thinking about connor in prague saying "dad's theory was you got two fighting dogs, you send the weak one away, you punish the weak one." in relation to this episode, and the way the siblings view abuse inside their own family.

shiv and kendall and their belief that connor and roman are the weak dogs that got the brunt of logan's worst behavior, because abuse is reserved for the kids who can't behave - the ones who aren't smart and mature enough to make it in the world. abuse evokes pity, because abuse is what happens when you expect too much from people who obviously aren't capable of more.

and then they go forward in life, believing that they're just naturally more intelligent and more capable than connor and roman, as if being raised seeing what happens to you if you aren't a perfect child wasn't the entire point of the "punish the weak dog" mentality that logan instilled in them. the looming threat implied behind any praise they do receive that tacitly tells them "you're not like roman and connor" because everyone knows what happens to roman and connor.

the absolute height of the rich capitalist mindset. "we're succeeding because of our own merit, and other people fail because they don't have what it takes" when in reality they're succeeding because of arbitrary rules made up by someone who knows that infighting makes meaner dogs.

#he's literally putting them in a position where admitting that he abused them #forces them to admit that they're 'weak dogs' just like roman and connor #and that's SO antithetical to their own image of themselves that it would destabilize their entire worldview to admit that #and so they're stuck in this state of being able to admit that their dad IS abusive and he IS an asshole #but are absolutely unable to view themselves as receiving of that abuse #because being abused means being a victim. and victims are weak people who get fucked over.#and if they're weak people than how are they ever going to beat their dad?#they're so wrapped up in the worldview logan raised them in that they're completely unable to see #that he's set them up in a game they can't win #you can't heal from abuse if you can't admit that the things that happened to you were abuse in the first place #succession #also you may be asking 'vinnie didn't you make a post just like this last night'#and the answer is yes. but i'm still thinking about it. so.

Wait...I'm a little confused, wasn't Yuuta's father the leader of a cult or something like that? Then, do Yuuta and Tatsuya have this in common? Or are they related in some way?

(Sorry if this ask is a spoiler!)

I-I completely forgot I said that Yuuta's father is a cult leader Hahahaha.... hahahaa... Uhhh yes, you're onto something.

the thing abt the roman empire trend is it was very funny when it was ppl asking their white cishet husbands/fathers/brothers how much they thought abt it bc it was like. a subtle dig abt how a lot of white cishet men are very obsessed w war in history and nothing else and glorify an era that they saw as hypermasculine and White

like it started out good it started out funny

it got annoying when people started going "omg what's the roman empire For Girls? it's (poetry/bridgerton/ex best friend)"

like no I'm sorry the equivalent For Girls™️ (aka cishet white women as a critique) would be true crime. like in the same way cishet white men think obsessively abt war and hypermasculine periods of history, cishet white women obsess over true crime very unethically despite numerous victims and family of victims talking abt how harmful the true crime community is. they are obsessed with the violent death/rape/torture of people without regard to their real lives or their families. THAT is the "girl roman empire" and it has the same tongue in cheek critique as the og

but noooo we just wanna say War Is For Men and Poetry Is For Women bc the white cishet women missed the joke and just wanted to recreate "girls go to college to get more knowledge boys go to jupiter to get more stupider" but in their 30s

like it's not that serious I know but. I'm autistic and I notice these things lmao.

#frankly im mad bc I was enjoying the roman empire thing it made me chuckle I love making fun of when men are being assholes #but. then it just turned into Gender Roles 2 #and I'm like NOOOO WE WERE ONTO SOMETHING HERE #and ofc like the og joke and criticism didn't even preclude women thinking abt the roman empire #it was specifically like the same way we make fun of men only ever caring abt ww2 in a freak sort of way #but the way it went quickly turned into #why would women think abt the roman empire when they're too busy thinking abt romance #like please god. enough.

Leon didn"t know what was happening. Everyone around him was getting older. Just not him. Everyone around him was dying and changing. Just not him.

