'the doom of being mrs. draper'

excellent anaylsis

[aftermadmen]

Megan Calvet, formerly Draper, meets Brooks Hargrove shortly after coming back to New York. Hargrove, at the time, was in the middle of his divorce with Roger’s daughter, Margaret, who up and left her family to live in a hippie commune.

Only a couple of years fresh off her marriage with Don, Megan and Brooks initially bond over the parallels in their respective divorces. Megan finds Brooks’ stability attractive and a breath of fresh air after the bad crowd she left behind in LA. Brooks, in turn, loves how attentive she is to his son, Ellery.

Their friendship soon turns romantic, with her now stepfather Roger giving his blessing in spite of (or perhaps because of) the circumstances.

Megan and Brooks married shortly after the highly publicized custody battle was resolved, with Ellery being legally adopted by Megan. The couple would go on to have three beautiful daughters, and are married to this day.

Megan is famously tight-lipped about her first husband, even after his death. Though she has stayed on good terms with her former stepdaughter, Sally.

“He was a troubled man, and I wasn’t part of the last thirty years of his life.”

There’s something about Don Draper and Megan Calvet that appeals to my inner “Lana del Rey.” Like I liked Betty Draper, but Megan was giving more femme fatale and blackpilled French Canadian girl vibes.

There’s something about the soap opera storyline of Megan the failed actress meeting the impossibly handsome and wealthy Don Draper at work, falling in love, and then realizing that he’s a weird old alcoholic sex addict with a compulsive cheating habit and a dark past that speaks to my love of film noir and Old Hollywood.

Don and Megan give off a Liz Taylor-Richard Burton image of retro effortless cool which masks boomer alcoholic dysfunction and repression and they managed to make it look romantic. The age gap toxic romance girlies are still thinking about this classic Mad Men ship to this day!

Favorite crackships?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ANON!!!!!! 🤩🔥💯💥

Crackships are silly but also super fun!! (: 💓

Alright, so the very first one that came to mind was Kono Kalakaua/Danny Williams from the 2010 reboot of Hawaii Five-0.

Now, I am definitely a very loyal McDanno (Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams) girlie through and through. I also really enjoy(ed) Kono's relationship with Adam!!

That being said...

Kono and Danny had some flirtations during the very first few season one episodes. They for sure would have been cute together and really would have made an excellent couple overall. 🥰

Speaking of Hawaii Five-0...

Steve McGarrett and Dean Winchester is also a fave.

They feel so right to me in a way that truly doesn't make a lot of sense, which is how I know that this is an excellent crackship.

Perhaps they are too similar to each other, but then again, that's what would be fun about watching and reading about them!!

Next on this list, I'm gonna say Troy/Kelsi from High School Musical.

They are only a crackship because of how iconic Troy/Gabriella are...if Troy/Gabriella weren't the main romantic couple of the trilogy (Chad and Ryan aside of course because they definitely count, even if they weren't canon-canon! 💓), then I fully believe that they would have had more potential.

Troy complimented her song writing/composition abilities in the first movie and then at the end of HSM 1, literally gave her the championship basketball because she was "the playmaker". 🥺🥲😩💞

Also, all of the most romantic songs that Kelsi wrote for Troy and Gabriella...there was always just a little something extra there that made me think that she was moreso thinking about Troy and herself when she was writing them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's hard to explain exactly what I mean because of course Kelsi was always super respectful to Gabriella and Troy and Gabriella's relationship in general.

But I just feel that there was so much potential for them!! They definitely could have worked out and lasted way past high school. 💗

But yeah, they are also a major crackship because Troy was always hella smitten with Gabriella, even when he maybe shouldn't have been. 👀

Moving on, I have to mention Olivia Pope/Mellie Grant from Scandal.

They have so much history and moments together that really solidified them into the Crackship Hall of Fame. Maybe they aren't as cracky as what some crackships are, but they would have probably raised more than a few eyebrows if they had ever been real.

And for the record, Fitz didn't deserve either of them!!!!! 😤

Onto Law and Order: SVU...

Olivia Benson/Nick Amaro is a hardcore crackship.

There's no way Liv would have ever hooked up with Nick for realisies, but it's still hella fun to imagine what that would look like (:

I am also counting Elliot Stabler/Alex Cabot as a crackship!!!

They have just as much energy and chemistry as what Benson/Stabler and Benson/Cabot do.

It's easy to forget about them because of these factors, but it's also what makes them so nice to consider from time to time. (:

Next, I'd be amiss of I didn't mention Megan Calvet-Draper/Joan (Holloway) Harris from Mad Men!!

This is a pairing that literally doesn't make sense at all for many reasons. I still like to think about them together anyway though because it's fun and crazy!!

Finally, last but not least, I must mention all of my NFL RPF ships. (Tom/Rob, Tom/Jules, Jules/Danny, Joe/Ja'Marr etc.)

These are all crackships because they of course focus on real, living people who, no matter how damn obvious they are, have never confirmed real relationships with any of the people I ship them with. 🥴🫣😶‍🌫️😔

Ok!!

...I think that's all of 'em for now. 🙂

That was way more than what I was first thinking when I originally received this ask!! 😱🤯😵‍💫

At the end of the day, though I have my set OTPs, it's cool to think about different fandom pairings in way that isn't usually seen. 🥰

I hope that you have enjoyed reading all of my crazy and random answers, anon!!!

Thank you again for sending this in; I had a lot of fun working on it!!!!! 🌟

Dancing is a dangerous game

Roger Ebert called it a stunning portrait of growing up. Suzanne, in her quest down Route 495, has realised that a satisfactory life is lived in the anticipation of others but instead making your own joy and happiness through acceptance.

Don hasn't paid attention to the film Route 495, as the newspaper implored him to. All he saw as Megan's character sat forlornly on the porch was Megan. Even though most his days have been filled with Betty, he can't think of anything but.

...
