rebecca sanctuary is just so special to me like I’d bet anything she’s the girl who “prepares all her meals at the beginning of the week and brushes her teeth until all her gums come out” from her first boundary-test anecdote with incredibly exacting standards for herself and an incredibly amount of determination. so when hal genuinely hurts her feelings seeing that vulnerability shine through is so intense and affecting and you really believe in the relationship and how much it means to her. and the way she shifts between playing and not playing it’s just SUCH a good movie
it means so much to me that sanctuary is about someone willing to give up all his money, his power, & his life for an awkward bitch with an annoying ass voice

When I am in control of you, I am the person that I dreamed I would be when I was young. I’m funny, and I’m mean, and I am strong. And I never, never feel like that out there.
Genuinely funny how much that movie is just Succession fic with the serial numbers filed off. They exercised great restraint in only using the word, “succession,” once
Everyone has their own private life. We go about showcasing the lifestyle we created for everyone to see. The perfect son standing atop a mountain of family-given success. No spots on the record. It must be like putting yourself on display in a glass box, especially for someone with such high status. But when the sun goes down, and the lights are out, the dark hide’s our secrets. Nighttime…
