Hey Owl,

I must know…Would you be down for a New Rome Book/Roman Myth or are you just waiting for the Pjo series to end after the 2nd TSATS Book? Lmao. I’m kinda mixed.

at this point i just want it to end o<-<

yknow there was a day back in like 2020 where we all thought the series was over. because rick said it was. and we all cheered and celebrated cause it was a good time for it to end and we all felt it was right and it was beautiful. and then rick announced four more fucking books for PR and advertising reasons and ever since i've wanted to slam my head into a wall. he better not get any more ideas i swear to god.

She said things like "Dad why are you like that", "This isn't funny put that away", and "If you named me that because of Marie Curie as a long set up for this joke I'm leaving Pelican Town with Sebastian on his bike and never going back"! She loved it

Marc (Guiu) actually leaving makes me so upset with him, not because he's leaving (like obviously I wanted him to stay and think that the conditions for him to get decent play time are optimal rn, but fine, if he wants to leave because he's not sure of that, whatever, he can leave, that's completely fine) but because choosing Chelsea makes no sense if what he really wants is more playing time on a first team

Thomas Stafford was the ninth child and second surviving son of Henry Stafford, 1st Baron Stafford and Ursula Pole. Little is known of his early life, first being mentioned in 1550 as he travelled to Rome, where he associated with his uncle Reginald Cardinal Pole. He spent three years in Italy before travelling to Poland, obtaining the recommendation of King Sigismund Augustus who requested Mary restore him to the Dukedom of Buckingham. Augustus's appeal appeared to have no effect. When Stafford returned to England in January 1554 he joined the rebellion led by Thomas Wyatt; this arose out of concern of Mary's determination to marry Philip II of Spain. The rebellion failed and Thomas was captured and briefly imprisoned in the Fleet Prison before fleeing to France. There, he intrigued with other English exiles and continued to promote his claim to the English throne. On 18 April 1557 (Easter Sunday) Stafford sailed from Dieppe with two ships and over 30 men. Landing in Scarborough on 25 April 1557, he walked into the unprotected castle and proclaimed himself Protector of the Realm,[2] attempting to incite a new revolt by denouncing the Spanish marriage, railed against increased Spanish influence and promised to return the crown "to the trewe Inglyshe bloude of our owne naterall countrye".[1][3][4] Stafford claimed he had seen letters at Dieppe showing that Scarborough and 12 other castles would be given to Philip II and garrisoned with 12,000 Spanish soldiers before his coronation.[5] Three days later, the Earl of Westmorland recaptured the castle and arrested Stafford and his companions. Stafford was beheaded for treason on 28 May 1557 on Tower Hill, after imprisonment in the Tower of London. Thirty-two of his followers were also executed after the rebellion.[6].

Analysis: Suki and Jerry’s Actual Jobs

What are Suki and Jerry’s actual jobs in Crystal Entertainment? This has been on my mind since I first watched Sing 2, mainly due to the jobs they appear to have don’t line up with what we’re told they actually are. These are my thoughts on their actual company roles with explanations, I hope you enjoy! 

Ps. I know there’s more evidence in this theory for Suki than Jerry but in my defense, we rarely actually see Jerry working and not just following Jimmy so...

- <3 Gooseless

Suki: The Chief Communications Officer (CCO)

Ok, so while we’re introduced to Suki as a talent scout, she actually doesn’t really act like one. In fact, a true talent scout would likely not have been as recognizable to avoid biased treatment. Nor would they have left before the full show is concluded as to be able to give an accurate review. She acts more like a company higher up, being recognizable and known in the industry, and seems to be in a position where she might go to shows after actual scouts have previewed them if they were going conflicting results, but she does not behave like an actual talent scout (again the leaving during the show).

Instead, she is constantly with both Jimmy and Jerry. She is constantly on her phone, on a tablet, talking to someone, she never stops working. She was in the room when Porsha’s firing was been discussed. And if she was a low level employee (like a talent scout), she definitely wouldn’t have been in that room. Jimmy considered that an embarrassment, he would limit the people who saw the direct response of said event. In fact, the only people in the room were Suki, Jerry (aka Jimmy’s right hand man), The Crystals, and the personal bodyguards who I can almost guarantee signed NDAs. 

