its truly moving how much grace in this episode was given to the reality of losing a parent who was abusive and how none of the Roys reactions is cut and dry. A huge part of their grief is not just for Logan, but that there is never going to be reconciliation. the possibility of their father apologising, being the dad they needed, has died with him. ken's"i can't forgive you, but i love you" encapsulates so much of that conflict, the cognitive dissonance of loving your parent and being their victim who is never going to get closure. roman tells Logan he's "a monster" so, of course, he'll be okay wherein his frame of reference for his father's strength is his own fear of it. shiv's childish insistence that she can't allow this, as if asserting herself hoping her father will admonish her for it as he always has. it's one thing to know your parent harmed you irrevocably and wish them suffering for that - but it's another thing, "a material event", to lose them and lose the chance, the hope once and for all, that the one person who hurt you more than anyone will make it okay. obviously, it's okay if you lose your abusive parent and feel nothing or feel glad, but i felt so relieved to see this episode give space to the tedious, complicated and painful reality that, even if you don't want to, you can feel grief your abusive parent and the loss of hope that leaves with them.

succession is fun because no one is going to break the cycle of abuse and you know this and yet you still tune in every week hoping they will break the cycle of abuse

"So, Nico?" Y/N sat down next to the son of Hades as they watched Will trying to teach Percy some healing techniques. It wasn't going well. Will looked flushed and angered that Percy didn't place the bandaid right on the fake training dummy they were using to practice on.
"Yes?" Nico turned him. His dark eyes were shining with uninterestedness.
"You had a crush on Percy, right?"
"Had being the operative word." Nico twisted his skull ring nervously as if talking about his former crush made him anxious. "Why do you ask?"
"Just curious. I just figured that when you found out that Percy was single after he and Annabeth broke up, you'd try to get together with him."
"Why would I? I have a sunshine boyfriend." Nico gestures towards Will.
"Aren't you guys on a break?" Y/N asked.
Nico looks shocked. "Who told you about that?"
Y/N giggles. "The Aphrodite cabin."
"Remind me to send an army of the undead to ruin their makeup and clothes." Nico grumbles.
Y/N laughed again.
