ok one more post about it, how did people get so convinced roman is going to have sex with anyone anyway? are people actually convinced or is it just a joke. actual sex or fuck as in kill? it’s possible for a very interesting exploration of homoerotic behavior in alt right spaces w mencken but the more i think about it the less i think anything will actually happen beyond continuing their rancid-flirtatious dynamic & that being used for commentary/satire on the alt right etc.

#succession #not sure why the idea that the guy who has major issues around sex will have sex unless ppl are joking and i don't realize it?#i can't decide if i think it would make sense for his arc or not i need more info about where he's headed #i want more abt roman's sexuality yes but is it worth it happening Like That?#on one hand i'd like to know if roman is queer or not just to know it but on the other #that ruins the compelling ambiguity there #knowing if he is queer or not is unrelated to mencken unless it becomes related to him yanno?#do i even want to know for sure? i really love how the show doesn't give up everything and leaves you wondering #like connor's mom what happened with rose etc etc etc it's better not to know even if i really want to know #the aspect of the horror being even more terrible if you can't see it etc #i can't see this show ending in a good way for any of the characters i feel like they'll all spiral down the drain #but do i want roman to fall that far? will he? does he 'deserve' it?#'deserve' as in he's been made very sympathetic lately and i think his narrative is in need of him doing smth fucked up that has real world #consequences like kendall killing the waiter or shiv getting the sa victim not to testify #roman did have the failed rocket launch which had real world consequences but they weren't as bad as he thought...#i have a feeling the membrane between the roys and the rest of the world will get very thin & they'll do something that has consequences #and is actively harmful to the world at large & i think this is the way that could happen
