#hopefully I’m successful

Also the fucking irony. Of Kendall getting mad at Tom for that unhinged line but then calling shiv a piece of dirt like 20 minutes later is not lost on me but also that really is the quintessential sibling experience, it has to be said

#have to think of ‘whose being nasty to Frank only I’m allowed to be nasty to frank’ #also maybe that’s just me but for some reason when Roman and shiv fight awfully ppl are just like oh sibling fights LOL but whenever shiv #and Ken do people act like it’s wayyyy more serious. like guys they’ve done the worst things imaginable to each other and still forgave the #other person like #idk. that maybe hopefully is not the quintessential sibling experience but it is the quintessential Ken and shiv experience #succession #Kendall Roy #shiv Roy #they just do this. they’ll forget about it in 2 days (I say hoping and looking at Jesse Armstrong like you better not switch shit up this #time around ….)

Fun facts about Maya’s new book!!

She doesn’t have a publishing deal (yet?)

However do you know this Sada? You might ask. Well it is quite simple dears. First: she didn’t list any publisher, which is a difference from how -say - Lottie announced her new book.

There is also nothing that comes up when you search for Maya or the book, and there’s nothing in any trade magazines about her book being picked up.

On top of that, her illustrator? He only made his IG account 6 hours ago. He is in fact a real artist but the account she tagged is brand new.

Just some fun facts 🤗

#listen I’m not saying that she - herself - intentionally dropped this today #but there is no publisher #and she’s got no release date #so #draw your own conclusions #that said self-publishing on Amazon is 100% valid #I in fact just got my first royalty payment from an ebook I put up back in 2019 #a whole FIVE CENTS #hopefully Maya will be just as successful 🤗

tell me your failed/embarrassing flirting stories to make me feel better, i’ll go first: today i said “get out of my way” forgot to say “i’m kidding” then immediately said “bye”

#it is awful having feelings for someone you know and have an established friendship with #but crushing on someone i barely know is knew to me and i legit feel like an idiot every time i do something stupid like this #i can’t just. talk to the guy #if i say hey and he says sup i say ‘sup indeed’ like what the fuck is that #i can barely even say hello to him #don’t get me wrong i’ve DONE it but most days i’m like #ah fuck there he is #okay you can do it just say hi #just say what’s up #and then he’s already gone #also. like. the setting we’re in is soooo not good for talking or flirting realt because um. it’s work he’s my coworker.. so um. do i fuckin #ask him for his number?? or to hang out??? but like. he’s kind of a stranger to me what do i want to hang out for 🧍 #but like. ​i dont want to do that until i have at least one successful interaction #or like. an actual conversation. #which is gonna be really hard to manage because he doesn’t talk much at all to anyone and i really only talk if someone talks to me first or #i’ll say something absolutely idiotic and ridiculous (and honestly i do that no matter what) #anyway so um. i guess i’m just gonna keep making a fool of myself until i get it right and hopefully i don’t screw it up 🥴 #i lost all my confidence in the last year and i cant do anything chill or smooth anymore (i was never that good in the first place but at #least i could PRETEND i knew what i was doing. like i could sell it. the whole weird and lost bit.) #anyway. i felt better for like 5 minutes when some guy at the gas station flirt failed with me on the way home. but that’s partly my fault #too oops. in his defense he probably could not see that i had headphones on bc upon mirror inspection they were well blended with my hair #but i was waiting to cross the street and this guy tried to like nod and smile and i did not know it was to me until i got to the other side #where the gas station was and and like. tried again and i awkward half smiled and saw his face get all mushy and confused like mine FELT 20 #mins before when i’d flopped so hard trying to flirt and by the time i’d processed WAIT i think he was FLIRTING WITH ME i was already gone 🤡 #but at least it ended better than the poor 14yo who very confidently asked for my number #who. i shit you not. SCREECHED for a solid 44.5 seconds and bolted the other direction when i said sorry im 21 #his friends were standing there like wtf too and one was like i am so sorry about him 🤦 #cheers to being fools universe

sending a box filled with a singular plush in it, what phighting char do u want (This is a joke, But if you did ever have the choice to get one, what would you take?)

OHHHHHHH this is a difficult question,,,, if there was a phighting plushie that I wanted then i think it would be tied between Biograft, icedagger, and broker since I love all of them equally

#Cro chatter #Please PHIGHTING devs #Give me a teal trio plush set I beg of you all #Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if phighting partnered with makeship someday to make a plush #I’m sure the campaign would be a huge success since how cult of a fandom this is /silly #(I know for a fact I would 100% buy it on the first day that it came out HEHEHEHE) #Plus with phightings rising popularity and Regretevator getting a bive plush with make ship it’s defintely plausible #I don’t know! Hopefully we will get one one day :3 #phighting

now listen this might be wrong to say as a fan but i need taylor swift to get less popular before the next era. we need to find a way to weed out these trend followers

#to clarify i’ve NEVER been a hater of ‘new swifties’ the way some people are #like as a fan i WANT to see her getting more support and from the fan perspective i love the feeling of finding a new obsession #so in theory it should be a win win for everybody #but these people are all FAKE. like i’m not even really worried about them sticking around because i KNOW they won’t #which is sad on a different note because we know how much taylor cares about numbers measuring her success #and when these people leave her in the dust as they surely will there’s just no way the demand for her is going to stay this high #it’s like how she thought lover was her last chance to remain successful in beating her previous numbers #but like that actually might be true this time #please don’t send me hate. i hope this isn’t true and in the same breath i wish taylor didn’t put so much pressure on herself in this regard #but i do think the majority of this new fans are fair whether friends that are just piggy backing off the hype #so i cant imagine these numbers staying consistent for years and years #but then again she’ll be gaining new fans that are TRUE along the way so hopefully i’m not right #but still hopefully i’m a little right so getting tickets to next tour is nothing and i mean NOTHING like this

also i got lots and lots of compliments on my outfit today and they were able to fix my necklace! i only wanted the big knot out but they fixed the other ones for me too and even cleaned it and for some reason they didn’t even charge me !! and i got my book ! yayyy