He was waiting for this. He was really looking forward to this. Maybe it will be calmer on the other side. Maybe on the other side the two people he was used to hating each other so much would call each other names. Maybe on the other side he could be again...idk a happy teenager in Camelot

But no. It didn't come. He didn't know why. He didn't age. He wasn't dying. He tried but to no avail. Years passed, a year, decades and then centuries. He was forced to get used to the changing world around him. He had to constantly work, earn money and learn new things. It was...too much. Sometimes he heard rumors that he wasn't the only one. Merlin. Merlin according to rumors, was alive . But Leon didn't know if he wanted to see him. And so centuries passed. Leon was tired. Really tired. Despite everything, he went to college and set up his own psychology practice. Helping people always gave him satisfaction. He tried the police or the army but ..it was too much for his nerves. Especially after all the wars he took part in.

Dr. Leon Kringen. That's what the sign on the door said.The door openen A tall man with probably a child. He frowned. Well, an old man can forget about an appointment. He glanced at the computer (what a funny invention). The older man forced the teenager to sit down with a sudden movement. Blue-eyed, blonde,a little furious and a little...scared teenager. It was sad to watch this interaction once again. Well, apparently centuries won't change some people

"Hello Mr. Pendragon"

#immortal Sir Leon #my roman empire #I mean merlin could simply go into depression in some mountains and leon was forced to acclimatize again and again #he didn't even know why he couldn't die #just let him die in peace #uther is an asshole in ever century #arthur is just a problematic teenager #leon has to watch a pure soul get fucking corrupted again #BUT AT LEAST HE CAN HIT UTHER #sir leon #merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc

THREE CHEERS FOR THE FOUNDATION OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC! or LUCIUS JUNIUS BRUTUS AND THE CORPSES OF HIS SONS

As soon, then, as it was day, Brutus seated himself upon the tribunal and examined the letters of the conspirators; and when he found those written by his sons, each of which he recognized by the seals, and, after he had broken the seals, by the handwriting, he first ordered both letters to be read by the secretary in the hearing of all who were present, and then commanded his sons to speak if they had anything to say. But when neither of them dared resort to shameless denial, but both wept, having long since convicted themselves, Brutus, after a short pause, rose up and commanding silence, while everyone was waiting to learn what sentence he would pronounce, said he condemned his sons to death. Whereupon they all cried out, indignant that such a man should be punished by the death of his sons, and they wished to spare the lives of the youths as a favour to their father. But he, paying no heed to either their cries or their lamentations, ordered the lictors to lead the youths away, though they wept and begged and called upon him in the most tender terms. Even this seemed astonishing to everybody, that he did not yield at all to either the entreaties of the citizens or the laments of his sons; but much more astonishing still was his relentlessness with regard to their punishment. For he neither permitted his sons to be led away to any other place and put to death out of sight of the public, nor did he himself, in order to avoid the dreadful spectacle, withdraw from the Forum till after they had been punished; nor did he allow them to undergo the doom pronounced against them without ignominy, but he caused every detail of the punishment established by the laws and customs against malefactors to be observed, and only after they had been scourged in the Forum in the sight of all the citizens, he himself being present when all this was done, did he then allow their heads to be cut off with the axes. But the most extraordinary and the most astonishing part of his behaviour was that he did not once avert his gaze nor shed a tear, and while all the rest who were present at this sad spectacle wept, he was the only person who was observed not to lament the fate of his sons, nor to pity himself for the desolation that was coming upon his house, nor to betray any other signs of weakness, but without a tear, without a groan, without once shifting his gaze, he bore his calamity with a stout heart.

-Roman Antiquities, Dionysius of Halicarnassus

something about how every turn of rome is founded on acts of violence, death, spectacle, and sacrifice. like, it’s all corpses, all the way down, forever. something else about how the foundation of the republic was very. oof. a lot of familial violence was going on in there.

also I can’t believe I’ve never drawn lucius junius brutus before, given all the weird shit I’ve said about marcus junius brutus and ancestral hauntings.

Recently rewatched The Great Outdoors, and I freaking love Roman. The morning scene where you see Roman practically laying one top of Katie while they sleep has got me envious. The things I would do to have him laying on me like that. 🥴 I'm gonna have to get ahold of a screenshot of that scene, but I'd kill for a gif. 🤭 If I can make one myself I will. 😏

#Roman craig #the great outdoors #dan aykroyd #gif #i'm in love with him #he's such an asshole #but I still want him #ugh 😩😩😩
