If there are any kenstewy truthers left alive, listen to Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus on Taylor Swift’s new album, it feels so Stewy POV
-“could it be enough just to float in your orbit? Can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses” +Stewy always being there, latently around Kendall, not there 100% but always involved in the company and willing to give him billions of dollars apparently for a company takeover?
-“you needed me, but you needed drugs more and I couldn’t watch it happen”
-“as the decade would play us for fools and you saw my bones out with somebody new who seemed like he would’ve bullied you in school and you just watched it happen”
-“So if I sell my apartment, and you have some kids with an internet starlet, will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon like it never happened?”
-“if you wanna break my cold, cold heart just say ‘I loved you, the way that you were’”
-“If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh, down that passage in time back to the moment I crashed into you, like so many wrecks do, too impaired by my youth to know what to do” + Kendall and Stewy met at Buckley when they were kids
anyways, goodnight, felt the need to put that out there
"If the season starts with the character, in a sense, on top of the world, it’s as far down from that, as it could possibly be. At the same time, what’s so brilliant about the writing is that all of these experiences lead to what they call, in physics, a phase transition where there’s like a change from one state to another, and there continue to be these phase transitions, where there’s a change from one state to another. " - Jeremy Strong on Kendall in 'Succession' Season 3
oops I forgot to post this drawing, this is actually the... second drawing I did of succ... you can see right here how hard it hit my brain LOL.. anyway, see ya later
The more time passes, the more I think about Shiv.
Saw a great post about unspoken misogyny lately, with screenshots of comments mentioning that she's the worst character in the Succession (I'd have never assumed it, because hey, there's Greg... I just can't stand Greg).
And I've always thought that Sarah Snook's ability to create such an ambiguous character is amazing. It's hard to relate to Shiv, because she doesn't let us. She's learned how to protect herself. We'll never know her, not really.
I've had my thoughts about Shiv and the way she (and Rome) dimissided Ken's lifelong work so quickly, on a whim, and assumed they could be CEO just because Logan said so. It frustrates me, like it probably frustrated Ken. He did the work (the show suggests at least 5 years, including Shanghai, but Ken went to Harvard Business School and INSEAD, so in my headcanon his whole life was intertwined with Waystar, internships etc.). He tried, and tried, and he worked. And it didn't matter to his siblings. Shiv is smart, probably the smartest of them all, so how can she not see the irony?
But maybe... that's the point?
create your own reality
make a playground
the past is made up
Maybe Shiv gets it, because she's so much like Logan?
We know so little about Shiv's life before the show's beginning, it's wonderfully outrageous.
