Hey fam, it's been a minute. Popping on here briefly to say I'm not sure when I'll get back to regularly scheduled programming. I debated putting this in the tags but figured I might as well just rip the band-aid off...
My mom passed away on Monday unexpectedly.
I barely know what day it is. I'm focusing on functioning/surviving. Some seconds are better than others.
If you're the praying kind, I'd appreciate those. If thoughts and vibes are more your thing, I'd appreciate those as well.
Hoping to be back with you all as soon as I can manage. ❤️
#i debated even saying anything#i have no idea if anyone has noticed my absence#considering I'm not exactly a consistent poster on the best of days#i know I've missed things this week but the Internet isn't easy to be on right now#hoping to be start transitioning back on soon but I'm not giving myself any timeframe#just letting it happen as it happens and riding the wave#but i thought you should know especially those of you who have been with me for a long time#love to you all

Honestly something that bothers me more than most things is having my compassion mistaken for naivety.
I know that another fish might eat this bullfrog right after I spend months rehabilitating it.
I know that turning a beetle back onto its legs won’t save it from falling over again when I walk away.
I know that there is no cosmic reward waiting for my soul based on how many worms I pick off a hot sidewalk to put into the mud, or how many times I’ve helped a a raccoon climb out of a too-deep trashcan.
I know things suffer, and things struggle, and things die uselessly all day long. I’m young and idealistic, but I’m not literally a child. I would never judge another person for walking by an injured bird, for ignoring a worm, or for not really caring about the fate of a frog in a pond full of, y’know, plenty of other frogs.
There is nothing wrong with that.
But I cannot cannot cannot look at something struggling and ignore it if I may have the power to help.
There is so much bad stuff in this world so far beyond my control, that I take comfort in the smallest, most thankless tasks. It’s a relief to say “I can help you in this moment,” even though they don’t understand.
I don’t need a devil’s advocate to tell me another fish probably ate that frog when I let it go, or that the raccoon probably ended up trapped in another dumpster the next night.
I know!!!! I know!!!!!!! But today I had the power to help! So I did! And it made me happy!
So just leave me alone alright thank u!!!!
#what did gandalf say#Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check#but that is not what i have found#I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay

Casey wrote a queer political romance novel, Matthew made a queer rom com with some politics sprinkled in.
Those are different things.
I wish they could have kept Rafael Luna and made Richards the villain he is in the book... But this is amazon. They invested in this film and they want their money's worth. They want this film to appeal to as many people as possible.
Making the republican candidate a sexual predator who goes around hacking private email servers to out queer kids to win an election isn't going to fly with the conservative/republican audience (though I don't know if they'd watch a queer rom com in the first place but I digress).
They changed the queen to a king and changed the family name as to not piss off the real British royal family. They didn't make the king as blatantly homophobic and racist as the queen is in the book so it wouldn't piss off the royalists.
And I remember seeing a post with tweets from the creator of... I don't remember what show - some cartoon that aired on Disney I think - where they explained all the things Disney wanted them to change in the show and the things they had to fight to keep.
We know the MAAP told Matthew to take out the Paris love scene or they'd give it an R rating. We know he said fuck you to that and kept it in. We don't know how much amazon's execs gave him shit for before officially signing off on the version we can watch now.
They cut an hours worth of stuff, and it probably wasn't all *just* for time.
We got the most sensual and intimate sex scene I have ever seen in any piece of media, we had a conversation between a mother and son where she basically named the entire acronym before Alex told her he's bi. And then she just accepts it and reminds him about safe *anal* sex.
They had Uma Thurman say bottoming!
We don't know how much Matthew López has had to fight amazon for any of those things. And how much he's had to compromise.
Just something to keep in mind.
Having said that - release the deleted scenes amazon!!
#👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻#yes thank you#the book is the book and the movie is the movie#even if they made a mini series they STILL would have cut things and changed things#to be quite frank I'm actually happy they cut out so many people because I'd have rather had 2 hours of a movie#where we got to focus on them as a pairing#then 2 hours of a movie where they tried to shove everything and everyone in and we got less of the pairing#because Alex and Henry ARE THE CATALYST#all of these other things happen and all the other scenes occur and all the other pairings get together BECAUSE of them#so if we had to cut Luna and Richards and the evil queen to pack as much of Alex and Henry as they could I'm willing to take that sacrifice#this was never going to be the cultural and political think piece the book was#and I'm grateful the director kept that love scene in and said fuck you to Amazon on that front#because it was stunning and perfectly crafted no notes#and I'm glad we got that#and we got a frank discussion of safe sex for mlm partners#like there was some GOOD SHIT here#so yes#i agree lol#I'm happy with it#it's not the book and it never was going to be but they did a good job with what they have so#I'm not going to be the one to start nitpicking off all the things they changed or i had an issue with#red white and royal blue#rwrb spoilers

He finds a small folded square of paper. It’s stationery from their hotel that night, the night everything inside Alex rearranged. Henry’s cursive… He fumbles his phone out so fast he almost drops it on the floor and smashes it. The search tells him Pyramus and Thisbe were lovers in a Greek myth, children of rival families, forbidden to be together. Their only way to speak to each other was through a thin crack in the wall built between them. And that is, officially, too fucking much. [insp.]
