#The Romans more went

[percabeth4life]

Does anybody else find it kinda fucked up how Rick said that the Romans knew there had been Greek demigods at one point and that the reason they thought there weren't anymore is because they thought Rome "Perfected" the gods? Like, sir what the fuck?

So true- it's such a mess like that is literally not how it worked the Romans were an entirely different religion and set of beliefs- they just associated with and "borrowed" from the Greeks a whole lot. It's both fucked up and a gross misunderstanding of how that worked.

#The Romans more went #your gods are our gods just different! So you're good #They just slid other religions into their own like that and went thats good enough #anon asks #life answers #rr crit #new rome crit #nr crit #hoo #new rome

Point for the Roman and Shiv twin truthers

#i still think they're not and roman is 2ish years older (if they were twins they definitely would have made a joke about eating each other #in the womb) but i see the vision #and this joke and her response make way more sense if they actually are twins #their whole relationship has the vibe of the two kids left squabbling in the back seat while kendall sits with the big kids #i think that's why their relationship seems the most consistent of all the kids. they were stuck around each other the most so there's more #of a foundation #succession #roman roy #shiv roy #siobhan roy #i went to market

Jesse explaining that although all three boys generally experienced the same physical abuse, Roman has internalized his experience as a victim in a different way than Kendall and Connor.   

“I would suggest Logan would have cuffed and hit all the boys at different times in their lives.  I think the difference for Roman maybe is that he feels like he was bullied in the domestic environment and so we can all react to things in different ways. I think Connor and Kendall probably have experienced that and have managed to accommodate it without it being a big part of their psychology whereas I think Roman being that beaten dog and being - there’s often a dynamic isn’t there with bullied people as sort of needing the feeling of negative attention that you get from that and I think he’s become, not addicted to it, but related to it.” 

Excerpt from Firecrotch and Normcore: They Like to Watch (recorded at Edinburgh Fringe Festival) – Aug. 29, 2023

#I haven’t seen it circulate tumblr so I’m not sure how popular this take is here #but I think it fits when you think about Austerlitz and the scripts from The Disruptor and Honeymoon States #I really do wonder so much about Connor’s childhood though #like what on Earth went on in that house while Logan was on his way up #I can see it being both worse and better because on the one hand there’s no one watching but on the other hand…there’s no one watching #Man I wish we had more Connor lore #also endlessly fascinated by Roman’s victim complex #roman roy #kendall roy #logan roy #connor roy #hbo succession #jesse armstrong #cw abuse #cw parental abuse #cw physical abuse

I'm thinking about how even before anything, back in the second episode of season one, roman suggested Gerri for interim CEO. and how when Roman walked up and asked Gerri how she was doing she gave him a real answer, that it was weird to be in the hospital where her husband had died. They started with a surprisingly easy gentleness about them.

#i can never decide how much i think gerri was around the kids growing up #but its hilarious that she has more tolerance for roman than for kendall in this ep #and gerri wasnt their first choice but a choice roman felt solid enough about to even volunteer to talk to her... #but he also didnt know her enough to remember her husband died? #i just cant reconcile how much they probably interacted/what their most recent interactions were before roman went back at the start of s1 #succession #roman roy

General HCs on what is like to be Black Mask's parnter? And the man himself too? Thanks <3

Black Mask Romance and General HCs

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Time to brush your man up and out of the dumpster, friend!

TW: Unhealthy/controlling romance dynamics, BDSM, violence, smut

Trust Issues. Roman had a lot of things happen as a kid due to parental neglect and was constantly made to "toughen up" via double crossing or outright emotional abuse by his family. Then his previous partner abandoned him after he went to the criminal life. He has SO MANY trust issues that you'll either double cross him, poison him, something or other-

It feeds into a controlling nature he has concerning everything: Business, the underworld and now you! He wants to know where you are at all times, about your friends, your family. He's not such an asshole that he would tell you who to see and not see, but he has ways of making you unavailable if he decides he doesn't like someone...

