[ID by @fagofgod: three versions of a drawing of anthy from revolutionary girl utena. she is wearing a pink and white jacket and a pair of frayed jeans. she is sitting on the floor outside, leaning against a tree, holding up a book next to her face. she is looking up to the side with wide eyes and raised eyebrows, lips parted. the book she is holding is gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir. there is a colourful charm hanging from the book, presumably acting as a bookmark.
the first version of the drawing shows it in full. the second version zooms in to show the frayed end of anthy's pants as well as the book she is holding. the third version zooms in to show the book and anthy's face. end ID.]
I headcanon Duncan has a lot of candles in his room because 1 he’s a pyromaniac and his friends (mostly dj) got him a bunch to soothe the fire starting urge without racking up arson charges and 2 they smell really fucking nice
“I think Tom has everything to lose [in divorcing Shiv.] It’s always hard, and a fascinating question: how much of Tom and Shiv is based in anything real? And in love? And how much of it is based purely on a sense of personal gain and … of jockeying? And this season I’m really proud of actually how we explore that. I always have quite a hand in the Tom/Shiv storyline in the writing. And there’s some stuff in later episodes as well that I just think answers that question for you quite a lot and I’m excited for people to see that. I think at this point I wonder if him tying up all these other lawyers may have some element of him just not wanting the divorce to proceed at this point. It may be a way of him sort of blocking further progress … even unconsciously [because] it’s hard to see how Tom comes out of a divorce with Shiv looking and feeling great, especially considering his new burgeoning relationship with Logan.” - Lucy Prebble, writer and executive producer, on HBO’s Succession Podcast
