When i want to dig through my emotional trauma regarding my mom —> sharp objects ( book or series because both together slaughter me so beautifully. Something something our mother is our carver and grave digger something something we never escape the house we grew up in, the house we lost everything in; always being afraid to become who hurt us—tangling ourselves in the line between the kindness in ourselves and the sickness in our parents)
When i want to dig through my emotional trauma regarding my dad —> succession (there is nothing for me to say here, i watch a dad kick his children and watch them come back to him no matter what circumstance because they want his love; dangling the legacy, the opportunity of a lifetime in front of your kids and then drowning them when they get to close; wanting your kids to be killer, but them never doing it because they want your love too much; fear vs love)
When i want to dig through both my maternal and paternal issues and also the fact that love is carnal —> hannibal (i mean surrogate parents; manipulation at the highest form, obsession for understanding; layers upon layers of desire unfurling themselves under each other; trying to find parents in the people who took the most from you; having someone affect your life so deeply there is a before and after with them in the middle)

shiv's motivations for voting to pass the gojo deal are so layered and i don't think they should be dismissed in favour of any one interpretation. shiv desperately grabbed on to a lifeline for her relationship with tom. shiv was the deciding vote and she couldn't bear to hold the crown only for a moment just to place it atop her brother's head. shiv knew she would have more influence as wife of CEO rather than sister of CEO. shiv absolutely hated seeing kendall crystallize into logan before her eyes, especially when he made roman bleed ("and if we did kill him we get to go to bed") -- succession has always been about siblings so of course she tried to free her brothers before her child. shiv still thinks she can raise her child with all the material benefits of being the daughter of waystar CEO while doing better by her, whatever that means. and all of those things are true

say what you will about roman being a piece of shit and every word you say will undoubtedly be true. but it means something that I got sick to my stomach watching kendall repeatedly tell roman “you fucked it” when roman is at his absolute lowest, just to manipulate him into being subservient the way logan manipulated kendall himself in the s1 finale. it means something that I was crying watching roman break down completely at the funeral, sobbing in ways no one has seen him sob before as he asks to get his dad out of the coffin like a little kid who can’t fathom death. it means something— everything— that I was nauseous watching roman self-destruct, go looking for a fight all while a loop of his whimpering is going viral and being mocked and the ONLY person even remotely uncomfortable with it is gerri.
it doesn’t matter if you’re a piece of shit. in this world, in this game, emotion like that gets shot down, scarfed on by sharks. nobody deserves that. not in this lifetime anyway.
