About two-thirds of the way through season two of Boardwalk Empire, I think I’ve nailed down a proper encapsulation of Jimmy Darmody: He’s Fredo Corleone who thinks he’s Sonny.

He’s hot-headed and prone to violence, but it stems from his insecurity and desperation to prove himself and gain outside approval.  Wanting to be seen as both a tough guy and as a clever planner, so he overcompensates on both ends.  The end result is that he’s weak and he’s stupid, just like Michael Corleone described Fredo to Tom Hagen.  Always looking for a single Big Break with no forethought for how to follow through if it doesn’t turn out exactly as he expected, and easily swayed by those around him.

I was semi-spoiled by the cast list so I know he’s gone at the end of this season.  I don’t know if he’s killed, or jailed, or flees the area, I just know that he’s gone and frankly I can’t wait.  I want Nucky to be challenged by somebody competent so that it’s a true battle of wills, or at least somebody with honest integrity so I can view it as a clash between moralities.

Plus, I am desperate to see Angela escape him and start her own life.  He is truly horrid to her, and the fact that it is a subtler and quieter horrid than Tony Soprano doesn’t mean he isn’t horrid.  He’s got her trapped, and when she breaks free I will cheer.

BOARDWALK EMPIRE 1.12 “A Return to Normalcy”

[signify-nothing]

It's been a literal fucking decade and I still have SO MANY FUCKING FEELINGS about the season two finale of Boardwalk Empire. (Spoilers ahead because, obviously). On one hand, I mourn the series that could've been if the commodore actor hadn't gotten sick when he did and if Michael Pitt had been able to keep his act together long enough to have another season's worth of story development. It's crushing that Jimmy Darmody never got a chance to rise as a gangster and really play a strong antagonistic force against Nucky the way we hoped he would.

BUT there is also something so fucking gutsy about the writers setting up Jimmy to be such an epic, early failure. I just finished rewatching the third to last episode of season two and Jesus Fucking Christ. Watching him have his last moment with Angela? Devastating. He can't even fucking laugh with her. He doesn't even know how to be remotely normal. Then later that night she and her lover get shot for his failures, and it's EVEN MORE devastating. And then. AND THEN. We cut to Jimmy, who doesn't yet know his wife is dead at home, and he's driving past the Princeton sign -- conspicuously without Richard in sight for the first time in ages -- to try to sell his shitty, watered-down liquor to the university that symbolizes every dream he failed to realize. It's a journey he has to make alone because it is more than anything else a journey into his own past.

And to think ALL OF THIS IS JUST SET UP. It's just the opening act of the end.

I simply cannot. I'm so angry about what went down but I also have so much goddamn respect. There is a reason I wrote a whole fucking novel inspired by the end of the second season of this goddamn show. Nobody does updated Greek tragedy like Boardwalk Empire. Fucking no one.

For asks meme: 8, 10 and 18 🤗

8 - Do you prefer happy, bittersweet, or sad endings?

Bitterweet (or open) endings.

10 - characters that deserved worse? >:]

Some of these might be a little controversial, but here we go: Thomas Shelby (Peaky Blinders), Logan Roy (Succession), Everett Gallinger (The Knick), Lady Catherine de Bourgh (Pride & Prejudice). Probably some more, but these were the first to come to mind.

18 - characters you want to wrap in a blanket and tell them they’re going to be okay?

Gillian Darmody (Boardwalk Empire), Angela Darmody (Boardwalk Empire), Ada Thorne (Peaky Blinders), Charlotte Ritter (Babylon Berlin), Tom Wambsgans (Succession), Aegon II Targaryen (House of the Dragon), Alicent Hightower (House of the Dragon), Emily Malek/Ofglen (The Handmaid's Tale), Tom Bennett (World on Fire). Again, there's probably more, but these were the first to come to mind.

Richard: Whatever love is, that's what I felt for Emma.

Angela: Do you visit her often?

Richard: When I came back from the war, she nursed me, and gave me morphine to keep the pain at bay. Despite my injuries she treated me no different. I was her brother, the closest person in her life. But suddenly... I felt different toward her. I would stare at her... And feel nothing. I lost whatever I thought love was. When my wounds healed, I moved to Chicago to get lost there. I haven't spoken to her since.

boardwalk empire character’s music taste (mostly team ny)

charlie: aggressively angsty, gay, and emo. 100% listens to mcr, fall out boy, and ALL of mcr solo stuff but especially frank iero

benny: just pure chaos. will listen to random musical songs (but like the WEIRD musicals like avenue q or assassins) and has an unexplainable obsession with taylor swift

angela: 100% stereotypical artsy lesbian music. girl in red, king princess, hayley kiyoko etc

meyer: half classical music for studying, but also likes any calmer music in general like folk, indie stuff, acoustic etc

pls lmk your other ideas ! @flysafepapi you have the best ideas pls lmk what you think :)

Ah frick, I just caught some spoiling info for the end of season two of Boardwalk Empire and it sucks.

It’s bad that I was spoiled in advance, and the content itself is something that I am very unhappy about.

Dangit, that is not how I was hoping things would go!

Well, all I can do now is hope that I read it wrong and it’s actually going to turn around.
