this was so vague as to be suspect I suppose, I just see people going 'all trans people are family' and it's like... man. I wish. unfortunately we are all just people and some of our insecurities are liable to brush up against each other.
i wish i could agree with lgbt community posting but after decades of watching queer infighting i have no capacity to believe in a broader queer community or inherent sort of understanding between people. womp womp

i havent been on here forever so i feel bad for people who just have seen me return from years of silence to talk about and reblog about roman roy and be like 'look my roman edit'
Succession makes me nuts because all of the tragedy is preventable but also it isn't. Usually, in big epics, the tragedy is that fate is inescapable. But in Succession there are a million tiny times where someone could have chosen to treat their siblings better or their spouse better or stuck to their guns or been honest or stopped being an asshole for two minutes, and it would have completely changed the trajectory of events. But also how could they have ever done any of it differently? Who taught them they could?
obsessed with how kieran culkin, jeremy strong, and sarah snook have all at one point been quoted as saying that they think their respective characters are the most like logan. it’s so romekenshiv coded. truly makes so much sense when you look at their performances.
its like. roman being the only who was hit as a kid puts literally everything about him in perspective. in the way there’s something extra fucked up and extra broken about roman that isnt the romantic tragedy of kendall or the ‘daddys girl fights misogyny’ vindication of shiv. in the way of ‘there’s something wrong with you.’ in the way of his outsider status with his siblings, but Especially in his attachment to logan. if you’re getting singled out to be hit, who’s to say you’re not going to convolute that into thinking its because you’re extra special? that dad loves you in a special way that culminates into a special punishment? dad and i have a different bond because he’s struck me but has never struck you so it must be because what he feels for me is stronger
A video of you crying at your father’s funeral goes viral but it’s okay, because he used to hold you up to the mirror and mock you too. You walk into a crowd of protestors until you’re beaten and trampled but it’s okay, because your father used to hit you too. He kicks you, and you chase the feeling.
He’s whimpering. Curled up like a child. A lapdog, waiting for its owner to come home. But it’s okay, because his father is still here. In the mockery. In his actions. His words. In him. He’s not coming out of that coffin, but it’s okay. He’s created you to be his own personal mausoleum instead. You have to take up his clothes, and his words, and his scorn, and stay in your cage while he lives in you. You're just a kid, but you can’t shield yourself from how your father rots inside you. Festers. Perfectly moulded. The dagger buried deep.
