THE WITCHER NETFLIX (2019– )

You know, it’s weird and interesting to see a fight between male and female characters where gender doesn’t play a roll in the staging. It might play a role in the story, I haven’t seen the show, but like…look at them. It’s not just that she’s not being sexualized, it’s that neither of them are holding back. While it’s true that her fighting style seems to relying more using speed and dexterity than his, it’s nowhere near the “Waif Fu” style we see with some female fighters like River Tam. I feel like you could sub in a smaller man to fight Henry Cavill and the staging would be exactly the same, and that’s pretty neat. From the point of view of the choreographer, it’s not about the fact that one of them’s a man and the other a woman, it’s about the fact that these are two characters doing their unholy best to murder and/or beat the hell out of each other. And that’s what fight scenes SHOULD be about, in my opinion. XD

One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.

Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?

Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?

Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?

***

Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.

Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?

***

Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?

Customer: …I’m pretty good.

Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee* 

***

Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?

Customer: ….they’re okay.

Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.

***

Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.

***

Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.

***

Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!

***

Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.

***

Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!

Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.

Everyone saying “i love her” in the notes, do NOT worry she loves you too.

Every time a customer says “I love your energy,” or “I love your enthusiasm,” she says “I love YOUR energy! You have a fantabulous rest of your day, don’t forget to be awesome! I’ll see you later, alligator!”

By the time you get this, if you get this, I’ll probably be an old lady or… dead. I want you to know that I was happy. I have Hope. Diyoza’s pain in the ass, but I love her. Like I love you. Please don’t worry about me. You deserve to be happy, big brother. 
Always yours, Octavia.
