Conversations with Friends (2022)

deleting my dating apps because I want to meet someone the old fashioned way (he touches his cold beer bottle to my collarbone and I kiss him at his wife's birthday party)

I’m still not over the fact that in Conversations with friends Nick feels pathetic and worthless and a waste of everyone’s time, and that is reflected in the fact that he never writes a capital “I” when referring to himself, but he always uses the lowercase letter. Because every love, or even acceptance, he has for himself, is gone. He doesn’t even feel like a human being anymore.

Sally Rooney, you’re a genius.

(And my campaign to show everyone that CWF is better than Normal people continues).

if you don’t like conversations with friends, i get that

people who don’t like conversations with friends always have the same criticism: they don’t relate to frances. they can’t fathom how anyone could possibly sympathize with such a wholly unlikeable main character. that’s lucky. frances is the kind of character for people who can’t drink coffee without their fingers going tingly. frances is for mirrorball listeners. she’s for people whose best quality is their intellect, and who’ve put themselves back together when it failed them anyway. people who are only attracted to much older minds who talk like they wrote the encyclopedia from memory. people who overthink their email signature. hypochondriacs. shitty drivers. sweater wearers. people who hate bright light, but can’t articulate why. people who can’t say no to anything. history students. people who use vague euphemisms to avoid talking about their mental illness. hand writers. people who lose their car in the parking lot. the only way to like frances is to get her, and if you do, i’m sorry. 

it’s always “i love you.” and never “i have this impulse to be available to you. all the time.”

How are we all feeling about Aziraphale’s last “I forgive you”? Does it mean I forgive you for kissing me to try to get me to stay, I forgive you for choosing this moment to reveal your feelings, I forgive you for not coming with me, I forgive you for kissing me period??? What?

I keep going back and forth on it and I NEED to hear what everyone else is thinking. Lay it on me, I’m open to new interpretations because everything hurts and I’m dying.

It's his default dance step in the same old game.  Crowley challenges him: i forgive you.    Note this isn't the same as a 'no'' - more and more across the years  it becomes coded speech.  Crowley says something or does something Aziraphale secretly agrees with or Aziraphale wants, but doesn't think he can have, and so he responds with the same words.

Fuck the plan! / i forgive you

Run away with me / i forgive you

Be mine / i forgive you.

And this last one, oh this last one HURTS because they both know the code.  They both know the dance.  And Crowley's response to that last overture?

"Don't bother."

It's not "don't bother forgiving me', Crowley is stepping out of the dance.  He's giving up.  They're done.  He threw everything in and lost.
