#Shitshow at the Fuck Factory

[deadpresidents]

Hypothetically what do you think would have happened if the january 6 rioters had gotten to pence or pelosi before they got safe?

At this point, I almost dread answering questions like this anymore because I know the kind of hate mail it will unleash for the next few days, but it's important to keep talking about what happened on January 6, 2021 since so many people are trying to normalize it. That includes many people whose lives were in danger that day, as well as the former President who tried to hold on to power by encouraging his supporters to launch a violent insurrection and is now referring to those who have been brought to justice for attempting a coup as "patriots" and "hostages".

I genuinely believe that there were people in that crowd who would have killed Vice President Pence, Speaker Pelosi, and certain Congressional leaders if they had reached them on January 6th. I think there are people in that crowd who were ready to hold lawmakers hostage. Why else did they have handcuffs and zip ties? To help the Capitol Police maintain order? (Oh yeah...that's right, thanks for reminding me: they violently attacked the police -- some even beat police officers with the "Blue Lives Matter" flags that they brought with them.) Now, I do not think that everybody who was at the Capitol on January 6th -- or even the majority of those who took part in the insurrection -- were willing to go that far. I think a lot of them got swept up in what was happening and went with the flow. That doesn't excuse what they did. The flow that they got swept up in was still a fucking insurrection, and anyone who took part in that deserves to be held accountable. But I think there were certain elements embedded throughout that crowd that were much more organized and prepared to fully execute their plans for a coup after disrupting the certification of the Electoral College votes.

I actually think Vice President Pence was probably in more danger than even Speaker Pelosi or some of the Democratic leaders because Trump was so actively calling him out in the days and hours before the insurrection. I think that's why Pence is so adamant now about not supporting Trump. I mean, think about how disgustingly loyal and subservient Pence was to Trump throughout those four years until basically the first few days of January 2021. But even as other Republican leaders are crumbling and offering their allegiance to Trump again in 2024, Pence is standing by his decision not to endorse or support Trump, and I think that's because he realizes that Trump absolutely almost got him (and his family, who were with him in the Capitol on that day) killed on January 6th. Shit, even Mitch McConnell has folded and endorsed Trump again despite the fact that Trump has spent the last three years not only insulting him but also making racist attacks and questioning McConnell's wife's loyalty to the United States all because Elaine Chao had the audacity to resign from Trump's Cabinet in the wake of the insurrection. Yet Mike Pence -- who spent the better part of four years following Trump around like Paul Heyman follows Roman Reigns...

...THAT same Mike Pence is steadfastly refusing to endorse Trump because he has personal experience about how real of an existential threat Trump is. Some of those people at the Capitol were very serious about following through on their chants to "Hang Mike Pence", and not only does Pence realize that, but he also knows now that Trump -- who refused to take actions that would have helped clear the Capitol more quickly -- said "he deserves it" when hearing about those chants.

That's what is so scary about the insurrection, its aftermath, and the Trump Republican Party's redefinition of what happened that day. It almost worked. They stormed the United States Capitol and invaded both chambers of Congress. They carried Confederate flags into the United States Capitol -- even the fucking Confederate States of America didn't successfully invade Washington, D.C. and plant their flag in the Capitol. They were willing to hurt and probably kill some of America's elected leaders. And the people who helped plan and instigate the events of January 6th have spent the three-plus years since then learning from their mistakes and figuring out how to be successful next time. And guess what? "Next time" is only a few months away.

12 hour shifts should be illegal. Holy hell.

#venting. Feel free to scroll past #so tired of being stuck in a hole of a town #you try to look for a job and it's like hey! your options are: 10 jobs where there's never enough people working and you have to do #5 tasks at once or 3 jobs where you slave your entire day away in a factory with hypersurveillance and no social interaction #and hey haha maybe you'll get a break?? It's totally not guaranteed in your first 10 options hahaha #FUCK #the nearest marginally okay job is an hour away #gas cost is up the fuckin roof #but hey! there's ways of getting around earning money.