Other people NEED to know that you are his. I briefly touched on this in the general kink post, but he would do the 24/7 BDSM aligned Master/sub dynamic with you in a collar if you were down. Public sex and fondling where his goons or underworld powers could see. If there's no collars, he's definitely marking you up. If you let his ego get away with cockwarming during a meeting, he'll do it. Honestly, if you don't set hard boundaries, he can and will get degrading during sex. Depends on if that does it for you!

If you DO set boundaries, though, he will respect them. Might take you telling him you're serious, but he will. Especially once he's fond of you and it's not just about sex. You potentially getting done with his shit and leaving is a threat he doesn't take lightly.

If there is any aftercare that needs to be done, he'll take you somewhere privately and make sure you're taken care of. It's probably one of the few instances you'll see a truly softer side where he's genuine, sincere and gentle. He knows the importance of fixing his things after breaking them down.

On more of a relationship standpoint, you'll be well taken care of with him. Nice clothes, fancy shit, but a strict budget on what you can ask for. And don't expect him to slip just for a pretty face. He used to work in cosmetics, he's seen beauty- it's fucking worthless and can disappear in an instant.

Be ready to be cool and collected when he loses his temper, something that happens more often than not. He'll throw things, knock goons on their ass, pull out a gun and threaten people- not you, doll, these FUCKING knuckleheads- he might fire a shot for proof into the ceiling. Hope you aren't prone to anxiety or anything!

That anger and rage does sometimes translate into the bedroom which can lead to some pretty passionate rough sex. You'll be sore after but by god, he'll make sure you're satisfied.

If anyone ever tries to fuck with you, they'll end up a bloody puddle. He'll make them suffer and let you watch and participate if you really want. If not, he's more than happy to have his fun on his own.

There's only a few things that are soft spots in terms of his life: His father, his mistake at Janus Cosmetics that caused hundreds of women to be disfigured and the failure of said company after, and his face under the mask. Don't ask about his face under the mask. As far as he's concerned, the ebony wood-metal combo skull mask that covers his whole head IS his face. You can see the outline of his burned lips just under the "teeth" of the death's head skull. He carved it from his father's casket and it became fused to his flesh after a fire during his first true criminal outing against Bruce Wayne/Batman. Sore subject.

You'll likely get caught up in his criminal business one way or another. Either to earn his trust in some way or by accident because uh hey babe, I don't mean to bug you but I'm kind of prison again-

Overall, it's never a boring time dating Black Mask.

#black mask #black mask x reader #foxwriting #smut #I went more romance/relationship in this vs background but i tried to sprinkle stuff in there #certain things i didn't stray too far from comics such as the carved mask because lets be real that's metal as fuck #we're not giving this man rabies though #roman sionis

Alternate version + lore under the cut

I've had this thing finished for about a month now. Sooo I figured it was time high time for me to properly introduce this boy to you all! His name is Times New Roman or otherwise know as Frak and Merl's hubband.

Ok now with the introduction over on with the actual lore! Roman is from an au I made with my friend @smokbeast called Betatale. (You can see more about Merl, Frak, Roman and a buncha other characters on his blog, go check it out!) As the name says, Roman is meant to be from some sorta beta of Undertale. He sorta had Sans' place in his au, but not entirely, he's def his own thing. He is not a sans, and he is not in any way related to Frak. His family is all dead thank you very much. Much like Sans he only has one hp, but that's due to his lil condition. He was born with an immense amount of magic which his soul and body is way too weak to hold. So he's on perma hardcore mode, one hit one kill. (Well- most of the time ;3) Roman has the power to travel the multiverse. It takes a lot outta him and he isn't able to do it without touching Frak. Mostly because it wouldn't be possible without his other half, but also cuz Roman wouldn't even attempt to go anywhere far without him. (Merl came into their lives after me and Smoki had traumatized these two so much they refuse to not be near eachother pretty much constantly anymore).

