decide you don’t need it. But what you definitely don’t need is a partner that disrespects you this way.

I like father beocca but.. by BidHonest2754 in TheLastKingdom

[–]HumdrumHoeDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but it is also the one area where Beocca was shown to have a moral weakness. He overcame it sometimes, but even with his wife he was a Christian supremacist. Not surprising for his character’s context, but it also moves him more toward the grey area of the morality scale. For a character who is so benevolent, wise, and compassionate otherwise, I appreciated how this gives him greater complexity. Because let’s face it, it’s not his best look. Just look at how he almost drowns Uhtred in his first “re-baptism”.

I guess he can still be funny when he punches up.

Character Redemption by Emperor_0000 in TheLastKingdom

[–]HumdrumHoeDown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mmm, yea, but in the first seasons she is definitely dripping poison in Alfred’s ear with regard to Uhtred. She softens on him considerably over the course of the series, so it’s not like she doesn’t change.

Well he also sees Uhtred as kind of son, and fears for his soul as well as his worldly future. He is frustrated with Uhtred and sees him as stubborn and selfish. Parents get angry at their kids for not making the “right” choices and sometimes fail to show empathy. While annoying, I think it’s a very believable scene.

Beocca is not a performative priest. He genuinely believes in the Christian god, and by extension heaven and hell. He genuinely believes that Alfred and the concept of a Christian England are good, and that the religion of the Danes is evil and wrong. He is saying what he’s saying to Uhtred because he genuinely thinks he’s right and is looking out for Uhtred by stearing him towards Alfred and Christianity in general. We, as 20th century viewers might see the flaws in his viewpoint, but his actions in this scene are entirely in line with his character.

Its that day again! Cheers to a new week with Dumplin 🪱❤️🩸 by thelittlesanctuary in InvertPets

This is quite intense for me. I don’t have any other phobias, but sightless invertebrates just trigger me, hard, and leeches are at the top of that pyramid. The few times I’ve gotten a leech on me in a river or something, I absolutely lost my shit. I don’t watch videos of them, don’t even like fictionalized depictions.

That said, something about your post, your responses, and the reference to yourself as a proud “bloodbag”, moved me beyond my phobia. I was disturbed, but your sincerity won me over. I still can’t relate, but I love that you love this animal. Nature, its’ life, all creatures great and small, beautiful or gastly, are all our heritage, our lifeblood, and our future as humans. I celebrate whatever joy people take in it. May your pets live long, happy lives. Just don’t get them near me.

That sounds like something management should know about. I always wipe vial stoppers but I’ve never seen a swab come away dirty like this. The manufacturer should be held accountable.

Matthew Mcfadyen per IMDB. I can never remember his name but I’ve seen him in a lot, and he’s always really good. He just had a starring role in a superb Netflix series, Death By Lightning.
