YERIN HA AS SOPHIE BAEK IN BRIDGERTON SEASON 4 PART 1

2,256 CAPS, PART 1 (603), PART 2 (546), PART 3 (557), AND PART 4 (550)

Netflix needs to stop breaking things into two parts, I hate it.

Sophie is one of my FAVORITE love interests in this series, and Yerin is killing it. I couldn't resist capping her now. I'll be doing Benedict for sure, not sure about everyone else! I'm open to requested faces if they're mains.

I am looking at the prices in the Stronghold Builder's Guide again
and I don't know what they were thinking
but it's hilarious to try and imagine
just how much Basic Bedroom Suite I could afford
for 800gp.

I think 1gp may have made it to £1,000gbp the other day, with the gold price gone so up.

I am trying to imagine how to spend £800,000 in a bedroom.

That room comes with spectacular amenities, and probably specialist staff...

Actually useful: all these bedrooms and bedroom suites specify the existence of a privy even if they don't draw one on any map anywhere. Seriously, there isn't a symbol for it that I could see. What is it with game map makers pretending the loo doesn't exist.
But it means other DnD products that specify 'bedroom' can be read to also mean 'and privy' because this book defines it so.

... I am once again trying to translate DnD suggested Throne card keeps into Pathfinder useful maps and costs and definitions. Pathfinder lets you buy toilets, so if they're not listed they don't exist, but DnD is giving bundled definitions.

Pathfinder also has the possibility of running water plumbing through the whole town (if you install some Decanters of Endless Water) and has magic item baths (clean water you can specify the temperature of) and toilets (also self cleaning).

Both settings have routine adventures set in sewers *but map nothing that connects to a sewer*.

It's ridiculous.

Pathfinder at least has sewer connection as a buyable option. It just doesn't draw it.

And yet I find forum jokes about The Obligatory Dungeon Toilet
as if that is commonly drawn at all
and like
yes?
if you are mapping every five foot square
one at least will explain the waste disposal situation
or lack thereof.

But these are maps that commonly imply a bed is a minimum of five feet wide and ten feet long.

Dramatis Personae, from the POV of the major NPCs:

Sir Robin, Lord of Asineau Village, with Greymalkin the wingless gryphon
Celyn Bettws, Lord's Consort in Asineau
Viepuck, squire and herald to Sir Robin, with Es*tiaslos the purple eldritch flying octopus
and
Izgil, the dwarf scholar who hangs out in Asineau

When we left off we had just killed a dragon.

( So we packed up our nonsense and returned to Asineau. )

Today is the start of Angel’s Month, the month when traditionally I treat myself to whatever I want – within reason. It was a nice counterbalance to the 11 other months when I diligently labored in the workplace. Now that I’m retired, though, I more or less permit myself to do whatever I need – anytime – so maybe Angel’s Month is an artifact of the past. I guess we’ll see.

I could put Ratthi in a seat, cover him with the webbing, and sit next to him. He’ll probably be safe enough that way, and about as comfortable as he’s going to be with that massive wound on his right thigh and all the other, smaller injuries he gathered over the course of being kidnapped by complete bastards for four hours, thirty-seven minutes, and fifteen seconds.

I sit in one of the seats, on top of the webbing, and arrange Ratthi so he’ll be as comfortable as I can make him, and then just hold on to him tightly. Because he might be a little more comfortable outside the webbing. And also because Ratthi was kidnapped by bastards for four hours, thirty-seven minutes, and fifteen seconds, and they shot him and injured him in various ways, and he’s probably traumatized and needs someone to hold on to him.

Did I mention that Ratthi had to watch Gurathin get beaten up, because the Kidnapping Bastards were trying to get Ratthi to give them information that didn’t even exist, and the more he tried to explain that to them, the worse they were to Gurathin? Because that also happened.

So yeah, Ratthi’s traumatized. And no, I’m not letting go of him before I have to.

If Gurathin's honest with himself, he's never really been sure whether what he and Ratthi are doing qualifies as sex. Not that he needs sex in the traditional way. He's tried it many times, several different ways. Nothing's ever felt as good as Ratthi feeding from him. Nothing's ever worked as well. But he thinks, sometimes, that if Ratthi did ever want to try anything different, he'd go along with it happily.

(Or: Ratthi and Gurathin have normal sex behind a closed door. SecUnit will be so proud.)

The weekend has flown by, yet again. Mother is more worried about the hematoma that I acquired beneath my upper arm than I am. It's a long red bruise. I have ice on it. Read up on hematomas - and apparently they are only an issue if you feel dizzy, faint, run a fever, have tingling in the digits, have one near the brain or abdomen. Arms, shoulders and legs, not so much. And it takes 1-4 weeks for them to heal. If somewhat lumpy, sore, and colorful - normal.

It's fine. I have ice on it at the moment - finally figured out how to do it. Also been told via mother's cousin - that heat helps.

I've been using a CALM APP to calm my nerves and help with the negative emotions. It helps. Best app that I've found to date, and cheaper than Headspace.

Television

* The Pitt S2 is up on HBO, and it's still good. It's one shift, hour by hour for July 4th, Doctor Robie's last shift before he goes on sabbatical, and the first shift for two doctor's who were away on sabbatical. The series is a hyper-realistic medical procedure that takes place entirely in the ER of an American inner city hospital in Pittsburgh, otherwise known as The Pitt. It's by far the most realistic medical drama that I've seen. The only other one that comes close is the UK series This is Gonna Hurt - starring Ben Whinslaw, and I found difficult to watch. The Pitt isn't quite as raw, nor as bloody as This is Gonna Hurt (which is about an London NHS obstetrics unit). If you want to watch the latter series - it's on Netflix, and was done by AMC and I think ITV. Netflix by the way - has the worst interface on streaming. It's close to impossible to rewind or fast forward, stop or pause on Netflix. I really hate Netflix's interface - it's always crashing my wifi on my television set. If it didn't have great programming, I'd ditch it.