She also was important enough for Jimmy and Jerry to get her before going to the theatre. Why would you get a random talent scout to go to handle the people currently putting on a show behind your back? You wouldn’t, because that wouldn’t be necessary. A talent scout would not be helpful in that situation at all. The only logical conclusion I could come up with was that she isn’t a talent scout.  

But do you know who would be privy to all the public and private workings of the company, who would be privy to all the information of the events going on? Especially since it’s their job? A chief communications officer. They run the publicity of the company, the contracts with other groups, and even the talent scout division (in rare cases). And Suki seems to handle this kinda stuff even within the movie. She is constantly typing what could be things like drafting news briefings or public statements about the show, which as it is high risk for the company, would likely be made by her. She is also there in every single big media moment of the company and seems to already know what’s going on (ie. didn’t react like Jimmy did in the news report scene, she already knew what was going on).

Also, just based on Jimmy’s personality, I don’t think he’d let a regular PR Officer/Talent Scout into any of those events either, so the only people in that room are heavily trusted by him. So, Suki being the CCO and technically on equal company footing as Jerry makes much more sense than her being a talent scout. Plus, her constantly acting as a line of communication between the company and the show is a job that occasionally falls on CCOs in high risk cases so, it makes sense she would be doing that as well.

Jerry: The Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Now Jerry… Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. He’s not a personal assistant. Unless this company has the world’s worst internal management structure in history, he cannot be a personal assistant. Because that would mean the one person, Jimmy, is running everything. Now as the CEO, he would be in charge in a broad sense and almost definitely has a few personal assistants, but that being Jerry doesn’t make sense in a corporate sense. 

In fact, we see him work doing the movie a few times and, while his desk is situated like a secretary’s, we don’t actually see him treated as one by other employees. Jimmy does, but Jimmy treats everyone that way so it doesn’t count.

Instead we see the hotel calling Jerry directly when something goes wrong. They didn’t call Jimmy, or Suki, or any other staff member, they called Jerry. Now, that’s a role that falls onto chief operating officer, aka the person who is in charge of the day to day of the company. He would be working closely with the chief communications officer and the CEO because his work directly overlaps with theirs. 

The CEO would be relying on him to handle the tiny details (like things happening with the hotel or media interactions on site) while the CCO would be relying on him to help with the presenting of the company and its work. And once again, I don’t think Jimmy would trust a secretary or personal assistant that much. But with a COO, if he goes down, so do they. It would be safer involving them in his plans. Also, the way other employees seem to differ to him wouldn’t being doing so if he was working exclusively with Jimmy (like a secretary or personal assistant), he has to have a larger company role.

ok he’s literally a racing driver so this is SO CLICHE AND SO like DUH?! but celebrating paul’s podiums and wins with him🥹 our boy has gotten 6 podiums in all 6 rounds so this had be said but like ITS SO FLUFFY AND CUTEEEEE!! im genuinely so proud of him cause seriously what an accomplishment. i just rewatched paul’s radio of him saying he was already crying cause he didnt think he made podium but he did and UGHHH it got me in my feels all over again. like him running up to you carrying his trophy and picking you up spinning you around with you telling him how proud you are. IDK HIM SAYING HE WON BC OF YOU?! (lets say him and y/n weren’t tgt last season but now they are) and everyone just staring at you guys all smiley cz ur so cute tgt but they can’t even cringe bc even they could feel how in love you are w e/o?!?!? im going insane. ITS GIVING “where’s the trophy? he just comes running over to me” -the alchemy tswift AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ok thats all (pa17 first win in austria this week🤞🏼)

-🧸

aaaaaaa "him running up to you carrying his trophy and picking you up spinning you around" is literally what i have written in a fic for him 🥺 no but fr i think it would be so cozy to be there with him during a race, especially when he does well... i mean ive cried just at the thought of his first f2 win, so imagine being there when he actually gets it?? there would be rivers of tears 😭 and him saying he did it for you ??? h e l p...... and god everyone around would be so jealous bcs yes indeed you're in love 🥰

also aaaa your ask got me thinking about like what if you got together towards the end of the last season, so you've been with him through everything bad that's happened... getting dropped by merc, not getting a prema seat..... and so it's so emotional when he wins because !! "this is what we talked about baby, you're proving them all wrong!!" 🥲

but god dont even remind me of the radio from his first podium... its so crazy how audio works because i was listening to it the other day and instantly got thrown back to the moment when it happened? and how crazy proud i was and the tears i cried and just...
