#walter asks

Rosie questions part 3 (??) - After the "scene" at the restaurant does Tommy apologize? What was Rosie's first reunion like with her brothers and the Shelby's after the war? Did Walter fight in the war? (omg was he cavalry most wealthy men were, john would have a lot to say about that) Who is the FC for Walter? Does he attend Tommy's wedding with Rosie? How is Rosie with Charlie? Does Rosie have kids? How is Rosie's relationship w Grace (while she is alive ofc)

oo im ready!

yes, he does! well, he and rosie both do because they both let their emotions get the best of them so it’s a mutual thing.

rosie’s reunion with her brothers makes me tear up. she and polly would pray together every day to make sure their boys were safe ( rosie, polly, and ada often got together during the war because women gotta stick together yannoe ). when her brothers return, she has happy tears running down her cheeks and literally tackles each of the brothers with a big ass hug. gus is the only one who returns the same amount of excitement back because ray is extremely worn out and also now has a bad leg and benji is still very shaken up so he needs a moment before he can feel a little at ease. when the shelby boy returned, rosie tells polly that she’s glad they’re back in one piece. she didn’t really talk to the boys before the war until shortly after they all returned.

tbh, i haven’t thought about that??? was there a draft in england?? if so, then maybe he was in the cavalry??? i’ll have to do more research on that because me + any world war = ????. but the fc for walter is tom hiddleston bc imagine any other person who is as soft as him lol. he does attend tommy’s wedding with rosie as her plus one. they’re on very good terms still and she spends quite a bit of time with him as well since they’ve known each other for a long while at that point.

rosie adores charlie! she takes care of him a lot after grace dies so she spends a huge chunk of time with him. eventually, rosie will have a daughter with tommy :)))))). and rosie relationship with grace is very... rocky? like ofc she doesn’t like her because she’s lied to all of them, but if she makes tommy happy, then she’s gotta suck it up yannoe.

Does Walter know what the Shelby/Graham brothers do? How does he feel about it and do Walter's connections (because I imagine he knows people in high places) ever come in hand and Rosie is just like "no" because she doesn't want him near it? Do him and Rose remain friends/friendly? In season 2 when Tommy's feelings begin to grow how does he feel about Rosie and Walter together? (hope all my questions are ok)

your questions are more than okay!!!!

alright, so, he vaguely does. obviously, he knows they’re doing a lot of illegal activities because you’d have to be blind to not notice. he doesn’t really care too much, only if rosie’s actively involved in that part of the business which she wont be unless someone needs her common sense lol. but, he does offer suggestions to try and help them legitimize their activities so they don’t have to do the illegal stuff. rosie, however, wants walter nowhere near it or his wealthy connections because once he gets involved, then he’ll constantly have a target on his back and rosie wants him to be safe always.

after their split, they remain on very good terms. walter and rosie are so good together even as friends and i couldnt dare to keep them apart. i really love that even tho they both end up falling in love with other people and also getting married, they still remain super close. it makes me rlly soft.

oof okay he gets very jealous of rosie and walter. he even crashes one of their dates because he’s in big self-destruct mode ( as he usually does when he’s not thinking clearly ) and rosie is fuming. they throw comments at each other the whole night and it gets so bad to the point where they have to excuse themselves and go talk outside and having a yelling match, which rosie ends up winning bc homegirl is PISSED. like tommy knows walter and rosie are good together, but he’s very emo and doesnt really understand what his feelings are for rosie so he’s just a mess.

Why do Walter and Rosie break up?

they break up because no matter what, rosie has an undying love for tommy whether she admits it or not. walter, bless his heart, didn’t think it would be fair for them to pursue their relationship any further so they mutually broke it off. but dw, walter gets a happy ending bc my baby boy deserves someone special

who is walter lawrence? he sounds posh but how does he get on with the shelby and graham brothers?

walter, bless his precious soul, is a character i added in because i really love him like a lot and i find it nice for rosie to have other love interests besides tommy. he comes from an extremely wealthy family from london ( maybe? everything happens in london or birmingham on that show lol ). he is an absolute sweetheart, passionate, an a+ gentleman, and the softest of the soft. he rarely interacts with the shelbys because he’s more around rosie than anyone else from small heath. but he gets along alright with the graham boys. ray and gus are like “how did our tough as shit little sister manage to capture the attention of a filthy fucking rich man?” like they’re very shooketh. but anyways, rosie and walter are so cute and they make me swoon!
