Ok so we know you love Benny (rightfully so, I mean look at the man) but do you have any thoughts on the other Chairmen? Swank and Tommy specifically?

I have so many thoughts on the Vegas families but even more on the Chairmen just because of how unique their position is.

Like to start off, I have mentioned and still fully believe the Chairmen are the most paranoid and distrusting of all of the Vegas families. You can get sucked into many personal dramas and plights when it comes to the other Vegas Families; Quest-lines that get you super involved with their inner workings and pasts, ergo, quest-lines like Beyond the Beef and How Little We Know. Other than the very little side quest we get from Tommy, where you don’t even out in a good word for the Aces Theater for the talent recruits, your very boxed out with the Chairmen.

While the other families are more curious and intrigued by the NCR and Legion tensions rising, House being killed and other things, the Chairmen are always paranoid, concerned and negative. They mention wanting to leave like in the old days but can’t drop the act. They don’t mention anything that isn’t in a way that relates back to them and it tells how little they wish to or do interact with those outside the family. Swank mentions how he doesn’t trust the other families and the sentiments are shared with Tommy who discourages you from seeing the other sights. They are probably not purposely isolating themselves but they keep to their own. I only think this is extrapolated by House favoring Benny as a successor and possibly more restrictions on them. They were the first family and likely the prototype of whatever is detailed in their contracts. House was not as lenient as he is now, taking Swank referring to House’s rules into account.

Specifically about Tommy and Swank is interesting. Tommy feels like he’s older to me, not like more mature but he’s been around to see how far the Boot-Riders changed into the Chairmen. He’s not like an old guy either but older than Swank and Benny. I like to think he’s a middle ground to Swank and Benny, where Benny is the idealist, Swank is the nihilist and he’s there realist. You gotta real with people when you work in entertainment. He has a keen eye and can tell when things aren’t right but doesn’t jump out of his lane, not without provocation that is. In relation to Benny, I think Tommy’s like a snide older brother type guy. He rips on Benny cause the guy is so obsessed with not being seen as a tribal anymore but Tommy of all people can see when someone is playing too much into a bit. Benny keeps him close cause he keeps him real.

Swank is described in universe by House as being dependable but unimaginative. I don’t think that’s fully the case but he isn’t the person to push things in my eyes either. He has complaints but he does what he’s asked of and is loyal. More of a “Are you sure” Man than a “Yes” Man. I don’t think he sees the best in the people around him but prefers to see them as static. I take this with how hard it is to convince him that Benny is a traitor and how he seems shocked you are so ready to kill him. Things run a certain why and it’s why he likes that. It’s why he’s so good a managing The Tops. He wants things to run smooth and easy and everyone to be having a time. He’s the type to struggle with a shift in change at first but then forget why when the new song and dance start to come naturally. He plays the part just like Benny but also reminds him of what they came from. He’s his most trusted advisor and friend keeps him in focus.

This is all personal opinion and just a quick run down of it. But I hope I answered at least some of what you asked:p

One of the most Iconic moment in sport history.

Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr on June 18th 1963 in London survived a fourth round Knocked down against Britain's Henry Cooper on the way to 19 successive victories and at age of 22 years earned a shot at World Heavyweight boxing title held by Sonny Liston.

On the night of February 25th 1964 in Miami Beach Florida USA

Young and energetic Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr stunned the World flattered, shattered and battered Sonny Liston intimidating credential.

September 14th 1964 Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr announced that he had been converted to the Black Muslim Faith hence forth be known as Muhammad Ali and same day he was stripped of his WBA Heavy Weight boxing title because he signed return bout with Sonny Liston instead of meeting Ernie Terrell No 1 contender for WBA Heavyweight boxing title.

The Vacant WBA Heavyweight boxing title was won by Ernie Terrell that defeated Eddie Machen in Chicago in the of March 5th 1965.

Muhammad Ali defended his World Heavyweight boxing title first time against former World Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston the famous Championship fight took place at Lewiston Maine USA, May 25th 1965.

An extra -ordinary and dramatic boxing match defending Champion Muhammad Ali in early first round successfully delivered three solid hard punches but boxing fans at ringside did not see the third blow.

The combined speed and accuracy of the blow generated enough power to lifted Sonny Liston left foot which most of his weight was placed down fell to the canvas.

The boxing fans that came for the boxing show was busy at gate to bought the tickets but surprised announcement reached the gate the Championship fight is over.

