Durge (sighing dramatically like a besotted Victorian debutante): Do you remember our first date? Why don’t you do anything romantic like that for me anymore?
Astarion: Our first date? What, when we had sex in a forest?
Durge: No, our first date, not the first time we had sex. Gods. What do you think of me? I’m not a beast.
Astarion: Darling, we have been trudging through the wilderness since the moment we met. We have literally never been on a date.
Durge: Yes we have! It was on the beach, remember? It was perfect. You were perfect!
Astarion: Do you mean when I held a knife to your throat outside the smouldering ruins of a ship full of eldritch horrors and threatened to kill you?!
Durge (all dreamy smiles and googley-eyed): Yes, it was wonderful. Almost as good as our second date, when you bit me and finally made good on your promise!
Astarion: Absolutely none of that was a—oh gods. Was leaving me behind when the crèche blew up your idea of a proposal?!
Durge: Of course dear, I didn’t want you to think I don’t return your feelings!

It feels like Rules of Engagement as a series, but especially book 3, was specifically made for me because it’s about two of my favorite things — travel and weddings. And getting to replay it while I’m in the process of planning my own wedding is so much fun 😍

3/4 in today's ep 6, and I feel like crying already.
Tw- homophobia
There's been a lot of dislike towards Lom, but his situation, his story, is a sad, sad reality in many parts of the world. Even today. In some families, people just never come out because there's so much to lose. You can lose your parents, your family (who, by the way, are considered the main support and identity providers in many cultures) and you hate how they can not accept you, but you can not cut them off either. Perhaps you need them, or you love them even after everything. Sometimes, in some parts, there's the chance of losing your life should you ever disclose your non normative sexual identity or orientation. Even if it doesn't turn mortally dangerous, heteronormativity can be so prominent that publicly disclosing your orientation, openly having a same sex relationship is not possible for many in face of social ostracization.
Lavender marriages happen a lot. Sometimes, it's the only way out, like for Yiwa. (For Lom, too? He won't be harassed by his mother's nagging about marriage anymore.) And sometimes, you can not tell your secret to anyone, not even to your friends. That's just painful. Knowing you're attraction and/or love isn't like "everyone else" as a teen, being told "that doesn't fit in our culture, it's ok, but it's for the western coutries", "it's a phase/fling" for years, it gets too much sometimes.
(Suddenly remembering Badhaai Do....)
Idk, it just speaks to me personally. The pain of knowing that some people you love and care about would never accept you wholly, the fact that you may have to play a hide-and seek game... Cause Yiwa, Marine, Lom—we may come across actual people like these characters any day. It might be one of my queer friends. It might be me. Lavender marriages are still a reality. when are we gonna get equal rights in marriage and everything else
ANyway, gonna go finish watching the rest now. And because this is fiction, can I hope that Yiwa's and Marine's, and Lom's and Nuea's story would have a happy resolution? (And their mums would get some repercussions? Maybe a few slaps? Some scratches from Marine? This is fiction after all!)

I learned how much weddings cost the other day, and man. That is Insane to me that anyone would spend more than like $3,000 for the whole thing. I definitely understand the appeal of having a beautiful setting for such an important life event, but the practice of people doing catering and renting all these fancy things so that all their parents’ friends and third cousins and people you don’t even know can have a mediocre $70 meal and dance for two hours is beyond me. I would be selling tickets on fucking Ticketmaster if my relatives wanted to come. Pay for it your own goddamn self

my favourite tags include: lovers to enemies to lovers actually, does claudio get a character arc? it's a toss up, and some days you have to be the wedding planning au you want to see in the world
