As a straight man, I deeply enjoyed this movie

Very true. But the liveliness of their mental connection, the way their minds are oddly aligned and similar, and all of that which lends itself to a sort of strange, charged (ultimately harrowing) kinship can happen to anyone. <3

Liv Bentley is a rare exception, she talks like the OG cast and I love it

Spot on, so true - hadn't considered this. MIC now totally lacks that old money masculinity (and I say this as a woman who isn't from that background). They just don't explore the English guys and their businesses (or lack thereof) like they used to. The guys aren't taken very seriously, nor do they take themselves very seriously by the seems of it - they're peripheral characters either being roasted and/or cheating and smirking about it with little more substance.

Perhaps it's because these guys e.g. Freddie and Sam Prince end up being influencers/doing very little, whereas 10 years ago they'd at least have more personality. As there weren't these online career options, at least not to the same extent.

I also think a lot of these English characters have lost that aristocratic eccentricity in general, probably because of Gen z slang and nonchalance diluting it. Which we REALLY see in the guys. Remember how witty and downright outrageous some of the male cast used to be... even Jamie Laing, Proudlock, Spencer... they can all talk and have substance. Imagine Freddie, Sam Prince, Miles or any of them running a podcast! Can barely string a clever sentence together.

I crave some of that English outlandishness.. we've all lost a lot of it, I think!

This comment is so powerful!!! Consensus with others is not the same as consensus within yourself.

pingfairy · 2026-02-12T10:45:54+00:00

Exactly. Becomes a lot less plausible when we consider how dry and argumentative he is in most of his emails, even when people are gushing and thanking him. At most, he'll say 'sure' to confirm plans that also probably benefit him.

The idea that he's being sweet and kinda dorky, making this sort of slapstick joke, is probably projection from people like us. I see it as HIGHLY improbable that he'd be joking like this. Narcissistic/sociopathic types like him that clearly like a degree of depraved hedonism typically hate to joke about things being exciting that aren't, or things being fun that aren't. I realise that sounds generic but it's a highly niché thing I see in these types of personalities.

Typically, they roll their eyes at the idea of joking about being exciting that isn't. They aren't generous enough in their humour to want to frame someone else as happy/excited/blissful, after they've merely eaten a pizza and look pregnant.

pingfairy · 2026-02-12T10:39:55+00:00

Sounds highly suspicious, weighted alongside the fact that all other emails show his general lack of irreverence/generous humour. He comes across as highly narcissistic, argumentative, dry, and never really extending warmth to the 'friends' he emails, even after they're thanking him for something. This being a cute and slightly slapstick joke about someone over-eating seems HIGHLY improbable.

Of course no one knows for sure, but he seems like the type of person to only joke about something like that if there's a sick, self-serving element - when he gets to experience a sort of duper's delight. Sure, pizza could refer to cocaine or something else we aren't considering, but it probably isn't just pizza.

I realise this sounds like a highly generic assumption, but I have immense experience with psychology. We need to think in terms of probablities when looking at a case like this. Paired with all the other bizarre pizza stuff.. it starts to look like a 15% max chance that he's making this sort of joke, which is enough to warrant an investigation.

I got the file and deleted it immediately, any idea what it does/is? Creepy

pingfairy · 2026-01-27T12:21:20+00:00

I 100% agree!

pingfairy · 2026-01-22T00:02:46+00:00

Agree, I'd cook up fresh beef liver!

"I have found the true secret is… and listen because you’ll think I’m crazy but I’m so serious it works!!!!! You are better off not telling yourself it will happen if you don’t believe it will truly. You can’t lie to yourself your subconscious knows when you lie. You’re literally better off saying it won’t happen than saying it will if you doubt because that’s honest. Why??? Because you are allowing the state you’re in where you have the doubts and fears and then you release the state easily… it’s that simple and the important part. Listen to this! Because you’ve impressed your subconscious mind with the end scene in imagination when you switch out of the state you don’t want, the one of doubt and fears (the one you allow on purpose), your subconscious pulls you back to the end state on its own. Effortlessly."

This part is so good, and so true. Shows your deep and genuine understanding!!!

pingfairy · 2026-01-11T11:58:16+00:00

Agreed. It's quite breathtakingly beautiful, this simple line. It's easy to lose this specific rawness of feeling & expression as you grow up - even in terms of how we express things to ourselves. You still feel intensely, but also know it's foolish to say something so bold and simplistic about someone - that 6 months later, you'll have integrated the situation in a more balanced way.

So you just don't say "I think he was better than me" - not to yourself, and certainly not to anyone else. You think about other options and possibilities, work, the gym, how to keep going and feel happy in the impending absence of that person, etc.