Roman is the token 'extrovert' outta him and Frak. On the outside he's very friendly and disarming. Bro will attempt to charm his way into just about anyone's good graces. He jokes and jabbers, easily sliding on the mask of a well adjusted monster. (Something he defiantly is not). Oh also he's 5'0, my boy is short short. Roman's an artist and he tends to sketch the people around him a lot, like some sorta romance movie main character. (His sketchbook mostly consists of Frak and Merl but don't tell them that-) A lotta his quiet time is spent drawing, tinkering with random machines, or talking his beloved's (proverbial) ears off about his latest ideas. I almost forgot to talk about his attacks- how silly of me. Ok so my boy's head is basically a Gaster Blaster, from which he can admit devastating blasts of magic. It's his most dangerous weapon, and something he can easily manage to do with his high levels of magic.

Mostly he just tries to stay outta range so he has time to snipe a hit with his blast attack. Staying out of range often means hiding behind Frak, who he stays very close to in battle. Mostly it's so Roman can lead an enemy into one of Frak's attacks or heal him. Speaking of which! Roman has a kindness/patience soul. He just likes to pretend that his only soul trait is patience because I traumatized him of course. Alrighty, I think I'm done for now- if you read all that I'ma give you the biggest pat on the back. Feel free to send me asks about him! The aus I have with Smoki are seriously my biggest brainrot atm.

#This is prolly one of my longest posts to date daum #I went a lil bit feral there #But yeah if anyone has any questions or anything feel free to shoot me an ask! #I will happily lore dump #I'll prolly be posting more about Roman Frak Merl and everyone else soon #I'd post more art of them but I honestly havent had much time to draw for a hot minute #bookcat draws #roman oc #undertale ocs #undertale au #betatale #friend ocs #Frak oc #Merl oc

Such Nights as This

pairing: roddy piper x f!reader

word count: 1759

warnings: mutual masturbation, phone sex, use of sex toys, daddy kink

the title is from the Roman poet Propertius describing his beloved: "while I live I am hers, hers will I be in death. But if she grants till then such nights as this to me, a single year would be a long life's span; and if she gives them often, I would never die: one night like this could make a man a god!"

-------------------------------------

When your phone rang, you didn’t hesitate for a second to answer it, knowing it would be Roddy. “Well, hello there.”

“Hey gorgeous.” His already-raspy voice was hoarse after a lengthy promo that night, and the sound swirled through your body. “How you doing tonight?”

You laid back on the bed to relax while talking. He had only been gone two days, but ever since you had moved in together and had gotten used to always having him around, his absences were all the more frustrating. The two of you caught up on everything that had happened since your last conversation (just last night), your work day and his show a couple hours earlier. 

“Babe, listen,” Roddy began, his voice deepening a touch. “I really miss you, you know that?”

“I know. I miss you a lot too. It won’t be much longer, though. It’s a short trip.”

“Yeah yeah. You know, I actually got my own room this time.”

“Yeah? That’s awesome. You don’t have to deal with anyone throwing pillows at you when you snore!”

“Ha ha, funny. But I can also do what I want. All by myself. As much as I want…”

“Roddy, you slut,” you jokingly chastised him. “With all that freedom I’m surprised you’re wasting your time talking to me.”

He lightly chuckled before continuing. “Listen, I want you to do something for me. It’s not what you think.” You paused, knowing he had more to say. “I mean, it kind of is what you think, but something else first.”

“Just tell me what it is, babe.” You couldn’t help smiling to yourself in anticipation.

“The dresser in our room. Go take a look in the bottom drawer, under the sweaters.”

What the hell did he have planned? Why did he want you to dig through a drawer? You sighed dramatically as you got up. “What am I looking for?”

“You’ll know when you see it. Trust me.” And he was right. Exactly where he had said, under the sweaters, was a small box, about half the size of a shoebox, with your name written on it in his scrawl. 

“Roddy… what is this?”

“Just open it, baby.” 

You did as instructed, and a small chuckle escaped your lips. You hadn’t known what you expected to find in the box, but in hindsight you probably should’ve expected the sex toy that now rested in your hands. “Jesus, Roddy, you got me a vibrator? And hid it from me?”

He scoffed. “Like I don’t know about your other one. This one’s for us.”

“For us? So you want me to use it on you?”

