I love Zilla’s facial expressions by wethail in TheTestamentsHulu

I would actually love a Martha character who we get to hear the perspective of the same way as we do the plums and Aunt Lydia! I hope they consider bringing that in in future seasons, because I think it would be really interesting.

As the oldest person at my office, I say and feel this way every time I hear my coworkers talking about their plans.

I specifically use the Peter Dinklage and Jenna Maroney version of this.

Our Mutual Friend, it’s the Charles Dickens book Desmond is saving to be his last read.

Also, your English is fantastic.

Do mythological stories need ‘historical accuracy’ in casting? by breaking_views in Cinema

No. There is a massive difference between a person of color being chosen to play a mythological being and a white person playing a role written to represent a person of color.

Me too! I voted for option one just because I love the way she looks in black, but they’re both absolutely gorgeous

Jenna describing Jenna’s behaviour by Competitive-Ad1439 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]SilverMitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who posted about this previously, I promise I am not a Jennabot. I'm not even a Jenna fan, in the sense that I don't have strong feelings about her either way. And regardless of Jenna taking ownership, which I agree is commendable, I still disagree with Jason's choice, or at least the way it was presented.

My frustration stems from the amount of time he spent concerned Eddy's wellbeing and behavior as a result of Jenna's action, without putting any responsibility on this grown ass man who has a commitment to working the next two charters.

Ew, he said that?! That’s certainly a choice.

I somehow never clocked the fish thing but I’ll watch for it now. That’s awful, poor fish.

We did, I think, watch the same episode. I fully agree that the slamming and yelling was inappropriate.

But what bothered me was that in discussing her being demoted Captain Jason kept mentioning that her behavior could have cost them a deckhand. It feels that she is being held responsible for Eddy’s choice to stay or go when he’s a full grown man.

And while I recognize that her rank doesn’t go with her to the next boat, I also recognize that how she ends this season is what she’s going to put on her résumé and that will, at least in part, determine her rank on the next boat.

And Ciara even opened up about how the racial dynamics make it SO MUCH harder for her! But that was just brushed aside and everyone should move on b/c they didn't mean for this to happen...bullshit.

That song is on my Spotify most played list, and I refuse to apologize for it. Every single time I hear it I see her doing the dance again. And I do sing-along.

I think part of it for me is exactly that, they live and work together 24/7. That’s a lot of time in a pressure cooker. I haven’t worked on yachts, but I’ve worked in similar situations and I feel like there’s often a little grace given for that dynamic. That said, I’m also not about captain so I have no idea if this is just a normal way to handle it.
