Based on your vibe, a you're a fan of my show, YOU. You're either obsessed with it or obsessed with me. I mean... Okay, I'll bite.

ooc: hi! this is a Joe Goldberg ask / roleplay blog !! and yes... you will see some Rhys Montrose (Joe's Rhys) in here :) blog is run by @will-is-silly !

please do keep any sexual-ish related asks to a similar level to what the show has. nothing too insane or wild, cause I don't know nor want to respond to anything of that kind !! I know the nature of Joe, obviously, and it's pretty expected with a character like him- but yeah, please nothing that's too crazy.

Hello, You…

My ask box is open, if you’d like to come and chat.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Is Kate really the one?

I... I believe she is. She's helped me the most out of everyone.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

what are your thoughts on book to film adaptations? any favorites?

I don't have any particular favorites, but they're amazing (when don't correctly). Unfortunately, a good movie or show adaptation can be rare.

Welcome to Rhys Montrose, a soon-to-be mayors', online diary. While personal, the public already know more than they should already, so it will be kept simple and short.

" A Good Man in a Cruel World " has already excelled sales-wise, so perhaps a second book is in order? Perhaps something more invasive. Maybe about the hardships following entering the race for candidacy, as not a lot is known regarding it.

As long as my secrets remain secrets, there's nothing to worry about.

Hello, you.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Something feels wrong here, I could've sworn you were dead.

[egotisticalcandidate]

I’m far from bloody dead, mate. You sure you’ve got the right bloke?

[eighttoeseightseconds]

I... Maybe I'm not sure.

Rhys...Rhys... Okay, fine, whatever.

"Soon-to-be mayor"? Ugh.

[egotisticalcandidate]

Where did that attitude come from? You seem awfully jealous with how quickly you turned that around.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Jealous? Of you?

Definitely not, especially in this lifetime.

Why would I be jealous of you?

[egotisticalcandidate]

For having the success story you never quite had, I reckon. It would be a fair enough reason to be jealous of me.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Success is not quite what I'm looking for.

But- Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Was Beck better than Candace?

Beck... was everything to me. No one could ever be like her.

Candace... Well, she had a lot going for her.

They both equally had some... issues, but I'd have to say Beck was better in every way possible.

[brundark100]

I want to hear Joe Goldberg’s thoughts on BookTok, he’d definitely have something to say.

(No hate on booktok, I myself am a reader girly)

[eighttoeseightseconds]

BookTok?

...

I... don't know how I feel about it. There is a lot going on yet nothing at the same time?

BookTok feels like my experience working at and managing Mooney's. Everyone's buying some book because the author is famous or that the book is mainstream.

What ever happened to getting books you want to read?

Anyway, I can handle the normal and civilised BookTok people. At least some people have morals.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

What will you tell Henry when he asks about his mother, Love?

That is... a very good question that I cannot answer.

What would I even say?

'Your mom. She was a... complicated person. I mean, she was great, except for the part where she occasionally murders people with her bare hands,' ??

I didn't think so.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

hows progress on the new bookstore?

The bookstore isn't doing too badly... at the moment. Still getting some stuff done, but it should be good soon.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

do you have any book recommendations? I'm in a slump and wanna bet into it again

I'm a little rusty with my book recommendations, but I'll give it a try.

As cliche as it sounds, read Desperate Characters by Paula Fox. It's worth it.

I'm also currently re-reading Crime and Punishment. Again, very cliche, but it is a classic!

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Did u like how you looked w/ ur beard?

I... liked it actually. I enjoyed getting less attention too.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Was working at Moonie's fun nd will u visit him now ur rich?

Working at Mooney's wasn't terrible, but people are assholes.

I wouldn't mind visiting Mooney, I just don't have the time right now.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Any games on your phone?

Wordle. That's it. Weird question, but okay.

[eighttoeseightseconds]

Still obsessed with a certain blond candidate?

Blonde? Oh, right.

Guinevere Beck.

I've moved on... or- as far from her as I'll ever be.

Or are we talking about Marienne? She's technically blonde, and she's just as dead as Beck.

Well, I have other people to worry about who coincidentally also have blonde hair. Those two aren't my problem right now.
