The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

The christian family in these memes (which are absolutely all over facebook these days) genuinely do always look miserable. Who the fuck is relating to these stock mormon farm cultists. That is a couple who made love only once in pitch darkness with bags on their heads then celebrated the pregnancy with a feast of uncooked potatoes and warm tapwater. The baby seems intrigued though. Maybe only by the bottle of pills??

I really really fucking love Shirley Dander.

I love all the women in Slow Horses, of course. But Shirley is special to me. She gets to be just as fucked up and useless and bitchy as the men in this show. She's the only woman who feels like she was always going to end up in Slough House. Louisa and Catherine are both incredibly competent. They're both too damn nice, they both suffer incredibly from their proximity to the fuckass men in this show. Shirley is like if River was actually smart and addicted to crack and not blond and not a nepo baby. You've seen the "they're siblings your honor" posts, you know what I'm saying. She belongs in Slough House, a loose cannon, an asshole, an agent who's only really useful if you know how to use her. Maybe that's why Shirley and Marcus's friendship was so fucking special. They're foils, they're on equal footing, they're mean to each other and they're sick of each other's shit and they love each other with all their hearts and it wasn't enough. How could it have been? It wasn't enough to save Marcus, not from death, not even from his addiction. It wasn't enough to save Shirley, she's throwing herself into danger for Roddy fucking Ho for god's sake. This is Slough House, the power of friendship isn't going to do shit for you. It'll tear the people you love away from you until you're left an empty husk. It's happening to River. We're seeing it right now. But his is slow and agonizing. Shirley was thrown in the deep end. And now she's so fucked. Simultaneously keeping a distance from her coworkers and obsessing over their safety. God, I think if someone died now she'd lose it. Imagine that. I need to write that. Oh I need to write that right now.

I love that one of the most frequently recurring themes in Slow Horses is River just fucking plowing people over in public transit. It's one of the first things we see him do in s1e1, and then he does it a minimum of 2-3 times per season from then on.

It's so stupid, but it always makes me laugh to see him just elbowing people out of the way yelling "MOVEMOVEMOVEMOVE".

[eeriedragone]

Are there any fellow Slow Horses fans out there?

Very proud of the Lamb portrait, I struggled a bit more with Catherine

[tinkertailorsoldierguy]

Something I like about River is that he is written as this sort of generic archetype of a spy thriller protagonist, and he is simultaneously very attached to the fantasy of actually being Generic Spy Protagonist, which aaaalmost gives him a sort of genre awareness, except he never seems to figure out that he has been dropped into the wrong genre. And he just. Cannot adjust. So he keeps on doing stuff that seems incredibly stupid and impulsive, because it would work if he were the protagonist in a Bond thriller, but instead he falls flat on his face every time.

It also then makes it funnier how he’s kind of like, “but guys I’m the main character,” and everyone else is like, “you fucking narcissist,” because tbh none of them are wrong. He is the main character, he just can’t accept that being the main character is not always an aspirational role.

But anyway, this is also why I’m really not bothered by stuff like River having a surprise evil dad and whatnot because that’s exactly the type of outlandish backstory a generic spy protagonist would have.
