Uploading all my Tomgreg art at once from the past few week before season 4 hits, who knows in what kind of mental state i'm gonna be once it does :')

#tomgreg #succession #dont even talk to me i started watching this show when i had nothing to do at work and now i watch it with averiel my good friend averiel #and we are going to watch s4 together and i feel physically ill from bein so excited #so ya thats what ive been up to... anyway. i love these idiots they desever nothing but the worst (affectionate) #im also a tomshiv lover btw. im the one who yells 'THIS IS HOW TOMSHIV CAN STILL WIN' while they are actively losing on screen #thats the kind of person i am #dont look at me (lying on the floor) #okay i was not going to say stuff in the tags and let the art speak for itself but i NEED to point out details in the wine Painting.. #i put a lot of work into that one. thinly veiled metaphors and symbolism yknow.. #greg is gripping the stem of the wine glass with his full fist. tom and greg are dressed in the same outfit (sock garters included) #greg look appalled but he is not doing anything about the spill. tom is fondly pouring greg more and more wine. he is doing him a favor #i colored the red wine the same way i would color blood :) oh and tom is not really touching greg #only holding the chair in place. greg is making himself look smaller than he is like usual #oh and @ the person who said that it's the inverse of the tom and nate scene i love the way you think. i did not think of that before #but god. yeah. i actually thought about the scene change from when roman uhh.. christens his office in s1. the one with the coffee machine #i always go insane at that cut. this is not exactly the same since it's more.. about emotions but yknow.. it can be.. the same...

i was thinking about how i wished leverage had a birthday episode for some of the characters cause that would be sweet, but then i realised something and basically…. okay here’s my thoughts in quotes form, just for fun

hardison: so when’s your birthday? i could plan something for us and the team to do and-

parker: i dont know

hardison: you don’t know… your own birthday?

parker: no, how would i know? pshh, cmon, you’re telling me you remember EXACTLY when you were born? watch this - hey, eliot, do you know your exact birth date?

eliot, innocently passing by, who was canonically anonymously dropped off at a hospital as an infant: no, how would i know?

parker: that’s what i said!

hardison: excuse me?? what is going on right now

sophie, walking into the apartment: whats wrong?

hardison: parker and eliot- well, okay, when’s your birthday? i just have to prove something.

sophie: …….july 12th

hardison: why did you pause? wait, is that your birthday or sophie devereaux’s birthday?

sophie: ………… (guilty silence)

parker: see, no one knows their real birthday! haha you’re so weird sometimes, hardison

hardison:

hardison: what the fuck guys

#leverageposting #wren speaks #leverage #parker leverage #alec hardison #nate knows his birthday i guess so i didn’t include him. if he was watching the whole time he would probably say ‘idk’ to mess w hardison #they’re having this convo in nate’s apartment but it’s like 3am & he’s asleep & they’ve all broken in to hang out #parker doesn’t know either bc of her ridiculously neglectful foster parents or bc she’s parker & her priorities are simply different to most #people. her birthday is irrelevant to thievery. and sadly probably not related to fun happy memories anyway. #sophie obviously is a good enough grifter to answer confidently but she feels a little bad abt lying to her family by now #meanwhile hardison had a normal foster nana who would have known his bday. most kids aren’t safe-surrendered like eliot so assumably #hardison would have a known bday. and he likes birthdays! #and he wants to throw parker a little party even if it’s a very unconventional parker bday that involves rappelling & jumping off buildings #but he is once again thwarted by the leverage team members having the strangest possible lives #he IS gonna give them each birthday parties tho. even if he has to make up some dates & stuff #sophie’s can be the fake date she gives if that’s what she rlly wants. nate’s real birthday is on file somewhere even if he’s being annoying #rn so hardison just has to do some basic hacking. eliot would have an approximate bday such as the day he was surrendered that his parents #would have celebrated throughout childhood. and parker’s would be april 1st bc that’s alice whites bday (and YOURE ALICE!!!) #as in it’s canonically in the online info abt alice white shown in the juror no.6 job & obvs that’s april fools so it’s funny :) #and hardison has a NORMAL bday unlike SOME ppl and yes he DOES expect presents you heathens!!

sci let's say you could right, like it had to happen, if you could date either Peter, Wade or Nate, but the other two get heartbroken and are miserable. Who would you chose? you get to date and marry one of them, but it means the other two have to live in misery.

i'd marry nate (wade and peter can live in misery together)