#successful day 😎👍🏻 #also the part for my car arrived..now i just have 2 wait on my f*ther to replace it for me.. #anyways #i didn’t even wanna get up out of bed today but i had to cause i had therapy and u know what #i ended up having a pretty good day -w- #i didn’t get to talk 2 the cute barista at starbucks but..whatever #but! i did end up dressing up a little and i felt so cute today and got lots of compliments which was nice #and i got all my shopping done and had fun.. #im still surprised they fixed and cleaned my necklace and didn’t charge me.. #i asked abt it and the guy said not to worry abt it and to just come back again sometime *wink* #and i said okay :D and left and then tripped on the curb outside when i was leaving #i’m not exactly in the market for fine jewelry and hopefully my necklace won’t implode on itself again at least for a while so..i probably #will not be going back anytime soon #i did kinda wanna ask if i could have like my ring size measured but i was too shy to ask #the guy behind the counter was kinda cute and very nice and i didn’t wanna bug him so i just sat and waited for my necklace ;-; #i don’t even wear rings im just curious #uhmm. what else. i got some ingredients to make cookies tonight :3 #it was nice to have a good day for once -w- i just hope this isn’t a bad omen that things are about to get super fucked #im not trying to be negative!! but it is a genuine pattern in my life that whenever i have a good day or things go well for a bit #that means something disastrous is looming around the corner #i guess we’ll see :’) #snow.txt

Gonna eat then draw 🤠

#the painting is looming over me #but really it’s like riiiight behind me haha…. taunting me …. but i know i need to take a break from it #So i’m gonna draw my blorbos and maybe write! #also is it autistic of me to hate family obligation time this much like holidays continue happening and now you’re entitled to my time.. ok #I don’t mind spending time with them generally but i hate being told I can’t do my Favorite Things no matter the reason adlkfalkhas #I want to share my successes with them but then it always becomes a question of why I’m not doing more #or ‘how can you monetize that’ likeeee can’t i just make something bc i love it #my sister just got her masters degree tho so hopefully they’ll be distracted with bothering her lol #is the fact that my creativity seemingly cannot be broken not enough is getting up everyday simply to make something beautiful not enough #anyway!

LRB ok but I have never been as happy in my 20s as I am now. Like, cannot say I’m happy-happy, but I’m definitely not FUCKING miserable as I was in my 20s. If you’re in your 20s I can say your 20s are not the great time they’re hyped up to be most of the time

#as a matter of fact my happiest times in my life were primary school #and then high school #and now my 30s #middle school was the fucking worst #and my 20s were a hell of my own design because I kept trying to figure shit out without really knowing what I was looking for #and oh yeah I still don’t have plans and still don’f know what the fuck I want #but I’m a lot more chill than I used to be #it’s gonna be fine guys #remember to make friends and have fun eventually #and don’t listen to what other people expect from you #fuck all that shit they’ll have to deal with it #now... am I successful? hell no but I’m doing better #hopefully I keep being this hype about life

hiii i have a q about the nick and matthew interview still you posted yesterday - i've never seen that particular interview with just the two of them, and i can't find it ANYWHERE. did it have a link on pinterest? sorry i'm a succession press junket completionist

i’m so sorry bestie but what was found in the recess of pinterest stays in the recess of pinterest :\

#i’m not saying that in a mean way btw it’s just that i have no idea how to find that image again #like. once the page refreshes that’s it it’s lost forever #i didn’t notice any links but like. was i even looking? #anyway im gonna put this in the main tag so hopefully someone can help ya out #succession #pinkscare #answered

Wouldn't it be fucking WILD if the Season finished and Shiv has just never told a single person that she's pregnant? I do think she's gonna tell Tom during their fight next episode, her big flourish revenge moment, but I was just thinking that they could absolutely make it work just having it be a secret.

my ideal finale involves absolutely no mention of shiv pregnancy. like it never comes up again. not because i actually want this (i do not) but because it would just be so fucking funny considering the mass onset aneurysms people were having after the pregnancy reveal for it to quite literally never come up again. the other characters never hear about it and neither do we. pregnancy plotline falls into the void

#again not that i want this i actually am very curious to see where they go with it #but it would be unimaginably hilarious for it to be a straight up non issue #after everyone was like This Will Ruin Succession Shiv Will Revolve Aroukd Pregnsncy etc #which i mean by now hopefully everyone who thought that is eating their words bc she has not become the Pregnancy Trope (and thank god #altho gotta say i never actually expected succ to do smth so cliche and fucked up w her so i’m just glad i was right dr) #*fr) #but i just think it would be very funny considering the state of this website after ep4 #succession #shiv roy #asks #thebaconsandwichofregret

now why is there someone on twitter saying matthew macfadyen had no material this season….

#talking #succession #did we watch the same succession????? #I’m so baffled by this I know some people don’t care for Tom but like #the tomshiv stuff is as a major arc the whole season #anyways matthew macfadyen is pretty easily grabbing that second emmy #alan ruck is probably getting a nomination finally #nb is gonna get hit by a bus hopefully but that aside I don’t think he even had a significant enough role this season to get nominated #sorry for treating awards shows so seriously it’s like my little deranged interest #EDIT forgot about skarsgard. sure toss him one he was great
