Missing My Partner Hours Have Started

i knew it looked familiar

An ideal husband, 1999

It's really not surprising that @netflix is losing a LOT of money this week. Within the span of just a couple of weeks, they:

Ended one of their most beloved shows (TUA) in what was literally one of the worst conclusions ever written

Announced a homophobic version of Dorian Gray where Basil and Dorian were brothers

Canceled a critically acclaimed new show (DBDA) after one season despite its large, dedicated fanbase after failing to market that show

Implemented ads on Netflix plans that did not previously have them, essentially serving as a price increase for a lot of people

This is a genuinely insane metric to see, especially for a company as large as @netflix. Honestly, it's super embarrassing, but a natural product of their recent behaviour.

netflix pissing me off for the 1000th time

what? A Netflix adaptation that turns the toxic yaoi couple into brothers? that’s silly….. that.. that would never happen….. right guys..?? guys??

reading more books about middle aged victorian homosexuals to distract myself from the economic state of the world :p

“We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize we only have one.”

— Tom Hiddleston

I adore the moment in a book when Character A changes what name they use for Character B. When they go from using a last name to a first, a pseudonym to a real name, a formal name to an informal one. I love how much it speaks to the level of intimacy one character feels towards another, how you can take note of the moment things change between them, how it almost divides the book into two parts. It's like catnip to me.

pretending i'm okay with a situation when it's actually shattering my heart is the worst

I think it's a damn shame that most adaptations of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" give Jekyll/Hyde a girlfriend because if you read the original it's very clearly a book about Gabriel Utterson trying to dig up dirt on what he thinks is his boyfriend's new side hoe. Only to discover he's actually some weird alter ego created from a science experiment gone wrong.
