I’m enjoying “the story of his maid”

Thanks to the user who recommended it! I’ve watched 2 episodes so far on Youtube, can kind of guess what’s going to happen but that’s ok, sometimes you just need an escape. Because the Youtube subtitles are not always accurate, I missed why the Count needs to get married though?

O brother Where art Thou?

this Is a retelling of “the Odyssey” by the Coen brothers, the overall tone is absurd and over the top…you get the cyclops, the Sirens, and a version of Tiresias, the blind prophet. TW for animal cruelty and a disturbing scene involving the KKK, still highly recommended.

I wanted to like “a woman of substance…”

…but I’m not sure if I can continue. I am partway through episode 4, and i find myself getting triggered by the fact that Emma thinks she can raise her baby on her own. Blackie just proposed to her, and I want to yell at the screen because like, come on, being a single mother is HARD, it’s hard now and I imagine that it was even harder then. What is she thinking? Also, blackie is the biggest cinnamon roll. is this show worth watching to the end? Is there anything else that shows people with ambition, maybe with more likable characters?

Is it true that Catherine of Aragon had a better claim to the English throne than Henry VIII?

She is a direct descendant of Edward III through John of Gaunts daughter Catherine

Your Favorite underrated period drama couple with amazing chemistry?

Mine has to be Richard and Anne from the White Quuen-easily the most compelling part of that series. Their sex sex did some things to me 😁 and when I read “the Sunne in Splendour“ by Sharon Kay penman I was picturing these actors throughout

Do you think films that were contemporary for their time are now period dramas?

Specifically thinking of Black Orpheus (1959)

if you’re unfamiliar, it’s a retelling of the Greek myth set in Brazil

In your opinion, what’s a book that no witch should go without reading?

I realize this is kind of a broad topic, so I am particularly interested in reading more about spellcraft and history. Thank you

I just finished Mr sunshine

😭😮‍💨😩

what a story. I must write something to deal with the emotions 😭

this is about something that I was not really aware of, the Japanese occupation of Korea. (it took me ages to figure out that “Joseon“ meant Korea)

i looked up the history and this lasted until after world war 2, with hideous treatment of the native people and especially women

  • As an American I find this story inspiratIona in terms of doing the right thing
  • No one can yearn like Eugenes actor
  • i mourned Dong-Mae and the hotel owner the most, I wanted them to become a badass power coupe who would save everyone😭
  • Lee Wan ik looked just like the monopoly guy, imo
