Maybe if the President listened to brilliant war vets and patriots like @notalexanderward then we wouldn’t have a national security risk from leaks at the White House. Instead he’s more bothered about his sex life.  #CanYouHearMeBerkeley? #MoreCyberSecurityFunding

✖ - a repressed memory

2007, Afghanistan

He does not allow himself to think about the helplessness. Waking up in a hospital bed without the ability to move his right leg, thousands of miles from home. The doctors explaining the need for surgery if he wants to walk again. Talk of nerve damage and orchiectomy and yes sir, the pain will likely last the rest of your life. You’ll be removed from active service, Admiral. The goddamn Purple Heart won’t make up for his pride. William Bell isn’t weak, and so he never acknowledges a time when he was.

hc + love

Before Oliver, Vir had only been in love with two other people - James Duffy, who he dated from his freshman to his sophomore year at Yale, and Harper Fairchild, who he dated from his junior year of college into the summer. 

James was a cute little thing, a Pakistani-American who loved to try and argue with Vir about border disputes and ethnic histories while he just shook his head and went, ‘For the last time, I can’t fucking stand politics’. They broke up when James went abroad and Vir realized he was a little too comfortable in his absence, but they ended on fairly good terms overall.

Harper, however, was a bit more complicated. They never formally dated, although Vir does usually refer to her as his ex-girlfriend. If anything, they were a heated fling, both a little too obsessed with each other as they spent their days writing heartfelt poetry and their nights falling into bed together whenever they could. Vir was certain they were the stuff great romances were made of, that they’d be this passionately in love forever, that he saw a future in her — until she left. She stopped answering his calls suddenly one day, and when he went by her apartment to check on her, she was gone altogether. He hasn’t heard from her since, and quite frankly, he’s not sure what he would do if he did.

👫

Send a 👫 and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship.

1. He’s got a lot of respect for people that know what the fuck they’re doing in their work, so needless to say he holds Alexander Ward on a fairly high pedastal. He’s been consistent in his rhetoric that experience doesn’t necessarily equal competence, but in Alexander’s case, he’s willing to admit that years in the field has made him pretty damn good.

2. He knows that high-level government positions like Alexander’s aren’t allowed to have political opinions, but that doesn’t stop him from harassing Alexander about his political thought. “Alright,” he’s said before, “if you won’t tell me, I’ll just assume you’re Clifford the Big Red Commie. Long live Lenin.”

3. Vir - being the former Russian Literature major that he is - once bet Oliver that he couldn’t go a month of trying to read as much Tolstoy as Vir had to read in a week. During the month, Oliver asked Alex in passing if he’d ever read any Russian before, to which Alex shook his head with an apology.

4. Oliver has referenced waterboarding in front of Alex on more than one occasion, hoping he’ll slip and reveal if the US is really still doing it after the CIA issued that statement saying they could neither confirm or deny if they are. So far he’s gotten nothing.

Do you hear that Democrats? That’s what a real patriot sounds like - well done on your filibuster Senator @silassanford! #Democracy! #NoMoreBerkshit #FreeTheGuns

[admiralbell]

what if will learned that silas' son was gay?

Honestly, I’m not sure that Will would care all that much - at least he wouldn’t be bothered by it. He likes Henry as a rule, and while he’s probably not really a stellar ally and does the bare minimum by being like “hey, I don’t hate you”, he probably doesn’t outright care if people are gay.
