"I was thinking about my wife... sorry, my ex-wife. I miss her. She's moved on, and I thought if I could have a fling, I might be able to move on too." "Can I ask you a question? Did the sex feel like you were cheating?" "It did. It felt like a betrayal."

Succession The Musical Hypothetical Casting

I’m doing this in one shot and off the top of my head, so I will be missing characters, I do also welcome suggestions.

Logan Roy: Patrick Page

Is this the obvious first choice? Yes. Is it the correct one? Also yes.

Kendall Roy: Lucas Steele

Kendall is just Anatole if he didn’t have a close relationship with his sister.

Roman Roy: Brandon Uranowitz

He played a nice neurotic freak in Falsettos, let's see him play an evil neurotic freak.

Shiv Roy: Eden Espinoza

I'll be honest, if I was genuinely casting a Succession musical as a real casting director, I would look for a more unknown performer to play Shiv, because I firmly believe that Shiv Roy should be an alto part, heavy in the lower range (like basically a tenor). Shiv's plot revolves around trying to push past her gender to be taken seriously, and I think having her being an alto who stays in her lower register would really highlight how hard she's trying to be taken seriously. That said, I would not at all be disappointed to have Eden Espinoza in the part. She's insanely talented, and I would love to see her interpretation of Shiv.

Connor Roy: Josh Groban

So there's a clip of The Opera from "Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812" where the ensemble sings "Pierre, the cuckold, sits at home", and then Pierre pops up saying "No, I am enjoying myself at home this evening" while giving a sad little thumbs up, while his wife is off banging another man? That's the energy I want for my Connor Roy.

Tom Wambsgans: Brian D'Arcy James

Is he maybe a little old for the part? Sure. But age onstage is fucky, and Brian D’Arcy James would absolutely kill it as the combination ass-kisser and ruthless bastard that is Tom Wambsgans. Also he gives Minnesota.

Greg Hirsch: George Salazar

I kinda don’t feel like I have to explain this one.

Gerri: Bernadette Peters

Icons playing icons.

Frank: Mandy Patinkin

Sunday In The Park With George reunion!

Willa Ferreyra: Samantha Pauly

I rewatched her All You Wanna Do again last night (and cried again) and when I thought about Willa, that popped into my head. (Not in the sense that I think Willa is a victim like Katherine Howard, she’s a consenting sex worker, more the fact that in the succession world, women, like Willa, are only valued for their sexuality.) Anyway, Sam Pauly also just kills every part she’s in so…

Stewy Hosseini: Tony Yazbek

He’s played Billy Flynn on Broadway, so he’s good at being a smarmy yet charming asshole (I say this with love, I love both Stewy and Billy Flynn)

Lukas Matsson: Aaron Tiveit

He’s hot but can also be scary.

Hard Cuts/ Impossible:

Edward Herrman as Karl

Would he be fun in the role? Yes. Is he dead, and therefore incapable of doing it? Also yes.

Daniel Radcliffe as Roman

Barrett Wilbert Weed as Shiv

Mandy Patinkin as Logan

Codeword

OC's mentioned: Samantha "Scarlet" Wright, Halia "Sigma" Connors (@mutantthedark)

Summary: Halia and Scarlet get captured by the enemy soldiers.

Warnings: Violence, gun use, fighting, a curse word used?

Halia and Scarlet were held captive, as they were beaten and bruised heavily from the attacks and stuns delivered by the enemy soldiers. The two soldiers were on a mission together and suddenly, things took an unexpected turn when they got captured.

One of the soldiers kneeled down and faced Scarlet, as she breathed heavily with her head cast down. "Looks like both Athena's would have to give us what we want."

"Don't tell them a thing, Sergeant!" Halia shouted as the soldiers pulled her hair, keeping her intact as she groaned in pain.

Scarlet didn't say anything, but faced the soldier with a glare. The soldier smirked and gripped her jaw tightly, making her face towards him. "You will tell us where the missiles are. Right?"

Scarlet eyed Halia, who was hoping that the Sergeant wouldn't reveal anything about the hidden missiles that they were looking for, but the Corporal was about to witness something unbelievable. Scarlet looked back at the soldier, softly nodding.

Halia widened her eyes, not able to process if the Sergeant really meant that. She struggled a bit but the soldier held her tight enough that she couldn't even move. The soldier smirked and got back on his feet. "Stand up."

Scarlet raised her hands and gently got up, her eyes going back to Halia, who held a shocked face. The soldier brought her towards Halia, and made her fall on her knees so they two could face each other in perspective.

