Jesse explaining that although all three boys generally experienced the same physical abuse, Roman has internalized his experience as a victim in a different way than Kendall and Connor.   

“I would suggest Logan would have cuffed and hit all the boys at different times in their lives.  I think the difference for Roman maybe is that he feels like he was bullied in the domestic environment and so we can all react to things in different ways. I think Connor and Kendall probably have experienced that and have managed to accommodate it without it being a big part of their psychology whereas I think Roman being that beaten dog and being - there’s often a dynamic isn’t there with bullied people as sort of needing the feeling of negative attention that you get from that and I think he’s become, not addicted to it, but related to it.”

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:

SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.

BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.

and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.

and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.

Stewy would have some dumb as shit NFTs for a while but he would sell them before the market totally collapsed. Kendall on the other hand thinks AI art is genuinely the future of meaningful art and has invested massively. Stewy has also invested but it is because he sees the destroying-labour-rights potential

[beebeetheclown]

You’re joking…

More for me and the 19.2% I guess.

They all said pass to this?!

[stewykablooey]

there’s something to be said of the kennaomi kenstewy ‘dealing with kendall’s mental health’ parallels and it’s like something something naomi is The supportive gf in a way stewy would never be but something something stewy’s coming from a heart been broke too many times reluctance but also kendall is also The supportive gf to naomi in a way he never is for stewy but also something something when naomi does finally see kendall’s true colors she dumps his ass but stewy’s still there despite having repeatedly been shown kendall’s true colors and thats because love is blind

Rajbow Week Day 2: Song Lyrics (and “matching” outfits)

You’re looking for a boyfriend, I see that

Gimme time, yknow I’m gonna be there

Don’t be scared to come put your trust in me

Can’t you see? All I really wanna be

Is your boyfriend

Can’t fight that

Knock me down, yknow I’m coming right back

I don’t care at all what you’ve done before

All I really want is to be your

Your boy-boy-bo-bo-boy-bo-bo-boyfriend

Your boy-boy-bo-bo-boy-bo-bo-boyfriend

Your boy-boy-bo-bo-boy-bo-bo-boyfriend

Your boy-boy-bo-bo-boy-bo-bo-boyfriend

Yes I did use the Nickelodeon music video for reference

And yes Raj is a huge BTR fan

[eastgaysian]

i'll convert people to my 'kendall and roman are closer in age than roman and shiv, but roman and shiv have a closer relationship because kendall is the problem' theory if it kills me

[hightowres]

what'd you think of the succession finale!!

(sorry you're dealing with loser anons<3)

hi hi hi!! how are you jj? i genuinely haven’t even fully processed it since i watched it last night?? like that was such a rollercoaster esp because i watched the show so fast like so many episodes per day to the point that it all blurred together and then it was just like over? i definitely have thoughts lol but they’re so unformed and incoherent rn. love the show so much though and i hate how late i was?? kendall was my fav the whole time though lol

[myplasticadversary]

Oh right, I just remembered! I was thinking about boy Shiv again earlier, how I feel like he'd have a combination of Stewy's attitude + Ewan's beliefs + Roman's pesky little brother-ness, and it occurred to me that perhaps he and Kendall could have a kind of Charley and Frank (of Merrily) thing going on with them promising to run Waystar together someday and change the world but it all falling apart as they grow up and keep getting put in the ring with one another.

[kendallroygf]

your tags in every ken/stewy post always make me laugh because yes- stewy definitely calls his grandma and starts going on a lengthy rant about ken and occasionally shittalking the roys. she doesn’t know what he’s on about half the time but you’re right, the main takeaway is always ‘make dua sadegh:)’ he’s still gonna call and complain though. never beaten those down bad allegations since high school im afraid.

FOR REALLLLL HSFHJHGGGH. i just know he spent half the time of his weekly phone calls to his grandmother complaining about his best friend kendall and his fucked up family and i just know that every female relative in stewy’s life is sooo doting that they’re just like awwww he has a friend mashallah🥰 so cute. even when it’s decidedly not ‘cute’ anymore for stewy to be this obsessed with his best friend. like it doesn’t even cross their mind to think stewy might be a tad not normal about kendall. five year old stewy was like . i wish me and kendall wud be best fwends forevar and when we grow up we live together and have a kitty:) and stewy’s maman is like. awww say inshallah sadegh🥰.

[beebeetheclown]

I want to suc his cession

[punishedgreg]

wow. just thinking about how kendall spent the previous three seasons struggling to carve out the shape of his own personhood against the haunting of his own father

and paradoxically enough, logan's death was the last seal and kendall is just. utterly possessed. it's possession. he's not real. he's not real. your kendall disappeared. it's just him now.
