Roman Roy and the drivers license he only uses when he has to pick up his big brother from a drug playdate.

#like why can he drive #how can he drive #clearly he’s not that confident at he but he didn’t commit vehicular manslaughter #unlike somebody #roman roy #succession #austerlitz

Genuinely confused as to how so much of the fandom watched the first 2 CR campaigns and Calamity and yet still ended up in a “Ludinus is right let’s kill all the gods” position. Like it’s baffling to me how much content/context people have just decided to completely forget? We had 2 full campaigns of very positive interactions with the gods and the moment there’s some hypothetical and interesting musing and speculation about their roles in the world from a more disconnected place we’re just throwing that out the window?*

Tbh the number of people who watched episode 4 of Calamity and still saw Asmodeus as sympathetic or having a legitimate point is unsettling to me, but while that’s a related issue it’s not quite the same conversation.

But like legitimately how did we so quickly make a hard turn from “The Stormlord teaches his barbarians to use the power of friendship, he’s a funny kindergarten teacher” memes to…this.

*(This is not, btw a comment on the characters having philosophical debates in-world because I think those are interesting and on-theme for the campaign and are also nearly always concluding with “our personal relationship to individual gods and feelings about them are irrelevant actually, the people trying to destroy them are doing wider harm and are in the wrong and must be stopped.” I’m actually loving the engagement with this by the characters in-universe but the fandom is exhausting me.)

#people stop engaging with all fantasy religion like it’s the same as bigoted evangelical American Christianity challenge #oh also the ‘the gods are colonial invaders’ take is also super weird to me because that’s applying recent human history to what is #basically standard like Greek or Roman creation myth? #like a ton of European pagan lore has a ‘the gods we worship came from afar and tamed the wilds of nature’ narrative #it is a metaphor #cr discourse #legit saw someone this morning confidently posting ‘well Ludinus just is right though!’ and I wanted to close down the whole internet #critical role

Modern crystal healing: It opens your ~chakras~ you will attract ~abundance~ you will ~connect with the universe~

Medieval crystal healing: This shit makes you invisible, stops your periods from hurting, and makes your husband love you.

#chatter #Yes those are all taken from real medieval descriptions of crystals. #I can't remember the last one but the first two are topaz and carnelian. #I prefer older crystal healing sources I will not lie. #Its the fact that they're less vague and more confident about their assumptions. #I have read modern (70s) crystal healing books and they are INCOMPREHENSIBLE. #The thing about these books from the 70s is that if you follow the citation chain of modern books they all lead back to them. #I don't know how you could get any useful information from Healing “diamonds are so strong they cause cancer” Stoned. #Want medieval rock information? #Hildegarde von Bingen's Physica and Albert the Great's De Mineralibus. #English translations: Priscilla Throop and Dorothy Wyckoff respectively because I've read those. #Physica includes a lot more than crystals and Throop's translation is easy to read so I recommend it in general. #Wyckoff's De Mineralibus contains a lot of interesting footnotes that explain what Albert could've been referring to. #Because shockingly in a society without ways to definitively test minerals sometimes every green rock is an emerald. #Bonus: Want some Roman crystal knowledge? Pliny the Elder's Natural History volume 11. #|| #witch #witchblr #witch memes #witchcraft #crystal witch #crystals #witch meme

Kieran Culkin on Roman's intelligence and how that intersects with confidence. (x)

#Roman's confidence (or lack thereof in certain circumstances) fascinates me because it seems so dependent on who he's talking to #he clearly thought he was smart about the studio but...if the turkey movie is anything to go on... #Kieran has talked about the Roman's time in the studio a few times max and I wish more interviews would ask about it #I would pay to see what Roman's reign in LA was like #anyway #roman roy #hbo succession #succession #cast interviews #kieran culkin

Roman: How do you sleep at night knowing people don’t like you?

Remus: In the nude, in case they want to kiss my ass.

#he’s such a boss #the confidence #he’s something I could never be in real life #In your face and telling it like it is #not always nice but something to admire for sure #thomas sanders #sanders sides #incorrect sanders sides #roman sanders #ts roman #remus sanders #ts remus #creativitwins

succession (2018-2023), s4.10, "with open eyes" // s1.06 "which side are you on?"

"I like and respect every one of you, but, uh, no one's gonna have their mind changed in here. Right? So I suggest we move on to the vote." "Fine. Okay. Vote."

