Re: Eddie realizing things because Richie calls him 'babe', this is one hundred percent accurate. When I was young and in love with my best friend, he once casually and platonically called me 'babe' on the phone to confirm movie watching plans and my soul ascended to another plane of existence. I said something incredibly stupid. (at this point, we've got a definite sibling vibe instead of anything romantic but at the time... I was a very reddiecore small-town queer)
omggg Anon, thanks for sharing <3 <3 <3 my hearttt!!! RE:
Imagine a no penny and the gang reunite anyway at the restaurant and Eddie isn't married and Reddie still bicker flirt and Stan announces loudly "I can't believe you two haven't gotten together yet. You're both so dumb"
literally biggest tomgreg proof is just shots Like This of them talking in profile. like so much of succession’s dialogue is based around this idea that what’s left unsaid is more important than whats at the surface, and this is indicated largely through the constant shifting of attention and posture and gaze away from the conversational partner. If you watch shiv or Kendall speak to those around them, for example, it’s super rare for them to spend very long looking directly at them or facing them head on. And even though Greg and Tom engage in the same sort of bravado-riddled nonsense speech as a way to be accepted in the family/workplace culture as outsiders (ex: “I’ve got a dick the size of a red sequoia and I fuck like a bullet train”), they’re always really listening to each other, and we see that in shots like this, where their gazes are fixed on the speaker and everything about their posture is designed to be open to the other (hands open and up, eye contact even when the other isn’t looking, chests squared, etc). Unlike other pairings in the show, they’re really conversing rather than just seeking a means to an end, a diversion from the waystar royco norm and startling openness that makes scenes that we wouldn’t bat an eye at anywhere else feel startlingly intimate when it’s the two of them, especially because they’re so often framed very carefully to show us this sort of naked clarity (as above, both almost fully in frame against relatively stark background) your honor i love matthew mcfayden and nicholas braun they Get It
PAIRING: Devil's Minion, Armandiel, Armand/Daniel however you call it
SUMMARY:
“Maybe you supernatural types could try knocking at the front door for once? You know, in case someone had their hand down their pants.”
“And where would the fun be in that?” The question was spoken aloud but it also hummed like a purr inside Dani’s head.
Imagine if Reddie got together as young adults and Richie is so goddamn happy and so excited that the boy of his dreams is with HIM that he always wants to blurt things out about it, as if he'll explode.
For instance the gang having lunch and Richie shouting "EDDIE AND I KISSED", and everyone is very surprised - but of course happy - and Eddie being downright embarrassed but not wanting to stop him because Richie looked purely happy to share (until it gets to the point where they eventually have sex and it takes every ounce to make sure Richie keeps his mouth shut.)
The lyrics from She Wants Revenge "Tear you Apart" sounds like the hottest Reddie fic okay
The thing is, Richie made fun of Eddie for having a fannypack and I just realized I do that to my best friends who also wear them... and I never got the connection.
(only difference is my friends are a gay couple lol)
I'd be really interested where the creators are going to go after that special, they're clearly going deeper into more serious issues with the gang, but I wouldn't be surprised if they would also just go back to "well forget that happened, we're back with Randy and farts" because they've opened up wounds and I'm hurting 🥲
Definitely need a reddie fic where Richie gets his wish granted where Eddie calls him daddy