The shitshow at the fuck factory parallels. Roman's denial and refusal to acknowledge that his dad might be dead. Kendall's coping by throwing around his authority and trying to summon "better doctors" like that will solve the problem. Shiv getting mad at the people focusing on the business end, then trying to game the system and hide Logan's status. Kendall being the sibling that knows they have to focus on the business end. Connor marrying Willa like him calling her to the hospital to the disgust of the family. The close associate (Frank and now Gerri) fired but only in words for the sake of Roman. The attack up in the private jet just like up in the helicopter.

All this time later and they're still the exact same fucking family they've always been.

I am physically unwell.

24. just really needed a hug sort of hug for 00leiter would be amazing if inspiration strikes! 🥰

Alex, mi vida! Thank you for always inspiring and indulging my deep-seated need for 00leiter, and thank you for this prompt. 🥰 Your wish is my command, my friend! It's here, continuing below the cut, as well as on ao3:

sometimes it takes the night to fall

“My mother wanted me to go to law school,” Felix says. His tone is measured, and this, this, is something he’s going to include in his annual performance review at the Agency, which his supervisor signs every year without reading a word: Agent Leiter is calm and measured, even when he is soaking wet, covered in pink feathers, and holding a flash drive with the plans for a chemical weapon designed to take out half of Europe, circumstances which Agent Leiter would have avoided entirely had his MI6 counterpart not been a fucking asshole.

“‘You’ll make good money, son,’ she would tell me,” Felix says. He pulls his Glock out of his holster, pointing it toward the floor to let the water drain from the barrel. “‘You’ll wear nice suits.’ But no, I knew better. I didn’t want to take the motherfucking bar exam.”

“You wear nice suits now, Felix,” Bond drawls, looking him up and down, and Felix is either going to punch or kiss that look off his face, but he hasn’t decided which, yet.

“Normally, I would agree with you, James,” Felix says. Measuredly, again, because he’s a goddamn station chief for the CIA. “But right now, my nice suit looks like it survived simultaneous explosions at a poultry farm and a Pepto-Bismol factory.”

Felix had had plans for their mission in Prague, plans which involved a timeline, and coordinates on a map, and the judicious use of SIGINT. James Bond had had instincts, and even if those instincts had been accurate, as far as identifying the Belarusian middleman they were looking for went, his methods left a lot to be desired, seeing as they primarily involved a chase through a crowded craft fair in the center of town, followed by what could charitably be called hijacking a bachelorette cruise in order to chase said middleman down the Vltava River. And now here they were, on a deserted dock in a decidedly seedy part of town, mercifully free of bachelorettes, but with an unconscious henchman tied to an oil barrel behind them, waiting for the ride that would take them not to their warm, comfortable hotel room near Karluv Most, but to the U.S. Embassy, where Felix could hand off the hard drive and then spend the rest of the night filling out the ream of paperwork required after the sort of nuclear-grade shitshow James Bond tended to leave behind him on a good night.

“I think I know what you need, Felix,” Bond says, and the way his mouth turns up at the corner can’t mean anything good.

“What I need,” Felix says, “is not to be picking penis-shaped confetti out of my beard.”

“No,” Bond says, stepping closer, and if the British exfil team doesn’t get there soon, Felix is going to paddle to the Embassy on a goddamn inflatable canoe, “No, that’s not it.” 

He brings a hand to the back of Felix’s head, drawing him in close. “Why don’t you start by putting your arm around my waist.”

They’re Felix’s own words from years ago, directed back at him with Bond’s characteristically lethal precision. Not long after the events in Bolivia, Felix had flown into London for the memorial service of another MI6 colleague who had died in the line of duty. Later, after everyone else had left, he’d joined Bond where he stood in the back of the church, stiff with grief and the bone-deep chill of the British winter.

“She drowned, you know,” Bond had said, his tone conversational. “004, I mean. She deserved better. It’s a terrible way to go.”

