'heated'

Sorry, but I wanna talk about Chenford baby names.

I once mentioned that Tim and Lucy would def have two girls and one boy, but what names would they have?

About the girl I was thinking maybe Grace, Tami (after Tamara), Zoey (after captain Anderson) or Angie (after Lopez)

A boy was pretty challenging, 'cause I've only imagined Tim as a girl dad, but once I've tried the first I got was maybe Alex, Wade ( after Grey) or TJ (like Timothy junior). I know the last one isn't much but I thoght I would be cute.

Seven pages. Posting complete.

TL;DR: Grifting forever by taking shots at William and Kate. Charles will do nothing. They will generate less interest over time. (After 5 - 10 yrs the interest will fade.)

I think they've shared about 30% so far. The rest they've kept for future threats (as this is a staggered, multi-year approach), and/or there are legal issues with alleging certain things since they involve third parties, like allegations of "affairs" or financial matters.

I think Charles can be blackmailed into giving them things. Tom Bower says Camilla is the one who wondered out loud what Meghan and Harry's kids would look like. But Charles has been threatening them back with "attacking Camilla is his red line". I wonder what Charles' bargaining chip is. It's almost definitely either money or titles, or both. I think it's the inheritance from The Queen (or a part of it), or Duchy money, plus the titles for the kids. He's already told them through the papers that "the titles (for the kids) will be decided upon later". Money matters cannot be relayed through the media, but almost certainly that is also a bargaining chip.

William has no bargaining chip, so he will have to weather all the attacks. At this point the attacks on William are for revenge, and because their employers wanted their pound of flesh in return for fat cash. William is the perfect sitting duck. There is no point in William responding because it will just sound stupid because it'll be an exercise in clarifying half-truths. "Yes I did do this, but in this way not in this way. I did say this, but the words I used were this, which means a very different thing." See? You can't do it without looking super petty.

So... what will happen? Charles will continue to give them olive branches and they will continue to attack William and Kate every year for the next couple of years, as long as they get paid to do it. (This is why it's extremely important for people to not consume the content Harold and MM create.)

If they separate at some point, the drama will then shift to each other. Meghan will then make money from attacking Harry. Harry will slink away to Africa.

If Meghan or Harry remarry someone rich or gorgeous or influential, they will generate interest again. Meghan's best-case scenario is to marry a high-level producer with mommy issues. Harry's best-case scenario is to stay single and mingle (no minors).

If they do not separate, they will make money from the children once they are teenagers. The teenagers will be popular if they are royal adjacent, which is when the "reconciliation" is most likely to happen. Photos with George, Charlotte, and Louis will increase their value, so that is when a truce might happen, if at any time.

Of course, if Meghan and Harry are able to break into the A-list circle, either in Hollywood or in politics, they might pivot away from revenge and towards virtuous saintsainthood again. But I think the chances of that are shot. So revenge is all they have to sell.

“When will Zuko realize that he and Azula can end both Fire Imperialism and Fire Royal Family Animosity?” It would probably take awhile. He spent so long casting (and being encouraged to cast) Azula in the role of main obstacle to what he wants even after turning away from Ozai. Even if, as per Bryke, he pitied her upon seeing her chained and sobbing, I’m not sure that translates into full comprehension of how she also suffered. (1/3)

Not helped by his Uncle dumping him, a traumatized 16 year-old with no training, on the throne. Zuko still has so much healing and growing left to do at the end of the series. Who knows when he’d get the chance to do so, when he know has a nation to run and deradicalize? (2/3)

The worst part is even if he does one day come to the conclusion that they can work together and offers, Azula could still be justified in rejecting him. Especially if her condition and treatment post-war were influenced by either Zuko’s resentment or lack of caring. (Like imprisonment, or throwing in an abusive asylum and never following up.) So, yeah. (3/3)

Anyway, still how things work on tumblr. I know this is the ask box, and if it’s inappropriate to use for a response like that, I won’t do so in the future. Or just get an account finally. (4/3)
