Santiago exposing Louis by his emphasis on the second syllable borrowed from the French in front of everyone pulling his heart out and everything inside it - say New Orleans - the slow crawl toward the beginning of the end.

thinking about how tommy is uniquely positioned to help eddie in s8
under the watchful eye of catholicism, eddie would have been raised to believe in the nuclear family. this is the schema of family eddie has been trying to impose on himself and chris, at least in part because he feels like it's his fault that chris doesn't have a mother. he feels like their family is incomplete without a mother
whether eddie is actually straight or not, it's clear that he's chafing within the confines of this unexamined, prescribed, idealistic kind of heterosexuality. ryan guzman has said as much: eddie is trying to force the kinds of relationships with women that he feels like he's supposed to have, rather than ones that would actually make him happy
tommy spent decades in the closet; hiding both from himself and from the outside world. he had to come to terms with the reality of his desires and with the fact that he was not sexually or romantically attracted to women, no matter how hard he tried to force himself to be
tommy had to accept that the life that he grew up believing he would have—the one that he was told over and over again was the only acceptable way for him to live—was not a life that could ever make him happy. he is not what he thought he was supposed to be, but there's nothing wrong with that
now it's eddie's turn to learn this. he is trying with increasingly disastrous results to recreate 1:1 what he and chris had with shannon without remembering that it fell apart the first time—without allowing himself to remember how miserable he and shannon both were. eddie thinks he can force these relationships to work because he's done it before and he was happy. but he didn't, and he wasn't
maybe eddie is gay. maybe he's bi, maybe he's ace. maybe he really is straight and he just has a lot more work to do to disentangle his ideas of romantic partner and mother of my child from each other—to see a relationship as a partnership for himself rather than as payment for a debt he feels he owes to his son
eddie needs to stop getting into relationships based on guilt—based on obligation and what he thinks is the right or even the only thing to do—and start figuring out what he actually wants out of a relationship for himself
regardless of what, exactly, the writers decide eddie's core denial is going to be, tommy is the most qualified person to help him through it right now. tommy has been there. tommy knows how hard it is to date a woman who is perfectly lovely on paper and to just not be able to love her the way she deserves—because of him
tommy knows what it's like to feel broken because of this. and tommy knows what it's like to fight his way to the understanding that he is not
there was nothing wrong with tommy: he was just trying to force himself to be someone he is not because that's what was expected of him
there is nothing wrong with eddie: he is just trying to force himself to be someone he is not because he thinks that's what is expected of him
tommy can help eddie get there

I want to prefeance this by saying I have never read any TMNT comics so this is a Genuine question to all TMNT fans:
Has there ever been a Raph that actually nicknamed Leo “fearless”? I know I've heard different Raphs refer to him as “their fearless leader” mockingly but has he ever straight up dubbed Leo as “fearless”?
Or is this just something fanfic writers made up about them?

At the Red Carpet Inn in Charlotte, North Carolina, July 11, 1967. Photos 1 & 2 by Elmer Horton, photo 3 by Micky Dolenz.
“Peter Strums, [Micky] Signs As Pam Pardue, Left, And Lisa Breland Watch” - The Charlotte News, July 12, 1967
“The two girls [who won a radio contest to meet The Monkees] don’t say much besides ‘Hello’ so Mike asks them question about how they won the contest and then signs the autograph books and pocketbooks pushed toward him. He talks about ruining the pocketbooks while he is signing them then says: ‘You won’t an hours worth of shopping to be mad if I leave now? I have [to].’ Next Peter Tork comes in. But Peter doesn’t just enter the room. He bounces in, the string of little bells around his neck tingling. He is grinning and he has a guitar swung across his shoulder. Barefoot, he has on white bell bottoms, a suede shirt and a necklace of beads and shells. He’s got a good heart, that boy. He is in there upholding the Monkees’ image for humor and candor and trying to entertain the two girls. He talks — to everybody in the room — the photographer, the girls, his manager, me. ‘Hi, welcome. Do you play the guitar? I can tell you do. You are looking at my guitar.’ He plays several songs, sings and whistles, but when one of the announcers claps he stops playing and says: ‘Don’t do that. You separate us by applause. You make me the performer and you the audience. You applaud and you’re saying, "Oh, that was very nice. What else can you do?" Who needs that?
‘You shouldn’t applaud. You should just join in and dig. Just glow. I pick up on glows.’
About that time David Jones enters. He’s cute but unbelievably tiny, wearing only a blue bathing suit. Without any introduction he walks over to the two girls, says hello and sticks his hand out for the autograph books. Lastly comes Micky. All grins, he is introduced around the room. […]
Micky is the Monkee that really thrills them. He’s the general favorite and obviously number one with little Lisa […]. She can’t take her eyes off him but still doesn’t have much to say. So Micky and Peter begin singing together, Micky is still smiling and Lisa and Pam […] are still acting hypnotized when the mini-dressed PR girl tells me, ‘I’m sorry. They have to go to rehearsal..’” - article by Kay Reimler, The Charlotte News, July 12, 1967
The teen magazine clipping photo 3 is from explains that Peter’s beads were given to him by George Harrison.

hii where do you think someone should start with books on british politics, particularly the stuff you tend to post about?
omg hi!! if you want to read about new labour 100% the best place to start are andrew rawnsley's two books, servants of the people and the end of the party. combined they are about 1500 pages and they can be a little overdramatised but they are incredibly interesting and readable and batshit insane and homoerotic.
otherwise i've actually only read (listened to the audiobooks of) tony blair and peter mandelson's autobiographies and im not sure i'd recommend going through what i did with 16 straight hours of blair in my ear - @afieldinengland has read more books about them than me and might be able to give more recommendations :). ones i haven't read but intend to are alastair campbell's diaries, the rivals by james naughtie, and the new machiavelli by jonathan powell. i would also rec the documentary blair and brown: the new labour revolution, which is on youtube.
