[samheughanswife]

Sam is not the messiah, he is a man with clay feet and a never ending case of foot in mouth.

Please stop with the excuses in DM defending, excusing an intelligent 43 year old man who is his own worst enemy.

First up I haven’t mentioned Caitriona because she is living the 2023 version of Greta Garbo.

She is silent on international relations du jour, thankfully. Has she learnt from being burnt previously, I doubt it. She just has zero interest in maintaining a SM presence.

I’m sure she has a private IG account where she shares her feelings on the dire state the 🌍 is currently facing. She is a woman with opinions and a social conscience. I would even go out on a limb and suggest this has been a period in which she settled into uninterrupted day to day motherhood. Post partum following L’s birth and the never ending Belfast promo had her ragged and exhausted. All that travel and living in different places with a babe would have not been easy. An enforced hiatus was a silver lining.

Caitriona has always shown she not a slave to socials unlike Sam.

I don’t believe he is subservient to his PR team. Maybe in the beginning but not now. He has agency and he can absolutely say no to strategies. The print media he appears in is a result of the fact that Sam is still decidedly C-list. He hasn’t been able to make it in FTHTSI (Financial Times), he hasn’t been able to get an interview the in NYT Saturday magazine ( even though he is a holder of a number one book cachet).

Same can be said for Condé Nast Traveller. No interest in a Brit actor with an alcohol side business to share his favorite place in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the rest of the 🌍. To share his travel essentials, whether travelling for pleasure or for business. Sam and his agency just can’t attract that market. The readers, subscribers of these publications are not aware of him from film and television roles and SS is a niche market. Because his brand is a mess.

Sam is unable to be nuanced in interviews anymore. He used to be more erudite, but not anymore.

It’s all over the place. One minute wanting to be seen as more than a shirtless thirst trap actor on IG. But then constantly reverting to form, and then chastising those who question the thirst traps, they are now referred to as holiday photos 🙄.

Then there’s the endless addendum to puerile promo of MIK and Clanlands with GMcT. It’s sooo stale and they, he knows it. That promo relies on a sexualised element for Sam. What’s under my kilt? Remember I was commando on top of a mountain?

Gen Z don’t know or care about a relatively unknown 43 year old on a series that is always keeping the audience waiting and waiting. There is so much streaming choice. New viewers and casuals just loose interest. His OL haitus filler MIK is niche and ridiculously puerile. Old fashioned slapstick, it’s just for rusted on fans.

With a week to go for TCND to hit screens it will be interesting to see the direction of his socials and the accompanying press. Will it be rinse and repeat.

Sam can do better than this. I just don’t think he wants to.

Clark Gable and Norma Shearer in A Free Soul (Clarence Brown, 1931)

Cast: Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard, Lionel Barrymore, Clark Gable, James Gleason. Screenplay: John Meehan, Becky Gardiner, based on a novel by Adela Rogers St. Johns and a play by Willard Mack. Cinematography: William H. Daniels. Art director: Cedric Gibbons. Costume design: Adrian. Film editing: Hugh Wynn.

Norma Shearer made the transition to talkies easily, demonstrating a natural way of handling dialogue. Unfortunately, A Free Soul doesn't call for much in the way of "natural" for Shearer, and it's one of the films that suggest why, of the major female stars of the 1930s (Garbo, Crawford, Loy, Harlow, Stanwyck, Dietrich, Hepburn, Colbert), she is the least remembered. She works hard at her role as the free-spirited daughter of an alcoholic defense attorney, but too often her work is undone by a tendency, perhaps carried over from silent films, to strike mannered poses: typically, hands on hips, shoulders back, chin high. She looks great, however, in the barely-there gowns designed for her by Adrian, which seem to be held in place by will power (or double-sided tape). The plot calls on her to try to dry out her drunken father (Lionel Barrymore) by wagering that if he can sober up, she'll give up her relationship with the sexy gangster her father managed to save from a murder rap. That gangster is played by Clark Gable, who got fifth billing (after James Gleason!), a sign of his status at the time. Gable had been making movies, usually in bit parts, since 1923, but this was the film that catapulted him, at age 30, into stardom. He still stands out in the movie as a natural, unaffected presence amid the mannered Shearer, hammy Lionel Barrymore, and pasty-looking Leslie Howard. It doesn't even hurt Gable that he's cast as a heel named Ace Wilfong, which brings to mind the insurance salesman in It's a Gift (Norman Z. McLeod, 1934) who annoys W.C. Fields with his search for Carl LaFong, "Capital L, small a, capital F, small o, small n, small g. LaFong. Carl LaFong." The improbable story comes from a novel by Adela Rogers St. Johns that had been adapted into a play by Willard Mack that been directed on Broadway in 1928 by George Cukor and starred Melvyn Douglas as Ace Wilfong. Barrymore won the best actor Oscar on the strength of the courtroom speech he gives at the film's end. Barrymore claimed that he did it in one take with the help of multiple cameras, but the logistics of lighting for that many cameras makes his story hard to credit.

