Well they also look like they belong together somehow. Not necessarily hooking up but you know.
I think they should try playing Legos instead
Oh their chemistry as friends is great. The show put a lot of effort into getting them to find their footing there and they balance each other out well. They make great partners in crime, as characters, but the romance is very much "well, he's the Main One and she's the Girl One, so..."
I mean I can see why they wanted to give innie Mark a love interest who wasn't Gemma or Miss Casey, for plot reasons. Like the story potential is off the charts. Unfortunately the Helly romance plays out as the least interesting parts of both of their characters and looks so so forced.
#holding out a tenuous little hope that they'll lean in to that at some point#have them acknowledge that they never would have hooked up outside of a pressure cooker#<- agree with prev#also Adam Scott was awful in both romances#genuinely think the flashbacks would've been better served spending time on establishing that he and Gemma love each other#than the whole 'wife sad no baby' thing#insane that they managed to both fridge Gemma and revive her to make her sad about not getting pregnant#i'm sure they'll have some watsonian explanation that makes the miscarriage important#but from a doylist perspective it really felt like they only knew how to write smiling under bed covers and dead#plus no baby woman's greatest tragedy for Gemma's character (those are what a wife can be)#felt like a waste of an episode to spend so much time not even giving Mark and Gemma chemistry#though given how believable the other romances in the show are#i genuinely think Adam Scott just can't do romances very well

doing normal stuff while listening to metal is so funny because I'm eating cereal and this guy is screaming at me
#used to do metal brunch twice a month#it was great we'd make mimosas and french toast while in corpse paint just absolutely blasting metal#when the 40 days for life people would come to town we'd make it into a picnic and go do it in front of them#with signs like 'jesus should've been aborted' and 'satan loves you'#they called the cops on us once but the cops made everyone leave so after that they just had to deal#i miss metal brunch

fish is a minor npc from my dnd campaign. she is a nixie who appears as a school of fish underwater, and humanoid on land.
this mini diorama is made of clear & blue plastic sheets and 3d printed fish. the plastic box is empty inside; the fish are all glued to each other and to the top of the box.

There's obviously bigger issues with the way trans women are depicted in media, but a pet peeve of mine is how many of them barely change their name. Like, okay, sure, maybe a newly out girl who is trying to be as inconspicuous as possible would go from, like, Jeff -> Jess or Victor -> Victoria.
But a girl who radically changed her whole look and personality in defiance of the world around her wouldn't change two letters in her name, the writers for the show are just lazy.
Have the name change make sense for the character, c'mon.

i get that it is recreationally fun to whine and hate. i support all whiners and haters and i agree nintendo should be bankrupted and have to sell all its games for negative ninety dollars. but if new mario games are $80 i just think its really easy to not buy new mario games. like when peoplare like "games are 1 squillion dollars" im like okay maybe for you if you want to buy the new zelda or cod the day of release. for Me, video games are like $15. sometimes $0

Do you have a director you would trust for a Carmilla adaptation/reworking?
i do think that the op is right in that we should try to find a dyke who is completely over sanitized sapphic relationships and wants to go absolutely ham on toxic yuri but since i'm not familiar with a director that fits that description my top two choices would be, in order:
Karyn Kusama: Directed Jennifer's Body, exec producer on Yellowjackets, clearly would understand the assignment.
John Fawcett: Directed Ginger Snaps, co-creator of Orphan Black, which has a toxic lesbian relationship that involves stuff like kidnapping and experimenting on your girlfriend. I'm a little less certain he would understand that the base of horror in old school vampires is that they act very humanly predatory, abusive, and manipulative but it's like 90% vs 100% with Kusama.
There's plenty of other directors that I think are better choices than Del Toro and Eggers, like Jordan Peele (has a stronger grasp of the fear of social change inherent in gothic horror, as well as the horror of interpersonal violence), Ana Lily Amirpour or Francis Ford Coppola (have made some of the IMO better vampire movies), or the director duo for Abigail (2024) (clear understanding of vampires torturing/manipulating people for fun, plus I'm always a fan of genre blending in horror and Abigail was a good vampire slasher and i would love to see them expand to the gothic and/or psychological horror Carmilla would require), or the Cairnes siblings (just good at horror), etc, etc but none of them really come close to Kusama or Fawcett
all of this also comes with the very strong caveat that i also don't really believe in the auteurship of directors and quite strongly think movies are a group project that would not function without the crew as a whole. so i think that you should also cast insane lesbians, get them on the editing team, have one as the boom operator, etc. i wanna hear that someone on crew stabbed someone over relationship drama. or have something like when the titanic crew tried to poison james cameron with pcp but because of unrequited crush reasons instead of james cameron is an arsehole reasons
i would also take my opinions on movie horror with a solid grain of salt, as i really prefer books and comics as horror more than film. i do think i have passing familiarity with horror cinema but it's very much not an area i would say i have an in depth expertise on.

#i genuinely like Del Toro but do just agree that he's not really the best choice for Carmilla#not really someone i would consider a horror director#despite having strong horror elements in his films#Eggers i think is overrated as fuck#and out of his three big movies only the Lighthouse is really any good#which i am tempted to say is solely because Pattinson and Dafoe knock it out of the park#i did already make my criticism of Nosferatu (2024) clear#(doesn't understand the horror of either Dracula or Count Orlok and blends them in a way that cuts the edge off both)#(probably nothing worse than a horror director who doesn't understand what makes their film scary)#but can we also all agree the VVITCH is thoroughly mid?#it's poorly paced and the characters are underdeveloped for the length of film and small cast#and like. how important it is to the film that you understand how the main char becomes a witch#which is just absolutely shameful that the movie does not succeed on that front#feel like Eggers has a strong sense of aesthetic and nothing else#and so becomes popular amongst the crowd that loves to make and/or share gifs#which leads to overprominence on sites like this one#i'm not a huge follow this auteur sort of person#so i had to look up eggers#and i am fully in the swing of being like 'that's the guy what ruined nosferatu and made that ovverated witch movie!'#'i didn't know i disliked specifically him until now!'#so am probably railing on him a bit harder than i normally would devote time towards
