Latex suits by @pinkyjulien.

—

Finally I get to post these, too! I'm simping these latex suits so hard! @pinkyjulien making all my dreams come true one after another without even knowing it! He just does things I like and enjoy and would love to have but never beg about because one day they magically appear anyway — I'm super lucky haha! Thank you bro for providing always such cool stuff for male (and female) V for everyone to enjoy, your work is amazing (as is the work of all the other modders out there as well)! <3 Some more about these shots if you're interested: These were done before I had NPV Ry. I shot Ryder first asap as the latex suit came out and thought a lot about giving it to Thyjs as well (yes, another matching outfit) but wasn't sure if it fits him like it does to Ry. To my surprise it looked good on him but not as good as it sits on Ryder (I wanna bite his thighs ffs). I added the fur collar to Thy at first but that was srsly too edgy for him so I went back to give him his soldier belt and that did the trick. Also had to pose him more soldier-like and see there — I was content enough to finally take his pics as well.

First I've wanted to post each seperately but then I randomly placed Thyjs next to Ryder and used a blending effect just because I wanted to see how they look next to each other and decided to let this exactly like it is and make a sort of graphics post out of it. After a week of looking into text/lyrics I've found what you can read on a few pics — its from three different songs and more random rather than fitting. Got no vigor to look further so it is what it is now :)

Another fun fact: This is all shot in V's apartment in mega building and Ryder's pics have been way pinker in the originals — I massively changed the colors of his shots because srsly he's had endured enough pink in the past weeks!

veep rewatch - 2.08

Season Two, Episode Eight - First Response 

aka - The One Where Catherine Doesn’t Eat Meat 

I’ve always thought Selina’s dress in this episode was a really interesting choice…it’s unmistakably feminine, like everything she wears, but even more so, she looks domestic in it, with the short black cardigan over her shoulders and the flared skirt. It’s like she’s stuck in the fifties waiting for her husband to come home. The contrast between the reality of Selina and her dress is quite jarring. And on a purely stylistic note, black and blue together is not a typical color combination. 

Oh my god Allison Janney, she is so great in this role. I wonder if she auditioned for this or they wrote the part with her in mind or what. Seeing her and JLD together on screen is just, like, too much iconic talent for my brain to handle. 

Janet Ryland’s assistant, meanwhile, is a dick.

And Catherine in a truly hideous top that looks like she’s wearing old curtains. I wish we could have seen Selina react to Catherine’s decision to wear it for an interview on national television. It’s funny that she even allowed Catherine wear it in the first place. 

“I’m taking this class where we debate current issues through movement.” 

“…This is a bell.” 

“It’s D.C., you can find someone willing to open their ass on a Sunday.” 

Hearts of Power: D.C’s Most Influential Couples. I would absolutely buy this book. In my version of Dan and Amy’s future, Dan’s goal is to get him and Amy featured in the follow-up…

I have no idea how these kinds of interview segments are traditionally shot…but so far this one seems to be filmed in an extremely disjointed and disorganized manner. 

The cut of Amy’s suit jacket is clearly designed to hide Anna Chlumsky’s pregnancy, and yet it’s interesting that the top and the skirt are in different colors, because it breaks up the line of the outfit in a strange way. 

Love the reveal that Mike, Amy, and Dan are stuck guarding (and therefore listening in) on Selina and Andrew’s conversation about email and casual sex.

Selina: He’s just going to get his stuff *mouthing to Gary*…in my bedroom. Gary: Oh no, oh no… Dan: *to Amy* Oh, Andrew’s been veep-fucking?! And you knew about this?! 

It’s interesting that this, of all things, is the development that officially makes him want to quit. Although I guess managing the terrible PR of Selina getting involved with her sleazy ex-husband doesn’t sound fun at all. Also noteworthy and hilarious that Dan is constantly announcing to Amy his intentions to leave. Like, jeez Dan, try to be a little more subtle about wanting her to go with you.

Ugh, Jonah is so creepy when he hugs Catherine. *shudders* 

Janet: The resolution took less time than you anticipated! Selina: Well, it took all the time leading up to this time. 

Mike munching on a carrot in the background of the lunch scene. 

The twisted family dynamics of the Meyers are on full display in this episode, as well as the degree to which Selina’s team is inseparably entangled with them…Catherine goes to Gary to remind him about her vegetarianism, and Selina demands that Amy step in and talk to Catherine when she can’t deal with her anymore. And Amy’s ready and willing to do it. 

This is the only explicit mention of Amy’s disordered eating habits as a teenager. There’s been a lot of discussion about this recently, so I won’t rehash it all in great detail (I finished this S2 rewatch, like, back in June, and just post these little recaps randomly). Suffice to say, the show is wise to drop the thread. As opposed to 2.04, the idea of Amy having an eating disorder is obviously played more for laughs here, and the point of Amy and Catherine’s exchange is about the lengths to which they’ll sink for Selina, rather than the reality of struggling with disordered eating. 

Andrew: I don’t like to brag. Janet: Not about cooking, anyway…

“I think knowing that my mother had to be available twenty-four hours a day really taught me not to be so demanding as a child.” 

The severity with which Cody Mitchell just snaps and goes off on Amy is deeply disturbing to watch in 2019. And no one in the room really even blinks at this man insulting her in an explicitly sexual way. It’s only when Amy chooses to defend herself against him that people feel they have to step in, and Dan’s just back there laughing in disbelief at the “sunshine” comment (and then he gets his evil-heart-eyes expression watching Amy furiously rant at Cody.) In contrast, his reaction to Cody’s earlier “gremlin” comment is a lot more subdued and wary, like he’s watching to make sure it doesn’t escalate. As much as I love Dan attempting to soothe Amy, and the bit with the graph…the greater context of their little exchange just comes off so dark to me now. 

“Okay, okay, you do not know anything about me. You think that this is easy, what I do?! Yeah, having 10,000 interests screaming in your fucking face the way that I am screaming in your face right now all day, every day?! I am fucking good at this!”

Dan trying to restrain Amy by pulling back on her arm is the same move he uses outside the abortion clinic. Why do I torture myself like this. 

So cute how Dan joins in on Mike’s song.

Mike: Use the Force, ma’am. Selina: I don’t even know what that means. 

Amy: Big and bold, what do you mean? Like a medley from Okla-fucking-homa?  Dan: Look, I tried to wake her up, okay? I have no choice but to be the fucking curveball. (Dan is so hot when he takes charge.) 

I feel like Selina lying on national television is a bigger risk than the show acknowledges? But then again, those who know the truth have absolutely no incentive to contradict her. 

“Now, sometimes you have to act. Always you have to listen. Because in politics, a backbone and a heart are only as good as your ears. And my ears are my livelihood.”

Dan-Amy parent watch (there hasn’t been one in a while!): Both of them trying to lie to Catherine about what her parents are doing upstairs. (This is reaching a bit, but they’re so cute and awkward about it, I cannot resist).
