may one day produce a happy man The thing about Robby is; she starts a lot of thoughts like this, unable to complete them. It's not that she's trying to describe him, even less trying to excuse him, but rather to contain him. The thing about Robby is, she doesn't know. She's trying to figure it out.
BERTIE CARVEL in Baghdad Central 1.04 (2020)
this seems relevant to your interests /nikolaj-costerwaldau/815718870958669824/bertie-carvel-in-baghdad-central-104-2020
oh HELLO! anon........you could not be more correct: this IS incredibly relevant to my interests; thank you!!!!!
😈 and 🤸♀️ for the creative person ask game!
😈 How do you beat the urge to procrastinate? What’s your worst time-sink? Oh man, I don't know if I actually do beat the urge!!! I've found using something like Pacemaker makes me accountable and knowing I have a word count goal to hit for the day really helps get me going. I also feel like sometimes just simply thinking, if I don't write this, then it won't exist, gets me to sit down and start writing?
My worst time-sink––I've gotten into this bad habit where in the evening before I sit down to write (or, sadly, lately, work), I'll lie down on the floor and do some stretches and I've made it a game where I can't get up until I think of something worth writing down so sometimes I'll just stay on the floor for ages, wasting a lot of time. Also, just. The internet. Twitter, Instagram, I love a doom scroll and just a scroll scroll. And moving commas around. Not writing anything, just moving commas. And adjectives. And picking at a single sentence and not really achieving anything as a result lmao that's another big time-sink for me too!
🤸 Are there things you allow yourself to do even though you know they’re technically procrastination or unproductive, because you just don’t always feel like being creative? I think my lying on the floor definitely counts for this! I also looooove a moodboard, I'll waste so much time scrolling pinterest or whatever and make my little inspiring moodboards, which technically are just me wasting time and not writing, but idk, sometimes little mental connections form while I look at Images and that's gotta count for something!
for the ask game: 🐣+🎸
🐣 Tell me about your earliest creative works or earliest memories of being creative. Pretty much my entire life I have been writing, haha. Awhile ago, my mom found one of my old notebooks from when I was idk eight? Younger? And it was filled with essentially Little Women fanfiction and me writing about my life as if my sisters and I were those little women lmao. I really can't remember a time when I didn't have a story running parallel track in my head to my real life or something I was plotting and working on.
🎸 Is there a certain piece of music or musician whose work always puts you into a creative mood? A great question! I don't think it's necessarily one particular artist, but I do get in these obsessive loops where I listen to the same song over and over and it really makes me want to write. (Lately, it's, of all things, Charli xcx's "Chains of Love" from Wuthering Heights.) I also make playlists for whatever I'm working on, usually trying to match the vibe I envision, or sometimes it's just music I'm really into at the time. Actually, now that I think more about it "Song for Bob" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis from The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is always a go-to for me to listen to while writing.

🦾 What does your dream daily creative routine look like? In a dream world, I think I'd like to order the Ursula Le Guin special (albeit, with a couple hour delay; try as I might, I am not a morning person) while positioned somewhere on the water:
💪 What does your real daily creative routine look like? Morning, afternoon, or night? Despite not being a morning person, I do love to write in the mornings. My brain feels freshest then, and at its most free, and I find I'm able to do the "hard" work of writing (plot, problem solving, etc.) best in the morning. I also love writing in the evenings, which is usually when, despite the state of my brain, I actually am at my most free (i..e, alone). I will say though, the past couple years I feel like I've trained myself to write whenever I have the time. Sometimes that's when I first wake up and I'm jotting down deranged notes in my Notes app, other times it's that I have an hour gap at two, might as well write, or I'm about to fall asleep and whoops, genius (or demented) idea: better write some of it quickly. The only real routine part for me, I guess, is making sure I write something every day and keep with that discipline.
😤 Best remedies for when you feel stuck on a piece? Physical exertion!!!!! I can't tell you how many times I've managed to get moving again after being stuck by literally physically moving? Sometimes it's going for a hard run, other times just a walk, or stretching; sometimes it's the shower after and the pieces start to fit together and I know what I need to do. But just walking away from the piece is sometimes exactly what I need. When that doesn't work, I read other people's work, both as a reader and a struggling writer and take note of how they do things (transitions, action, pacing, prose, whatever my current hold-up is).
📚 Do you have a favorite book, art style, comic, movie, tv series, or other piece of media that serves as an inspiration to you? Yes! For a very long time, it was Joan Didion's Play It As It Lays (I still have a very dog-eared paperback sitting on the shelf on my desk in easy reach), which I would dip into and read a few chapters of, especially the first chapters, to remind myself of how voice and rhythm can be executed. Lately, it's been Hilary Mantel I revisit when I need a pick me up or to feel that jolt of inspiration. Sometimes it's Wolf Hall and sometimes it's A Place of Greater Safety; both remind me of how great prose reads. I also feel like Lucy Prebble's work has been a huge inspiration for me, both her writing for Succession but also I Hate Suzie and her various plays. The way she writes women, and how she writes relationships between people, always lights my brain up.
cathedrals anon!
i completely understand dude believe me haha. really the only reason that i've kept up with the show week-to-week is because i've been letting essays rot in the corner...don't recommend btw lol. i also don't blame you for not being entirely interested in the season. me and a couple of my colleagues came to a consensus that s2 just isn't as good as s1, though it still has a lot of good stuff in there imo. s1 was really just lightning in a bottle wasn't it? hopefully they can turn it around next season perhaps?
and if anything else, we always have fanfic! you always knows that i'm waiting for your next masterpiece!