“Eh, let’s think about that some other time. Right now I want you to use it on yourself. I made sure it’s already charged.”

“Right now? Should… should I hang up?”

“Don’t ask silly questions, baby. I want to hear every little whimper you make once you turn that thing on. I’m already rock hard thinkin about it.” 

You let out a shaky breath and blinked quickly to clear your mind. Some tiny part of your brain felt nervous about the idea of using a sex toy while someone else was listening, even if that someone else was the love of your life. But some greater part of your brain smothered that thought, because you really really wanted to do this. “Alright. Do you have a specific plan for me?”

“Hmm… well you definitely should take all your clothes off. Not just your pants; everything.” As he spoke, you did what he instructed, setting the phone on speaker mode so you’d have both hands free. “Make sure you pile up the pillows and get yourself all nice and comfy.”

“What about you? Are you all nice and comfy too?”

“Of course. I’ve had my dick in my hand this whole time, just thinking about you all naked for me. Play with your nipples, pinch them a little. Do that little thing I do that you like so much.”

You knew what he meant, and you closed your eyes to imagine it was Roddy working you over instead of your own hands. As he continued his directions, you found it increasingly difficult to resist grabbing the vibrator, but you knew that the wait would be worth it. Even being in a different city, he had you obeying his every word, completely wrapped around his finger. Exactly the way you liked it.

“Alright, princess, how about you spread those gorgeous thighs for me? Don’t do anything yet, just spread ‘em. Good girl. Now just slide one finger in, and tell me how wet you are.”

“Mmm... so wet.”

“Yeah? Good. Taste yourself for me. Lick yourself off that finger and tell me how you taste.”

You moaned as you followed his command. “Tastes so good, Roddy. I wish you were here to taste it for yourself.”

Through the speaker you heard him sharply inhale. “Fuck, me too. When I get back I’m gonna make up for all this lost time. You got your special new toy ready?”

“Mmhmm.” You didn’t trust your voice; you were too caught up in the moment to be coherent.

“Good girl. Now you can turn it on, just to the first setting.” A low buzzing sound filled the room. “Nice, baby, that’s it. Go ahead and put it on that pretty pussy. Right around your clit.” 

“Oh fuck.” The words were out before you realized it. For such an average-sized toy, it certainly had some power to it. This is just the first setting? you thought to yourself. 

Roddy’s breathing sounded shaky already. “Don’t cum without me, babe,” you admonished him. 

“Wouldn’t dream of it. I just… you sound so good, my beautiful girl. I can picture you lying there on our bed, all soaking wet for me, playing with your clit and pretending it’s me. I know you look so fucking hot like that, baby.”

His words made you whimper. The vibrator felt great, but nothing felt as right as Roddy. “You still touching yourself?” you asked, suspecting you knew the answer already.

“Had to take a break.” He let out a breathy chuckle. “Hearing my girl had me almost ready to cum all over myself. Keep going - move it around, see how it feels on every part of your pussy, tell me about it.”

One hand was still on your breast, and you kept it there while you slowly traced the vibrator along your folds, pausing to press it to your entrance. The tease of penetration combined with the vibrating silicone drew a deep moan from you as your words failed.

“Oh I like that sound. You put it in a little bit, didn’t you?” You wordlessly agreed. “Good girl. Why don’t you work it in a little more? I bet that vibration feels so good inside you.”

All sorts of salacious utterances spilled from your lips as you slid the toy into your dripping pussy, feeling every sensation that it offered you. “Babe… please…” 

“What do you need, baby? Tell me.” 

Truthfully, you didn’t even know what you were pleading for. “I just need you, baby, I need you to fuck me.” 

“I will soon, as soon as I can. You know that. Can you do something for me?”

“Anything.”

“Click the little button on that toy. Put it up to the next level.”

Although you weren’t thrusting or really moving it at all, the added intensity set you on edge. “Fuck, oh fuck, I’m so… oh my god it feels so good.”

“Good, I like hearing that.” You could tell from his quavering tone that he had taken himself in hand again, softly groaning as he spoke. “Take the vibrator out.”

