Fleabag - Blog Posts
watching a movie isn't enough i need it to possess my soul and feed on my body
one of the many reasons Fleabag is so heartbreaking and relatable is because no one ever chose her. Not her family. Not her lovers. Not her supposed “soulmate”. The one person that picked her died. She was no one’s choice or option, not even to herself. The way we can feel her loneliness through the screen is enough to make me collapse into a mess of tears on the ground and shake uncontrollably
do sex scenes in (non porno) movies bother you?
Yes, theres no point in them
Yes, but only if there's alot of them
Yes, I'm sex repulsed
Yes, other reason
No, I think it can add to it (how?)
No, I think it's fine
No, other reason
I don't care
me when I have the fattest crush on someone who has taken vows of celibacy
Of lost chances, forbidden love and remorse.
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

It's been a few minutes,
My head on your shoulder, your arm around me
Neither of us utters a word.
What are you thinking?
You ask, breaking the silence.
I'm thinking,
About the day we finally accepted how we felt,
And then the world tilted, the hourglass turned,
How every day we're slipping away, gradually
One sand grain at a time.
I'm thinking,
How unfortunate it is that our fate's already written
That we were to be like parallel lines
Destined to be together
But not with each other.
I'm thinking,
How long are we going to take it, one day at a time?
One call, one heart emoji, one I miss you at a time.
Like a recovering addict,
Each day takes us twelve steps away from each other.
I'm thinking,
How the time we are together is snowglobe moments.
How we are confined to only a moment in time.
While the world around us moves on and on.
And we relive one perfect yet fragile moment.
I'm thinking,
How we belong to each other today,
For now.
How wonderful it'll be if the world ends today.
While you are mine and I'm yours.
So I don't have to see tomorrow.
When the hourglass is finally empty
When either of the parallel lines ends.
When we are so apart that we stand out of sight
When the snow globe falls to the floor, waking us up.
Instead,
I try to come back to that second,
To your voice, eyes, and presence,
Instead, I say,
I'm thinking about getting ice cream.
“I forgive you” “don’t bother” and “I love you” “it’ll pass” forever ruined me.
I wanna write about the love story of fleabag and the priest or just about the last episode of the second season.
Because I watched it while really high and it’s just so amazing, I’m not really good at writing but I would love to learn and also start reading more.
Especially now that ai is so used in essays and stuff I wanna show that I can actually write to my professors, or in general for work reasons.
Also so I can write my own legoshi smut.
Father, forgive me for I have sinned

The amount of hate I have for these characters…
SPOILER FOR FLEABAG
Fleabag and Boo were not in love. They were not romantically attracted to each other. They had a strong, beautiful friendship which transcended amatonormativity. Their love was so deep and so meaningful that people who're limited by the belief that only romantic love can be so, cannot comprehend how friends can love each other so purely and deeply.
This is what our amatonormative culture is doing - it's robbing us of the ability to appreciate real friendship, one which isn't beneath romantic relationships, one which isn't placed on the bottom of a relationship hierarchy, one where best friends talk to each other, and treat each other as if they're lovers; because they are, they are lovers in the sense that they have unconditional love for each other, they are lovers in the sense that they started a café together and stayed together to run it, they are lovers in the sense that Boo was Fleabag's emotional anchor when her mother passed away, instead of her boyfriend. They are lovers in every sense, except for the romantic one.
Another thing I absolutely love about Fleabag - the show - is the fact that Fleabag's life didn't revolve around finding romance. She had fulfilling relationships with her best friend, her best friend's hamster, her sister, a practical stranger who saved her life and a priest who picked God.
She never made the priest feel bad for not picking her, never pressurised him to reciprocate her 'I love you', never slighted his relationship with God despite her being an atheist.
She was such a wholesome character and I fell in love with her in all the ways a person can fall in love with another person. I am so frigging heartbroken that I'll never get to experience the rest of her life, but I am also so frigging content with how the show ended. It was absolutely beautiful.

SPOILER ALERT FOR FLEABAG
I keep thinking about the scene where Fleabag tells Boo about the 11 year old boy who was put in juvie because he inserted the rubber part of the pencil up a hamster's rectum, and instead of making a joke about it or saying something on the lines of how he deserved it, Boo is surprised that they didn't provide him with proper mental health care. She tells Fleabag that he obviously wasn't happy, because "happy" people don't do things like that - he should've been given help instead of a punishment. She says the entire point of pencils having an eraser at the end is cause people make mistakes.
Now flash forward to the future where Fleabag tells people how Boo died - she wanted to make her boyfriend feel guilty for cheating on her by getting admitted to a hospital for light injuries, she did not want die by suicide, but unfortunately that wasn't how it went - and we realise that Boo made a mistake, and it wasn't one that could be corrected using an eraser. That is also when we realise that Boo wasn't a "happy" person either, because "happy" people don't do that.
Instead of demonizing her for emotional manipulation, or blaming her for dying, Fleabag is compassionate and that is one of the million reasons why I love this show.
He's sexy...and his kisses are sexier!!
You’re not wrong and I’m not sure how to feel about it. @the-thief-called-fox

watched Fleabag for the first time after being exposed to the "i love you"/"it'll pass" exchange like a million times on the internet and I expected it to wreck me but it was strangely so comforting

My messages are always open!!! Feel free to say hello, I'm always looking for new friends :-D
i hate going to bed cuz it reminds me of how lonely i am and how much i wish to have someone to talk to, not just someone to talk to
I consume american media or media in english pretty much all the time (tiktok has a lot more different content in english than in any other language)
And I kinda wish I had an american friend because I just know a lot about usa because of tiktok
It wasn't intentional, it's not like I think usa is that great and I wouldn't want to live there (especially now that trump won) but I just have too many jokes and themes that I can't discuss with people around me because they don't know english that well or aren't in the same media-bubble as me
So this is my official request for a friend
I love fantasy and tv shows, I love isekai, I am very left leaning although I wouldn't call myself an activist. I think I have adhd and asd. I like different teas and herbs
Edit: i am 24f, I forgot to mention that. And I want to discuss politics.
So if you maybe would like to have a friend from another country pls leave a comment
i think something people miss when watching fleabag is that we're not really supposed to like fleabag all that much and yeah sure shes relatable cause shes flawed and shes human and youre not obligated to defend her actions
she hurt people around her constantly and she realizes that
what if they filmed tbosas the way fleabag is filmed so that the audience got to see snow's inner monologue, so every so often tom blyth would turn to the camera and just talk.
