He arrived in Australia in 1949 with his family, Polish survivors of the second world war, and continued the family tradition of earning a nice living in the textile trade.

Concerns about Goldberg began to circulate late in 1989 and between Christmas and New Year 1990 his bankers appointed KPMG Peat Marwick to look at the company. Sykes recounts:

What [KPMG] uncovered was one of the biggest rats' nests of the 1980s. The Goldberg empire comprised a web of companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals. Money had been shuffled around in it untraceably. The total debt was far larger than anyone had thought – to the horror of the banks – and was hopelessly in excess of the value of the assets. The Godfather of the rag trade was broke several times over. On 24 January 1990 the bankers voted to appoint receivers to Linter Group. It was the end.

I already talked about this over on twitter, but here are a few things I noticed from poring over every frame of season 4

Rhys crochets in his spare time (I was very quick to integrate this in my newest fic lmao)- He totally makes Joe sweaters and shit :D

He was writing a sequel to good man cruel world :( and he didn’t get to finish bc of Joe

“fucked off during high school, missed rowing most”??? 

He slept in the laundry room by the dryer to keep warm!! My poor guy :(

Joe wanted to lure him in on a dating app??! FRUIT.

“most fit mayor candidate possibly ever” okay gayboy

wants kids “someday” 🥺🥺🥺 Henry coulda came in clutch!!

in part of Joe’s book annotations he circles a line about Rhys going on a date and writes “who is he dating?” jealous jealous jealous

In conclusion I have put an insane amount of effort on this show and I am going insane over them

[intertexts]

frequently i think man i don't actually have anxiety, i'm chill with talking to people and navigating situations alone and high stress scenarios, i was just misdiagnosed due to the Everything Else, & then, like, sometimes i catch these fucking thought processes in my head and go jesus fucking christ. that is Not normal!

dogged pursuit. dr veritas ratio. p2 of ? but you don't need to read part 1 but if you want to it's here summary: you've been appointed as the bodyguard of one doctor veritas ratio after a failed attempt on his life. he's easy to get along with, so long as you learn when to plug your ears and focus on his washboard abs. tags. suggestive content, reader insert is a bit of a freak

“You’re up early,” you remark idly as you trudge down the stairs. Because it frankly is. The sun’s barely risen. Watery light washes in through the partly opened blinds. A brief glance out the window sees the narrowed streets mostly barren, only a few comers and goers. A woman jogs with her dog. A couple in floral shirts and sandals walks by, chatting leisurely.

Ratio stands in front of the stove, spatula in hand. 

“I wake up at six in the morning every day,” Veritas informs you. On the skillet, something that looks suspiciously like bacon and eggs sizzle. The egg is a little too brown to be an egg like you’re familiar with—the ones on your home planet have a bright blue yolk. “Waking up at a consistent time each morning ensures you sleep better every night. You should give it a try. It might fix that Rube Goldberg machine you call your circadian rhythm.”

“Hmm. I’ll have to do that, then,” you say, bending over the kitchen eyeland to peer at him. He’s wearing a white apron with pale blue gingham patterning. It is, most unfortunately, not the frilly kind like you might have hoped. The tie still cinches around that pretty waist, the pearlescent fabric of his robes bunching up where it’s fastened, strings pulled into a little bow. His robes end just above his knees. Like this, you can peer down at his calves. His ankles. 

Are you really getting off on this guy’s ankles? Shit. You kick off the island and sway around it, crossing your arms and leaning up against the counter, next to the stove. 

Here, you can admire the flex of his hands, the handsome curve of his nose. His dark lashes are thick, fanning over his cheek every time he blinks. “Any other advice you’re willing to give, Doc? I’m all ears.” 

Your fingers wiggle as you exaggeratedly reach over the pan, aiming to pinch a piece of bacon off the popping, hot surface. He swats you away with a scowl.

“I did not have to make enough for us both,” he reminds you, warning you. “The least you could do is wait.” 

“You’re so right, Doc. Patience breeds success and all that,” you nod factually, attempting to look as remorseful as possible for your attempted pilfering. 

He rolls his eyes, and motions over to the sink. Next to it, two mugs are sat. Steam steadily rises from each one. You blink over at them, and then look back to your long-suffering companion. It takes a moment for you to put two and two together, utterly unprepared for him to be so kind to you. 

“For me?” you ask, unable to keep the tender pitch out of your voice because—wow, shit, he really thought about you. He’s cooking for you. It’s a heady kind of feeling that fills you, then. This kind of domesticity is so often out of reach for a person who lives your kind of life—but the esteemed Doctor Veritas Ratio is wearing a cute little apron and laboring over the stove, for you (and himself, but he’s being nice enough to share, and that’s enough to get you going).

He lifts his head from his labors, looking at you with a gauging but otherwise indiscernible expression. 

“Yes,” he says, softest you’ve heard him all morning. “Drink your coffee and sit down.” He commands, but it sounds more like he’s griping at you.

Short Lines I highlighted in TGG:

“You’re not looking for anything, are you, love?” - Rohan

“One of them was Avery Grambs, which made her masked partner Jameson Hawthorne” - Lyra’s POV

“Grayson Hawthorne could damn well move mountains with a flick of his wrist.” - Lyra

“That’s the only thing I could ever want from you, Hawthorne boy.” - Lyra

“You just wait, Eyebrows of Doom, Gigi thought. Just. Wait.” - Gigi

“Everyone should dance barefoot on the beach at night at least once in their life,” - Avery

“He and Avery were dancing. Barefoot on the beach,” - Gigi’s POV

“Xander Hawthorne appeared to be channeling his inner James Bond, accent and all.” - Rohan’s POV

“Grumpy Pants Tuxedo Abs, because hey, the man was built.” - Gigi

“Gigi didn’t get to fall apart.” - Gigi

“Talk nerdy to me.” - Gigi

“Wouldn’t dream of it, love” - Rohan

“Rohan smiled - not a roguish smile but one that was sharp-edged, wolfish. His real smile.” - Rohan

“Not on him. The gown, his hand, my thigh” - Lyra

“Knox had progressed from staring at the riddle on the wall to glaring at it like it had killed his puppy or given him a wedgie or both.” - Gigi

“Answer incorrectly, and I can only hope that you appreciate the truly undervalued art of yodelling.” - Xander

“Give me your eyes, sweetheart” - Grayson

Notes:

Fantastic capture of this incredibly immersive and beautiful production. there is a bar in the bottom right corner of the screen that doesn't take away except for one moment where Gandalf and Frodo are talking on the stairs in act one, but overall I worked around it and you can always see Frodo and sometimes Gandalf. At points people are in the audience and I wasn't able to capture them but you can always hear them and I do my best to always try to make sure to capture anything in the audience that I could. Some washout and shakiness throughout.