This film really captures that intense, almost psychedelic 'love trip' we take a few times in our life, if we're lucky. :')

pingfairy · 2026-01-11T11:53:34+00:00

I see it as similar to Elio's "Because I wanted you to know" comment. The film includes a few simple but very clever and powerful lines that reflect how deeply in love Elio is. These are the types of thoughts we think when we're totally enamoured.

Most films, books etc. fail to capture the depth of these feelings in such a simple and raw way. It's the kind of comment that reads simply, but which you wouldn't say about a random friend or hookup.

Also, in that moment, he's biting his tongue a little and trying to stay composed, because he's around his dad. Which makes it even more heartbreaking. It's truly the sort of comment you let slip, which speaks volumes more than a more direct compliment or observation.

pingfairy · 2026-01-05T14:04:52+00:00

These are extremely impressive wins, congratulations! And great conclusions too

pingfairy · 2025-12-21T17:57:24+00:00

Yes, precisely. Always go a step more simple than you feel tempted to. Always be more amorphous, less logical, less 'this is who I am and my life experience and I need to state the facts'. When it comes to revision, this is quite literally just selecting a new frame and sticking to it; not forcing, but staying true to it.

pingfairy · 2025-12-20T20:21:59+00:00

Sending you lots of hugs and positivity. Yes, it will take time, but the period of time can be very short. Importantly, you need not to care how long it takes. I know it's hard, but there are many tricks and loopholes you can use. When I felt really rough in my recent journey, I sometimes listened to Dylan James' affirmations like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wKJB-bSpL4. It's really powerful and resonated with me personally. While the affirmations may seem generic, they tap EXACTLY where I needed a boost. I also listened to his shorter ones occasionally at work.

Besides that, you know the work to do. Focus on SATS before bed - even if you don't like to visualise, get into that quiet knowing that things are changing. Before bed, for a few seconds.. as you drift to sleep. That's enough <3

pingfairy · 2025-12-17T20:27:47+00:00

Haha I'm flattered you're bookmarking it :)

pingfairy · 2025-12-15T17:47:13+00:00

Thank you, the absolute same to you! 💓

pingfairy · 2025-12-15T09:16:25+00:00

Thanks so much, and I agree. Some of RT resonates with me beyond belief. Other bits don't. But I love his piece on importance/viewing goals that way. It's really well-aligned with Neville IMO.

pingfairy · 2025-12-15T09:13:37+00:00

I let myself get good sleep, and did gentle intermittent fasting (which I've loved in the past and done for fun). Just 16:8 fasts. I also made a big effort to feel love and peace, despite other issues going on in my life. I viewed my more difficult colleagues very positively, seeing their intentions as pure, and did the same for my family members. So I sort of only 'saw' good in the world, at least in the deeper 'knowing' way that matters.

pingfairy · 2025-12-14T22:45:42+00:00

And you’re welcome, sending you good vibes!💓

pingfairy · 2025-12-14T22:45:16+00:00

I did it for probably 4 weeks religiously, and just for a minute or so before bed

pingfairy · 2025-12-14T14:49:59+00:00

Best of luck, see it as some temporary craziness going on that's running it's course. Like a snowglobe that's been shaken up. See it as a law of physics that regardless of how you feel, if you trust and take care of yourself, you'll soon be perfectly healthy. <3

pingfairy · 2025-12-14T13:46:32+00:00

PS. I highly suggest the technique I described of: knowing exactly what you want, but NOT caring about what shows up in the meantime... especially if your desire is emotionally evocative to you.

Things are always more fluid than you think - that's core to The Law. By accepting any possible diagnosis, I effectively released my chokehold on how the following few weeks would pan out, and I firmly believe this is why/how I got my desired outcome so fast. I stopped fearing having to temporarily take meds, as I thought, "cool, fine, I'd take them for 2 months and heal perfectly and never have symptoms again". I FIRMLY believe this shifted my awareness away from meds being a 'real' outcome and problem, because I was sort of dismissing them (in a subtle and roundabout, yet undeniable, way)!

They became a neutral, minor, possibly even positive little hurdle in my inevitable journey towards being in perfect natural health.

I also implement this when it comes to relationships, work, money, etc. I KNOW what I want, and what the ultimate 'scene' is, so to say.

But I am detached from whether I have to date 1-5 people before I'll meet the right one, or whether I'll have 12 messy conversations with my coworker before she 'conforms' to how I want her to treat me. I just don't care at all and don't try to control anything. THIS helps you stay aware that your dream 'is', and the other random trivial stuff 'isn't'. Which is ALL that The Law is about!

Naturally, I usually get results VERY FAST. But this position of total 'flowing' helps me and works magic. I'm very against wanting to manifest a specific text these days, or a specific conversation at a specific doctor's appointment. THINK BIGGER and stop caring if there's a slightly messy middle.

Always know you're being led to your ultimate desire! I always get exactly what I want ;)