🤍🤍✨ you are too kind!!!!
but that really is the truth, isn't it? I used those exact words "lightning in a bottle" with a friend too about s1 versus s2. it's just such a shame because it's such a talented ensemble and I think they set a lot of things up that I would've liked to.......actually see play out? haha. I also think Robby and his mental health struggles would be something interesting to see play out either in the background or in combination with actually exciting forward momentum and drama, but as the centerpiece of the show? sorry, I didn't sign up for that lol and when a show starts being a chore, I've more or less adopted the "hit da bricks" attitude (tho fic-writing might just be the thing to get me watching again........someone's gotta give McKay something to do lmao)

LOVE STORY — 1.06 “The Wedding”
Bertie Carvel in an interview. ( x )
catherdrals anon! (they really should make a way to chain anon asks lmao)
never not getting over that scene actually because like, there’s so much going on. robby’s been at his arguable worst — lashing out, projecting, self-loathing, highly avoidant (but that’s nothing new lbr) — and it’s taking it’s toll. and despite all of that, and despite getting reprimanded by him just an hour before, she’s willing to call him out and tell him that yeah, he’s got a weird vibe going on. yet she’s so kind and gentle about it, sharing a little bit of herself to get him to open up, and it might seem to work…only for him to brush it off at the last moment. because that’s terrifying to him. while dana called him out on his shit, it’s cassie who’s able to truly see it for what it is. not even duke or santos got that far! you could argue that abbot gets close, but he’s blinded by his friendship with robby. he needs to couch it in friendly language because the other way doesn’t seem like a possibility to him. but to cassie — an older woman who’s life experience is probably much, much higher than others — she doesn’t have any of that. no barriers, no nothing: just the truth, couched in a kindness that he doesn’t think he deserves.
but seriously though, first name drop unprompted in my er is actually nuts. where did that come from?! no basis for anything, just like that huh?!
cathedrals anon!!!!! I apologize for my absence! and I also apologize I haven't been keeping up with the show the last couple of weeks!
but let me tell you––I am drawing hearts all over this message. I love being reminded of what drew me to this show so much last season! I love reading all of this into the relationships the show portrays! and I especially, still, love the first name drop!
(watch me catch up on this season just so i can write fic about it lmao)
I know you’re busy writing Masterpieces, but the song Broken Clocks by SZA really reminds me of your “young adult” series
Specifically the line “since I was 10, loved dirty men alike”
Like Javadi is just so pristine, kept in a bell jar all her youth. It makes sense she would be attracted to the Scuzzy Triumvirate of Cassie/Robby/Abbot
(Also I know this is my second ask, but discovering your work broke my brain and it’s all I can think about)
ahhhhh, thank you so much!!! 🤍🤍🤍 I apologize for taking so long to reply, but I can't tell you how delighted I was to receive both of these! that track is PERFECT for those fics, especially that line! I love it, thank you so much for sharing it with me. AND thank you again for your kind words; it means a lot!
Mirror Traps is such a masterpiece 🫶
thank you so much!!!! 🤍✨ a rewatch of Succession has been my background noise while doing work the past few weeks, and it's the first time I've watched it since finishing that fic! MEMORIES! this show is still everything to me!
hi! since you seem not so much into the pitt anymore, does it mean the rest of ur fics wont be published? :c i was really looking forward to a continuation to joy×jesse because Ned's music video helped me discover ur fanfic of them!
of course i mean this as no rush, and take all the time! i hope you're well!
hi!!!!!!! I will be honest, my interest in the show kinda more or less dried up this season (I'm......three episodes behind? whoops!) but! the lack of continuation of that fic is more or less down to not having time to work on it, haha. real life's been Real Life-ing, but I do think one of the most fun things about writing fic about tertiary characters is that you're kinda free to do whatever you want with them, canon is just a launching off point. all that to say! while this season killed a lot of my interest in the show as a show, I do still want to eventually finish some of the fics I started! and I appreciate your message so much! 🤍🤍
cathedrals anon!
A WIN FOR RADICAL EMPATHY THEORY!!! *unnecessary champagne bottle* yes cassie, clock your chief attending's troubling escalating si with that heightened sense of empathy dammit!
also nuts that we got a First Name Drop in the same episode hello?? wild stuff happening in da pitt. i have so many thoughts it's insane
my friend........I honestly gasped when I heard him say "Cassie", like bro, WHAT?!?! we're first name dropping here in the middle of the ER on the Fourth of July??? 🆗
that final scene with them was everything I was rooting for this season to give us, I'm honestly thrilled. this whole episode was such a great McKay episode (and honestly a great episode generally? we're finally cooking? everyone's at each others' throats? I'm ECSTATIC).
also––if that was chekhov's emotional breakdown set up in her conversation with Langdon........I kinda need it lmao
edit: I'm so tired, I just realized how many times I used the word honestly, help
