The Mid Series Finale. That's right, we've made it to the halfway point in this series and dare I say, we're just getting started. I don't know about you, but I'm crying sobbing and throwing up 😔
prev / next
Olive: Be honest, was I your first girl?
Nancy: Would you be jealous if I said no?
Olive: Oh, I’d be sooo jealous.
Nancy: [chuckles] Am I your first girl?
Olive: No, but you are my best girl.
Nancy: You really are just so sweet, aren’t you?
Nancy: [giggles] What?
Olive: Nothing. I just...I miss you already.
Nancy: I miss you too. It won’t be much longer before I see you again.
Olive: You sure you don’t want to just come upstairs? See my place? My living room. My bedroom...
Nancy: Oh so tempting, darling. But I have alot to catch up on. Soon. I promise.
Nancy: Oh! I wasn’t expecting you boys to be here. Geoffrey, what are you-
Malcolm: We need to talk, Mother.
Nancy: About? Is everything alright?
Geoffrey: Please, just sit, Nancy.
Malcolm: You have some nerve. I’ve been running the foundation not even a year and yet you make it your business to humiliate me at any chance you get. Is that your goal? To ruin me and my reputation?
Nancy: Humiliate you? Malcolm...what are you talking about?
Malcolm: Gallivanting at low end strip clubs looking for whores while still married to my father is one thing but parading her around the city and spending over 400 thousand fucking dollars without a care who sees is wow- bravo! Wife and mother of the year!
Nancy: I- I beg your pardon!? Malcolm, do not talk to me like-
Malcolm: Imagine my surprise as I’m just moments away from landing the deal of a lifetime and I get a call from a journalist, itching to sell the story of Nancy Landgraab and her torrid affair. Do you how much I had to spend to clean up this mess? And what are the odds, this woman is related to the CEO of Servo Tech.
Nancy: [gasps] They know?
Malcolm: You’re not subtle and neither is she. It was nothing to find her and her receipts. She’s got you plastered all over her social media. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out it’s you. I guess that’s the price to pay for screwing a millennial-
Malcolm: Did you stop and think how this would make me look? How this would make my father look? Do you have even an ounce of goddamn shame?
Malcolm: Do you care about anyone other than your fucking self?
Nancy: Malcolm, I love you. I love you and your brother more than anything...but what’s happening between your father and I has nothing to do with you.
Malcolm: Doesn’t it? Everything you have done has affected me. Both of us. All you’ve managed to do over the years is push us away. You keep up with this shit and you’ll have nothing and no one.
Nancy: Johnathan...you’ve felt this way too?
Johnny: [sighs] Look Nancy, I’m only here cause Malcolm paid me, ok? I covered all that shit in therapy already. I’m over it.
Malcolm: It’s not too late to fix this.
Nancy: What...what do you want from me? What do you want me to do?
Malcolm: We’re one of the richest, most powerful families in the world. To the public, we’re the perfect family. I need it to stay that way. That means you need to cut your whore loose and be a proper wife and mother.
Nancy: Olivia is not a whore! She is everything to me!
Nancy: I haven’t been very honest about myself over the years—to all of you, but mostly to myself. Being with Olivia has made me finally put it all together—the one thing I’ve run from all my life. I’ll do anything for you, my baby, but please, I need her. I think I’m in l-
Malcolm: [sighs] Mother. You know nothing about this woman. Are you really willing to sacrifice it all for a felon?
Olive: Hey you...I haven’t heard from you since the trip. I miss you like crazy and I want to see you. Preferably tonight at my place. Then maybe we can hit the strip in the morning and you can pick me out something hot- but classy to wear to my uncle’s wedding. Which I’m hoping...you’d be my plus one? Hello? Nancy, are you there?
Nancy: No. No, I can’t. I’m sorry.
Olive: No? ‘No’ is against the rules, isn’t it? [chuckles nervously]
Nancy: Well. We have broken every single rule we’ve made. What’s one more?
Olive: Oook, what’s going on? Are you ok?
Nancy: I think we should end our arrangement. Clearly...it’s gone too far. It’s for the best.
Olive: ...what?
Nancy: Better now before it gets too complicated, right?
Olive: Complicated? Nancy, what are you doing? Why do you want to end this- is it me? Do you...I thought you felt the same way I did..
Nancy: I’m sorry, Olivia. I have to put my family first.
Olive: What? Your husband?? The one you said you were leaving because, uh, hello? You’re gay! Or you meant your mean, spoiled ass kids? What the fuck, Nancy?
Nancy: Please don’t throw my issues back in my face. Granted, you’ve never told me about what you’ve done.
Olive: What are you talking about?
Nancy: Why didn’t you tell me you went to prison? Don’t you think that is something I should know about you? Don’t you think the media could ruin my family with something like that?
Olive: I tell you my name and you look me up? The fuck is wrong with you?!
Olive: I see how it is. You finally get some ass and now you’re done with me. It’s what you wanted the whole damn time. You rich fucks make me sick! You don’t ever have to worry about me ruining your perfect little life. Fuck you!
Geoffrey: Would you like some wine? It’s your favorite-
Nancy: God, Geoffrey. Just leave me alone! You all got what you wanted, right? Just leave me be. Please.

dan was OBSESSED with her and she was one of his youtube crushes
dan says she's his favorite youtuber (x)
in 2010 dan went up to her at a meet up and she didn't know who he was so he just awkwardly asked for a hug (x)
'i offered charlie a pez once' (x)
geek week 2013 where they were on the same team (x)

thinking about this, thinking about how often she was probably advised to stay closeted for her own good, for the good of her career, for the good of the people around her, and how it was framed as a supportive piece of advice even though it wasn’t. It wasn’t to safeguard her at all, it was to keep her caged, chained, contained. Imprisoning her in a jail cell of her own making. And then I’m thinking about this,
Thinking about how all she wants is to be the one who gets to decide if her name, her reputation, gets ruined, because it’s her name and her choice, no one else’s, even the people who care about her. Thinking about the double meaning of vipers in empath’s clothing, thinking about how it means her fans and the tabloids and how everyone always has to have An Opinion disguised as them simply caring about her, but also how it means the people in her life who urged her to stay closeted for their own benefit, the ones who came to her and said no, I’m doing this because I care about you, don’t you care about me? Don’t you know what would happen to me if you came out? Hiding their selfishness and greed behind empathy and a sense of responsibility. Thinking about how all of this, even the idea of this, makes me want to chew my own skin off, and I’m thinking about how no wonder she’s banging on the door of the closet during the entire story of tortured poets, just begging to be out!!
