olivia cooke opened instagram to call emma d’arcy hot and then closed the app… and absolutely nothing about the show winning. she’s just a funny girl to me
carla gugino playing a gay milf in a toxic relationship with a younger woman, surrounded by an ensemble of even more women, and you expect me NOT to tune in like??
a show with acclaimed/established actors like nicole kidman, zoe saldana, and morgan freeman is only getting hype because of the gay storyline…. the power of 2 brunettes with chemistry and a dream
the rosalia and hunter news, chappell roan bringing some personality to the scene, billie eilish song about eating a girl out… there’s a shift happening
lucia played/scammed albie and is now live, laugh, and loving with mia by her side, who got the permanent gig at the hotel… valentina’s happy, not embarrassing me anymore, and going to gay bars with mia and lucia??? my girls made it out
#TheWhiteLotus
“you’ve only just arrived”: a masterclass in desperation. you can see exactly how desperate alicent was to revive any sort of relationship with rhaenyra, how desperate she was to greet her on her arrival, how desperate she was to look at her at the table
THEYRE GOING TO PLAY A COUPLE!!!!!
"Living in a world destroyed by climate change Olsen and Vikander will play a successful young power couple who want to start a family, but must allow as "Assessor" into their lives first"
this was actually beyond anything i could have wanted for this scene, for alicent, and so much more than what an attempted drowning could have brought. so gorgeous, a fleeting moment so full of life, and the culmination of a yearning for an escape
alicent looking directly at the scar she gave rhaenyra and rhaenyra covering it up earlier in the episode to alicent running her thumb along her arm after they’ve made their toasts to each other later on????? my god
the best actor on the show to the point where they saw olivia brilliantly drawing out the reaction and decided to lock onto the shot for the audience to see the physical response of her inner conflict and unravelling, moving toward her inevitable breakthrough moment
her ex linking up with another girl, rotten food in her face, publicly falling on her ass, the aftermath of her son trying to kill her other son, most men around her weird as fuck, suicide attempt imminent, etc., but she’ll still come out on top
rachel weisz kissing women in multiple productions, admiring all of the beautiful women etc., happily married to her queer adjacent husband, and minds her own business like maybe cate blanchett can learn a thing or two
lily and riley’s characters fucking it out after 2 episodes….. lily with the supreme butch voice activated, riley with her veteran gay for pay smile and eye contact combo in every scene with lily, it was just inevitable
the contrast in yasmin letting the hurt and anger dance on her face in so many different ways vs harper letting hints of the hurt she feels just barely taste her features before visibly swallowing it all down to put up the same tired facade of indifference
which is going to make their dynamic even sweeter once alicent shows up with terms…. a humbled alicent and a hardened rhaenyra. rhaenyra riding a high, who won’t consider the terms, taking her prisoner instead. alicent offering herself up either way. it’s delicious
alicent would’ve cherished private acknowledgement from rhaenyra, but to publicly and unabashedly give her that ounce of validation she’s needed ever since she was thrown into these responsibilities meant more than anything else
we’ve got very troubled people on tiktok talking about how matt smith playing with his hair is “female gaze” (used wrong/very stupidly like woah) but as soon as olivia cooke inks a fenty deal it’s for the “male gaze”… maybe stop using words that you don’t understand
olivia cooke and emma d’arcy making sure that it’s cemented in everyone’s minds, every chance they get, that alicent and rhaenyra were in love and need/want each other, crave intimacy from the other, etc... they’re my people idk
