i so often think about the fact that ollie and emma canonically went on a city break to venice together what would that have even been like they must have been miserable
do you think when ollie was director of communications he ended up having his own ollie, or does he only enjoy that dynamic when he's on the receiving end of it?
i think he did, in the end. he may not have thought about it too much when he was still on his knees for caesar himself, but i think once the parasite took hold he'd understand why malcolm picked him out like he did. and on a bloodier note– i think he would have his own ollie because the cycle demands it. caesar forges, fashions and sharpens brutus whether he means to or not. there are no other versions of the story. little fleas and lesser fleas.... and i think ollie would have treated them differently, more in line with softcore and algorithms than thoraxes and teeth. but in the end, yes, i believe another sick phd graduate learned at his feet
#i believe this#i think ollie would love someone grovelling at his feet#but i don’t think he’d do what malcolm did to him#like yk i don’t think ollie could top WHAT WHO SAID THAT#but for work related stuff i think he’d love to have someone scared of him and also someone he can control#he’s a little more evil than malcolm but not as harsh as him? that literally doesn’t make sense but it does
ollie reeder patron saint of alcoholics who still recoil when they drink whiskey
“even tucker has principles […] but ollie just doesn’t” okayyyy 🔥🔥🔥
so, erm, thank you very much for coming. i look forward to seeing much more of you in the coming weeks and months– not you, rod, obviously, you're a twat [laughter] hah, in spite of the awards, for being a twat, i believe. so, thanks, fellas, don't be strangers. [allows himself one triumphant, satisfied grin and pushes his glasses up his nose as he walks down the corridor]
#like chris addison said unlike malcolm he has no principles#so cutting ppl out (and i mean this like a tumour if you consider the political body as a literal one) brings him no remorse#ollie reeder as director of communications stands for himself and nothing else#he has no principles so he can let anything he does slide#he can do no wrong as there is no wrong to him#what#that makes no sense#he’s like a bug#uh like an ant rounding aphids
“even tucker has principles […] but ollie just doesn’t” okayyyy 🔥🔥🔥
“even tucker has principles […] but ollie just doesn’t” okayyyy 🔥🔥🔥
happy "well I hear her say how do you like it and he’ll say ‘i’ve gotta page tucker'" saturday
did anyone try the malcolm tucker sex scandal i thought the malcolm tucker sex scandal & sodomy trial was wonderful
i think what we have done to the email show is beautiful [leaning against the gurney with bile up to the elbows]
if i knew slightly more about etymology i think there would be a very interesting point to make about the fact that so many of the key male political figures in the thick of it have surnames with an -er suffix. malcolm tucker, oliver reeder, and dan miller all have names that indicate that they act, that they move— and in line with the roman mores the show seems to speak in, that they penetrate
starting hannibal with a granola yoghurt and a glass of beautiful refreshing water (i have ulcerative colitis and can’t eat anything that tastes good) also why does everytime this will guy talk everyone in the room turns to look at him like they forgot he was there
“The point of horror is to survive” “the point of horror is to be doomed” maybe the point of horror is to cum
that one time ollie tried to grab malcolm the way he grabs him
recommending things to people like uhh yeah it's really fucking weird but well. i promise it's good. can i describe it? uhh. no