"Any last words you would like to say to each, before you two die after giving the intel?" The soldier asked.

Scarlet nods, and looks back at Halia. "Corporal. I know this is a tricky situation.. but you don't need to worry about it."

"But why would you do that, Sergeant?" Halia protested.

"I had no choice! This is for you.. and for the team. I'm doing this for all of you." Scarlet panted while she spoke. "But, don't you worry, Halia. Because time is the essence."

Hearing Scarlet say that, it surprised the Corporal, that instead of making her worried, it made her smile. A smile that brought hope back in her eyes. She knew Scarlet would never do such a thing. Something was imminent, and Halia knew it.

Just then, the soldier groaned and kicked the Sergeant gently. "Come on, you had enough. Let's go."

Even after the soldier gave her the command, Scarlet didn't move and kept looking at the Corporal. Having his patience tested, the soldier growled and slapped her face with his feet, much to Halia's shock.

"Are you getting up or do I have to put a bullet in your head, you bitch?!" The soldier drew his glock out, aiming the gun towards her head. But the moment anything could be initiated, the soldier felt her snatching his glock in a second, as she aimed back towards the soldier, glaring at him with the predatory eyes. As the soldiers could show any reaction, Scarlet shot him in the body multiple times. Finding it a distraction, Halia grabbed the soldier by the arm too and pulled him down on the ground with force, as chaos ensued.

Scarlet saw a soldier drawing out his knife to stab her but she punched him strongly in the stomach, and snatched the knife from him and stabbed him through the neck, killing him as he bled to death. Other soldiers were trying to hold her back by firing bullets, that made Scarlet hide behind the crates of the factory they were in.

On the other hand, Halia drew her pocket knife and attacked a soldier by surprise, stabbing him through the neck and turning him around, slashing his chest and punching him down on the ground. She grabbed the soldier's rifle and started to fire bullets over the other enemy militia who pinned down Scarlet.

Scarlet saw a soldier passed out on the ground two crates ahead. She had to time her moves while Halia gave her cover. She ran towards the other crate before the bullets could pierce through her, as she almost reached herself to the dead body. Halia made sure that the Sergeant was safe and sound, shooting the soldiers as possible. Scarlet did one last attempt, rolling towards the dead body and grabbing the rifle, checking the reloads.

Halia realised the reloads finished, and there were no remaining. She was now pinned down, and she wasn't able to see the Sergeant anywhere. She tried to look for her but she wasn't even there. Halia closed her eyes, hoping for a miracle. But, while the soldiers were focused on firing at Halia, Scarlet got up on her legs, as she marched towards the remaining soldiers, holding the rifle in her hand. Her hair is disheveled, and face bruised, and before the soldiers could turn around and face her, she immediately shot the soldiers that were taking cover behind the crate, killing them off. Scarlet panted for air, as she tried to control her breathing. Halia peeked a little, seeing the Sergeant in composure.

Halia's eyes moved towards a soldier who was still alive, and he was slowly approaching towards the Sergeant. The Corporal tried to say something, but Scarlet doesn't even look back. She took out her pocket knife, glanced at it for a few seconds, as the soldier began to charge at her, and Scarlet immediately turned around, throwing the knife towards it's head, as he gurgled and let out a gutteral moan from the impact, killing him as he slammed on the ground.

Scarlet threw the rifle away, and marched towards Halia, helping her get up. "Sergeant, are you—"

I'm okay, Halia. Let's just get out of here. I don't want to stay a minute in this shithole, anymore."

Halia realised the Sergeant's voice was a little hoarse, as she felt a bit of worry for Scarlet. But, knowing they two were now safe and okay, they made their way out of the factory, waiting until help arrived.

one hour later:

[lily-s-world]

I finished Sex Education, and I loved the ending, but there are 3 characters arcs that I feel deeply appreciation for and that is the Groff’s. As someone that is the only one that goes to therapy in a family that is emotionally broken and loves to bury their issues, their growth was like a dream come true for me.

Starting with Maureen, who is presented as this submissive housewife; it must had been extremely challenging and terrifying for her to ask her husband for the divorce because that was the life she knew, but by doing so, her life improved completely. She was able to discover that life could be enjoyed in so many ways, and that not everything needed to revolve around her family, just because she was a mother.  She got herself on dates with nice guys, learned new things and went to amazing parties, and that lifted her confidence. And that new confidence was a key part on understanding that she couldn’t go back with her husband, unless he also fixed himself and the relationship with his son. Maureen really went “I do miss you and may want to get back but learn to be a father first”; and I love her for that.