Bond and Felix had been lovers for mere weeks at that point, if that designation even applied to the handful of hours they’d stolen in South American hotel rooms and, on one memorable occasion, the lost luggage room of a train station in the middle of nowhere. But Felix wasn’t an idiot. He’d been in Venice when Vesper died. Even then, he’d known Bond well enough to know what wounds would be fatal to him, if left untreated.

“It is,” Felix had said. He hadn’t dared to say much of anything else. “I’m sorry for your loss, James.”

“It’s England’s loss,” Bond had said. He’d already begun to go distant around the edges, all of the lines of his body tensed for a fight. Felix had wanted nothing more than to demand Bond come back with him to his hotel room, to fuck him fast and merciless until all the tension bled from his body, until he was easy and louche again, unspooled against the Egyptian cotton sheets. But his first instinct with Bond wasn’t always the right one, back then, and he’d looked at Bond in silence for a long moment before making his decision.

“Come here,” he’d said. “I’m going to give you a hug.”

Bond had looked at Felix like he’d just suggested they piss in the baptismal font. “A what?”

“A hug, Bond. Jesus Christ. Come here.” He’d pulled Bond in by the lapel of his expensive wool coat. “You start by putting your arm around my waist, like that. Then you put your other arm around my shoulders. Like this, asshole. And then—” Felix had squeezed with all his might. “Then you hold on tight.”

They are here, now, tonight—and by “here” Felix means Prague, means the dock, means covered in dirty river water and the detritus of phallus-shaped souvenirs, but he also means so much more than that—in no small part because all those years ago, his own instincts had been right when he’d taken James Bond in his arms in an empty church, and so as angry as he is, he’s powerless to deny James this, now. He gives in to the inevitable and steps into the embrace, dropping his head against James’s neck.

“I hate you,” he says, but there’s no longer any heat in it. “This was the worst night of my career.”

“The ladies liked it,” Bond says.

“The ‘ladies’ thought we were strippers. One of them threw her drink on me when I refused to take my shirt off.”

“The night is still young,” Bond points out. Felix refuses to turn his head to look at him, on principle, but he can feel Bond’s smile against his cheek.

“Fuck you and your entire country,” Felix says. “I’m glad we threw your fucking tea in the harbor.” But his head is still on Bond’s shoulder, and his arms are around his waist, and he’ll stay that way until the sound of a distant motor signals that their ride is near, and the night moves on around them.

absolutely crazy to say shitshow at the fuck factory is the 4th worst episode of succession ESPECIALLY after this season which made it even better in hindsight

#like it telegraphed perfectly the family dynamics #so perfectly in fact that they played out identically three seasons later when logan actually died #crazy ranking list. sorry rolling stone #succession

[stupid-sloot-headcanons]

Request: Heisenberg reprimanding his (now) rescued escaped darling, who'd been snatched up by Lady Dimitrescu after she successfully fled from his factory?

He'd be SO fucking angry. The absolute worst two things that could have happened just happened once: his Darling escaping, and then his Darling getting snatched by Lady Supersized Bitch. The only way it could've been worse is if Miranda had gotten to them too.

The entire time he's going back to the factory with her, he doesn't say a word. And moment he's got her back inside, he immediately has some metal wrapped around her waist to pin her to the wall and then makes a pair of handcuffs with his powers that clamp around her wrists.

He kicks the nearest chair or table and destroys it in a fit of rage, just because he's so upset that Alcina would take his Darling and he can't try to kill her without Miranda making things inconvenient. He's yelling at Darling, demanding to know what the fuck she was thinking. Was she bored? She wanted to be free? Great fucking plan, look how that worked out; he just had to drag her out of that giant vampire's dungeon.

And he gets mean, too. Was she not satisfied? Was being stuck in the factory not fair? Was she mad at him for kidnapping her? Well, tough fucking shit! Life isn't fair, he certainly knows that. If life was fair, he would've never been taken by Miranda and wouldn't be here in the first place. He'd be with his real family as opposed to this shambling shitshow of freaks and cultists. And if life was fair, his Darling wouldn't have stumbled into the village looking for directions and caught his eye.

