i cant believe the crown had a weird episode and a half rehabilitation of the Duke of Windsor/David, with Charles' simpering admiration for how "daring" and "original" he is, without once bringing up the fact that he was A GODDAMN NAZI
like a full bore, hitler befriending, state secret selling ass nazi, and so was wallis
honestly fucking bizarre to bring that up in one episode and then just... never speak of it again and give him a weird fulsome/melancholy rehabilitation (and her the duty of Wisdom about Love)
(i know they addressed it in s2, but the s3 episode "dangling man" undoes that fully)

i have begun drinking (i am adhering to the finnish tradition of Kalsarikänni, or getting drunk in your underwear and staying in) and will confine the results to this thread
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantsdrunk
what's a good drinking game for The Crown?
im thinking
-drink every time anyone has a mustache
-drink every time theres a royal photo sitting
-drink every time Elizabeth looks pained
-drink for a royal protocol dispute
-drink when a newspaper hed is a crucial plot

visited the grave of my college roommate and close friend joanna today. she died by suicide in 2013, at 22. there's still a hole in my life where she was. it never goes away, really. depression is a curse.
I will also never forgive or forget that while she was on academic probation after a deep bout of depression & suicidality, I did what all kids are taught to do - reported to authority (a dean). They reacted by banning her from campus, isolating her from all her friends.
Fuck Harvard. They covered their ass and my friend died.

im watching "the dogs of war" rn and theres a second Defiant!!! also im so so sad
It took me awhile to push through the last half of season 7 because a) the all-serialization was hit or miss for me and b) much more potently, I WILL MISS THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH

i finally finished Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN. It is amazingly and also sometimes beautifully melodramatic. Like Goth monster Hamlet. The monster is SO ELOQUENT and I cant get over how that was totally erased in every film!
also Victor Frankenstein gets a horrible fever every time he gets bad news. for like months at a time.
also, SO many beautiful descriptions of lakes! made me really want to visit Geneva someday.
