i know that jesse armstrong is more than capable of knowing when to end a series but the way it was announced that season 4 is going to be the last one kind of made me feel like the whole process behind it is a bit sketchy. they only revealed that s4 is the last one only a month before the premiere, even after posting teaser trailers that never even hinted at the season being the last, and even the cast got the news only during the table read for the final episode. the promotion of season 4 has been disappointing especially when compared to season three. while the actors are not the ones writing the show, most of them have been very clear that they could have seen the show go on for another season and their disappointment over the show ending has been clear as day. while an ambiguous ending will be a very fitting end to succession and i am not against it, i am definitely wondering if the decision to finish with season 4 was something that developed during the filming process instead of it being a clear guideline throughout the creative process of season 4.

i'll...i'll let this speak for itself.
in my experience, sometimes tea parties in fe:3h play out like this
and then sometimes they play out like this

[The negative reaction to "Beard After Hours"] echoes a common complaint about the show, that certain arcs are picked up and dropped, that the show meanders too much. To me, it felt like an example of what Ted Lasso dares do that most television doesn't, take precious time to do something weird and tonal (and hang a giant glowy moon in the sky).
This episode also established what I think is the best way to watch the show, treating it more like an album than an episode-by-episode drama. Themes flow in and flow out. We get a strange storyline and then never see it again. But it’s the ideas that the show is introducing, the way those ideas pair with each other, that make it an interesting show to watch.
Really enjoyed this analysis of the show and thought it hit the nail on the head regarding a lot of the criticism of this season.

i think i'll eventually add this as a disclaimer on my pinned under the read more with the other general quick disclaimers but i do not under any circumstances default my mina/ko as related to anyone elses portrayal of the mc. considering how much i put into my portrayal i have done the same to the mc, minat/o, as well in relation to her. my canonical min/ato to my min/ako is written by me on my sideblog, @foolshonen. that is the default in all cases, that's her twin brother. however i'm happy to plot & establish sibling dynamics w/ other MCs that use the same naming convention as i do. basically the aris/ato name. this means i will not be accepting plotting for sibling dynamics with those who use yuki ma/koto or shio/mi sa/kuya, as i will never change my min/ako's name. my portrayal of mina/ko is not & never will be known as kot/one.
this isn't a response to anyone( considering the influx of mcs our widdle rpc is getting & the names of varying nature ), it's just been something that has bothering me for a while. mostly because i've gotten tons of anons before refusing to call my portrayal by her actual name. so i'm basically putting my foot down.
ultimately a sibling dynamic shouldn't be the standard for those approaching with MCs to plot with me, as that is a fanon concept vs a/tlus' who has canonically said that the MC & FeMC are the same person. && while i sub to the fanon bc i love twins & i love the idea of the MCs being twins, it's also never going to bother me seeing them as the same or two unrelated people/person(s). i AM happy to plot about this dynamic with people, as i do love to have sibling interactions & im capable of workin to build a combined world with my m/inako & someone elses min/ato, but i have plenty of verses to accommodate interactions & if things between my mi/nako are not plotting compatible but it's still chill, i do have my multi sideblog where i rp other characters within the series at @sociallinked so this isn't a fancy way to say no to folks about writing with me. basically again me just finally addressing something that's been bothering me since last year.
ok hi ilu go hydrate.

this also means that my sideblog @deemacs will no longer be active bc anything that would've gone on here will now be on main
also this itty bitty change will be accompanied by tiny little changes in my (v faithful) icon and header (these aren't actually related, it's just good timing honestly)