He took her and gave her some VERY simple rules: Don't try to run away, don't fight him unless she wants to lose, and do what he wants if she wants to be rewarded. Well, after breaking rule number one, it's clear she wants to be punished. Spanking her until she's sobbing and in pain whenever she sits down, not being allowed to leave the factory building without some Lycans or Soldata surrounding her at all times, edging her and forcing his cock down her throat until she's gagging and barely able to breathe. She's wearing those cuffs all the time aside from when she's bathing, and if she's good for a while he might consider letting her sleep without them.

He also stops being considerate of whether or not she wants sex whenever he's wanting to fuck. If she won't listen to him, he won't listen to her. She just has to take whatever he does, whether it's fingering her, pulling her onto his lap to grind on his cock, shoving her onto her knees to service him with her hands and tongue...if she wants to act like he's a big bad guy she needs to escape from, then he'll gladly fucking oblige.

like did you see a take on indis that is so horrible that it persuaded you to make that post (thank you for that tho, I can finally have an indis appreciation day), or did a take resurface on your dash that exhausted you so hard? same tho

It was more like I was reminded of a post I glimpsed back in the summer, which I opted not to read at the time, but it was brought more forcefully to my attention this go around...

And look I don't mean to say that Indis has to be a perfect person or even a good person, just that she should be allowed to be a person, you know? She's not Finwe's baby factory and the narrative doesn't treat her that way, so it's really frustrating how the fandom does. Like "because there is evidence you had sex that must be all you're good for." The term "breeder" may have been retired from the discourse here, but the attitudes haven't.

You could theoretically have a compellingly-written Indis who is a shitty person (although I don't think it's supported by canon), but most shitty-person-Indis takes I've seen are just in such bad faith, meant to exonerate Feanor for disliking her.

I've said it before, but first, I don't think anyone was "at fault" in the Miriel/Finwe/Indis situation, and second, if anyone was at fault, Indis is the least guilty. She just stepped into the existing shitshow. Also, many of the takes blaming Indis for the whole thing entirely strip Miriel of her agency in overlooking that Miriel chose this. Miriel was asked time and time again what she wanted and every time she said "I want to stay in Mandos, I never want to go back." Indis didn't fuck Miriel over. Indis took Miriel at her word. That Miriel might later come to regret that choice is not Indis' fault.

And we now return to the real Shitshow at the Fuck Factory.

Fun fact: Mike Johnson can only afford to lose two Republican votes without needing the help of Democrats to save his Speakership.

Since the Fuck Factory's Shitshow is so...well...shitty right now, the Democrats will actually probably save the Speaker if the vote to oust Johnson goes to the floor. Now, I fully understand everyone who argues that Mike Johnson is terrible and creepy in a way that you're probably uncomfortable with articulating out loud, but actually finding a way to govern is a pretty good hand to play in an election year if you're a member of...you know...the government. Also, Democrats recognize that we have a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate (barely), and it is imperative to make sure that there's not another three-week void without the House of Representatives functioning. I mean, "functioning" is not exactly an accurate description of what the 118th Congress's House of Representatives does, but even though it is a gross, ugly, cancerous appendage it is still a Constitutional necessity.

[danthropologie]

I wasn't around but why are people saying its a bad idea for daniel to go back to rbr? They're saying its bc he left bc he didn't want to be a 2nd driver?

this whole fucking narrative is straight up stupid if you ask me, so disclaimer: everything that follows will be coming from that perspective.

brief daniel at rbr synopsis: he was pulled up from toro rosso to join red bull in 2014. he was teammates with seb, who had just come off winning 4 world championships back to back (to back to back), and not only was competitive but BEAT seb in the wdc that year, 3rd to seb's 5th.

fast forward to 2016, they pull up max from toro rosso 5 races into the season. max is literally a child, 18 years old. that very first race max is with the team, daniel out-qualifies him (3rd to max's 4th), but ends up being put on the worse strategy, which leaves daniel in 4th place while max wins. it's obviously massive news because max is the youngest winner ever, it's his first race with the team, and is basically used to prove he's the second coming of christ on wheels. from there, there's just kind of a general feeling and consensus that max is the future of the team.

