With the Holiday season approaching, and one year since the second season of the show aired, our idea was to do something nice for this fandom, no matter if you ship Bradley and Laura or Alex and Maggie or any other combo. The idea is to spread some positive vibes, keep the love train going, and hopefully to inspire people to create new content with this gift exchange.
All you need to know:
Here's the form to sign up.
If you need more infos or anything else you can find us @ TMS SECRET SANTA on twitter or @andromedusia
This discord got shut down by the owner a while back but you can join TMS Stellison for Cory x Stella and other ships or if you love Cory/Bradley be sure to ask about the other group!
finished tonight’s episode of the morning show (spoilers ahead!!) and I have so many thoughts
first off, because this was the centre of the episode, nicole beharie fucking CRUSHED IT and that whole interview chris conducted with sybil was wild from start to finish. never has dialogue been written as such a roller coaster damn! she kept it classy but totally fried cybil. I can’t say I feel all that bad.
I am DRIPPING in cory takes. as for cory, I do think putting sybil on alex unfiltered would have been a bad idea, but he could have handled it a lot better. he barely scraped by with that master plan. I think it’s just that he always seems to be doing either the right thing for the wrong reasons or the wrong thing for the right reasons. I don’t even think he’s able yet to do both at once lol, but alas that’s where his nuance lies. and that’s when you know what he’s doing which I’m not sure we do half of the time. mans is a MYSTERY. he has his disappointing moments and his legendary moments, and his chaos is in the battle between those two sides of him which I think we’re going to see more of this season. I hope so, because he’s such a hard character to get a beat on sometimes and is so well written that it really keeps you on your toes guessing as to his motivations. why is he so hell bent on selling to paul? I’m so curious about that, mainly because I get the feeling it isn’t solely for the money and glory. there has got to be something else there because I don’t know if cory’s ever been this desperate.
We’ve gotten somewhat of a confirmation that the history between stella and paul isn’t one of sexual misconduct or assault, but that makes me even more curious as to what her grievance with him is. did he steal her ideas? screw her over financially? idk, and I know stella is currently on her “fuck cory” shit rn as she should be because he’s not exactly in her corner lately, but I want to see her actually tell him what happened!!
mia continues to slay like honestly she’s one of my favs??? everything she did made sense this episode, a real queen if I ever saw one!!
also I missed bradley :( okay see you all next week!

Would Laura choose to stay with Bradley, if she knew that Bradley was an accomplice to a federal crime?
Bear in mind, I've had these thoughts for a while but never took the time to write them down. It's simply personal opinions, feel free to scroll.
Regardless of the answer, I believe Laura is being robbed of that choice. Bradley is controlling the narrative of their relationship by keeping it a secret. That's the opposite of transparency, or trust. I think an actual display of love and trust, would be Bradley revealing everything to Laura and giving her the opportunity to leave or stay. Right now, their relationship only works because it relies on Laura being kept in the dark. Is it true happiness, if Laura is being lied to for an entire year? Or would it be true happiness if Laura was given the free will to choose the future of her relationship?
Also, the argument that Bradley is staying quiet to not incriminate Laura in face of the FBI, it bugs me. Because it implies that the price to pay for Laura's protection is corrupting UBA News, corrupting their hundred of honest employees, Stella, Cory and everyone else that supported Bradley in her rise to evening news. All of these people (including Laura) are applauding Bradley, yet could potentially be blamed of enabling a system that rewards illegal behavior with career promotions. I fail to see the heroism or beauty in Bradley's actions towards Laura, and people need to be more honest about that instead of using this to justify why a romantic ship is 'healthy'.
Let's keep it a buck, none of the TMS ships are healthy. That also includes Cory and Bradley, who have been canonically dysfonctional for a while now. I'll share more of my perspective on them, in a seperate blog.
