actually, it was my sister

This is a Boardwalk Empire blog. I make gifs and occasionally write sad and/or sexy fic about Harrows and Darmodys. I shamelessly ship some truly questionable things and will fight you if you insult Gillian Darmody. Gif requests always welcome! EDITS | FIC | TAGS

Anyone who loves and misses Richard Harrow should watch Barry on HBO bc it’s the modern Richard-takes-an-acting-class AU I never knew I needed.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

There’s nothing wrong, Baby. There’s nothing wrong with any of it.

Approximately 1 in 12 men in the U.S. (8.0%) have experienced sexual violence other than rape by an intimate partner in his lifetime. This includes being made to penetrate an intimate partner (2.2%), sexual coercion (4.2%), unwanted sexual contact (2.6%), and non-contact unwanted sexual experiences (2.7%). Further, more than 1 in 4 men (28.5%) in the U.S. HAVE experienced rape and/or stalking by an intimate partner.

Frequent headaches, chronic pain, difficulty sleeping, and poor physical and/or mental health are roughly twice as likely among men with a history of these forms of violence. (Nat'l Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Div of Violence Prevention, Atlanta GA, 2010)

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing abuse, please call 1-800-799-7233

Yayyy! In case you missed it, I previously covered Stephanie St. Clair here. 

It’s worth a read if for no other reason than to see her amazing newspaper ads.

Boardwalk Empire's Jack Huston joins Martin Scorsese's The Irishman

According to Deadline, Jack Huston has joined the cast of Martin Scorsese’s new Netflix mob movie The Irishman. That makes this a Boardwalk Empire reunion of sorts, as Huston played Richard Harrow on that series and Scorsese was one of its executive producers, but The Irishman is also just a big excuse for everybody with mob movie connections to hang out and make another mob movie together. In addition to Huston, the film will feature Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale, and Ray Romano—though at least one of those guys might just be Italian, and not necessarily a veteran of mob movies.

Speaking of punching nazis, in 1937 a judge asked Jewish gangster Meyer Lansky to rough up meetings of the German-American Bund, a Nazi-affiliated group. Lansky wouldn’t accept the money offered, and turned down help from Lucky Luciano, saying it had to be a Jewish thing. Here’s his recollection of the events:

“We got there that evening and found several hundred people dressed in brown shirts. The stage was decorated with a swastika and pictures of Hitler. The speaker started ranting. There were only about fifteen of us, but we went into action.”

“We attacked them in the hall and threw some of them out the windows. There were fistfights all over the place. Most of the Nazis panicked and ran out. We chased them and beat them up, and some of them were out of action for months. Yes, it was violence. We wanted to teach them a lesson. We wanted to show them that Jews would not always sit back and accept insults.”

… “The Nazi scumbags were meeting one night on the second floor. Nat Arno and I went upstairs and threw stink bombs into the room where the creeps were. As they came out of the room, running from the horrible odor of the stink bombs and running down the steps to go into the street to escape, our boys were waiting with bats and iron bars. It was like running a gauntlet. Our boys were lined up on both sides and we started hitting, aiming for their heads or any other part of their bodies, with our bats and irons. The Nazis were screaming blue murder. This was one of the most happy moments of my life.”

Giffing the Defenders would be so much easier if they hadn’t hired Boardwalk Empire’s lighting crew for half their shots…

’90s It Girl Gretchen Mol still misses her Boardwalk Empire character

Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.The actor: Gretchen Mol had a quicker ascent to fame than most. Coming into acting from a brief but successful modeling car

What a glorious surprise for a Monday morning! I still miss Gillian too, Gretchen.
