Once again, the weekly roundup of my corner of Tumblr:

 

My posts

Now all my crape myrtles have mildew. Additionally, I have hurt my back yet again and I am scuncht about it. Thus, I’m on muscle relaxers again, so here’s hoping this post is lucid. 

Also, I underestimated how many people really, really needed to hear good news about the “my husband and FIL insist I will die in childbirth” woman on AITA back in 2020.

That about sums up my reaction to Under Paris. I like Berenice Bejo, so I stayed with it, but dear lord... O_O XD

It legit took me a minute to realize what movie you were talking about, because “Under Paris” sounds vague and classy. I finally had scan up and down the links and go, “ohhhhh, Chomps Élysées.”

No doubt why they chose it. Much classier than Jaws' Bastard Cousin Combined with Deep Blue Sea and the 1998 Godzilla... in France!
