#i literally cannot wait to read this

[homielander]

shiv's motivations for voting to pass the gojo deal are so layered and i don't think they should be dismissed in favour of any one interpretation. shiv desperately grabbed on to a lifeline for her relationship with tom. shiv was the deciding vote and she couldn't bear to hold the crown only for a moment just to place it atop her brother's head. shiv knew she would have more influence as wife of CEO rather than sister of CEO. shiv absolutely hated seeing kendall crystallize into logan before her eyes, especially when he made roman bleed ("and if we did kill him we get to go to bed") -- succession has always been about siblings so of course she tried to free her brothers before her child. shiv still thinks she can raise her child with all the material benefits of being the daughter of waystar CEO while doing better by her, whatever that means. and all of those things are true

#shiv roy #succession #succession spoilers #ok i'm sleeping #wait i know i just assumed tomshiv baby is a girl but like. i'm right #also i have seen many people say shiv did it purely out of spite and i will say #i don't think they would have had dialogue about shiv saying she's tired and they should all rest #or panned to shiv looking at roman's face fresh with blood #or shown shiv tearing up over her conversation with tom at the beginning of the episode #or had her say 'i cannot stomach you' which has pretty obvious connotations even in the context of succ #or had shiv make up her mind precisely when kendall said the andrew dodds confession was a lie #if her motives weren't meant to be read as ambiguous. they would not have put those things in there without reason #shiv leaving the room may have been impulsive spite but what came after was more complicated #it's also not even wholly altruistic it's just cold admittance that they don't have It. she thinks she does #and i'm not sure why the sentiment that they can't take it but she can surprises anyone #she's literally always seen herself as the exception

you know stede would play along with ed's innkeeper roleplay

OH MY GOD HE WOULD!!!!!! YOU JUST KNOW HE WOULD

he'd ding the bell without being asked to. he'd announce that he's got a reservation under some fake name, and then he'd ask ed to walk him to his room for him. i guarantee that fruitcake would even ask to see the ring of keys.

all ed wants in this stupid life is for someone to match his energy and be silly with. and then here comes drama-club-kid stede bonnet and blows it out of the fucking water. i hate them (lying)

#they're literally the most perfect match in the whole world #i cannot wait to read soooo many inn fics #in fact. perhaps i will write one myself #there's already the one bed trope waiting right there before the fic is even written #the potential!!!!! #also i'm so sorry i missed this in my inbox my notifs have been absolutely obliterated the last couple days #but now im here >:) #ofmd #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ask

he has all these feelings and he can't find a way to express them in a way that mike can understand..... will just wanting to be understood by one of the people he loves most in this world.... the king of his heart, his very first and best friend, and his first love.... he wants to be known and loved for exactly who he is the very same way that he knows and loves mike for all that he is, but he doesn't know how to say the unspeakable.... i can't see through ym tears right now

#reading this again just to feel something (agony misery pain anguish and world-shattering heartbreak) #will byers #byler #mine #the way that will loves mike so much he's quite literally actually and canonically bursting with it and desperate to have it be understood #but he just. he cannot express it in a way tht mike understands. he paints and he veils his confession and he waits for mike even though #he receives nothing in return and he supports him through everything even at the cost of himself and his own desires and it just. #is not enough! his call doesn't get through! the same way that mike's literal calls never got through! i just. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't it just be delicious if in season 2 the show went out of its way to confirm Ed's literacy, like showing him casually doing captain things like looking at ship manifests or checking ledgers or whatever? I think that could be hilarious.

I'm already an Ed Can Read truther because beyond the likelihood that a captain would need to be able to read maps and charts and the like, the set for his cabin on his original ship included scrolls, and at the party we see him look at the dinner place card while sitting in the right place.

Also historically, it really wasn't that uncommon to be able to read but not write! So him signing with an X doesn't disprove that to me. It would be even funnier if later on we learned that he knew how to write properly too, or even had a lovely running hand that rivaled Lucius? I would just eat that up with a spoon.

