Fallen down a YT rabbit hole (full disclosure, I do actually have a job but I hate it and am beyond distracted today)
Sorry for the potential baby face ick, but the tone of his voice here is just making me want to weep. So soft and gentle. I'm going to listen to this to help me sleep at night.

Stan letters I think I'm mainly trying to remind myself that I do actually have a job tbh, as my motivation is through the floor for various reasons.(lol re pointing out you have a job, I always worry people on here think I just sit in my non-existent basement all day writing Stan-esque letters to bae )
He is adorable in that video you’ve posted. The colour of his eyes
His voice is lovely and soft in this one too, I love it for various reasons (including ‘my shocks shrunk’)
duck. This is perfect.Get ready for one of my trademark rambles...
Unless you find a nice clever man first, there comes a time in the life of every even slightly intelligent woman who likes men, where you're on a date - or, God forbid, in a relationship - with a man who you were initially attracted to because of his intelligence. And he's articulate and knowledgeable and talks about the stuff that interests you, but the more he talks the more annoyed you get, and then you realise...
It's not a conversation. You're his audience. He says you're intelligent too, but what he means by that is he thinks only intelligent people have the capacity to understand his brilliant and nuanced points. If you question his thinking or express an opinion different to his, he sees it as a disappointing moment of stupidity from you, although he will of course enjoy telling you how and why he thinks you're wrong. He doesn't entertain the idea that you might be right, or that you might have an interesting and well-reasoned opinion that differs from his.
And you think, this is exhausting. It turns out it doesn't matter that he's interested in or has similar views to you on literature or politics or science or philosophy or whatever. Because he only knows how to communicate about that stuff, and you have nothing else - i.e. nothing that actually matters - in common.
Then the next time, you pick a nice, sweet bloke who hasn't read any of the books you like (or whatever form your intelligence takes). And he's probably not the love of your life because this isn't a film, but he's kind and funny and when you talk about what you like, he asks questions about what you mean and why it's important to you. And yeah, you have to do the same when he talks about the finer points of whatever it is that he's into, and it's like you're educating each other, it's an actual exchange of ideas and opinions. And when he says "you're clever" he means "you know about stuff I don't, and I find it interesting when you talk about it, and I want to know what you think about things", not "please stroke my ego by nodding and smiling at everything I say".
And then you realise that the foundations of a relationship are mutual liking and respect and making each other laugh and having a cuddle and having interesting conversations and enjoying the time you spend together. And none of that needs him to have read Dickens or know what a quark is or have a preferred solution for peace in the Middle East.
The man who makes you happy might be clever. But it's not a requirement.

Sooo many good camera angles too, whoever was on camera duty did a good jobThis here is peak Grealish bulge material!! Seriously, even with his forearm over it, it was still visible!

The little bit from 4:47 onwards just makes me laugh. "I was loike, I don't feel right, and JT was just, loike, Jack, me and Lampard always sez it takes loike six games to feel 100%" He sounds like a very, very deep voiced Valley girl.This here is peak Grealish bulge material!! Seriously, even with his forearm over it, it was still visible!
Now imagine it if his hair didn’t look like he was auditioning to be the nextworzel gummidge and instead he had his brunette locks from Championship VillaHe is so bloody fit in that video. The mad hair that would suit literally no-one else, the top-level bulge content, his little smile... Lovely.
