Mutual obsession, codependency and isolation sisters win
They happily isolate each other and follow these rules that nobody else understands, Merricat only cares about Constance and Constance would do anything for Merricat, no matter what Merricat does, and seemingly not out of fear, but out of love
When there's a possible love interest for Constance (who also happens to be said looks like their dad), Merricat wants him dead and in the end, even though Constance seemed more she could be a part of society, she chooses Merricat over him and over everyone else

Kendall/Roman:
They played a “game” as children where Kendall would lock Roman in a dog cage, which was heavily implied to include sexual elements. Specifically, Roman said that he started wetting the bed after they started playing this game, which is common in CSA victims. Everyone says that Roman liked the dog pound game and asked to play it while Roman insists that it fucked him up. I think that this is a very interesting look into how children can play “games” that are not as innocent as most people like to believe
The stiches-splitting hug and following strangulation attempt were devious ngl if you know you know. that was sadomasochism
uh it’s just everything i’ve collected with either roman roy ED evidence/ quotes/ script bits/ his weird food moments, and then also just any screenshot where i think he looks unwell (sorry kieran lmfao). it’s here u can see it if u fancy it lol
Jesse explaining that although all three boys generally experienced the same physical abuse, Roman has internalized his experience as a victim in a different way than Kendall and Connor.
“I would suggest Logan would have cuffed and hit all the boys at different times in their lives. I think the difference for Roman maybe is that he feels like he was bullied in the domestic environment and so we can all react to things in different ways. I think Connor and Kendall probably have experienced that and have managed to accommodate it without it being a big part of their psychology whereas I think Roman being that beaten dog and being - there’s often a dynamic isn’t there with bullied people as sort of needing the feeling of negative attention that you get from that and I think he’s become, not addicted to it, but related to it.”
