I take “scrawny” back - he *was* pretty ripped for Empire, but I think he lost some muscle mass before filming Jedi

I love Luke. Guys who are wrong give him crap because they can’t stand to see a scrawny pretty boy act his age and then eat humble pie as the main hero

Neil Tennant is another one, if you’re into Pet Shop Boys

For B&S, where do I go from Dear Catastrophe Waitress, which is fantastic?

It’s the best

Congratulations!!

To your first questions, I don’t think character flaws (like being annoying or impolite) are enough. My framework for “gray”: the character has selfish intentions at some points and selfless intentions at others. A lot of times a morally gray character becomes “good” when they atone for selfishness.

My answer to the last question is that a lot of people engage in black-and-white thinking despite the fact that those around them are more than either “good” or “bad”, and this certainly comes out in characters of fiction.

I’m gonna need to see the shoes to know for sure

I also like the recipes that claim to take 30 minutes… after you chop about 10 different vegetables and herbs and carefully measure out about that many liquids and spices. 2 and a half hours later the dish is finally ready, and I’ve already filled up on the crackers I got out to snack on

Lmao

I can’t stand that song 😅

Someone left bait for my parents, it seems (dinner at their house is sometimes literally just fancy cheese, crackers, and olives)

Real feelings about having a kid, lol: youtu.be/_GIyTFl4Cb4?...

Since I just saw Raising Arizona for the first time, this seems like another good first-time follow-up for more Nic Cage of that era (though I’m curious what you mean by “on what was thought was 10”)

I still need to see The Young Ones - I love his Terry Pratchett narrations!

I have a lot to be grateful for myself. In the present I can see many things around me that are results of both luck and hard work, and often I take those things for granted or focus on the negative, because brains are dumb and tend to do that if you don’t stop them.

Disturbing :(
