The one bit in Opening Doors when Mary and Frank are talking on the phone and then Charley finishes his song and Frank hangs up her is making me FEEL THINGS. Because like- on one hand it shows how unstoppable Charley and Frank were as a writing team, and just how together they were…

But at the same time it shows that Mary was always put second by Frank. Especially in the way that Lindsay Mendez says “Right” when Frank leaves on the new recording. She sounds so dejected. But more than dejected, she sounds like she expected this. Like this happens all the time, Frank leaving Mary so he can go work the songs with Charley. Especially because they’re the artistic duo and Mary does her own thing. And it’s really just so sad because Mary’s the one who held out, and who kept trying to patch up the friendship, and she never managed to date Frank like Beth or Gussie did, and she didn’t even get to be above Charley, and she probably felt like Frank put her last but she always loved him anyway.

And when you think about how the friendships end, it’s even worse. Because when Frank and Charley stop being friends, it’s mutual. Charley acts out, and then Frank acts out in return. It’s messy and it’s angry but it’s both of them. And then when Mary cracks, and gives up Frank, she causes a scene. But Frank doesn’t cause a scene back. He just lets her go. No ‘you’re dead to me’ speech, no yelling, nothing. Just letting her leave, drunk and alone. She couldn’t even get Frank to put her first when their own friendship ended. I don’t know if this is how it really is, or how Frank feels, or anything, but I think that Mary definitely feels this way, and has felt this way, ever since she stumbled onto the rooftop and Frank and Charley were already there. A duo turned into a trio, turned into a duo that was really just one. And one. And one.

Gussie is so tragic because you know that she was forced and forced and forced to fit this image of who’s allowed to be famous and she chiseled herself away to fix that, and instead of pausing and wondering if this what she really wanted, she told herself that it was, and in fact it was what EVERYONE wanted. and so then she started pushing Frank to join her, pushing Frank to start chiseling himself away too, and when he wouldn’t chisel she picked up the hammer and chisel and did it herself because that’s what everyone wants, right?

And it almost reminds me of the damn “don’t be a fool, Andrea, everyone wants this” line from Devil Wears Prada of all things???

But I am just having so many Gussie thoughts right now, which is vaguely crazy because normally my only Gussie thought is “AHHHHHH”. But really she is Frank, or rather Frank is her, and then she guides Frank to follow in her footsteps, and not in a way of ‘it’s all Gussie’s fault that sweet lil Frank made the choices he did’ but more in a way that she showed him the way of chiseling parts off, and told him that that was he wanted, like she told HERSELF that that was what SHE wanted and how Joe Josephson probably told her that that was what she wanted and- *explodes*

The bit in That Frank where Frank uses starts singing a bit of Our Time but about his new life, his life without Charley and really without Mary, makes me so so so angry. But also it makes me extra angry because if its your first time listening to it, you don’t know how angry it’s supposed to make you, but you can also very clearly tell that that’s not Supposed To Be in the song, like it’s very clearly an aside, and it’s an aside that shouldn’t exist without Mary and Charley but Frank is forcing it to work with just him and GAH

I generally view Frank as a tragic character more than someone I get upset at, but by jove does That Frank TEST ME

The blatant and constant exclusion of Henrietta Wilson not only as a queer character but as a main character in articles following up on Buck’s coming out is disgusting. She has been a proud lesbian since the very first episode, serving as authentic rep on the show. It’s striking that the media’s interest seems to have peaked only with the revelation of a masculine, white character as LGBTQA+ (who they consistently mislabel as gay instead of bisexual, going against the actor’s own words and the network’s public statements). It is telling, but alas, not utterly surprising, considering sometimes they don’t even bother to learn Aisha’s name. It is a disappointing act of erasure that contradicts the show’s message of inclusivity and undermines the very essence of its commitment to representing a wide spectrum of experiences.

Micheal Emerson is so relatable, I too would let four super hot punks peer pressure me into throwing myself off a bridge

If I had a nickel for every time Kiefer Sutherland played a blond, charismatic, leader of a group of super strong and athletic fighters who were more like brothers than anything else, who then welcomed a new, significantly younger, brunet member which caused things to go hella off the rails, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!
