if i was making scandal s4 i'd have a psychological horror cyrus subplot where he's periodically haunted by a rotting, zombie-fied ghost version of james every time he continues to support the administration in his usual immoral ways, both serving as a representation of his guilt over his loss, and the constant reinforcing of his sunk-cost fallacy way of coping. but because this wasn't relevant to olivia's journey they didn't include it.

Scandal spoilers

OH YEAH!!

I'm on season 4 of Scandal and I am STUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH PART OF THE DAMN TRIANGLE I LIKE MOST...

IS IT OLIVIA AND FITZ OR OLIVIA AND JAKE-

Like- I hate Fitz. Get your fucking marriage together, check on your damn wife-

Jake- you did some fucked up shit too- I won't forgive you for the way you fucked up Cyrus's life but you're also not already married... that we know of at least.

Quinn... we don't talk about her. Fuck her. Not literally. (I'm looking at you Charlie)

Huck needs all the hugs in the world and a protection squad

Still dunno how to feel about papa and mama Pope (Though in the episode I'm like- in the middle of watching- papa Pope almost made me cry lol)

Cyrus... you fucked up too but HUGS! YOU NEED THEM.

Harrison... o7 Gladiators in suits

Abby is cool, she needs hugs too

B613 is scary

Mellie needs therapy and all the hugs and support

Fitz's dad better be rotting in the worst parts of Hell

James... o7

Seeing Mellie laying at her sons grave is so heartbreaking

[reidselle]

no bc at least the deaths that happen on greys shonda makes it make sense in one way or another im literally not comprehending or accepting quinn’s rn… literally in the middle of the last season?? so so out of the blue?? idk even tho i “saw” it happen im holding onto hope that she’s still alive w baby robin someway somehow…. like olivia can’t get my love back after the plane but this just seems too impossible for her to do

IDK IM A RAMBLING CRYING MESS RN

Love that we have the option to flirt with Jing Yuan in broad daylight and in front of everyone by telling him he's in our dreams.

Sorry Yanqing, your dad is a milf

seeing Echo’s ears for the first time in a long time made me feel like a Victorian man seeing a woman’s ankles

[ndostairlyrium]

I love the intensity of Emmrich and crypt baby Rook's conversations because they're very close to the ones I have with my colleagues irl, like

"They told me to modify a 100x100 jpeg, and to send it back with the same specifics. FOR PRINTING"

"Fucking preposterous"

[vonlipvig]

[billygoat26]

currently fixating on how quickly Rhaenyra and Mysaria jumped apart when they got interrupted. not only because it triggered very familiar memories for ME, but also for the headcanon (shared by Olivia Cooke) that Alicent's mother once caught her with Rhaenyra like that. would not have been fun for our queen to feel that panic again

SUCCESSION 4x06 Living+

This is for tomorrow? Hollywood, though. Right?

[boylikeanangel]

biggest biggest biggest win for the trent girlies yet with this week's addition of both a dolly parton and the cure tshirt to the wardrobe

how I like to imagine lucanis is feeling about being dragged along to the grand necropolis every other day in this playthrough... it's about the duality of

all the walking dressed up skeletons and other assorted body parts strewn around: undeniably kind of bad and creepy. how the fuck is it so cold and windy down here all the time rook is just a slip of a thing how are they not shivering constantly. should I get him a nice warm scarf or would that be against his sense of swag as a watcher I am currently being made to think way too much about spirit possession (these weirdos seem to think it can be benign???? it does NOT feel benign). someone might have worked very hard to get those bones to lie still and dead on the ground it seems disrespectful to that hard work to make the bones get back up again and dance a jig like this. is all I'm saying

vs.

hearing rook speak to spirits and wayward wisps with kind calm authorativeness and care and generally show a whole new side of competence and knowledge they've kept close to the chest so far: ...this better not awaken anything in me (challenge failed)

(rook who's anxiously trying to gauge if the skeletons are going to be a dealbreaker fondly reminiscing 'oh I had my first kiss over there by the van markham mausoleum from the latter part of the steel age actually' and lucanis having to admit 'this does explain some things about you'. there must be some kind of comfort in feeling like you're too removed from the normal human experience anymore to connect with someone only to find that the person you're growing a terrible crush on had barely ever seen the sun until the age of like 34 and thinks this place is the height of normalcy. lucanis' broody line where he's like 'I only know death' and ingellvar both meaningfully and amusedly raising their eyebrows like 'yeah? uh-huh? please, say more' fhdskjaf. i'm sorry you've had your freak matched lucanis I'm sure it's a bit disorienting but we'll figure this out together yet. two little death dudes sitting in a tree k i s s i n g and also trying to figure out the 'life' part of things together)
