roman thinks he killed logan didn’t he . thinks he called him a cunt and that’s why logan had a heart attack. he forgot to tell him he loved him. he’s going to become logan now as a means of repentance isn’t he . he’s gonna become atn and mencken and all of it because he thinks he needs to, he thinks he has to, he needs to make things right. motherfucker

Virgil: Hey Jan, can I have a Pepsi?

Janus: What did Logan say?

Virgil: He said no.

Janus: Then why are you asking me?

Virgil: ‘Cause he’s not the boss of you.

Janus: *whispering* It’s a trap it’s a trap it’s a trap....

In case anyone else has the brain worm that makes them want exact details anytime people talk numbers, in Too Much Birthday the offer to buy Kendall out says that he has 12,904,663 shares of Waystar (worth ~2bil at $156/share), so assuming he didn't sell any stock after that and also that Shiv and Roman all had an equal stake, which the show implies, that means that when they sell the company at $192/share in the finale, each of the siblings gets just under $2.5 billion, half of it in Gojo stock, not counting whatever they inherit from Logan.

Y/N : Tomorrow night at 9 outside this bar, I’ll come pick you up.

Y/N, walks away :

Logan, flustered : Did they just ask me on a date?

Hesh : I think it was more of a statement. . .?

Taste in books i think each of the sides on Sander Sides would have

Logan: Easiest side to tell since he says his book taste in canon lmao, mistery books guy, agatha christie, sherlock holmes, murders on rue morgue, he just really enjoys a good mistery (he’s just like me fr). He also probably reads books about scientific discoveries and psychological studies on a day to day basis (since he seems to have an answer for everything), either really likes or really hates sci fi depending on the scientifical explanations the books gives

Patton: Ok so, im gonna be honest, i don’t think Patton reads much? In fact hes probably the one who reads the least out of all sides, but he does seem to know his stuff, quoting studies in some episodes ( ‘Can lying be good?’ being the one who comes to mind ), so he probably reads a few articles about Morality and philosophy, also when i imagine Patton reading i imagine children’s books with deep messages like Dr Seuss, so personally i think Patton’s taste in books would be books like “The Tao of Pooh” which explains philosophy in a simple fun way taking inspiration from children’s media.

Roman: Roman’s my favorite side and although i would like to dump my personal taste on him i am aware that he canonically hasn’t read my favorite book and dislikes dark retellings of fairytales, leaving me to tears since those are my favorite kind of story. However i will indulge a bit and say that Roman would love Shakespearean plays ( His favorite would be Hamlet bc it inspired Lion King ) and typical fantasy books. Im also 100% sure that guy has a shelf full of Disney Movie Books like the novelization of Beauty and the beast and the villain’s origin books by Serena Valentino, also has those super pretty Disney Classics books ( lucky mfer ). And obviously he would have the original novels of multiple musicals ( Wicked, Be more chill, Dear Evan Hansen…) and some ballets/non-Disney classics as well (The nutcracker, The wizard of oz, Swan lake… ). Also Harry Potter i guess, since that’s canon 😒

Virgil: We all know what im going to say, Horror fan. Likes Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and classic horror books that inspired movies/series ( Carrie, Ring, the haunting of hill house… ), also reads a concerning amount of True crime about unsolved murder cases, and he has a special edition of the novel of The nightmare before Christmas somewhere trust me. And to self indulge a little, Dark retellings of fairytales, especially the Horror leaning ones.

Janus: I feel like Patton would read simplified philosophy books while Janus would grab shit like The gay science by Friedrich Nietzsche at the local library (never read this book, hilarious title tho), Overall i think Janus’s taste on books would consist of either philosophy and sociology books (especially the ones that annoying people read to keep gloating about how smart they are, except he actually likes them), and influential plays like Shakespeare, The Odyssey, The Iliad, Medea, Phantom of the Opera etc… His taste is the perfect combination of annoying Theater kid with pretentious philosophy kid (He is the guy they strive to be 😭)

Tw: Remus and everything that comes with him

-

Remus: YES, REMUS READS, YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND ON THIS, The books he reads? Very simple, Dark romance and horror, the books are his inspirations for new creative ways to annoy the shit out of the other sides, he is slowly but surely making a list of new horrid murder and torture methods he learned via horror books, also dark romance for him is just romance since he thinks normal romance books are boring and lack taste, some other side definitely walked in on him reading once ( picture him reading on the sofa twirling his hair and bouncing his legs in a very stereotypical teen girl way ) and asked what he was reading only for him to answer something like “ ‘Taken Hostage by the Hot Mafia Boss’ :D” Also definitely read the Kam4 Sutr4.

-

Bonus: Remy/Sleep has a book detailing the multiple different ways on how to brew coffee and Picani has every Kids Show Book he could find ( Gravity Falls 3rd Diary, Star vs the Forces of Evil Book of spells etc… )

ALSO WARNING: If you want to buy any of the books i talked about here be aware there is currently a boycott of Disney and any other properties that have ties to the genocide committed by Israel!! And mainly, i would recommend to grab any book i mentioned in the library since they’re one of the only public community spaces that haven’t shut down yet, support your public library to make sure it stays that way!

