I cannot relate to people who dislike female characters for “being manipulative.” She’s literally creative problem solving before your eyes. She’s literally just using her words. Maybe the other blorbos should be less pawn-like for her beautiful hands hmm

what she says: I’m fine

what she means: Okay the idea that we can just use Grace Burgess AKA Grace Fucking Shelby as some kind of on-going torture trope for Thomas is kind of ridiculous. I really love Tommy with my entire heart and soul but I am sick and tired of this whole “kill off our female lead and make it a plot twist” game. It’s not even a TWIST any more because I saw it happening a mile away. Grace Burgess was a god damn spy that pulled a fast one over THOMAS SHELBY aka mob boss of the peaky fucking blinders gang. Grace Burgess struggled in the streets and killed a man. Grace Burgess shot up some dudes in a pub to save Tommy’s life, then single handedly watched him beat the living shit post-PTSD out of them. And she prevailed, and she saw him and did not run away. Grace Burgess was an agent of the crown and held a gun to Polly Shelby’s face, only to sit down and settle things like a woman. She was an UNDERCOVER SPY. She fucking shot a man holding a gun to her head in the leg and crippled him with a gun she kept hidden in her handbag. Tommy Shelby brought Grace to his business meetings because he needed a touch of “class”. Grace Shelby looked Duchess Tatiana square in the eye and challenged her, like “My man will kiss that hand of yours but his lips have been on my pussy, not yours.” Grace Shelby has always known the consequences of loving Thomas Shelby. Don’t think for a second she is the naive housewife she has been portrayed as lately. Keep in mind Grace Shelby’s entire persona is about being underestimated. If it’s one thing we’ve learned, don’t underestimate her. Grace Shelby is not afraid of guns. Or fast women. Or violence. Or looking at Tommy Shelby the wrong way. Grace Shelby is surrounded by pretty things with a pretty lifestyle, and knows exactly what kind of money is being used to pay for everything. Grace Shelby wants a better life for her and her husband, but she’s the Queen and the show has been about watching her rise. She will cut you, slay you, and destroy you while maintaining the femininity that she reeks of. Grace Shelby is not a pawn to toss around for the benefit of the males around her– shoot her down & watch her rise like the Grace of God. Like she should. Like she will.

hi how's things? Are here any people writing fics and prompts?

hello, dear! There're a few fics on AO3, being written by @beginningmiddleand and @i-just-look-at-pictures. Check this and this out.

They're also people who write Tommy or Tommy x reader themed ones, but I'm afraid I'm not much use here. If anyone can help with that, please, jump aboard. These are prompts that were written a long time ago.

have you ever read a fanfic so good that you wanted to write a fanfic about that fanfic, but was too shy / too intimidated to ask for the author’s permission and too afraid that your writing wouldn’t be half as good as theirs and that it would be an insult to their work that was basically a literal masterpiece, so you just sat there fantasizing about their work and how beautiful it was and how you wished you could just eat it and how you wished canon could write your blorbos half as good as this writer did and how you just wanted to cry because you just loved that fic so much????

Fun fact: TSLIHSALHUT is the reason I started writing fics.

@i-just-look-at-pictures, you have carte blanche to write whatever you want in one of my fic universes

me, gleefully rewatching peaky blinders and seeing grace and tommy's first interaction: oh this woman is about to haunt the whole narrative

tommy is so girlcoded. female hysteria as a man. eldest daughter trauma. weird psychosexual relationship with father/father figures and parallels. manipulated for his appearance and sexuality. its a thought

[loveisalwaystheanswer]

this shouldn't be in the tags #this isn’t feminising him necessarily it’s about the themes#this is exactly why men don’t understand him the way a girl can#i do hate the male icon sigma alpha thing projected onto him because you’re missing the point entirely#STILL thinking about that deleted scene with the s/a parallel#and the things we know about his childhood adds to it#its so fascinating how so many people completely missed the point#not only seeing him as a good example of masculinity but as an example of masculinity at all when at the core his themes are so -#- traditionally feminine at the core. He is the ophelia the wife who lost a husband the girl interrupted#he is his mothers daughter.#im fucking. ah#peaky blinders is a show for girls and girl adjacents sorry not sorry#thinking about ‘everyone’s a whore’#its certainly an addition
