Happy birthday! Have a good one! :)
So, my 1,000 post is coming up…
Considering I’m very close to reaching another hundred followers as well, I have a few options here so you can see how fully I appreciate this.
- I can do a video of me reading my followers’ names in a very sensual manner.
- My brothers and I can record a cover of a song.
- I’ll donate (x) amount of money to whatever charity. Keep in mind, I work freelance. I’m broke.
- Do gifs of myself doing each of the Bluths’ chicken dances from Arrested Development.
- I can pull out that Richard Harrow mask and read my followers’ names like him while wearing the mask.
- I can eat yogurt and reblog a picture of a puppy, like I’m practically doing now.
- Do nothing.
I don’t know. Probably the last.
AAAAH Rage Harrow!!!
THE COLD WINDS ARE RISING
manueluv replied to your post: Nucky: A scarf, in this weather? Margaret: It…
Why do they need winter when there’s Winter?
What I also find interesting with Harrow is how his situation mirrors today's veterans coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan and the treatment they've received now. I also like him because out of all of these thieves and gangsters, he seems to be the most honorable.
Oh, I didn’t even think of how it applies to current soldiers… but I agree completely. And yes, he’s certainly the most honorable. Even more than Margaret.

Ah, already covered Richard Harrow. Luckily it was in a two-fer post, so I can expand on it a bit. Here’s what I said:
Richard Harrow. Probably the best thing that has come out of television. You know, people usually are confused… ‘a male obsessed with Richard Harrow!?” But let’s look at this character. A man who joins the army during one of the more brutal wars in American history for something he obviously believed in… only to have the country he fought for spit him out into a world that doesn’t accept him. He waited for days to take out a german soldier, yet after he sustains his injuries our soldier no longer has any place?
Of all the terribly corrupt characters, the most pure of which is the hardest to look at. He’s at the whims of those he feels are better than him because they’re easier to look at. Richard just wants a place in a world that no longer has any use for a wounded soldier. How could one not relate to such a tormented soul?
It’s really no surprise why this character has the following he does. Sure, at times he becomes that three-legged puppy you can’t help but feel for, but he also has so much more that he hides that he’s afraid to reveal.
The next episode is going to be big. Jimmy’s fate isn’t certain, but you know Richard is going to be in Season 3. The one woman who actually enjoyed him for who he really was has been killed because of his best friend’s arrogance. He’s going to get to a breaking point, and we’re going to see him in full glory.
My prediction? Jimmy’s going to meet his end. Richard is going to make sure Jimmy’s son stays as far away from Gillian as possible and is going to take care of him. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see him with Nucky again, but he certainly won’t be the lapdog we’ve seen.
Boardwalk Empire: Nelson Van Alden & Richard Harrow! ;)
You jerk. Putting two of my favorite Boardwalk characters in one post.
Nelson Van Alden… you stickler. Here we are, in the 1920s. The world is changing and we’re starting to see the beginning of modernization. So here we have ol’ Nelson. A traditional man. One who has a firm belief in order and religion. And as he continues to try to bring down corruption, he starts to lose his own beliefs. Hell, he even sleeps and fathers a child with a woman closely tied with his sworn enemy. Season two has been great for Nelson. Sure, he hasn’t been going with the current, but he sure has been weathering it nicely. To the point where he’s faced with his crimes and becomes what he’s hunted all along. A felon. Dramatic, sure… but that’s my thought.
Richard Harrow. Probably the best thing that has come out of television. You know, people usually are confused… ‘a male obsessed with Richard Harrow!?” But let’s look at this character.