obviously daniel wants priority, feels like he's earned it, as any driver would, especially when he continues to beat and be neck-and-neck competitive with max over the next few seasons. so when rumors started happening about daniel leaving red bull, the overriding narrative—and the narrative that has lived on since—is that he was running from a fight. he wanted to be number one driver, he didn't want to be number two to max, and red bull wasn't willing to give him that, so he walked.

now what's NOT talked about is the fact that red bull was planning to move to honda engines the next year, and honda's previous foray into f1 had been an abysmal failure with mclaren (2015-2017, so literally had JUST happened too). there was also the fact that simon rennie, his engineer for years upon years, and a few other key people on his team were stepping back or moving to jobs at the factory. it's portrayed as if his move from red bull was because of this One Specific Thing, and yes, maybe that WAS the biggest factor idk, but it wasn't the only factor.

so looking at these rumors now, it seems like there's a tendency for people to boil it down to a very simple "he left because he didn't want to be 2nd driver, now he's coming back to be 3rd driver lmao" or act like because he left over priority disputes, he would nEVER (or should never) ~lower himself going back without guarantee of priority, basically ignoring everything that's happened since and how the situations are COMPLETELY different.

sure, on some level there's a bit of pride swallowing that would need to be done in order to go back to a team that he originally left in hopes of finding bigger and better things, but at the same time, these past few years have been rough. he was brilliant at renault, he had some of his best drives with them and showed he has what it takes to be a champion, but the team and the car were never going to surpass the glass ceiling of the midfield. and despite his win last year and the occasional flashes of brilliance, mclaren overall has been a shitshow, tho obviously not all from his own doing. red bull has really been the only place where the machinery and support they were giving him as a team came close to matching the level of talent and skill he was bringing to the track each week, and if he has a shot at having that back, who wouldn't take it after how awful the past few years have been for him.

and on top of that, there's also personal connections there too. he drove christian to his wedding for god's sake! he spent summer break in 2020 with max! they aren't just coworkers, they're people that genuinely care about him and want to see him succeed. at the end of the day, it's obviously still a sport and a business and depends entirely on the results he'd be able to bring them, but as it stands now, they seem to still see him for what he could (and probably should!) have been as a competitor, rather than just what he can bring them in terms of monetary value

#in general people have a looooot of shit to say about red bull and love to cast them in a specific villain-esque sort of light #but consider this: maybe they're not actually bad 🥰 #genuinely truly seriously i don't think they ever would have gotten rid of him if he hadn't been the one to leave first :( #anyways sorry this is so long but rip #i got shit to say! #dan #silly season22 #answered #anonymous #daniel ** **** ** *** **** challenge :/

dabi/hawks had the potential to absolutely fuck as a toxic situationship we were robbed so bad. the three 5 times they interact in canon is already such a shitshow (the gf line is so fucking funny tho, situationship was missed but that line got the spirit). if this wasn't a shonen with no-gay censorship they should have dialed the toxicity up and had them flirt weirdly and threateningly in between. the infiltrating the enemy by talking to that One guy is already a funny plot point, but then that guy is also insane, you manage to get him to vouch for you to his colleagues eventually, and then when he finds out you've been a spy all along after showing you the all their secret evil lairs and corpse factory he goes lmao yeah i know. set up is already crazy an offputting situationship that's confusing to everyone including the reader would have just made it better

And the fact their relationship was mainly shown to us in flashbacks Hawks thought was relevant to think about. But we know there was cut out scenes like the initial contact, planning to test the nomu together, wherever the two of them went after Dabi fetched Hawks from the liberation army basement. So many potential "and fade to black" tongue in cheek wink moments available

Also Shigaraki saying he was excited to meet whoever Dabi was going to find. And then Dabi never letting them meet despite letting Hawks fuck up their whole operation is really funny too like. Imagine at the Liberation League merge announcement Shigaraki is like ok I want to meet number two and Dabi is just like no <3
