idk what kind of love yall are experiencing that doesn’t make you consider trapping them in a human sized mason jar

within the roy family itself, the roy siblings always seem to be more reasonable than their dad, fighting against the forces of the company and clinging to some sense of a conscience, even outsmarting him. but outside of it, in the public eye, they are just a reflection of him -- they are wholly unembarrassed of their obvious prejudice, they suffer from no imposter syndrome. to an outsider they appear condescending and overwhelming and insane, just as their father must appear to them. but in those moments outside their family, they become vulnerable, too, because outsiders actually see the things that are truly awful about them, just like us, the audience, instead of the things logan considers to be awful about them, which are not true (or at least, are not things that actually matter)

the last shot of succession should be stewy looking sad on a yacht. it should end on stewy because i would like it to. and this should be a cut away from the ambiguous kendall logan funeral where you don't know whose funeral it is. because logan should dead right before the kids can actually beat him and they shift back into distrusting each other but at this point none of them want to turn on the others first and then there should be ambiguous kendalldeath he should walk into the sea as the only way out for him but we do not see him die we only see his absence afterwards and connor shiv roman sitting together and there is no clearcut resolution and the cycle doesn't end it just eats itself. and then stewy should look sad on a yacht.

I feel like, especially in season 2, the directors of Succession really misstepped by not having a small cartoon cloud following Kendall, raining on him 24/7

sorry fucking the narrative the cycle whatever i dont want to see that shit man... its miserable. just another in a long string of women trapped and mistreated by men with far too much power over them after everything. maybe im a hater maybe im too soft the others got satisfying endings that made sense she fucking sacrificed her whole life again for the men around her she has literally nothing no power no leverage no options what the fuck ever though because it makes sense i guess. well goodnight!

Your Kendall post speaks volumes. I never knew how to articulate it properly but I always think (idk if it’s canon or not) His ex wife is Jewish, his best friend Iranian and his daughter, South Asian. But he’s aligning himself with parties like ATN etc. I don’t know, it’s a funny thing to me because wether or not the writers did this on purpose or not but the people he’s closest to (aside from his sibs) are as you said, from marginalised communities. Does he think the amount of wealth a person earns suddenly makes them immune to a system that wasn’t originally built for anyone aside for people like him. I wonder what his stance would’ve been on Mckenen if he were in the room when they were all deciding who should be president. It’s more personal for him, his daughter is quite literally apart of the community that Mckenen demonises. Not even just for Kendall but for Stewy & Marcia too. Like they can’t be seen opposing people like him because where does that put them? Just being poc in a cooperate world is threatening enough. This is me putting too much thought into it while also knowing the writers maybe didn’t when it comes to the Sophie/Marcia/Stewy and the role they have to put on.
hmm i don’t know how qualified i am to speak on this but in terms of ‘aligning himself with atn’ i truly think it’s never been an conscious choice for kendall to do that. like it came with the job. logan groomed kendall to one day be in charge of waystar and subsequently atn for however many years and i think a consequence of that is that kendall doesn’t really have any concrete ideologies/beliefs, much like roman. but similar to shiv (although her politics are way more clear) he has this abstract idea of ‘doing good things’ with waystar and wanting to be a ‘good person’ but this in itself kind of centres around logan . like his desire to ‘be good’ is just a desire to be good in comparison to his father (i’m a good person i’m better than you etc) but ultimately kendall (in s1 mostly) wanted to be the Good Guy but without much foresight on what that actually looks like and i think that’s where his relationships with stewy, rava and sophie come in i suppose. but i don’t think kendall intentionally created a relationship with stewy and rava or adopted sophie out of tokenism or anything. i simply think he connected to stewy and rava in some way mostly because they oppose logan and what he Represents very outwardly and consciously or unconsciously that’s what kendall was looking for. it stems from that patricidal drive + resentment kendall’s always had for logan but ultimately i think kendall is too self absorbed to think more deeply about what stewy or his daughter might face esp in terms of the toxicity of atn or what part kendall himself plays in it all. but i think i agree with you in the sense it seems kendall does think material wealth kind of shields you from having to deal with institutionalised racism + i played back that scene and kendall says wrt to atn and waystar he’s ‘trying to keep the world safe’ for his kids so i do think that he thinks that sophie was ultimately safe from all that and he probably assumes people like stewy and marcia are too. so with that in mind i don’t think he really counts his daughter as part of the many marginalised groups that mencken demonises even though sophie as we see isn’t exempt from facing racism. like at all. as for what kendall’s stance would be on mencken if he was in that room in ‘what it takes’ i could not say for sure but i think that itself goes back to kendall not having any concrete ideology or politics except on an entirely abstract level. like mencken’s a ‘nazi’ but ‘on a business level, they need to have a relationship’ so i think honestly his stance would be completely determined by his state of mind wrt to himself and his father. but no yeah i agree it’s probably extremely difficult for stewy, marcia and stewy who have all at one point been othered or treated as nrpi by the roys while still being closely connected to it all.