Sure, “the cycle is cycling” is a fun and cute thing to say but in all honesty? To me, the succession ending sort of accidentally broke that logic. Can you really draw the logical conclusion that the siblings end up like Ewan and Logan? No, because what was the reason for their estrangement? Ultimately, Ewan resents Logan for letting himself become the person he died as. Why was Logan like that? Because of the company (very simplisitc, there is more here obviously). Shiv literally takes that possibility away from Kendall by voting against him.

Does that mean being “out” magically fixes their shit? Of course not. Here is the thing. Kendall will always be trapped in the cycle of thinking he was meant to be CEO, it was instilled into him as a child! Part of him will always resent Shiv for her vote and will always come back to this formative moment. But. Does that mean he can never care about anything else, doomed to wander around as an empty shell? I don’t think so, we’ve been through the epic highs and lows of corporate fuckery with Ken, he somehow always returns to himself in the end, partially because of his siblings.

Shiv will always be stuck knowing that her being a woman plays a major part in the way her father and every other man in her life treats her. That resentment won’t go away either, it may even take a new shape with motherhood mixed in. But also, she is probably working a new angle with Tom as we speak. Maybe she’ll return to her political roots, who knows, she certainly will do everything to not become her mother even if she jokes about the opposite at the funeral. But the most important thing to me is the fact that, even in her resentment towards Ken, she tells him “I love you, but I can’t fucking stomach you”. The first part did not need to be there. And yet.

And Roman (always hardest to talk about for me, lol). Well, he will always look for guidance outside of himself, he will always need his family. His ending is lonely on one side, but there is a quiet beauty in it as well. After everything, there is a moment of solitude and being able to breathe, even reminisce. He just started really grieving and wherever the path leads, it will never lead back to Logan. It can’t. He will always love his father (and I need to take the moment to say- that is totally fine, we as observers have a different view on their relationship than him), but his father will never be able to abuse that or hold it against him again. The wheels have come off the cycle and the engine is dead. The entire fourth season can be seen as an attempt to keep the cycle alive, because it is comforting in a way. But it doesn’t work, because, I repeat, THE ENGINE IS LITERALLY DEAD.

See, succession clearly has shown that whereas Logan and Ewan had no desire to be a family, the sibs always find their way back to each other. After Ken’s season 1 bullshit. After Ken’s press conference. After the confrontation with Logan. Ewan tells people at the funeral “I loved him I suppose, but-” but none of them would ever say that. The love is so clearly, inarguably there and maybe that is the real tragedy; that in another world it could have been a much easier kind of love (but it rarely is, for most of us anyways).

“Four seasons to prove it! And they simply haven’t proved it.”

The sibs aren’t going to Logan’s birthday party!

Look: I’m a Hoffman is alive truth er myself, but we all know that as soon as Lawrence left Hoffman’s ass in that bathroom, he went home and railed his husband of 10 years. Adam doesn’t know what brought Larry’s neediness, but he has a strong feeling it has to do with that damn bathroom.

Dave Rygalski is THE blueprint. Best boy out there.

Did Dean ever read the entire Bible in one night to win the approval of his girlfriend’s mom? No, no he didn’t. Dean could never comprehend a girlfriend’s mom not liking him.

Did Logan ever run across Star’s Hollow just to briefly see Rory and then run back while on a break from playing hymns for her mother? No way he would’ve done that, especially considering that he only visited Star’s Hollow once the entire time they dated. He would’ve hired a private driver, maybe, but he never would’ve run.

Did Jess ever try to win Rory’s mother’s favor multiple times and refuse to give up? Did he agree to let Rory pretend date someone else in an elaborate ruse to eventually get them together? No, Jess would get too jealous.

Dave is superior, Lane deserved better than Zack and I stand by this.

the yotes deserved that win after finding out they could be moved to fucking utah btw

hot take but even though kendall is trying to become logan, i dont think he ever will fully complete the transformation. he'll try and try and try but continue to fail because that's what all the siblings do. they win for a little but always end up fumbling. in fact, throughout most of the season, the only reason ANY of them have actually 'won' or found an angle that gives them power is usually the direct result of another sibling failing. would mattson and shiv have connected so hard if ken/roman didn't rub him the wrong way after he asked for atn? would kendall have earned the respect of mencken if roman hadn't choked before the speech? would shiv have gotten mencken on her and mattson's side if kendall hadn't lost control of the conversation they had at the funeral reception? i could go on. they almost NEED each other around in order to get a leg up. the whole reason why logan wouldn't name any of them as CEO in the first place is because they all did not meet his expectations in one way or another. it's the same with anyone they are trying to influence. without having their siblings around to fuck up at the right time, and make them look like a better option, it quickly becomes clear how incompetent they are.

also logan got away with his behavior for so long because he actually had power and influence. despite how shitty he was, he did know what he was doing (now, there were times when logan was actually an idiot but that's a discussion for another day). what matters is he got by for long enough that people were willing to follow him to get close to that level of power. none of the siblings have 100% of logan in them, and i don't think kendall will be able to get away with trying to be logan unless he actually has something to back it up with business-wise (he really doesn't). notice how none of the old guard has actually been very supportive of any of the sibs. they are waiting to see how things will play out before they pick sides, because right now things are still so up in the air and anything can happen.
