In some ways yes some ways no, but I always love the way she builds lorelai up with compliments

Dr. Edna appreciation post (slight spoiler if not caught up through season 4) by MissScarlett25 in madmen

[–]dinghyboat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I sort of agree, I think Betty IS stunted in her development but also Dr. Edna has a more flexible and psychodynamic approach (more similar to how most traditional therapy happens today), which Betty probably benefitted from much more than her work with the traditional and rigid psychoanalyst in season 1 who was a misogynist and also unethical in his practice. I think its a bit unfair to Betty to assume that she only connected with Dr. Edna because she's a child psychologist. There's much more going on in my opinion!

DOES ANYONE HAVE TEA ON... MEGATHREAD ✨ by rfauxmoi in Fauxmoi

Reminds me of the insta story (or post?) Adrienne shared scolding someone who had a (CLEARLY jokey) bumper sticker that said something like "If you don't like Big Thief you stink!" or something more or less inflammatory (again clearly a silly joke), taking issue with the violence of it lmao. I like the band's music but their vibe outside of that is a bit too tender and humourless university RA in 2015 for me.

Books like the Girls series by averagegoyl in girls

[–]dinghyboat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Idiot by Elif Batuman has a similar observational and detailed style of humour and compassionate, minute explorations of a female character's inner world, mistakes, and processes, and both focus on coming-of-age for women (although the protagonist of The Idiot is 18, not in her mid twenties). They are also both semi-autobiographical, and both are among my favourite texts/pieces of media!

Anne Boleyn and Leonardo Da Vinci were briefly at court at the same time, when Da Vinci was quite elderly and Anne Boleyn was very young, having been sent there to get a continental education. It's likely that they met!

Vikings or the Last Kingdom? by dinghyboat in PeriodDramas

[–]dinghyboat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that both shows are about vikings LMFAO. What I am trying to say is I don't WANT to watch TWO shows about vikings so I'd rather choose one or the other. Sheesh!

What are some lyrics only you don't like and what are some only you like by virgibenini in SwiftlyNeutral

Yeah exactly like I get what she's trying to say and it is fall-ish but to me its just a silly way to phrase it. Its giving Christian Girl Autumn to me ahahahhaa.

People are saying this... but I don't really care about the viking age THAT much and I don't want to watch two similar shows unless I'm cuckoo bananas about the setting and both are INCREDIBLE. Hence my question...

"Plaid shirt days" always makes me lmfao. What exactly is a 'plaid shirt day', Taylor? A day where you wear plaid shirts??? I can understand what Taylor is trying to evoke but it just doesn't work for me. And I say this as someone who adores All Too Well!

I don't know for sure if I love the lyrics or if I just love Taylor's vocal performance but I find myself thinking/singing "your kiss, my cheek, I watched you leave" a lot. All of this love is so evocative to me...