#i cannot stress this enough #I mostly want this because it would be funny #like 99% of my desire for this is because it would be funny #anyway #literacy is a spectrum #something modern people forget because so many of us learn to read and write not that far apart #and do so fairly early in our lives #to say nothing of protestant attitudes towards literacy and how aggressively protestant England was #iirc the literacy rate in the colonies could be much higher at times because Puritans #which of course means more north america than anything #but idk #I'm willing to wait for the show to prove me wrong #edward teach is literate #only David Jenkins can judge me #I know people think it would be cute if we got a whole #stede teaches ed to read thing #but idk those plots in fics kinds gross me out #plus I think a show as obsessed with the stuff this one is wouldn't do that #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd meta #edward teach

Officially an iPad kid now

#sophie speaks #my phone is actually dead now #things are about to get quite complicated for me I think #just wanted to read and had to use my fucking iPad #7 hours of screen time on this thing because I cannot consume literature normally #literally no idea how the next weeks gonna go while I wait for my new one to arrive #all of my banking was done through my phone and I didn’t have enough time to cancel it before it died so I’m. kind of screwed #and all the local banks are at least an hour and a half away #hnnnghhhhh

The ADHD waiting room is hell

#not doing great at all! #not feeling good in any way shape or form! #very scared actually! #terrified of my life falling to pieces! #which means that ofc i am just sitting here waiting for confirmation that either the day is gonna get worse or be redeemed #instead of writing or talking to people or watching things that make me feel good or reading books or tidying my space #or literally anything that might possibly make me feel better in any possible form or fashion #but i Cannot because i Don't Know Yet whether things will be Okay or Not and so i have to Wait #and logically knowing that that is just a facet of my various mental illnesses is not helping me actually unclench my muscles and go do shi #love that i have a lifetime of therapists going 'wow you're so self-aware' but not giving me any mechanisms #to assist me with the things that i am very aware of #my ramblings

Seven(ish) Sentence Sunday

thank you to @chaotictarlos, @theghostofashton, @alrightbuckaroo, and @taralaurel for the tags

you get two snippets today - one from checkmate, i never lose and another from agent reyes <3

checkmate, i never lose

Mr. Strand…”

“I’m sorry, were you under the impression that it was a request? No, I’m telling you. I’ll come to find you guys if I plan on leaving.” TK knows he sounds like a dick, but there’s really only so much he can handle today.

The residence door closes behind the agents whose names TK never even bothered to learn, and TK slumps into the nearest couch he sees. He shrugs out of his hoodie, leaving him in a t-shirt and sweats that he definitely shouldn’t have worn into the Oval Office. TK’s eyes automatically land on the grey words written on his forearm, in a distinctly flowy cursive.

It’s a pleasure to be of service to you, Mr. Strand.

TK pities whoever has his chicken scratch scribbled onto his arm. (It had to be a man, right? The universe wasn’t going to fuck him over that thoroughly, right?)

Of course, TK’s soulmate was going to end up working for him. TK’s entire life was set up to throw curveballs at him, and he’d managed to muscle through and survive most of them. Was this the curveball that cut him off at the knees, and crippled him for good? Was this the hurdle that he couldn’t jump over, the hurdle that buries him in a thousand feet of snow, freezing and suffocating him until he couldn’t see the light?

agent reyes

He forces himself to slow down and appease anyone that might be worried about his reaction. He flashes a fake smile to everyone watching, and he turns around and walks out. He walks and walks, and he finds himself back at the pier he first found when he left.

As he sits in silence, the dull ache in his chest roars into screaming pain as memories rush over him.

He thinks about the first cousin he came out to at fourteen, who never quite spoke to him the same afterward. Carlos didn’t say the words “I’m gay” out loud again until three years later, two days before he moved out of his parents’ house.

He thinks about the quiet silence that met him when he whispers the words across the dining table to his parents, and the way the kiss his mother pressed to his forehead and the squeeze his father gave his shoulder felt perfunctory — like they thought it was something they had to do.

He thinks about the time he brings up maybe signing up for the Austin Police Academy, and his father told him it was a bad idea, and that he thought Carlos was too soft.

The “because you’re gay” hung in the silence between them.

They never brought Carlos being gay, or his dreams of the academy, up again, and Carlos moved to DC, where he ended up in the CIA.

He talks to his mother twice a week and flies down for Sunday lunch at Tía Lucy’s and yet he’s never felt farther from his family.

He’s never felt lonelier.

i'm going to tag @bonheur-cafe, @detective-giggles, @decafdino and @catanisspicy

My Marvel comic book list it's so much more simple than DC, because it really resumes in "Is Deadpool there? No? So I don't give a shit."

That whole marvel event where people where being tested if they're good or not, it took me a quick search to realize he wasn't involved and I just took it out from my reading list.

#literally read that whole Marvel post apocalyptic thing because I saw Deadpool in one panel but sadly he didn't appeared that much #he looked great in every single one tho #and peter was so hot in that run what the fuck #Peter Parker being a dilf is my demise #q rambles #except I've been side eyeing daredevel for a while but I cannot afford having one more babygirl he will have to wait until I have more time #or sanity #which is really unlikely
