WE ARE BACK BESTIESSSSS

new chapter live on AO3 👀

[sp1cewr1tes]

“Of course though, that was all alleged. Regardless of this fact, Kendall had some ammo in the chamber, and for the first time in his life, he wasn’t going to shoot any blanks.”

Y’all I be so savage I forgot I wrote this MASSACRE of a sentence for my Kendall Roy Fanfic 😂

[sp1cewr1tes]

Yall my personal life has been SO crazy I’ve had zero time to write 😭😭😭 but things are calming down again so ILL BE BACK ASAP BABESSSS missing all my Kendall girlies right now

[sp1cewr1tes]

remember when jeremy strong was asked what succession was all about after the show ended and he quoted “where love is absent, power fills the vacuum”

Art 💕👀🔥

Was it peaceful when she asked somebody else for his number after he intentionally gave her the wrong one? Was it peaceful when she interrupted his day of work to ask him to help her move some furniture? Was it peaceful the way she tried to joke about his brother’s suicide when he clearly hasn’t grieved properly? Was it peaceful when she brought him to a party full of people from high school when they are grown ass adults and she knows he didn’t have friends like that in high school? Was it peaceful when she left her best friend grieving a break up for a man? Was it peaceful when she begged the chef to cook for her? Was it peaceful when he kicked everybody out who was working towards his dream just so he could be alone with her? Was it peaceful when he had a panic attack after sleeping with her? Was it peaceful when she stormed the back of the kitchen after friends and family when he was having a meltdown? Was it peaceful when she made the entire meltdown about herself? Was it peaceful for her to be talking shit about him to anybody that would listen? Was it peaceful for her to not ask is he even ok? Was it peaceful for her favorite day to be Monday? Was it peaceful? Was it?

Or is she just speaking in a low tone of voice in an almost dream like quality? Is her existence to him only peaceful in his mind? Don’t let soft voices and pretty faces fool you. They are full of fallacies. Like sirens.

Thank you to my pookie @sydneys-adamu for letting me scream everytime I get annoyed 🥴

God I love the French

In France [July 7, 2024], a crowd reacts to election results showing a defeat for the hard-right political party that was expected to win big until the French people voted in greater numbers for leftists and centrists instead. This follows the complete rout suffered by the right-wing Conservative party in Great Britain just three days prior, on July 4th.