Adam growth wasn’t linear, it took a lot of hits and heartbreak before he reached the self-love he required. I was never a fan of Eric and Adam, because I really despise the bully to lover’s arc; but I did was a fan of seeing Adam get out of his bully self and grow into a better person. Accepting his bisexuality was probably the first step for him to start analyzing himself outside of what his parents taught, that gave him more confidence in himself and made him realize that maybe school wasn’t for him. That he was good with animals and could get a job and a career out of that. Then his father comes and criticize that dream again and he start self-doubting so much to the point of thinking he was going to get fired; but he wasn’t, someone told him “you made a mistake, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t good at this.” That was probably the first time in his life someone had told him that and it was illuminating for him. It gave him the courage to confront his biggest bully, his father, and lay down all the harm he did and how much it affected him in his daily life. It takes a lot of bravery and self-confidence to do that.

Which takes me to my favorite character growth of all the series, Michael. Because when you think about it, all the growth Maureen and Adam did wouldn’t affect or care to Michael, if he wasn’t also working on himself. We are told that Michael was a bullied child, by his father and brother, which turn him in this cold and hard man that took things for granted and really didn’t care for how people felt. Maureen asking him for divorce took him out of nowhere, but it didn’t give him any ideas on improving himself. It was until he talked to Jean and saw how awful his brother was, that something clicked inside of him and made him realize he didn’t want to be like that anymore. And he tried to be better for Maureen, and she saw that but reminded him he also had a son. He also tried with Adam and failed a few times – when he yelled at him in the car, when he makes him feel that he only wanted to get back with his wife; but it were these failures and Adam standing up to him, what helped him finally understand which path to take. He needed to start removing from his life what made him miserable to be happy and love himself, and that was hard and scary, but he could do it. This time he listened, and that it such a key part on healing, he listened to the people he hurt and didn’t put the blame on them or justified himself – like so many parents do with the ‘I just wanted the best for you’. His final speech to Adam had me in tears because he realized from where all the pain and misery was coming from, and he now knew how to start working on that.

They aren’t completely healed by the end of the series, but they are way better than when they started. And it may still take them some time to be fully comfortable with each other, but healing isn’t linear and thar is so important to hear.

Meeting you cracked my heart open, and now it's forever changed. And because of that, I will carry a part of you with me wherever I go. I think what I'm trying to say is thanks for everything, dickhead.

Uberhood Pics (59) - Delarosa, Jacquet, Kim, Nova, O'Mackey, Ottomas, Peterson & Rutherford - Weir

Florence Delarosa's business is booming. On top of that she met someone she likes but who it is will remain a secret for now. 😊

Gilbert Jacquet had an outing with his friends downtown. 💙💚

Cynthia Kim is busy making important connections in Belladonna Cove's high society. She brought Nylissit Tricou home with her and then suddenly got hit by a lightning. 😳 (What's funny is that I saw Nylissit gossipping about it all over the place. Sometimes the game tells the story without me having to do anything. The sims behave as they should. 😅)

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Castor Nova and Chastity Gere seem to like each other. They got closer and now they are in love. None of the them wants to marry yet and I won't push them. At the moment they just enjoy spending time with each other.

A random pic of Patricia O'Mackey (née Wan) drinking coffee in her kitchen.

Jules O'Mackey and David Ottomas just graduated college and decided to move in together. They were a couple since their teens and I am just waiting for them to roll the want to get married. 😅

Samantha Ottomas had a little makeover and is ready to reconcile with her husband Peter. We'll see how that goes.. 🙄

Preston Peterson got an A+ 🎉

And last, but not least, Connor Weir and Cleo Shikibu got married and are expecting their first child.

This was funny in my head so..

Halia: Okay, Scarlet we need to be precise and get the job done as fast as — uhm, Scarlet?

Scarlet, lost in another world as "Cast List" plays in her head:

Halia:

Halia, pokes Scarlet: Scar—

Scarlet, suddenly comes back to reality and cries: NEED TO BE PRECISE AND GET THE JOB DONE AS FAST AS WE CAN, YES MA'AM!

Halia, looks at her with widened eyes: Woah.. t-that's nice, really good! *is rather more confused*

HAHAHAHHAHAAH THAT'S REALLY GOOD!! 🤣🤣🤣

Seems Scarlet spaced out by that. XD

I'm wheezing help--
