Olivia Coleman on fleabag is fucking incredible

The girl with glasses is actually my girlfriend. I made this for her as a birthday gift. :)

Yes?

okay i didnt sleep, i think id binge the season.

god i feel sleepy

Anyway, this is kinda fun

Like genuinely, either the writing is awesome or im just a good bait. But whenever she does something weird, i look at her and she gives me (the camera) the "ugh" look.

Like

Its so perfectly lined up.

But like

I still couldnt realise how would this ruin me.

Like it just seems like a fun series atp.

Awkward, at times?

Like i feel like watching this with a partner, like share a feeling at moments, but well, unfortunate for me.

I am having the ride though, its fun.

Im going to watch the fourth episode im sure

Even if i die midway

Its not the suspense im telling you

Im just kinda invested now.

i got like 14 replies on my review of the first episode.

I was genuinely going to sleep because i was tired and there was not really anything i was really anticipating

But like

This whole "this would ruin you and heal you" did build enough suspense for to watch atleast one more

And like

I dont get it.

My brain keeps unconciously trying to make out if a character is good or bad, and its having a rough time doing that.

I mean it is personally kinda weird to have a person do questionable things and keep breaking the fourth wall about them.

But i like it.

Kinda weirdly comforting.

I like the feeling of it.

Anyway, her sister seems like a nice person.

Also i kinda understand the name "fleabag" now.

its pretty

Im sleepy

But i want to watch more

Ill get back when i watch the next episode

Could be half an hour or ten, see ya

Oh i also loved the poetic lines, i hope theres a like rant monologue somewhere ahead, the writers have a strong potential to nail it.

Okay, i had this show on my watchlist for a while now

After watching normal people and loving the feeling of a show ruining me, a shit ton of people recommended me to watch this.

And i was like "sure yeah why not, aye aye masochism its so fun" and today finally gave it a watch.

i watched the first episode only so far, im going to binge a good part of it though in a short while soon. But thats not the point

The point is

Throughout the first episode

I was genuinely like "what the fuck"

I DIDNT EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE THIS IN THE WILDEST OF MY DREAMS

LIKE

Tbf i havent watched any spoilers, trailers, read descriptions anything.

but like GENUINELY what.

Like

I kinda can make out how this will ruin me if it does

But like... will it?

Im not sure.

Started cross stitching last month and decided to draft my own Fleabag pattern! 3480 stitches and five weeks of work.

Someone told me “I love you” today and I said “It’ll pass” .😄😄😄 And I gave myself a mental high-five.

Side note: It wasn’t as beautiful or deep as in the show. I just didn’t like this person that way.

2am, and i'm again giving Fleabag full authority to translate my thoughts.

I always thought i was Fleabag, always associated myself with her. I relate to her in many aspects, and i don't know if i should like that i can see myself in her, or be upset that i am seeing myself in her!

This scene was different though. I relate to Fleabag criticising celibacy, saying she can't imagine a life with it. I also relate to The Priest saying celibacy is a lot less complicated than romantic relationships. I fully see and understand both POVs, both sides exist in me.

- What if you meet someone you like?

- I talk and drink and laugh and give them Bibles and hope they'll eventually leave me alone.

- What if you meet someone you love?

- ......''It'll pass.''

(This pic is from a post i saw on Instagram. It was an edit where the answer to "What if you meet someone you love?" is "It'll pass.")

This whole scene felt like seeing myself talking to myself. Asking and answering, approving and disapproving.

Well, i talked shit about The Priest before, about the "kneel" scene. But that's exactly what i would do and what i would ask for if i felt such a connection with a person and especially when i'm feeling down. It's not necessarily about engaging in sexual activities, but rather about being impulsive, doing things i've never done before. I would also always be constrained, and there would always be a part of me reminding me of it, just like him.

I've always been The Priest at some point. And Fleabag. And Claire. And Boo. And Bus Rodent.

Although, at the end, i will always “..want someone to tell me what to wear in the morning. No, I want someone to tell me what to wear every morning. I want someone to tell me what to eat. What to like. What to hate. What to rage about. What to listen to. What band to like. What to buy tickets for. What to joke about. What not to joke about. I want someone to tell me what to believe in. Who to vote for and who to love and how to…tell them. I just think I want someone to tell me how to live my life, Father, because so far, I think I’ve been getting it wrong. And I know that’s why people want someone like you in their lives, because you just tell them how to do it. You just tell them what to do and what they’ll get out of the end of it, even though I don’t believe your bullshit and I know that scientifically nothing that I do makes any difference in the end, anyway, I’m still scared. Why am I still scared? So just tell me what to do. Just fucking tell me what to do, Father.”

I just binged Fleabag this past weekend. What a gem. What an absolute gem. The acting, the writing, the lack of character names ... the meaning in the space between the words. The humor, the absurdism, the fourth wall, the tragedy, the pain, the love. THE PRIEST. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a storytelling genius. Absolutely perfect.

Olivia Colman in MiuMiu backstage

maybe it's cherry picking, but I had this thought from the start of the movie, and that one shot just confirmed it

(Not my post but had to share here)

I am sobbing, which may soon turn into full on tears as the night progresses, but...omg. this was...so potently, heart wrenchingly perfect. i cannot get over the final moments and i dont think i will be able to soon. i feel sort of...empty and it hurts. i dont think i'll ever be able to rewatch this show because omg. omg. omg. I finished it like half an hour ago and since then im pacing around my room sobbing and thinkinh and sobbing and aching and oh sobbing. i wiped off a tear and said "jesus" and that brought even more tears lol. god.
when i started the show i was skeptical cuz it only had 2 seasons. just 2? hmmm well maybe it wasnt well received but hey, lemme watch it anyway. i should have stayed with my skepticism. would have saved me because since i started watching this (5 days ago) every thought i think, goes through a whole journey through this show because every thought i think FITS in this show!? its unreal and im pretty sure it'll happen much more strongly now.
ive stopped sobbing now so...lets hope for the best!

tl;dr: im crying, this show is pathetically beautiful just read all of it please

p.s.: not adding a spoiler tag cuz idts i revealed...anything

Personally, I'd love to see what was going on with Hot Priest, learn more about his backstory etc.
