okay so i had this plan. the plan was i was gonna write it under this ask. long story short, i got lazy so imma give ya the gist.

basically, after almost an hour of dealing with tommy’s self destructive behavior, rosie’s had enough and takes himself outside the restaurant so they could “talk” lol. rosie, right off the bat, asks him what he’s doing because he’s never interfered with her and walter before so why after almost three years is he suddenly budding in. tommy starts deflecting, as one does in confrontation. rosie’s short as fuck temper comes out immediately and she’s like “out with it for fucks sake, tom” bc she’s hella tired of this bullshit. eventually, the “shoe drops” and he “confesses” he doesn’t like/trust walter. of course she knows it’s 100% false because tommy was the one who persuaded her to give the posh boy a chance so that obvs wasn’t the truth. then, it “clicks” and she realizes he’s jealous of their relationship. and tommy denies it which only adds more fire to the flame and after the constant back and forth, rosie spits out “just because your relationship with grace didn’t work out doesn’t mean you can ruin mine!” and that shut tommy up real quick. 

she is so mad to the point where she doesn’t even feel bad for saying that to him because she knows how much it hurt him about grace. she didn’t even care. then, she goes back inside, tells walter she wants to go back to his place now, and they leave. she doesn’t speak to tommy for a week or so.

ugh thank you sm my love, I love you! I am going to post the latest ask drop later on tonight ♡

usually, rosie is a fun and lowkey wild drunk. it’s always a blast whenever she’s drunk because she’s super carefree, is extremely funny, and makes a fool of herself the entire time. she can hold her liquor pretty well from constantly drinking whiskey so it takes a lot of alcohol for her to be rlly drunk. but yeah, she’s definitely the kind of gal you can have fun with!

none of her brothers die, but ray does come back with a limp because he got shot in the leg and it never got the proper treatment to heal properly. her other brothers have some scars from the war which only a few have healed, but that’s pretty much it.

yes, once her father dies, they do accept her into the business with open arms. in s1, she wanted nothing to do with the business because of her father’s “ideal” standards, but over time she realizes the company could be really useful and rewarding and when her father dies, she’s more than happy to be an official member of graham’s whiskey.

oof okay, rosie HATED being home during the war. her father’s pretty old so he didn’t do much except sit in his arm chair and boss her around while making awful and sexist comments towards her. during that time, she’d spend more time with any woman in small heath because she couldn’t stand being in her house with her father. graham’s whiskey was still in the very early stages of production at that point so her father was able to handle it all on his own while the boys were away at war.

yes and no? i mean, like it’s obvious that tommy and rosie will always have that form of bond that can’t be replaced/hidden/taken away etc. but it doesn’t jeopardize grace and tommy’s relationship because they both really do love each other and they make each other happy. idk if that makes sense because im super tired lol. and no, she doesn’t get in between their friendship. she’s not really threatened by their friendship tbh.

somewhat. lizzie sometimes spent the night with tommy because he’d really need it, but rosie helped him more emotionally. so that line will be said to rosie, not lizzie.

rosie loves to read. she’s always reading the papers to see what’s going on and find out new information. when she was younger, she used to paint all the time, but she lost the love for it as she grew older because she had more important things to do. she can be talkative around certain people, but she’s extremely witty. 

tommy’s favorite thing about her is how she never lets anyone walk over her. if any man or woman wanted to take advantage of her, they simply could not because rosie wouldn’t let them no matter how hard they tried. she is incredibly strong and outspoken which tommy really admires.

sort of. she’ll never accept grace obvs, but she wouldn’t go so far as threatening to kill her unlike polly in s1. if she makes tommy happy, then rosie will suck it up and let him be happy. 

another batch aye!

their families just been hanging around each other a lot more so they grow closer by that. also, rosie is the most intellectual one in the family, besides ray, so tommy sometimes goes to her for some help. with the family business, yes sort of. i mean, she eventually becomes a part of her family’s whiskey business. then, grahams began to work under the shelby company ltd and sell their whiskey through them so yes, she’s a part of both family businesses.

i’m thinking her dad dies early s2?? i know he’s definitely dying bc he’s a misogynistic prick and i can’t let him live that long lol. but yeah, he does die and rosie literally doesn’t feel any remorse whatsoever. fuck sullivan graham.

rosie and lizzie are a fun duo later on. in s1, they rarely speak to each other because they run in different circles. and when john says he’s gonna marry lizzie, rosie thinks it’s a joke bc yannoe, no one ever believed it would work out anyways. slowly throughout the years, they start talking more, drinking together, having long talks with one another, and it’s a nice friendship between them. 

i feel like john and gus are the same person. gus is older than him, but they both act childish, have a shit ton of kids ( gus will eventually ), and love with all of their heart. but john and gus are a tight knit duo 100%. they definitely drink together all the fucking time and they’re both big idiots when they’re drunk as shit.

rosie will have a bunch of nieces and nephews in due time. not sure when but everyone in the family will have kids. gus will have the most like either four or five kids, ray will have one or two, and benji will adopt two. so yeah, one big happy family.

rosie and linda are very rocky. in s3, she really thinks linda is good for arthur and that he deserves someone who wants what’s best for him. and she knows linda is incredibly smart which is a plus. over time, her opinion of her starts to change when she views herself to be above the shelbys and grahams because of her good faith and that just really rubs on rosie the wrong way. in the end, she tolerates linda. then there’s esme. rosie never really cared enough about esme to really form a strong opinion. like she doesn’t hate her but she doesn’t like her either so it’s eh.

yes, rosie and walter will split towards the end of s2. but im thinking around s3, walter will mention to rosie that he’s seeing someone ( aka may carleton ) and rosie is beyond happy for him bc he deserves to find his person. 

oo im ready!

yes, he does! well, he and rosie both do because they both let their emotions get the best of them so it’s a mutual thing.

rosie’s reunion with her brothers makes me tear up. she and polly would pray together every day to make sure their boys were safe ( rosie, polly, and ada often got together during the war because women gotta stick together yannoe ). when her brothers return, she has happy tears running down her cheeks and literally tackles each of the brothers with a big ass hug. gus is the only one who returns the same amount of excitement back because ray is extremely worn out and also now has a bad leg and benji is still very shaken up so he needs a moment before he can feel a little at ease. when the shelby boy returned, rosie tells polly that she’s glad they’re back in one piece. she didn’t really talk to the boys before the war until shortly after they all returned.

tbh, i haven’t thought about that??? was there a draft in england?? if so, then maybe he was in the cavalry??? i’ll have to do more research on that because me + any world war = ????. but the fc for walter is tom hiddleston bc imagine any other person who is as soft as him lol. he does attend tommy’s wedding with rosie as her plus one. they’re on very good terms still and she spends quite a bit of time with him as well since they’ve known each other for a long while at that point.
