He Coulda Easily Made Him An Asshole But He Chose Not To - Tumblr Posts

the subtle emotional disconnect that birdie has with fearne is so nuanced and so delicious; in my mind, fearne is her child, this is her girl, birdie says “I’ll blow up both moons for her” so fervently and yet! there is a very nonchalant slippery way she actually regards fearne as she’s standing there, looking at her, mentioning choices birdie made that were shortcomings, and birdie almost lightly lightly shrugs it away and reasserts her mission, apologizes, lightly, but again.. her mind is on her mission.

and there’s so much finesse in depicting the mentality behind an absentee loved one; I love you, I love you, I have to do this, (and loving you isn’t going to make me stop); the level of goodhearted denial is incredible that birdie is too far gone in it that she can’t even see the impact of her choices, she can’t see how much it’s changed fearne, she can’t see how much it’s changed herself. she started with love and where has it made her go, but no no that’s too … unnecessary! it’s all right! i’m doing this for you!
