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

On my fourth rewatch of Succession, I noticed that during the first episode after his son; Roman Roy promises to give the child 1 million dollars for hitting a home run, only to rip it in his face when he doesn’t make it, Logan Roy is visibly disgusted and goes to comfort the child afterwards, telling them that it was  “magnificent”. However, as the series goes on you understand that Roman was mirroring his father’s behavior towards him and his siblings as Logan Roy promises each of them the CEO position to the company that he worked hard to build if they can step up to the plate and run all the bases. But when they fall short of his expectations, he rips their hopes of becoming CEO right in front of them by offering the position to another one of his child or threatening to hand the company over to someone outside the family. 

The major difference between these two scenarios is that whenever one of his children steps up to help keep the company afloat in a significant way such as Kendall solving the debt issue and Shiv making a deal with Sandi during the shareholder meeting, Logan Roy immediately shuns them and doesn’t validate the effort they made to save the company unlike when he validates the boy’s effort for the home run. This points back to Kendall’s quote in the Family Therapy episode (Austerlitz) in which he says to Logan “You are so jealous of what you have given your own kids. You just can’t handle it.” Logan Roy can sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the outside boy’s effort because he understands the boy’s perspective on money due to coming from humble beginnings himself. On the other hand, he can’t extend the same sentiments to his own children because he resents how they have grown up in materialistic luxury that wasn’t afforded to him in his youth.

I never noticed this before, but in Austerlitz when Logan runs at Kendall like he might hit him, Roman tries to reach out and stop him.

The only other time we see Roman actually try to fight back or intervene is when Kendall tries to grab Shiv in the finale.

#i feel totally normal about this #it's pretty innocuous at this point in the story but with the added context that Roman was the primary target for Logan's physical #abuse and the fact that he never once tries to fight back when someone's trying to hurt him (play fighting with shiv is obviously #different) it suddenly becomes a lot more significant #i slowed the clip down a bit so you could track the movement #like he just stands there with his hands by his sides while kendall digs his fingers in his face and does nothing to stop him until kendall #tries to grab shiv #and he obviously never tries to defend himself against logan and straight up pretends he never hit him but when he thinks his dad might #attack kendall he actually tries to stop him #it's tentative and he steps back after a moment but his instinct was still to try and intervene which he never does for a second #when someone tries to seriously hurt him #there's a lot here #also adds to the whole 'kendall becoming logan' thing #roman roy #austerlitz #logan roy #kendall roy

For instance, if I am walking through the city and look into one of those quiet courtyards where nothing has changed for decades, I feel, almost physically, the current of time slowing down in the gravitational field of oblivion. It seems to me then as if all the moments of our life occupy the same space, as if future events already existed and were only waiting for us to find our way to them at last, just as when we have accepted an invitation we duly arrive in a certain house at a given time. And might it not be, continued Austerlitz, that we also have appointments to keep in the past, in what has gone before and is for the most part extinguished, and must go there in search of places and people who have some connection with us on the far side of time, so to speak?

— W.G. Sebald, from "Austerlitz"

An innate desire to “arrest the passage of time”.

“We have a note from an anonymous Bremen townsman: "Murat seemed a friend of good cuisine, and after Talleyrand, for whose household many eggs had to be delivered, his table was particularly full.”

Found this interesting bit in a text about french army in Brno, food shortages during the war and about the overall impact of Austerlitz

Something for @joachimnapoleon 😉

Horror of horrors, I'm becoming obsessed with Napoleon. Don't get me wrong, I hate the guy. I just can't stop thinking about him. Like, the battle of Austerlitz 1805? Fucking mental stuff, ruthless tactics. It was so calculated, it's almost satisfying thinking about his plans falling into place. It was obviously awful (as wars generally are) in bringing about so many losses, and fun fact, he actually drowned about 2000 people. How insane is that?! But bloody hell, I will never not be utterly fascinated by him.

Am I Marius? Has it finally happened to me? Is this how he felt? Was his neurodivergent brain also tingling and jingling with intrigue?
