perusing through @samtrapani’s leo tag and Thinking. not only is vito quite honestly just a little naïve, but he’s easy for leo to control because leo can see right through him. leo can take one look at vito and know his deepest secrets, because he has the same skeletons in his closet.
leo can play 4d chess because one look at vito and anyone who’s played a game before can tell vito has PAWN. I WONT QUESTION YOU. written in bold on his forehead.
leo saw this scared, young, boy fighting through prison at anyone who looked too long at him, and knew he was in there for trusting the wrong people and not asking the right questions, and immediately he was like. i can use him.
& when vito goes out of his way to save leo’s life, just for leo to save his by getting rid of the only person who’s ever had more sway over vito than he did (joe)… well, that’s the business of being owned & useful, kid.

((All signs point to Kariom being a lot like Serban in his youth. Was he a stern kid? Yes. Grumpy? Yes. But he also had fun and was mischievous. He made pinwheels, he wanted to fly kites, he drew and colored in one of Flynn's gardening books (he drew constellations ofc but no doubt other things too) he ate so many cattails by the lake he almost choked to death, he ran around and got into trouble, he tried to make friends, and so on.
It's important to remember that he was a kid and he wasn't always so obsessively driven by his duty---and I mean driven to the point of where he, as an adult, considers all of that stuff as stupid, inconsequential, etc, and prefers not to think on it, driven to the point of self degradation (whether he acknowledges it or not and let's face it; he doesn't), etc, etc---such a severe reaction has to have a cause. Something changed him, something shifted his focus and it was definitely something huge. I imagine it's in part due to whatever happened to the Solomonari and his involvement on top of a variety of other things that built up over time until he could hold nothing else.))

If I can grind in a video game while listening to a livestream as a podcast because neither is stimulating enough on its own for me to have the attention span for, then I don't see why I can't grind while watching the church service online (during which I'm normally staring off into space half the time anyways because I'm bored), but no, that's too involved and distracting. Obviously.

Getting annoyed lmao
*warning I'm gonna be a bit mean about this bc holy shit what is happening???
I keep seeing posts about ppl scared of reblogging things....that's the literal purpose of Tumblr folks??? like what the fuck did you do on Twitter or any other fucking social media site? You can't be creating original content 24/7 I fucking know that for sure.
Fucking reblog things ppl... that's how you get followers and get noticed if that's your goal.
You can make so many side blogs if you want your main blog to be personal or not it literally doesn't matter.
But honestly, those who worry about the content you reblog or just worry how ppl view them or their blogs...should just get off the internet for a few months. Like detox or some shit bc honestly, if that's your worry then you are too plugged in and need to touch grass. Come back after that. Holy shit.
