SUCCESSION (2018-2023)
me @ various prestige dramas
i know it’s been said before but the terror truly is the show of all time it has EVERYTHING. religious symbolism. a fucked up evil bear. identical white men but they’re all gay. body horror and gore. guy who’s weird in little glasses. nuanced and damning criticism of colonialism. some great quotes about holes. everyone wears amazing coats and the main human antagonist eats people because he didn’t get to go to Hawai’i. also he’s gay
And every time I said my name, they knew my name. The first thing they said every time was your name. Like we was two halves of the same thing. I can’t be your wife, Jack. But you and I are gonna be partners till they put us in the fcking ground.

BLACK SAILS (2014 - 2017)
thinking about Louis and Lestat …. There is no life here there is no joy here there is no love here THERE IS NO LOVE HERE
thinking about Louis and Claudia….I was daughter to you when you needed love….I was sister to you when you needed companionship…..
OH YES and what about...
claudia, to louis: it will only work if you give in. give him all your heart and i'll do the rest.
louis: i can't do that. i'll lose himself in him.
claudia: leave a little shelf inside there for me. i'll jump back in and pull you out before i kill him.

silver, to madi: i've descended into those depths and connected with him so that i might be able to do so. but i am acutely aware that i'm not the first to have been there... to have been a partner to him in this way. and that the ones that have seen those depths before... they never surfaced again.
madi: maybe their mistake was in trying to do it alone. maybe to go to such a place, one needs another to hold the tether and to find a way out.
