Good day here is an AMV of Mitski's Me and My Husband set to the Puppingtons from Moral Orel (Bloberta and Clay, the parents, divorce energy etc. etc.) but halfway through it changes perspective to be about Orel and his father and it's making me insane

the line about logan roy not being able to fit a whole woman in his head being said from his own daughter is so. something about daughters and their fathers something about daughters who are their father’s child something about daughters who are daddy’s little favorite daddy’s little girl but the second they start having opinions and the second they start talking back, the father holds their daughter out with open hostility and suspicion, something about how only years later will the father occasionally go, do you remember? do you remember when we used to have good days, when you used to come to me with all your wonders and your worries, do you remember when we were stuck together like glue, what happened to that and the daughter just has to give her father a rueful smile as though she hasn’t been wondering why her father built up that wall in the first place as though she hadn’t been wondering since when did her father only ever said good morning to her brothers as though she hadn’t been wondering since when did her father only ever ask her brothers to accompany him to work and something about shiv roy saying my father couldn’t fit a whole woman in his head and something about shiv roy still crying the most when she learned that her father was dead something about how shiv roy called her father the world and yet something about how shiv roy still asks her father’s closest male confidants if he was really that bad, was my father still an okay guy when they all know the truth, they all know he wasn’t a good person, but shiv roy still remembers playing outside her father’s office just to get him to come out and shiv roy still remembers her father telling her to remember, slant of light and ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh fathers and their daughters daughters and their fathers or whatever

you know actually im kinda glad my relationship with my father wasn't that great because everyone always praises him on how good of a teacher and peer he was and all the work he put into his school and how good of a human being he was
but he really wasn't that good of a father. and because i didn't care much for him being my father i can enjoy the compliments and feel for his friends and peers that remember him fondly and be proud of who he was as a professional and a person without resenting him for not being a good parent
i can say id rather he was a positive influence for the thousands of students he taught and a support and guide and inspiration for all his co-workers across his career than him being a good dad

more wolf hall fic rambles, let's say thomas survives all of that an is able to live with no titles or anything, but henry being henry bestows some privileges on him and invites him to court, though thomas tends to stay away. but he actually befriends and is close to Katherine howard because he sees her as a daughter. whenever they meet each other, they have long talks and he treats her the way a father treats a daughter. anyways, when she is arrested thomas wants to be her lawyer and it's one of the rare times after everything that he dabbles into politics.
I mean in most variations of this fic he loses the trial and she is executed anyway but they had a cute relationship before this. Her death is very hard for him to take.
