Favourite character: of the main characters i'd say roman. at the end of the day i still want to feed him to the woodchipper, but i do think his particular brand of fucked uppedness is the most tragic and compelling to me personally

Funniest character: well. also roman.

Best-looking character: MARCIA ROYYYYY though it's tough bc succession is a cornucopia of milves. shouts to j smith cameron as well.

3 favourite ships: i don't have ships for succession in a fandom way really. though roman/gerri is the first m/f fic i've sought out in years. aside from that - i find tom and shiv very compelling. uh. idk. marcia and caroline should hate fuck.

Least favourite character: greg and/or kendall

Least favourite ship: tomgreg. c'mon

Reason why I watch it: it's well done tv. smartly written and brilliantly acted. it's gorgeous to look at. and by this point i'm invested in how it'll turn out.

Why I started watching it: i'm gonna take this opportunity to be That Guy but I did start it right as s1 was ending. i was home sick one week and needed something to keep me occupied and i heard it was good!

bless u

you knew exactly who to go for. 

implied that amy only passed her road test because she wore a short skirt and the driver was ogling her lmao mocks and belittles her at every opportunity in general, actually

outright informs amy that he loves her more than she loves him 

jealous of amy’s relationship with the doctor to the point that the doctor is accustomed to asking permission to hug her, because amy is an object to be constantly passed back and forth between them like two children fighting over a toy and not a fully autonomous human being free to make her own choices

has proved on multiple occasions that he’s well aware amy has doubts about marrying him and settling down with him and retiring from traveling with the doctor but continues to expect all of these concessions from her because he’s so insecure about the stability of their relationship he has a nervous breakdown every time amy expresses any opinions independent of him

views their relationship as a points system and one at which he will always inherently be winning because he “waited” for her, even though a) the doctor told him not to and said amy would be fine without him and b) amy was unconscious and didn’t ask and c) he canonically doesn’t even remember any of it, but guess how often rory wants to discuss amy’s very real and very much remembered traumatic pregnancy, abduction and loss of her child? never

quoting myself because i was right about this the first time: the entire foundation of rory’s relationship with amy is a lie he tells himself to feel better; he pretends amy is happy because amy makes him happy. rory is “humble and unassuming” only because it benefits him to appease amy without ever attempting to understand amy and her emotions on a deeper level. rory doesn’t want to acknowledge amy’s feelings in any meaningful way–because rory, unlike amy, is eager to forget the doctor (even if only subconsciously) because he associates eleven with his insecurities, and feels more confident when his role as the most important man in amy’s life goes unchallenged. he frequently gives amy these noncommittal, vaguely agreeable answers because it discourages her from pursuing complex emotions that don’t involve him/or that he can’t access equally, while at the same time appearing to vindicate her. it’s just this endless dance, in which rory plays the role of loving husband while in reality only wanting to validate himself and his importance to amy, and to advance his vision of a “perfect life” with her in a way that rarely takes amy’s own wants and needs into account. 

something about glee makes it impossible to process it as real even tho i have clear and vivid memories

THE SIMS!!!!! 

first of all “playing the sims” belongs on the dsm-v and i know that’s a popular text post so im not taking credit for it but it is. unfortunately. very real.

it is however unfortunately also just a very good game.

i only got into sims 4 this year so i am waaaay behind on any drama or like, The People Vs EA Games discourse but i for one am very glad we are getting university but also (contradictorily??) i very much agree that too many of the expansions/exciting gameplay options are focused on the Young Adult Getting  A Job And Getting Money type of game. i basically almost exclusively play through families and i would love stuff like different schools options, different stuff to do with toddlers, even things for elder sims?? like idk GRANDPARENTING SKILLS or something i’m spitballing bc all i’ve done recently is play 100 baby challenge so all my ideas are funelled through that lens

big kin :(

this is my consistent mood all the time gjdjfg

E: What character do you identify with most?  Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?

I think........identification is something that’s hard for me? I don’t know lol. I feel more like Emma and Regina are my kids than like they’re me, I guess. I don’t know if that makes me a bad writer or??? I do write them from the heart regardless!! They are very important and I treasure them and who they are and connect to them anyway!! 

Maybe I identify with Zelena as we are both chaotically aligned. 🤔
