#fem theory shiv readings my beloved

[brookheimer]

sooooo much to say about tomshiv fight oh my god. holy fuck

#succession #succession spoilers #my mind is 48 essays mixed together all at once #little heavy handed at parts but still i just love shiv this season they like wrote her to specifically appeal to the kind of portrayal i s #desperately want to see #like… the scorpion…. the incapable of love…. #yes it’s on the nose but something’s gotta be. v necessary meta commentary imo #i could honest to god write a dissertation on this i mean it. vocalizing the Strong Female Character boundaries and disproving them all at #once. like that’s exactly what everyone online says ab shiv — she’s a scorpion she’s incapable of love she’s unfeeling #that’s what her character needs to be in order to be respected both in show and out #it’s the fact that tom said that to her while she was crying because he called her unlovable…. he didn’t know her and never could. #like the contradiction is right there in her reaction #she’s as much of a person as anyone else but people can’t view her as one bc then she stops being Strong and turns her into just a woman #not phrasing this well i’m like half watching half typing rn #but #much to say #fem theory shiv readings my beloved #casey shut the fuck up about shiv roy #(in the tags this time lol)
