#Henry Jennings

[stpauligirl]

What do you think happened to Paige and Henry?

I have been waiting 5 years to be asked this question.

<cracks knuckles, begins typing furiously>

When Stan goes to Henry’s boarding school to tell him the truth about his family, it’s an embarrassing thunderbolt moment for him. Henry knew that midnight calls and travel agency emergencies and having no extended family were not exactly normal but he feels incredibly naive and stupid for not suspecting more. “Uncle Stan” becomes Henry’s guardian, bringing a stable and reliable adult presence to his life that he was really missing, making it easier for Henry to come to terms with things.

However, Henry is furious when he finds out that Paige knew and kept the truth from him. All the anger he feels for his parents gets directed at her and he can’t get past it and holds that hurt in his heart for a long, long time. He changes his name to Henry Beeman.

Paige doesn’t reach out to Henry. The confrontation with Stan in the parking garage scared the shit out of her and she knows it was a forever goodbye. She spends some time hiding out at Claudia’s safe house, hoping to be contacted. When that doesn’t happen, she decides to get the hell away from DC. Ultimately she wants to make a difference. She wants to feel like her life has a purpose. And she doesn’t want to be alone. So she leaves the identity Paige Jennings behind and seeks out other communist/anti-US protest groups.

This is her life for several chaotic years. It’s rough going. She thinks she knows what she’s doing because of her “training” with Elizabeth and Claudia, and she ends up doing some things that are quite risky and foolish and poorly-executed. Her activities get the attention of the FBI.

She is photographed.

Stan recognizes her.

Sam Bellamy’s Piracy Tips

1) It is always morally correct to steal from the rich and Henry Jennings

2) Sometimes you need to let the boys set shit on fire even if you’d prefer they be more chill, it’s good for morale

3) It’s not kidnapping if the kid asks to join the crew

4) Benjamin Hornigold is a chickenshit bootlicking coward, please remind him of the time he was mutinied by a guy who’d been doing this for a weekend

5) Date a witch at least once

6) When in doubt, dicks out

(thanks to @lordess-dickery-doof for some of these)

The Jennings family portrait (around the early 80's in universe) from FX's The Americans (2013-2018). Can you tell which ones are Russians spies and which one are real Americans ?

[icebluecyanide]

I still desperately want to read an AU for The Americans where they are forced to return to Russia earlier (maybe in 2x13 or when the stuff with Pastor Tim and Alice happens or 4x13 or 5x13 or some random other time) and they have to somehow kidnap their kids to Russia without drawing attention

Another day, another thought, I guess this is my life now.

So last night I was reading this article in which Matthew talks about making the film and the staging of the Paris sex scene. And it struck me how much work and attention to detail was given to this moment:

Which yes, others have talked about what is placed around the room but I'd like to present exhibits B and C:

The other times we see them in bed together, Alex is on Henry's right. Protocol or his good side? (Both?) Because that's your place when you're with a Royal.

But in Paris they're the other way around. Henry is on Alex's right. That's his place. That's where he belongs. In this moment he's not Prince Henry, he's Henry Fox. He's just this guy who is in love with this other guy.

At the DNC hotel they're mired in politics. In Kensington Palace they're in the monarchy. But in Paris? They're just them. Not so much Firstprince as... some other pormanteau. Helex? Alry? Anyway. They're them in Paris and it's as close to neutral ground as they can get and I find it interesting that Henry is on Alex's right when every other instance in his life he has people on his right. He never gets to be the person on the right. He never gets to defer to someone who isn't in some line of succession.

But with Alex? He does. He defers to him (and no this is not a comment about sexual positions) and he isn't pushed into the circumstance and rules of a situation he was born into without any choice or say in the matter. He can just be himself without the need to maintain an image or a sense of duty or adhere to some archiac institution. He's on someone's right.

(He's also put Alex on his non-good side. He's showing that part of himself to this man because he loves and he trusts him and he knows he is safe to do so. That's something else I'm feral over.)

And given how much attention was paid to the staging of Paris you will not be able to convince me that this wasn't deliberate. Matthew López himself could come into my Tumblr inbox and deny it and I wouldn't believe him.

Henry, father of the year.

Anyways, long rant about this, which 50% of it is just me listing examples.

Charlie is Henry's daughter. He brought her to life. He raised her for the first 2-4 years of her life (hurray for bad math + recons). He is her father, even if it's not by blood.

She's fully sentient. She has emotions, thoughts, opinions, and free will.

When Charlie no longer gives him joy, he wants her to be locked up and burned. I understand he may of not known she was actually alive, but she really wasn't hurting anyone. She had friends she brought joy to. There was no harm in letting her live. And again, we as the readers know that Charlie is truly alive.

But he doesn't see that. He doesn't see the girl: with friends, whom doesn't like seeing toys be taken apart, whom would end a friendship if they didn't like her toys, whom droped a jar of beads, because she was qurious what the after math would be, whom gave her friend's writing 2 stars, whom had a crush on the boy always covered in dirt, whom found her friend barfing on the rude kid funny, and then felt bad about finding it funny, whom imitated her father by doing paper work with crayons, whom was scared of foxy, nor whom hated being called Charlotte by anyone, but her father.

He saw a doll to replace his previous daughter. When she stopped making him happy, he wanted to lock her up for decades, and then finally have her burnt. If she were to survive, and manage to crawl out the rubble, he ordered her aunt to put a bullet in her.

She was "7" when he told his sister these instructions.

the emily siblings! felt like drawing them after writing Chapter 1 :] aunt jen = jennifer in my AU, but henry still calls her jen sometimes (she's also the older sibling)

[circusbabyplush]

Aunt Jen is only called “Jen” and described as cold and distant the whole trilogy and then in Henry’s suicide note, to him, she’s Jenny. She’s “My dearest Jenny.”