#sci speaks #sorry. i know wade and peter would make me miserable. i'd rather they be miserable together. #i know i always used to say i've got a crush on wade and i do. but i do not want to marry him. he'd be a nightmare. #and he'd probably get me killed somehow. #i think nate and i would be a good match. i'd just lounge about on his island and wait for him to come home. and spend all his money. yeah. #i'll listen to him talk about politics and stuff and just be like mhm. yeah. uh-huh. yep. in slutty slutty underwear. #yeah. yeah. #sorry to wade but i'm not as needy as him. i'm secure. #i can be left on my own without feeling murderous intent. #nate doesn't need to watch me. or keep me on a leash. i'm good he can keep me.

can we stop fucking whitewashing f, n, and m? how is the twc fandom getting worse when we’ve rehashed this a million times at this point

#brief intermission on the ask game to main tag this :) because i'm tired :) #do your research. use the skintone palette. stop giving them european features. #if you're an artist – do better. scroll through the tag. use the proper representation as a general reference for your own pieces #<- to clarify. when i say 'stop giving them european features' i mean stop giving f and n european features. clarifying bc of an anon. #if you're commissioning someone for fanart – DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK FOR SKINTONES TO BE DEEPENED. YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE SERVICE. #the wayhaven chronicles #twc #nate sewell #nat sewell #felix hauville #farah hauville #twc mason #twc morgan #specialist agent m #i rarely maintag stuff these days but im so fucking tired of checking the tag for new fanart and being so disappointed #unfollow and block me if you find an issue with this post. i won't miss you

[shibuiking]

I found you via tumblrs orbit system and you sounded kinda nervous about your ocs, so I’m gonna appear in your askbox and shout “yaaaay ocs!”

a idk if its nervousness per se and more just a combo of hope tht ppl will like+care abt them and me being awkward/not knowing what to say (but 40k ppl have been super nice ive never actually had ppl care abt my ocs before outside of my close friends ToT and they arent into 40k)

anyway. um yeah. ty tho 🥺 i rly appreciate it

#i also never make oc lore so this is a first for me so its also 'if i get any lore stuff wrong im killing myself' and thats wjhy i read #so many books beforehand lmfao #anyway. #admech is fun bt im a hardcore undead fan and my sona has been a zombie for like ~10yrs now and yea i guess im otherkin as well or whatever #so necrons jst have way more to chew on for me past just enjoying the aesthetics and broad philosophy #also mr nate crowley liked one of my tweets where i was gushing over tdk again and wht undeath means as a concept which was Insane Feeling #since i hadnt actually namedropped the book title or anything #comrade crowley understands the power of change and compassion in death #....................anyway #some of those tomb kings minis tempt me terribly #this is wildly offtopic #nedsha is my babyu its like showing baby photos ok if ppl dont like him ill blow the building up or whatever #i did make and convert one friend into 40k as well tho thats been fun #arv if ur reading this im talking abt u #sorry this is mad long i always think of a million things to say afterwards and i have an extension tht lets me add tags without- #editing the post

fuck people who point out your insecurities, like bitch I already know. Also fuck people who say they could do better at something you did well in.

Devastating. Song lyrics I was going to use for a fic title were actually misheard and the real ones don't fit as well.

#stuff sarah says #apparently its 'if youre OUT here why do i miss you so much?' not 'if youre RIGHT here why do i miss you so much?' #but right here makes more sense for the context of the story. idk what the hell nates talking abt ever in his songs but #but i want to do a like youre a stranger to me now and youre sitting across from me and i dont know who you are #i want to i miss you please just talk to me look at me give me something some indication that we can be close #but its hard bc the other character hardly recognizes themselves anymore and is basically like if i fail again im going to fucking end it #but instead of saying any of those words theyre both just like smoothies??? smoothies!!! #i really went from 'these two deserve a chill date :)' to 'if people dont fucking cry while reading this then i have failed as an author' #so you know 😗✌️

Here are some thoughts I had while bored at work today:

Has thought about sex with Ted: Sassy (bonus for actually having sex with Ted)

Has deliberately NOT thought about sex with Ted because they don't want to deal with thinking about it: Rebecca, Trent, Roy

Has probably thought about sex with Ted at least once and couldn't decide if it was too weird to think about or if it would be a good time: Keeley, Nate

Has played FMK with Ted as one of the options (has occurred both drunk and sober): the entire Richmond team, the pub trio

Has not thought about sex with Ted: Higgins, Mae

Could fall anywhere on the spectrum and even outside of it for all I know: Beard

#ted is like jeff winger in the sense that he has chemistry with pretty much everyone #ted lasso #i'm saying stuff #i'm making stuff #rebecca welton #trent crimm #roy kent #keeley jones #coach beard #sassy collins #nate shelley #edited bc i forgot nate!! i'm sorry nate!!!