You nearly froze in surprise. “What? Why?”

“Just do it.” You did. “Here’s what you’re going to do now. You’re going to use it on your clit, drive yourself insane, okay baby? And you’re gonna use your fingers inside to make yourself feel even better. Start with two fingers. Can you do that for me?”

Your own voice trembled as you responded. “Yes, daddy.” 

Fuck. You hadn’t meant to say that. It had slipped out two or three times before, and you knew he was into it, but it still felt like a new and unfamiliar step. 

“Oh fuck, sweetheart. I need to hear you say it again.”

This time you spoke with more confidence. “Yes, daddy.” 

“God, you better be fucking yourself right now, because I’m not gonna make it much longer, hearing that. You doing what I said?”

“Mmhmm.”

“Good girl. Three fingers now, okay? Three fingers for daddy.”

There were no words to describe the moan you uttered when he said that. You quickly obeyed, easily sliding a third finger into your drenched hole. With your free hand, you positioned the vibrator directly on your clit, letting it send shivering currents through your overly sensitive body. 

“You sound so sexy, baby. I’m getting so close.” You noted the changes in his breath, and knew he wasn’t exaggerating. “Get yourself there for me, I want you to cum with me.” 

“I’m… fuck I’m so close. Please.” You were all but panting into the speaker at this point, desperate for release but wanting to time it perfectly with him.

“Good girl. Make yourself cum, baby, cum for me. Cum for daddy.” He was barely able to pronounce the final word, he was so close to the precipice.

Hearing Roddy call himself daddy once more was all you needed. You cried out all manner of unholy things as an intense orgasm slammed into you. “Oh fuck daddy, I’m coming for you, fuck-”

A hoarse groan on the other end of the phone let you know that he too had reached his peak. “That’s it, baby, I’m coming for you too. I’m… fuck yeah… oh my god…”

For the next moment, the only sounds were laborious breathing and weak whimpers as you both rode out the waves of pleasure, thinking only of each other. You blindly reached out for the vibrator you had dropped in the heat of the moment, making sure to switch it off.

“I fucking love you so much, baby,” Roddy breathed into the phone. “I really do.”

“I love you too.” 

He laughed suddenly. “Best purchase ever. It felt good?”

“So fucking good,” you answered honestly, then paused. “I still miss you, though. I wish you were here.”

“Me too, baby. I’ll be back soon, though, yeah? And you can show me all your tricks with your new toy.”

I really felt for Roman this episode. He was so excited for their new company and just wanted him and his siblings to strike out on their own - away from the shadow of their father for once - but was ultimately pressured into getting into another fight with their father and abandoning their original idea. He looked to Kendall in that first scene for guidance and validation about his branding opinions - clearly valuing his big brother's opinion amd maybe still doubting his own judgement. Then later he actually showed more wisdom and restraint when it came to their bid than Shiv and Kendall, but capitulated to their plan anyway (which will likely come back to bite them all in the butt). I'm interested to see where they take his character this season.. He's trying so hard to succeed with his siblings, but there is a lot working against him already 🥺

#succession #succession spoilers #roman roy #im usually a kendall girlie #but the focus on shiv and roman this episode really made me feel for them both #didn't get much of a peak into kendall's thinking this episode #so im hoping we get his perspective more in future eps #but i was impressed with how much i gave a shit about roman this ep #he def has scenes that really get me #like on the boat after he had just been held hostage and wanted to legitimately connect with his sibs #or how he comforted kendall after his confession #or how he went to get kendall from that random house where he was smoking meth or smth

So I started watching Succession somewhere between s2 n s3 and till yesterday, I was under the impression Rava Roy(?) is supposed to be of Indian descent (though why someone would name her after food idk) but then I saw some bts of s4 with the actress and I'm sure she's white or not idk 😂 Point is, can you tell if the kids are supposed to be adopted? (That's what was suggested in an article) like I'm so confused??? Are they biracial? Is her ethnicity ambiguous? I feel like maybe you might have the answer for me 😅

It's never explicitly stated, anon, but I'm pretty sure Rava is supposed to be Jewish.

