Genuinely obsessed with The Hunting Wives, but also with the fact that they're being called 'middle aged women' I'm screaming
#like literally screaming bc I'm same age bracket and now horrified lol#like one of them literally just had an abortion#although I guess with the state of the world and the firearms surrounding them contributing to a possible shorter life expectancy#mid to late 30s is probably middle aged actually yeah#screaming again#🤣😭#the hunting wives#I fucken love it

someone told me that when they feel nervous about doing something & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their "inner applause" because their body is cheering them on, and i think that's the sweetest narrative adjustment ever.
#all very well and good until the “inner applause” is applausing driving in a straight line along a windy road#or throwing oneself off a ledge#not to make a sweet thing dark and twisted like#but Hello intrusive thoughts!#“why did you do the Almost Deadly Thing?”#“my heart was cheering me on idk it was sweet really so I listened”#lol 🙃

Gill/Rachel in 3.05 “Witness”
I'm just giving him half an hour. He got very upset when we kicked off by arresting him for Sheila's murder. Kind of went downhill from there.

Berena January Drabbles
Quiet
It is quiet now that Bernie has gone. Serena knows that the usual hustle and bustle of the ward is right outside her office door, but somehow she feels strangely disconnected from it these days. Keeps her door closed, hides herself away as much as she can. She can't bear the pitying looks, can't bear the whispers behind her back - the rumour mills being what they always have been at the hospital. Of course this isn't the first time she fuelled them, but she wished the reason could have been another one than her begging Bernie not to go.

Day 31 of Berena Drabble December — thank you all for reading along this month!
Prompt: Fireworks
Set in Spain on New Year’s Eve after Bernie’s return
—————————————————————
Bernie doesn’t like fireworks. They remind her too much of the friends she’s lost and the explosions that caused her own brushes with death. Her captivity.
Serena had realised on their first New Year’s Eve together that Bernie hated the noise, so this year — their first since Bernie’s return, only their second together — she’s made a plan. She’s booked a cottage in the mountains, as far away from civilisation as possible, and she’s taking Bernie there.
She’ll make paella, they’ll have some wine, and then she’ll do her best to start their new year with fireworks of a different kind.

P.S. I’ve already had a random word generator give me a new list of prompts for January (which I’ll post later), so I guess these drabbles will continue until I get bored … 😉
I love how I've now seen Sir Ian McKellen twice on stage, once in Mother Goose where he did a striptease, and now a second time in Wicked Sisters acting like a dog (albeit via pre-recorded video).
#I'm sure he is Very Serious on stage sometimes#but having never seen it I now just think of him as Gandalf and a quirky lil panto queer#quite hilarious actually#he was a very good Toto#and some very funny shade towards James Corden#ian mckellen#you shall not bark#lolol#wicked sisters#pleasance theatre#my Mam being in awe of me having seen him on stage and me just being like#'yeah in mother goose he stripped and then afterwards when he signed my programme I complimented him on his rainbow painted nails'#and then 'yeah tbf Mam he was brilliant as Toto his tongue reaches really far down his chin and he had some great dog puns'#Mam like 😳#🤣🤣