Nate’s bad actions are taken so much more seriously by the narrative itself than everyone else’s that fandom starts to think they’re just being principled by pretending he’s evil and wasn’t just in need of some cathartic yelling.

No, I agree, I think in some cases, the fandom's hatred for a character of color is mostly based on just them being racist but I think in this case, it's actively both the show and the fandom. Like, the show itself frames Nate in a certain light that it just doesn't for white characters. He's always been framed as a "loser" or "vicious" even if he's valid in the way he's feeling. In one episode, Ted worries about something crushing Jamie's soul and Nate laughs a little but when Ted looks at him, Nate apologizes and we move on. It's small moments like this that I feel lack nuance. Yes, Nate wanting to hurt Jamie is not a progressive or healthy way of dealing with his anger towards him HOWEVER Jamie did belittle, bully, and harass him in his place of work. That is WORK PLACE HARASSMENT that Nate had to deal with every time he clocked in. Both things can be true at once. Nate is dealing with his anger in an unhealthy way AND Nate has a right to that anger. (Funny how everyone was so concerned with Keeley and Jack having a work place affair and Trent being yelled at in the locker room but no one wanted to acknowledge the severity of what Nate was going through for years). This is never acknowledged, not by the show or the fandom. The fandom doesn't want to sympathize with him, they don't want nuance. They want to hate him. They don't just want to see him as a bad person, they don't want to see him as a person at all. They wanted Nate to just forgive and forget, they wanted him to be quiet about how he was feeling. They liked him better when he was small and "meager" so that they could infantilize or ignore him. They never had to come to terms with the fact that Nate is a full person, with anger and kindness and pain and sadness. It reminds me a lot of when Sam was angry with Ted for bringing Jamie back on the team, that anger lasting for one episode when Led Tasso was brought in to bully everyone, forcing Jamie to step up and defend them. Then, after that, Sam had apparently forgiven him? They're friends now, I guess, without Jamie ever having to directly apologize to Sam specifically, without ever having that conversation one on one. Sam just moves on. That's what the fandom wants Nate to do. They don't want him to step outside that box and get angry at all their "beloved, defenseless white characters." Sam is written without flaws, he's only ever briefly angry but for the most part, he's just happy Sam so the fandom loves him. Unlike Nate, who has taken out his insecurities on other characters. Nate, who can be mean or sad or flawed in a way that the fans don't like because it's the wrong kind of flawed. They want an excuse to hate him, they always have, they've always had an unexplainable anger towards him and the show gives them a lot of excuses because he's never framed with too much nuance, his actions are always treated with severity while other characters (primarily white ones) are treated with leniency. When Rebecca has this same kind of arc, she's forgiven and sympathized with. When Jamie has this kind of arc, he's forgiven and sympathized with. I've seen videos on youtube called "10 minutes of Jamie Tartt being iconic" and most of it is just him bullying people (guess what, it's mostly Nate). I'm not hating on that video or the person who made it, but I haven't seen the same kind of attitude towards Nate. People don't see his confidence as iconic, or his awkwardness as relatable, or his anger as real, or his sadness as vulnerable, or his frustration with the team and Ted as understandable. They don't want to, the show doesn't force them to. Anyone who says they don't understand Nate's anger is choosing not to understand. It's easier for them to not acknowledge the failings of their favorite white characters or their own biased feelings towards complex characters of color.

#you guys gotta stop asking me about nate i get way to into it i have a sociology project guys #im kidding please keep sending me stuff like this i love talking about nate i could do it until i die #ive seen people saying “well until he gets a redemption arc i hate him!” girlypop what do you think is happening?? #“nate's evil!1!1!” And is Evil Nate in the room with us right now? #does any of this make sense or is it just me babbling for like ten hours #nate is amazing and complicated and beautiful and i want him carnally <3 #thats another thing > people don't view nate as conventionally attractive and beautiful #which makes them hate him even more #SUCKS FOR YOU I WANT HIM SO BADLY #this got long im sorry as always #nate shelley #ted lasso #nate tag
