You're, uh-- You're pals with Naomi Pierce, right? Yeah. Why? (...) How do you know her, anyway? Ew. You fucked her.

SISTER-IN-LAWS TO SCISSOR SISTERS? According to a close source, former PGN board member Naomi Pierce and the mysterious Tabitha Hayes have officially called it quits with longtime beaus Kendall and Roman Roy respectively, opting instead to date each other. The source claims Pierce and Hayes called the Roys ‘children in slightly taller bodies’ and that their relationships ‘turned us gay’. ‘We’re done with men. I’m f***ing sure of it,’ the source recalls Naomi saying over a Pierce family dinner. Currently Pierce is sitting pretty on her share of the whopping 10 billion dollar PGN buyout as purchased by the aforementioned Roys alongside sister Siobhan Roy, who coincidentally is rumored to be going through a divorce herself. If ATN Chairman Tom Wambsgans comes out as gay anytime soon, we just might have enough evidence to construct a case for Pierce’s theory that dating a Roy really can turn you gay! +

Is this new information? No. But it's still pretty great.

a few years after the finale, tabitha writes a piece on her time with the roys for some ny mag. the title is something punchy like “i never fucked roman roy” and it goes totally viral. people are writing think pieces in response, the twitter girlies are absolutely eating it up, and atn is losing their shit over it. she gets asked to write a tell-all book like jess did but politely declines, she’s said all she needed to. shiv has a copy of the article printed and framed to give roman as a gift, who rolls his eyes when he gets it but later hangs it up in one of his guest bathrooms.

I always think about how the only openly gay characters on Succession we've met are Tabitha and Naomi and their primary relationships are with Ken and Roman. Both Naomi and Tabs are outside the Roys' social circle. in Naomi's case, she's a Pierce; the family are canonically regarded for their left leaning media which is Waystar's main competitor both ideologically and commercially and that's why Logan wants to buy them out. But more than that, I do not think it's a coincidence that, as the only 2 openly queer characters in the show, Naomi and Tabitha's most significant relationships are with Kendall and Roman. Kendall and Roman are the children Logan directly and derogatorily interrogates about not being straight. He does that multiple times throughout the seasons, using slurs to describe their behaviour, as well as, in Kendall's case, using his sexuality as part of the blackmail about the waiter's death. Neither Tabitha or Naomi ever directly ask Roman or Kendall about being gay, but it's clearly something they share that goes unsaid. Kendall and Naomi connect primarily on their struggles with addiction, but the conversation they have about the pressure and shame of it could easily stand in for, and even stem from, struggles with sexuality too. much attention is paid to how Gerri "handles" Roman's sexual frustrations (without her consent), but Tabitha is really the only person who comes (or rather doesn't. rip sorry) closest to consensually getting Roman to attempt facing what he wants sexually. a conversation he only has with her after he learns she's not straight and after she makes him feel relatively safe from ulterior motivations. For both Kendall and Roman, naomi and tabs are relatively non-judgemental when it comes to the parts of who they are Logan shames them for because it's clearly something Tabs and Naomi understand empathetically. Of course, it doesn't work out for either couple, but how could it? Kendall and Roman are so repressed because they have to be to survive. because these people were born into such ultra conservative circles, there's tragically no amount of privilege that would make it feel safe for them to just exist or even contemplate existing outside of hegemonic norms. But yeah, in the armory of smoking guns that makes up Kendall and Roman's queer subtext, Naomi and Tabs are framed photos on the wall.

EDIT: making this post at 2am I forgot about Lawrence Yee of Vaulter fame. But the theory still fits because Lawrence's primary interactions are with Kendall and Roman. He clocks Kendall's much facade almost instantly which very much has a queer subtext to it. Also, Roman is sent to "wine and dine" Yee and his partner which is obviously loaded with subtext. I mean Roman even refers to him being out with them as metrosexual...

Alright, here is my slightly-petty masterpiece! I can explain most of these choices but I think I'm gonna let it speak for itself