Natalie Gold, the actress who plays her, is Jewish herself, and the name Rava actually has Hebrew origins dating back to around the year 300CE. Interestingly enough, it's actually traditionally a boy's name in Hebrew meaning a father, which feels pretty deliberate given the nature of the show. I think too that her being Jewish makes sense given the tension between her and Logan, and Kendall's hyper-sensitivity to Logan's anti-semitism, most notably in 3.04 which happened pretty quickly timeline-wise after Kendall retreated to (and took over) Rava's apartment when he didn't have anywhere else to go.

In that sense, I do think we're supposed to understand that Sophie is adopted, yes. I've talked about it on here before, but I tend to think that Iverson is biological, and it's that, plus him being a boy and white, that causes Logan to simultaneously dote on, weaponise and abuse Iverson more directly and visibly on screen than he does Sophie. As far as Logan's concerned, Iverson is the only heir beyond his children, and it's pretty clear that he's been found wanting. What that means for Sophie who is, of course, just as much Kendall and Rava's child, is open to speculation, but I think the show is deliberate in the way it focuses on Iverson and forces Sophie aside.

#i do tend to think kendall and rava didn't conceive as quickly as they anticipated which is probably why they adopted #my personal headcanon is actually similar to what a coworker of mine irl went through #which was that she had trouble conceiving and as soon as she and her husband started the adoption process they got pregnant #and so they had both and their kids have basically been raised as twins #and call themselves twins even though they're not #(they're like 16 now and they're v cute kiddos) #but yes #also interesting to me that rava is a traditionally masculine name while kendall is gender neutral leaning slightly more feminine #especially when paired with connor roman and shiv which are all pretty masculine or brutalist sounding names #it's fascinating! #look at me feeling my way back into succession meta haha #rava roy #kendall roy #sophie roy #iverson roy #hbo succession #succession asks #welcome to my ama

Roxy showing Cassie off to the Minis and they're like "Yep. One of us too."

So there's Cassie walking and a line of almost 400 Minis follow her like ducklings. Good luck getting close to her without being swarmed (unless you're Roxy.)

393 Minis, plus DJ and Roxy is 395 members of the Spider Army.

Roxy shows up one day with this traumatised child like "can we keep her?" and they all start having flashbacks. Their sad wet beast of a dog just brought home an equally sad wet child. It's easier this time cause they've probably met Cassie a few times already due to her close proximity with Roxy, but how does this keep happening???

They let her keep the child of course. They've not once ever been able to say no to Roxy, this is no different. Cassie is almost immediately absorbed into the tidal wave of robot spiders and she loves it about as much as Roxy did lmao

The Spider Army is now 396 members strong!

On another note, I have a setup in my head I'm using a lot at the moment where Roxy recharges Barney the Wood Duck (Foxy's animatronic bird companion. Not a parrot because I wanted something different, ya know?) so she's here now too. It wasn't her plan to do this, but she got attached to Barney remarkably quickly and thus, maybe months before this Cassie situation, she was asking the Spider Army if they could keep Barney as well.

So now I'm imagining her holding Cassie up to them with her puppy dog eyes that always work asking if they can keep her, while the Minis agree... But this is the last one, okay? No more little guys! She's got enough already! They can't keep every little guy that happens to be very very sad near them! She's gotta stop with the little guys now!

Anyway!!! Cassie could not be more protected. If you hurt any of them, they will find you. Roxy and DJ might not have the power to actually kill, but there's 393 Minis. You're telling me none of them could do it? Ha! I'm guessing at least fifty could do it. Literally anyone walks in that could be a risk to Cassie is getting physically walled off from her. Several stacks of spiders in a row between them and Cassie and the rest are beginning to appear in the shadows all around them. It's only a matter of time before they swarm and take them away... Or get Roxy.

