Don Draper is Rhett Butler

Last night’s episode of Mad Men was an emotional triumph. The scene where Don weakly wanders to his chair, his face registering all his regrets & worries, all the self-conscious thoughts that he never let reach his surface broke my heart. suicideblonde instantly recognized Rhett Butler after Scarlett’s miscarriage in that moment. I made these caps so we could do a comparison. If only Don had a sweet Melly to comfort him. I guess that would be Peggy.

Strong alpha males broken when faced with loosing their families, their facades crumbled.  Clark Gable fought doing this scene in tears, he feared it would make him appear weak, but in the end it is the most emotional honest scene he ever put to film.

The Real Princess (The Princess and the Pea)
by Hans Christian Andersen 
Illustrated by Edmund Dulac

There was once a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess. He travelled right around the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had come home again, and he was very sad because he wanted a real princess so badly.

One evening there was a terrible storm; it thundered and lightninged and the rain poured down in torrents; indeed it was a fearful night.

In the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King himself sent to open it.

It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the storm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real princess.

‘Well we shall soon see if that is true,’ thought the old Queen, but she said nothing. She went into the bedroom, took all the bed clothes off and laid a pea on the bedstead: then she took twenty mattresses and piled them on top of the pea, and then twenty feather beds on top of the mattresses. This was where the princess was to sleep that night. In the morning they asked her how she slept.

‘Oh terribly bad!’ said the princess. ‘I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!’

They saw at once that she must be a real princess when she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real princess could have such a delicate skin.

So the prince took her to be his wife, for now he was sure that he had found a real princess, and the pea was put into the Museum, where it may still be seen if no one has stolen it.

Now this is a true story.

(one of my very favorite fairy tales.)

Morticia Addams

I feel like my housewifing is pretty similar to Morticia’s. I only domesticate at night and I prefer living near spooky places. I’d love to have a big creaky old gothic house filled with heavy furniture and ghosts. The biggest difference between me and a gothic housewife is that I enjoy removing dust and cobwebs.

“This is outrageous! Where are the armed men who come in to take the protesters away? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Boraqua. You shout like that, they put in jail. Right away. No trial no nothing. Journalists, we have a special jail for journalists. If you are stealing.Right to jail. If your playing music to loud. Right to jail, right away. You driving to fast. Jail. Slow. Jail. You charging high prices to sweaters, glasses. Right to jail. You undercook fish believe it or not. Jail. You overcook chicken. Also jail. Undercook, overcook… You make an appointment with the dentist then you don’t show up, believe it or not, jail. Right away. We have the best patients in the world. Because of jail.” Parks and Recreation S02 E05

why is that it takes forever for this movies to get here? so frustrating.
