Jamie Bell & Richard Gadd (ft. Kate Mara) ↳ 2026 Gotham Awards Red Carpet

[preacherboyd]

What do you need?

[timecryptid]

A good dom/sub relationship could have cured them

[wulfhalls]

me: wow they really were in love here

richard gadd, jamie bell, everyone involved in the production and probably god too: they were in fact in love here

me: man can u believe they were licherally in love here......

[lazybakerart]

jamie and richard on niall and ruben: it was sexual.

me who knew that from minute one:

[asliceofoceanmist]

"(and it does veer into certainly for niall) a sort of sexual lust and for ruben it's sort of like something similar" yeah man we noticed

[36q]

is this too much?

[llendemain]

thinking about the fact that it looks like Ruben really didn’t want to do it. he acts like he HAS to do it, like there’s no other option for him. to me, he even looks apologetic. and you know what? it looks like Niall thinks that way too!! he doesn’t resist, not really. he tries to defend himself, but it looks like a natural reaction. he never really tries to stop what’s happening. it’s like this is an inevitable thing that they have to go through together. they have no choice! this scene looks so simple on the surface but it’s insanely complex. it’s fascinating!

scrolling through your half man posts, i realized the show is symbolically framed by ruben and niall’s wedding. there is the sequence of niall, with guests around him, walking all the way to ruben on the other side, then the iconic vow scene where they’re looking at each other, the scene with confetti falling on them both and of course a “consummation” scene. on some subliminal symbolical level, no doubt done on purpose, it’s THEIR wedding day

ikr!! additionally! things we never got to see niallalby do: kiss, have their first dance, say their vows, exchange rings, look happy lol just hashtag noticing

Unlike his attacks on Benji and Alby, Ruben’s final attack on Niall was personal, intimate, and sexual.

For all that we’ve been through, I still trust you more than anyone.

Ruben looked into Niall’s eyes chanting I love yous, his body engulfing the one person he’s cared for the most in his life. Draining the life from Niall one last time, this time in a way that cannot be undone. Jealousy wasn’t the catalyst this time, it was betrayal.

You love me, don’t you?

Even after everything they’ve done to each other, they still love one another the most. Niall finally said out loud what the audience has known all along.

It’s the only thing I’ve ever felt.

Not love for his new husband, his children, his mother, or his career. For Ruben. Even as he’s killing him on a dusty barn floor.

[sunlightbuck]

rubens hands would shake the first time he truly got with niall sorry that is my truth yes he’d be commanding and confident and sure of his wants but this is niall… my hands have known violence and the resistance of bone but with you they shake for the experience unknown …

[skulandcrossbones]

which weak-spirited little journo called the ending depraved and got our hopes up btw. like how coddled are youuuuuuu you had some of us expecting necrophilia in our murder suicide and instead we just got ambiguously sexual normal murder 😒

[rgaddssofttummy]

"To the happy couple - on their special day, at the start of a beautiful journey together; hand in hand, heart to heart, forever and ever. Amen."

The fact that Ruben said this at the wedding and it was not about Niall and Alby. 💔💔💔

happy pride to dead dove fanfic and richard gadd's dead dove show half man!

[wulfhalls]

me when I pick up on VIBES between my GAY brother and some fuck ass GUY who i immediately HATE for reasons we dont have to get into just now so I immediately have to shift into my COCK OUT power stance to establish DOMINANCE. just BECAUSE.

[voyage-of-the-porn-spreader]

the "I'm bi" to "I'm gay" journey is beautiful, one short exchange with Ruben where all he does is repeat Niall's own words back to him incredulously and several grand worth of bullshit conversion therapy vanishes like it was never there. just cracking open that matryoshka of denial one brow quirk at a time
