#jk none of this is plausible i just like badly analyzing things that weren’t meant to be analyzed

this could just be me reading into something that isn’t at all something to be read into, BUT i think it’s really interesting how logan didn’t refer to roman as romulus a single time in the last four episodes of s2. romulus and remus were twins in ancient roman mythology, and romulus ultimately committed fratricide — now, this could just be logan roy being obnoxiously dramatic with his nicknames, but i’ve always sort of seen it as a reference to the killer instinct that logan believes roman has (and that he believes kendall lacks). logan and roman’s relationship- though always extremely tumultuous- takes a steep nosedive in the latter half of season two. logan has seemingly dismissed the notion of roman succeeding him, though that doesn’t stop the roy patriarch from using his son in various ways to keep waystar royco from imploding. HOWEVER! the first two episodes of season three see logan reviving the romulus nickname- which, again, could mean nothing- but maybe he’s beginning to reconsider roman’s position in the company? maybe roman securing the money needed to take waystar private has impressed logan enough to have him thinking about the fact that roman might have what it takes to be the successor.
