Don't Know If This Has Been Done Before - Tumblr Posts

Oh my G-d, they were roommates...

You’ve heard of: live, laugh, love.

Now get ready for: die, cry, despise!

Succession characters something something....

Something about Shiv and losing faith. Losing faith in the father who promised her everything, losing faith in the man fathoms below her who was never supposed to betray her. Something about her never having any faith to begin with, but losing it all the same.

Something about Kendall being an illusion rather than a man. Something about how no one really knew him at his birthday and it showing in the gifts they bought him. Something about Kendall believing in the illusion and losing who he is along the way. Something about losing his kids' gift despite it being the only gift to mean anything at all to him, reaffirming his role as father and caregiver in their lives. But he's lost it now, so maybe he never really was that guy. Maybe he was only the guy his father constructed him to be. The eldest boy. The illusion.

Something about Roman and confusing love and approval together. Something about how he's never been given any to begin with, neither love nor approval so he craves both and misplaces approval for love. Something about RomanGerri and her being the only one to have ever given him some form of approval and something about him falling for her, hard, because of it. Something about getting approval from Menken, from Kendall's abusive possessed body, from the crowd that could and would break him, burn him.
