Reason Why Frasier Is Such An Underrated Show: Whenever Niles Tries Something To Stop Daphne From Dating

reason why frasier is such an underrated show: whenever niles tries something to stop daphne from dating another man (and his flare-ups of jealousy are never done as much as corresponding nice guys on friends or himym) it's not played off as cute or acceptable or something that's justified because he's 'the nice guy who was in love with her all along'. in fact, in most of the examples I can think of, after getting some sense slapped into him niles always ends up supporting daphne in her romantic relationships because he knows it's the right thing to do.

and even though niles is the archetypal 'dogged nice guy' trope, the show makes him actively examine the flawed lens he's regarded daphne through all these years, before he actually gets the girl (at least, in a sexual sense). it's not a case of 'nice guy gets rewarded because he's nice and was a stalker with a crush', it's a case of niles only being able to be in a full and healthy relationship with daphne once he's sorted through those years of longing and come to see her as a fully fledged human being, not just an object of adoration.

“Beef” is about so many fucking things, but ultimately it’s about the hardship of being human, the ultimate disappointment and disillusionment that you go through year after year when things don’t go your way and you’re miserable or when everything goes your way and you’re still miserable. When you think you’re living life right but you’re still so fucking unhappy and NOTHING fills the void that spasms inside of you and and and because of this feeling, that life isn’t what you thought it was going to be, the rage pot boils and it boils over and it spills onto everything.

And fuck fuck fuck, it’s about two people who are so disconnected from everyone else in their life because of this feeling that the only person they connect to toxically is each other, because this rage is known, this misery is shared, and even though it’s so fucking destructive, at least it’s not lonely anymore.

5 gifs from the Soviet Armenian film "The Color of Pomegranates.

Gif 1: The poet as a child is walking sideways on a roof with a huge book in his arms. Open books are lying on the roof in front of the child.
Gif 2: Water is being pressed out of wet books by someone laying a big, heavy engraved stone table on them.
Gif 3: The child is sitting on the roof, reading the book he was carrying earlier.
Gif 4: The child's hand on top of a big book. Three smaller books are resting on his hand. An older person is putting their hand on top of these books.
Gif 5: The child is laying on his back on a roof. He is surrounded by open books. The pages flutter in the wind.

The thing about Wes Anderson's films is that I don't always connect with the stories he is telling, but by fucking god do I appreciate the craftmanship that went into making them.

It's genuinely so baffling to me when people think it's weird or sad that I want to stay single forever or that I'm going to "die alone". I have tried not being single I truly don't understand how people do it. What do you mean there's another person just like. In your house. Where you live. All the time, even when you get home from work?!? Just. I guess do you and chase your bliss and whatever but damn. Couldn't be me. No fucking thank you I'm good.

I'm convinced, that "Koisenu futari" is an extremely underrated show. The importance of its existence is simply enormous. Not only because of the aroace representation, but also because of how it helps allosexual people see what life and relationships can look like from a completely different perspective. How it teaches them to be more open and accepting of people who are different from them. And how it completely destroys all the patterns of modern film industry, considering that even in children's cartoons there is still, not very big, but usually at least some kind of romantic plotline for the main character. I'm so in love with this drama that I just can't

Just finished watching season 2 of Broadchurch. Tbh I lost interest about halfway through, but I wanted to finish it. It was so frustrating to watch. It bothered me that Beth seemed to be so upset at the fact that Mark cheated on her, but not at the fact that HE HIT DANNY. I thought the lawyers might develop some interesting story lines but, unfortunately, they just didn't do it for me. I could've done without the Sandbrook story line or maybe if they changed what happened/who killed the girls it would have been more interesting. Anyway, I did enjoy the first season of Broadchurch! I just wasn't a huge fan of this one. I probably won't watch the last season.

“Eun-hee… When you’re tired or sad, try looking at your fingers. Then, one by one, move them around. It’ll feel very mysterious. You feel like you can’t do anything, but you can move your fingers.”