I'm stretching this one out. It stars Noah Wyle, and the daughters of Brad Douriff (horror king), and Bryan Cranston, in supporting roles. Basically ER for grownups.

* Bridgerton S4 Part I - this is Benedict Bridgerton's book, and it has issues. The set up is pretty much the Cinderella trope - a popular and (ahem) overdone (IMO) trope. I am admittedly biased against it. I didn't like the original Cinderella. And the only version that kind of works for me is the one with Drew Barrymore or Sondheim's Into the Woods. (My favorite fairy tale trope is the original Snow Queen - I like it when the woman saves the guy, not the other way around). This is also a highly controversial book among romance readers - ( Read more... )

But Bridgerton is a bit of a satire, as are Julie Quinn's novels - they are making fun of the snobby British Class System.

I've got more to say, but alas time has jumped away from me and I must mosey on to bed.

Tomorrow will be a long and cold day - with work and PT afterwards.

It remains below freezing, and I remain inside most of the day. I got my laundry done by going to the basement and I spent a little time at the gym by walking down the block to get to the relevant building. Other than that, it's not just been inside my building, but inside my apartment. There's not much desire to get out and head around right now, especially not with a day as slow as a Sunday. I had the possibility to make it more rapid, but I hadn't gotten myself together early enough in the day to spend three hours at the movies far downtown - a screening of Short Cuts - and I'm doing what I can to tell myself it'll come back around sometime.

That said, staying close by got the laundry done, got me to the gym for one of those "something is better than nothing" sessions, and got some lunch prep done, so I can live with that.

Today was what Inspiration Trail is supposed to be! The weather was perfect, sunny under high clouds with no wind, and my ebird list was forty-five species, not a record but very satisfying. Two migratory species that I had not seen or heard there in three months showed up, Varied Thrush and Fox Sparrow, making me wonder if they are on the move again. Also first Mourning Dove since August! Where do they go? Not only was there a Say's Phoebe at the North end of the trail, as last time, but while I was sitting in the dip on return I heard two calling simultaneously. Three? Amazing. There was a Western Bluebird / House Finch / Yellow-rumped Warbler flock on the hillside below the trail out to the point, also containing a few Dark-Eyed Juncos, some Purple Finches, two Golden-crowned Sparrows, and a California Towhee. I also heard or saw less expected species: American White Pelican, less regular on the reservoir lately; a pair of Great Horned Owls hooting presumably at each other somewhere down slope; a Belted Kingfisher rattling overhead; Red-winged Blackbirds singing by the lower pond and flying west in small flocks as they do this time of year. ( The list: )

I sat in the dip eating apple slices for quite a while, listening for Brown Creeper. Merlin suggested it several times, but I heard nothing. Merlin and I often hear different birds, or perhaps my my range is decreasing. But I hear Brown Creepers in Tilden every week and sometimes on this trail, just not when Merlin does.

Have watched first disc of Constantine.
Want to watch them all in a row but unfortunately then I will have watched them.

The theology of the horror story is still deeply screwed
but
I can entirely believe the character John Constantine believes the things that lead him to choose as he does.

Also if anyone turned up preaching happy shiny forgiveness better way to him he would be *angry* angry.
Where were the alternatives when he was looking?
... in Legends of Tomorrow, sometimes, maybe, but not here on his own show.

The way horror tragedy constructs the story to lock the ever so sympathetic main character into
Hard Choices
is a great big Thing.

Of course there should be a better way, but then we wouldn't be in this genre, so you get a story that believes in the Fall but is at best equivocal about redemption.

Interesting enough stories, compelling as ever character.

Here are Andy Samberg and Elle Fanning in a commercial that I guess will appear somewhere during next week's Super Bowl, costing the folks who make this product half a jillion dollars.

I was a bit confused about whether it was for Hellman's mayonnaise or Best Foods as there are online versions of this spot for each. I became unconfused when I came across this online explanation from A.I. which, as we all know, is never wrong about anything…

Hellmann's and Best Foods are essentially the same mayonnaise, owned by Unilever, but sold under different names due to strong regional loyalty: Hellmann's dominates the East, while Best Foods is used in the West (west of the Rockies) in the U.S., with both having identical recipes and ingredients as of recent years, though some consumers claim subtle taste differences. Best Foods acquired Hellmann's in 1932, but kept both names to satisfy local preferences, with the iconic blue ribbon and creamy texture remaining consistent across both brands, despite the regional split.

The most interesting thing to me about this spot is that it was shot at my favorite delicatessen, Canter's Deli over on Fairfax. I've been going there for a long time. Over lunch at Canter's in 1969 is where Jack Kirby swore me and my pal Steve Sherman to secrecy, told us he was about to leave Marvel to join DC and asked us to become his assistants. I go to Canter's often although one day a few months ago, I went and found it was closed because someone was filming something there. Maybe it was this commercial.

I don't think, by the way, Canter's uses Hellman's or Best Foods mayo, though maybe they do now. In the past, if you asked for mayo on anything there — especially corned beef or pastrami — the servers were apparently ordered to give you a withering sneer…

Dear Self,

You are 35,657 words into your Jeremiah femslash story. You are in the final chapter, which is meant as a glorified epilogue. You just discovered that Femslash February is a thing, meaning if you hurry up, you can pretend your plodding pace was intentional. You are halfway through the chapter, with 5,621 words behind you and roughly the same amount to go.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE ADDING PLOT. PLOT CAN BE SAVED FOR OTHER STORIES.

Sincerely,
Smarter Self