#'that's fucking right' #'roman for me' #that complete confidence that they will win the vote; the self-satisfaction in being able to get roman to do their bidding #obviously kendall isn't laying on the kind of blatant pressure and threat logan is #but i think that there is a pressure there and the look shiv gives roman tells of that pressure #as well as roman's hesitation and reluctance in both instances #also i think part of kendall's satisfaction is based in roman changing his mind last minute in the vote of no confidence #finally. he has that loyalty and control #i can hear logan saying 'that's fucking right' #maybe he even does at some point #succession #succession spoilers #tvedit #successionedit #roman roy #logan roy #kendall roy #parallels

long live the king! and the other king!

#succession #roman roy #kendall roy #that’s right everybody. i made shirts. get ready for me to be the most annoying person in the world about them #i can confidently say that wearing the one i made for myself is the greatest joy of my life rn #so for that reason alone i have to recommend you check them out #i also can’t express how desperate i am to make more designs but i need some extra dollars first so … #give me money. money me. money now. me a money needing a lot now

[clowndensation]

"i'm not sure he can change" "he can fucking change" <- words roman has definitely heard before as a child

#succession scripts #vote of no confidence episode of all time. sick to my stomach just reading it and thinking of roman's face </3

[overbearingstruggles]

Damn I went from giddy to how sweet it is to see the siblings cooperating and being honest with each other to mad Roman is getting undercut every which way when he’s right and legitimately trying to exit the company abuse cycle

#hurted my own feelings after thinking too long #he’s so comfortable and confident and he’s not just being flippant and annoying and no one is trying to listen #we’re doomed #Succession #Roman Roy

the bonus scenes in the featurettes of series 6 are so precious to me and the way 11 can be kind to his companions i think is very often what i subconsciously model my scenes of the doctor being kind on

hes is so intuitive. he has so much tact. and he always has exactly the right reassuring thing to say that you'd want to hear from someone who has lived for centuries and seen most of the universe

it's also why i dont buy the socially awkward thing at all. yes their inclinations and tendencies vary between regenerations, and theres slow change over the course of the decades, but i think mainly what varies is how they present themselves. same software, different casing. 12 is meaner but not fundamentally different than the one that came before him. neither is 13. what changes is the choices they make. 13 cant or wont engage with her companions the way 11 does with his because losing them hurt so much (and not just 11&his obvs like im not saying 13 is the result of 11, 13 is the result of 12, but 12 is the result of 11 and theyre a russian doll you get it)

also with 11 i think it goes nicely with those scenes where he gets mad at his companions, where they disappoint him or he feels betrayed. his emotions go deep. he loves deeply. and hes not afraid to

#everytime i rewatch any previous doctor im always like oh yes this is what i love about them #im looking for a scene im pretty sure exists but i might have some details wrong bc i cant find it #but it's where 11 talks to rory abt being a plastic roman for 2000 years #and he says he cant remember it and 11 is like 'sometimes you do. always the way with things we'd rather forget' #im fairly confident that line exists but not that it exists in the scene im thinking of #i might be combining multiple scenes in my head #bc i did just find where 11 talks to AMY about rory being a roman #and shes like 'he says he barely remembers it' and 11 is like 'yes but sometimes you catch him just staring' #but he doesnt say the other thing #now im thinking maybe someone else says this to 11? #i cant find it with ctrl+f in any of the transcripts between the pandorica opens and angels take manhattan #so now im looking in the bonus scenes

head in my hands I have two papers to peer-review and the first is Already Bad

#distant citrus sounds #I have scrolled through it and read one full sentence and it's already not like. fulfilling the basic requirements autistic professor set #he went 'max four pages MAYBE five but I strongly recommend you don't' and this one is six pages #it's in a weird fucking font too? like it's legible but where tf did you find 'aptos'. what font is this. #at this point in college how do you not just default to times new roman for papers. #the formatting is all fucked too #my ONLY consolation is I can confidently say it's not AI generated

You know, maybe the dream is to be a fucked up little bodyguard for a fucked up boss, and to be able to say ‘hey there, boss, easy now’ and rub their shoulders homoerotically, and to have them look into your eyes as your hands are stained in blood and have them say “good work” as they smile at you, and you lean on each other because you know you can be weak with them, and they hold every broken fucked up part of you and accept it, and everyone sees you and thinks ‘are they…? No. Maybe?? No… they’ve gotta be!! No…”

Maybe the dream is loyalty love and devotion stained in blood and fealty.

#wrote this after seeing zsasz and roman sionis in birds of prey #why can’t I have what they have #I will be your sword shield and confidant #I will be what keeps you sane and drives you to madness #I will cut the faces off of your enemies #I will take my blade to your skin so gently #because I’d never hurt you and you know that and we love each other #god… #victor zsasz #dc #birds of prey #goals #love #devotion
