"Real classy Jake"

That's funny coming from the guy who

- Tripped Grett minutes before this

- Literally tackled Jake onto James and Ashley in the first challenge (which could have caused actual harm to all three of them)

- And the guy who pulled a gun to an at the time SIX YEAR OLD in season one

Yeah, real classy you are Tom, real role model for the kids at home

#look i love him but OH MY GOD #STOP BEING MAD AT JAKE FOR PLAYING THE GAME #disventure camp #disventure camp all stars #jake disventure camp #tom disventure camp #not art

Tom's line about Shiv being selfish and "find[ing] it very hard to think about me" is actually so telling because while it's absolutely true that she rarely takes his position into consideration, Tom never once thinks about what he can do to help Shiv unless it also benefits him.

Every single time he makes a move or sacrifice that might help her, it's always something that he thinks will give him a leg up. He volunteers to take the fall for cruises, not for Shiv, who is in no way implicated, or even for Waystar, but because he thinks it'll ingratiate him to Logan, and the second it seems like he might have to actually follow through on that, he immediately tries to get out of it and even throws Shiv under the bus. Meanwhile, for all that Shiv disregards his interests, there are a number of things she does that only help him, and she's the one who actually sacrifices something and undermines her position with Logan to beg him not to let Tom go to jail.

It just makes it so clear that no matter how much he might love her (and I think he does, in his own compromised way), for him their relationship was always built on the underlying assumption that it's her job to prop him up, but it's not his job to help her.

#i rewatched that ep a few days ago and this was just cooking in my brain for a bit #their relationship is so messy and interesting i want to watch them get a divorce on a loop forever #and like. the wildest thing is that Tom does occasionally do things that don't serve him to help someone else. but its always greg #which you might say is ultimately down to the power dynamics (shiv can do more for tom than he can for her and tom can do more for greg) #but there are still plenty of points where tom actually does have the power to help shiv and chooses not to #and I love how succession never really has a clear 'what this character is telling you is 100% the truth of the story' moments #anytime a character is making a statement like 'this is who you are/who i am' or 'this is what i really want/what you really want' there's #always some kernel of truth to it but the narrative they're spinning is almost never fully honest #you can't take any of it at face value and it's such a good way of showing how they're always on some level 'playing the game' #and like. at a time when so many stories are basically spoon-feeding their audiences it's so nice to have a story that trusts you to #sort through it all and see what's real and what's not and rewards you for putting that work in #succession #4x07 tailgate #succession season 4 #failmarriage #shiv roy #tomshiv #tom wambsgans #siobhan roy

the reason why scratch in aw2 is so different from scratch in awan is because zane snatched all of the personality and there just wasn't enough left to go around for others

#alan wake 2 #alan wake american nightmare #meme #mr scratch #tom zane #btw i have never played any alan wake games ever #i am shooting in the dark with these memes and see what sticks #this is my way of figuring out the plot #considering what i've heard of the plot so far this is as good of a method as any

Fear, faith, friendship: Inside F1’s most precious relationship

Tom Stallard, Daniel's race engineer at McLaren, speaks out about his collaboration with Daniel in BBC's article about the relationship between drivers and race engineers.

#'Daniel is the car ok?' #at that time that felt like the culmination of the whole mind game mclaren (or rather zak brown) had been playing with daniel #and you could see how that one moment sort of precipitated daniel's whole downfall and him totally losing confidence in the team #but i guess tom stallard hasn't been able to forget about that one moment too and #he knows how much damage that one comment did for him to still be bringing this up nearly 2 years later #so i guess i'll at least stop badmouthing him for the future 😌 #also important to include the quote on how their relationship is still amiable and him attributing it to Daniel's character #because people on the internet think Daniel is the devil incarnate #daniel ricciardo #text

I’d never seen this photo before today.

They changed a lot about the material from Twelve, some of which I didn’t take issue with. But this is one thing I wish they would have kept.

With all the delicate interweaving about trust—how important it is to Lucy Gray, how Sejanus trusts Coryo too, how he slowly betrays the both of them—this was an important moment. In the book, it leads into a longer scene of them with the Covey, which they cut, so it’s a different transition—they used it here to simultaneously illustrate A) the threat of the other Peacekeepers to their relationship, and B) the rhetorical power of the woods/lake/nature to alleviate those pressures. But with the book version, after they’ve kissed and sat together for several hours and are heading back, Coryo offers to carry Lucy Gray’s guitar for her. He has a moment of internal monologue where he wonders if she trusts him enough to touch it.

And she does, without skipping a beat.