Muhammad Ali after little more than a minute of the first round demanded that "Ugly Bear " Liston to climbed off the canvas.

Cried fake fake roused from Crowd.

After the epic Championship fight defending Champion Muhammad Ali christened his amazing Knockout blow as secret of "Anchor Punch" so fast, can't see it.

Ali claimed he was taught by Stepin Fetchit his how to delivered anchor punch and Stepin Fetchit learned it from boxing legend Jack Johnson the first Black fighter to ever captured coveted World Heavyweight boxing title on December 26th 1908 in Australia.

After the Championship former World Heavyweight boxing Champion Sonny Liston Commented" I got a fast shuttle".

Muhammad Ali Commented" I told you I had a big surprise in store for the fight, Sonny Liston went down in a minute sooner than expected, if I said wouldn't Knockout Sonny Liston in 1 minute 49 second of the first round that would hurt the gate ".

The smallest Crowd in modern Heavyweight Championship fight in history of boxing was 2,434 spectators that night witnessed first round Knocked out of Sonny Liston.

Muhammad Ali provided a truly unforgettable memorable night in history of boxing.

Muhammad Ali koed Sonny Liston and created his Iconic photo.

Sonny Liston was meanest, explosive, stronger and baddest Heavyweight Champion ever.

Having 15 inch diameter wide fist stopped prime Floyd Patterson consecutively in the first round in an Heavyweight Championship fight.

Sonny Liston fought in the 60s Era which was the best golden age in history of boxing.

Most feared Sonny Liston was he truly took a dive or Muhammad Ali phantom punch really stopped Sonny Liston in the first round?

making lunches for the next day in advance should qualify as a kind of test for heaven. i have demonstrated foresight (made plans), discipline (actually spent time making extra) and restraint (didn't eat all the delicious food)

[ukrainian-psycho]

like im not saying fight club is an allegory to being trans or whatever. im just saying that it resonates with my personal experience. like first tyler inserts bits of himself you barely notice, sticking fragments of himself into your daily life. then, I didn’t lose an apartment but i did lose some important things and got through some shit this summer that made me realize i can die any moment. it was my breaking point. Then, a guy appears in my apartment. He’s cooler and more confident than the girl living there could ever be. He doesn't give shit. Like maybe some people get there gradually but on god I felt such a disassociation, I felt like maybe a sibling, some guy living in an place of this woman who’s place im house sitting with all her clothes and decor and stuff that I don’t get but whatever. I felt like a guest. And then I had to stop lying to myself. I am that guy. This guy has been me the whole time. She's gone.

At least in the movie, Tyler says “You have to consider the possibility that god doesn’t like you, he never wanted you, there’s a possibility he hates you”. I haven’t called my family in a long time. I came out to my mom and it went bad. I am coming down with the thought that I will never be wanted by my parents again. “Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?” and yeah my father may never see me as his son no matter what. And it burns and it burns like acid through you. But once you accept the pain it’s easier to get over it. I just don’t care anymore. I live for myself or this guy inside me will kill me. There are other lessons from the movie, I am especially interested how diametrically opposed it is to American psycho in terms of male masculinity under capitalism but whatever.

Anyway the movie is about gay sex.

It is endlessly funny to me that Gwen lives her life like a modern AU Jaime and Nik lives his life like a modern AU Brienne.

[moving-to-dreamwinged]

every six months since i was fifteen i will feel the inexplicable need to rewatch my favorite movie of all time (fight club). it's like a compulsion and my mind will legitimately not rest and i will be unsettled, thinking fight club thoughts for days on end until i find a decently virus-free site to pirate that goddamn movie on. i can always feel it creeping up and think Oh Its Fight Club Time Of Year Again and i try to ignore it but i just cant. i get this phase where i feel so lost and scared in life but then i watch fight club and im factory reset and normal again. self fulfilling prophecy . my body craves fight club in the same way that it craves water I Love Fight Club

i think when cpurpled witnessed the wars and sever infighting he had a small realization of “oh right. not everyone is expertly trained in combat and the art of killing” as he watched ctommy fumble with a bow and cwilbur grip his sword wrong 90% of the time. but instead of being angsty about it and lamenting on what he lost having been raised as a killer instead of as a child he just went “fucking cringefail losers” and moved on

OH also i like how mig's broody tantrum hole is very dimly lit with mostly soft ambient lighting in the trailer... vv nice attention to detail if it Is meant to show off that he spends a lot of time there, given his Special Special Photosensitive Spider Eyes in the comics