yES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO WRITES FOR KUNIMI. Uh, anyways, can I ask for him + oikawa with a s/o who unhealthily plays volleyball literally non-stop due to a tournament coming up?

LOOKIT THIS SWEET FUCKIN BOI

IT’S BEEN LONG OVER DUE MY DUDES — CAUSE IMMA FUCKIN’ GARBO CAN … enjoy Kunimi nonetheless… Oikawa will be coming at y’all in the form of HCs soz 

K U N I M I   A K I R A 

It was never enough. Always striving to be the best in everything you did. It was admirable. How could it not be? But, you were working yourself to the bone; literally. Kunimi thinks to himself, When was the last time he saw you eat a full meal at lunch? Water can only take you so far. 

He could tell by the way you would kiss him hello at the start of the day and on your walks back home - they lacked a certain something. It wasn’t that he thought you were distancing yourself from him because your relationship was lacking; because it wasn’t. It was just… you were so hyper focused on the tournament coming up.

Attending Aobajohsai has ingrained in his mind, body and soul the payoff for working your ass off in volleyball. On the flip side he’s also been witness to what pushing yourself to your limits can do to oneself - let alone the team dynamics.

So, as soon as that special time between the two of you becomes too much of a bad thing, Kunimi is stepping up to the plate and inserting himself into your routine - however unhealthy your routine may have been.

He would make sure to be the first one out of his own practice - since he can’t well enough ditch his team lest Oikawa or worse - Iwaizumi-senpai - berate him and make him stay even later to do horses or up-downs. He shudders at the thought. So, he’s bolting out those gym doors and heading towards the girl’s gym. You should be done with practice too, which means your team should be packing it up nicely back in the storage room and wiping the floors clean of the sweat and debris. 

However, as soon as he’s walking through those double doors he hears the unmistakable sound of rubber catching on the treated floors. The squeaks bouncing around the gym, echoing. And there you are in the midst of it all, while the majority of the others are packing up. You must’ve asked the other players to stay behind and help, and by the exhausted looks crossing their faces, they seemed to be at their limits for the day.

Kunimi would step up and in between you and the net, fixating his look of indifference on your frazzled state. Though, you knew better than to think that he was looking at you with such a gaze. It was filled with concern. You hadn’t even realized that the other girls had left the court and were milling about to help clean up. Kunimi walked closer to you, your chest heaving with the lack of oxygen practice seemed to take from you.

Or was it because your boyfriend was so close that he just took your breath away? A light, breathy chuckle escapes you at the thought.

It was then that the last few weeks caught up to you, and you could feel your limbs growing heavy, chest tightening, eyes going fuzzy at the corners. You began to tilt forward only to be caught in the arms of your boyfriend. Face a scarlet red, either from practice, the blood rushing or just plain crushing you didn’t really care.

His voice soft, yet stern and oh so blunt as you loved him for it, “You shouldn’t be pushing so hard,” he starts to lecture, and although his words are harsh and true, his tone and the way he wraps his arms around you are anything but gentle and safe.

Brushing strands of hair off of your face and behind your ears, he gently rubs small circles along your back soothing you from your dizzy spell. “I love you, you know that. I can’t stand to see you hurting yourself just for a tournament.”

You wanted to snip something back at him that it isn’t just a tournament but he continued, “If it means that much to you, I’ll stay after and help you practice. Maybe even get some of the guys to join in too. But we’re going to go about it the right way. Not just push through meals and sleep. Got it?” It wasn’t so much a question at this point. But you nodded against him anyways, burying your face in the crook of his neck and wrapping your arms around him to keep you grounded and upright.
