rewatching mass in time of war and the whole shiv-kendall interaction where they're arguing over whether she knew about cruises and she's like i never got in the pool with any of those creeps and he's like yeah because dad let a gang of creeps run cruises and she's like no kendall because i was fifteen is just so. like interesting to me. it feels like one of very few direct, in-your-face reminders that shiv was both the only girl with three brothers but it wasn't just her brothers, she was a girl SURROUNDED by mainly men for most of her girlhood. and i think for all of kendall's posturing in that scene and his maybe-partly-authentic interest in dismantling the sexist abuse in waystar he has probably not considered that his only sister had an entirely different set of experiences considering he thinks a fifteen year old girl not getting in the pool with a bunch of grown men must mean she knew that those men were involved in large-scale sex crimes,,, and like whether she or any of them knew or not as children is a different conversation but i just think that scene is interesting from the perspective of like. we hear so little about their childhoods and it feels like a glimpse into the isolation of a girlhood without a present mother or sisters or anyone to guide you or contextualize your experiences. materially you have everything you could ever want but still you are profoundly alone

#this is not saying anything new this has all been discussed i'm sure #but you cant stop me from writing it out anyway !!!!!! #like the show engages with this peripherally i feel #with little throwaway lines like that #to me to ME it is very fascinating and very sad #shivposting

Tom trying to get back in with Shiv when she’s vulnerable. Shiv ignoring Tom until she feels like she’s in control again. I have a stomachache.

Why don't we as a society talk about Shiv using a cute puppy-dog face to get Kendall to do stuff

#how much did she do that when they were kids #kendall is just powerless to her big eyes #i know she used it to ride shotgun in the car #it doesnt work on roman tho she just had to punch him #shivposting #siobhan roy #succession

@shivposting

Oh.

'I don't work here.' So don't ask me to do shit. She doesn't have one of those little badges you have to swipe on the way into the building, either, but it hasn't stopped her from helping herself to coffee and donuts.

'There's more.'

very very new to your blog, do you mind me asking for a quick guide to your tags and what they refer to? hope you have a great day!!

yes my silly tagging system. i tried just using characters' names for like a week when i made this blog but it was useless because i could never remember where i'd put any post that wasn't just a single-character post. anyway:

it's a closed loop system -- bodily fluids / humours, piss motif; purgation & catharsis

if i get the shits we're fucked -- bathroom motif; sanitation, repression, & society

blood sacrifice -- catholicism & other roy anachronisms; metaphorical vampirism & gothicism; capitalism & capitalist subjectivity; general family politics; most stewyposting

tripping the light fantastic -- politics, rhetoric, & spectacle; fascism, masculinity, & homonationalism; mencken & matsson

you eat me i eat you -- food-sex issues; metaphorical cannibalism; most romanposting

a sandpit for emergent behaviour -- business-sex issues; drugs; most kendallposting

stop sending people your blood -- tomshiv; most shivposting

he doesn't even trust water -- succession gender politics & body politics; most loganposting

the spilling of good seed -- virility; the political economy of cum; most connorposting

so i realize it's january 2024 and this show ended 800 years ago but. who else up wondering if shiv liked the nickname shiv when her family first started calling her it. when she was a kid. if she knew her name meant makeshift weapon used to maim or kill. did she always know because they joked about it. did she learn its meaning and be not sure. did she eventually grow to accept it. did she grow to mold herself around her sharp edges because that's her identity it is literally her name. shiv. idk

Hi i got annoyed with the video I first posted so here it is again re-edited

#succession #tomshiv #succession edit #shiv roy #tom wambsgans #shivposting #edit #mine #fixed the timing on some stuff #also lowered the volume bc wow it was high which I did not notice the first time around. #it may still be a bit too high oops. #did I fix the coloring? perhaps. perhaps not. but I certainly changed it. #and the end was too abrupt for me esp bc tumblr loops videos so I stretched it out just a bit.

real weird takes happening over in the succession shivposting fb group

#after i called these dudes out for weirdo takes the first one told me i was weird for defending a fictional characters trauma #and then said roman actually isn’t traumatized and he’s not a sympathetic character #imagine misunderstanding the point of succession/roman so much #couldn’t be me #roman roy #succession #succession spoilers

shivposting again to say i lovedddd the little marcia interaction she had at logan's internment. so much of shiv's whole deal with logan, and caroline as well, has been about shiv's relationship to them and therefore about them as they exist in relation to shiv. dad. mom. the family you know? and for shiv there has always been the sense that when times get tough the family can close ranks against quite literally anyone else, because ultimately the roy family are a unit together. they are her—the—world. the permanent structures on her playground. obviously that has been complicated by several happenings (logan and caroline going around them, kendall and roman scheming behind her back) but shiv's eulogy is what started to open this up in terms of logan, stating that he was hard on her, hard on women, hard on other women too. then to ask karl & frank how bad was he? for an objective POV as to how logan existed in the world around them, which i think is a question that loops back to her as she is losing her brothers to this fight for the top spot, yknow, that as the safety net of logan and sisterhood and daughterhood gets drawn away how will she exist in this new paradigm? as other people become her allies and safe places, now that their opinions on her will actually matter for once, what will she be? not widely liked, she tells matsson of herself.

but marcia! the marcia moment! he broke my heart. he broke yours too. it's that camaraderie from someone shiv never saw as an equal. one of logan's many women, been done, boring. but marcia mattered enough that logan could hurt her. hurt her in the way he hurt shiv. if the love is what makes the hurt real, remembering that shiv saying she never loved tom or never should've loved tom is how shiv comforts herself through the hurt they cause each other, then logan loved marcia enough to hurt her—

an affirmation that shiv, too, can hurt other people. love other people. the insulation of her family doesn't protect shiv not will it protect anyone from her. logan is dead and play time is over.