Nsjdjdi one of them running off to Roxy like "hey we got a problem. That guy that hurt Cassie is back. We're dealing with it, but can you take Cassie somewhere else please? Just in case? She'll want you by her side if anything happens." And whole Roxy would normally rush to get rid of the guy, she nods, wishes them good luck and tells them where she's taking Cassie. The Spider Army will deal with it. She trusts them implicitly.

And they always bring back the best stories of what went down so more than happy to let them take care of it lmao

#pop rox answers #psh as if they could ever say no to her asking to keep more little guys... #their weird little fucked up dog just went and adopted a weird little fucked up child and a weird little fucked up bird #this can't keep happening okay?? they're putting their foot down!! <- lies #oh my god what if the minis end up rivals with the cupcakes?? lmao djdjjs #like the cowboys and the romans from night at the museum bsjdjdj

#stranger things #will byers #byler #mike wheeler #i used the fist pic bc im pretty sure this is when she says ‘i dont want you to feel like you cant tell me things’ #and stuff like ‘you dont have to be afraid to share yourself with me im mother i love you’ #second is of course mike putting his head on wills chest possibly checking his heartbeat #also mike is the heart #and he was so afraid for will and did anything he could to get him back #also the title of the song is i will follow you into the dark #which bas major mike jumps into the upside down after will vibes #and also he was supposed to in montauk #idk if these lyrics actually mean what i want them to mean but. i make my own rules #second pic is so bad im sorrryyy idk why its so bad :( #also also the part before goes #in catholic school as vicious as roman rule i got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black #and i held my tongue as she told me son fear is the heart of love so i never went back #um idk allusions to mikes internalized homophobia and the christian culture of the town #now i dont believe karen is inherently absuive or evil or mean or anything but she fit the bill for this edit #which is more gentle and hopeful than the song is lol #ok im done i promise

Why We're Tired Of Roman Reigns Winning All The Time: A Presentation

As Michael Cole will remind us with the glee of a thousand dads touting WWII trivia, Roman Reigns is now in the middle of the 4th longest title run in WWE/WWF/WWWF history. And yet we all want to claw our own faces off every time we see him win. Why are we so sick to death of him winning when two others won for far longer?

*note, I only went up to day 1500 of Sammartino's reign cause it impeded legibility beyond that

Look at this chart. Roman hasn't been winning longest, nor more frequently than anyone else. He's even keeping up with the "1 Defence Every 30 Days" stipulation. But we're all so much more tired of him.

The answer is because this is not the 80s. This is not the 70s. This is not the 60s. Even if all you watch every week is the main brand shows, it's 5 hours of WWE every single week. If you include NXT, we get up to 7 hours over 3 events. That was not the case in days of yore.

For Bruno Sammartino's first run, the WWWF put on 77 shows in total in the time I counted (the first 1500 days of his reign).

Bruno's second run had 43 shows.

Pedro Morales had 32 shows.

Hulk Hogan, the first of this bunch to hold a belt during the era of PPVs and weekly shows, had 255 shows.

Since Roman got the belt, there have been 853 shows (as of this writing, Nov 6, before Raw)

Or let's give this another ratio to make it fair.

If Roman defended his belt as often as Hogan, he'd have ~214 defenses under his belt.

~552 times if it was as often as Sammartino's 1st run

~793 times if it was as often as Sammartino's 2nd run

And a full 802 times if it was as often as Pedro Morales (who only sat out of 2 shows his whole run)

Or vice versa

If Hogan defended 18 times

If Sammartino defended 5 times

or 3 times the second run

If Morales defended twice

We're seeing so much more wrestling and so few defenses. If Roman had a near equivalent amount of shows to defend on (approximately once a month), he would have taken over 5 years to defend 62 times he currently has.

Now I'm not faulting him for wrestling as often as someone who did pre-moon landing (it's a rough sport and he's been at this a while, it takes a toll on anyone). I'm faulting those in charge who have over 7 times as many hours per month of wrestling content and think we won't get frustrated when a champ wrestles and retains as long as someone did 60 years ago.

#i went mythbusters mode sorry #WWE #all this to say stop comparing him to these folks who wrestled when we get more content in a month than they did in a year #and sorry if you like Roman I've just been going through it