#I don’t mind that they played up the lack of trust #lucy gray baird #has. it lends her more intelligence and emphasizes her trauma from the games #but it does change the dynamic of their relationship a bit #she could have hesitated and then let him. would’ve conveyed the same meaning. and even given #tom blyth #a moment to play paranoia at “why didn’t she agree immediately” #since they took far less time with their relationship in #district twelve #than the book does. which I understand. but still is why I almost wish they had gone the route of #mockingjay #I get it but still #coriolanus x lucy gray #coriolanus snow #tbosas meta #tbosas #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas spoilers

O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water! O reed by the living pool! Fair River-daughter! O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after! O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves’ laughter!’

So I've been really in love with the Goldberry design for the Magic the Gathering; Lord of the Rings Set and I wanted to draw her in my style.

tom blyth did a phenomenal job with portraying snow as manipulative narcissistic psychopath he is and you show you don't give a fck with one "he's so pretty, he's forgiven" and then your excuses "we like tom, not snow" so what exactly you forgive tom cause I don't remember him selling finnick and torturing peeta

#character and actor are not the same #i don't remember #you forgiving snow played by donald #but the moment you see young pretty boy #you forget what's evil what's good #coriolanus snow is supposed to be handsome and charming #and we got it in tbosas #but him being handsome doesn't change his personality #don't forget that the next time you decide to say #that he is innocent or any shit like that #he isn't #coriolanus snow #tom blyth #the hunger games #tbosas #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #donald sutherland

Hey, as you are the resident Tom expert: why do think Naomi and Stewy seem to pick up on the fact that logan is abusive or at least damaging, but Tom remains almost willfully oblivious / genuinely oblivious the whole show? Do you think he was playing dumb? Or is it out of his desire to *be* powerful, be wealthy, be like Logan? just really interested in your thoughts if you’re still up for analyzing that insane slimy man clown <3

it's been fully a month since i got this ask i was on a trip with my friends and then went into lemming lockdown. but i have been thinking about it and i do still have thoughts on succession i prommy

this is kind of a complicated knot to untangle - i'll say first off that the way logan treats kendall vs shiv is markedly different, and kendall and shiv respond very differently. naomi and stewy also come from wealthy backgrounds and have some amount of disillusionment with Wealth and Power as a result while tom is, obviously, fixated on social climbing and caught up in the allure of money being a superpower.

with stewy, the biggest thing is that he's been a part of kendall's life since they were kids. while cut script canonicity is always iffy wrt things like 'dinner for winners' etc he's known kendall for, what, 30+ years? the fact is he's been around long enough and closely enough to see a lot more of the roys than most people do - he's also not going to turn a blind eye and enable or excuse like members of the old guard. he doesn't work for logan, he's kendall's best friend. while this doesn't necessarily mean he has always kendall's best interests in mind or that he encourages him towards what we'd consider 'healthy' behaviors, he's had a front row seat to the Kendall Show for decades. he knows first-hand how damaging it is for kendall to remain in logan's proximity/under his control

naomi obviously picks up on How Bad It Is much more quickly, which i would say is a combination of her seeing a lot of herself in kendall, not only with regards to addiction but also wanting to get the money and get out from the family company and all its baggage. in season 2 kendall is also at his absolute lowest, completely under logan's thumb, and everyone's aware of this.

on the whole it's just much more immediately obvious that kendall's fucked and that logan plays a huge role in this. compared to shiv generally being understood as logan's 'favorite,' trying to distance herself from logan/royness at the beginning of the show, and presenting a Cool and Composed front to everyone while kendall walks around with his big brown doe eyes and injured baby bird swagger. neither of them are fully willing to acknowledge just how much damage logan has done, but shiv is much better at hiding the extent of it from other people than kendall is

which is not to say that tom doesn't have some serious cognitive dissonance/conflicts of interest going on, like him asking shiv at the beginning of austerlitz if it's cool to speak to logan 'in a bridge-building way' despite the fact logan accused shiv of knowing about kendall's coup and blew up at her as a result. tom's not totally, willfully blind of what's going on - he saw logan hit iverson at thanksgiving, he got boar on the floor'ed. he correctly assesses in vaulter that 'you saw what your dad did to kendall. there's gotta be the chance he'll do the same to you? get bored of you, once he's got you?' which is again not totally separate from his own self-interest. he needs (or 'needs') to be in logan's proximity and in his good graces in a way stewy or naomi don't, which means smoothing over the fact he's abusive and awful

but i also don't think tom would be able to justify sucking up to logan to himself if shiv didn't okay tom talking to logan in austerlitz, then take logan up on his offer in the summer palace/fixate on the idea of becoming ceo. in an objective sense it's still awful for him to do, of course, but logan has kind of always been between tom and shiv. from his perspective shiv's chosen logan over him before and hasn't stopped him from choosing logan over her in small ways. shiv is chronically unwilling/unable to admit when she's been hurt and tom is unwilling/unable to look past that and recognize when he does something terrible, especially when everyone else is doing the same terrible things

#mingbox #chalkboard #i guess tl;dr is i think tom definitely like. Knows but sees it as something that everyone's accepted as a fact of the world #or the necessary cost of the game being played
