People being touchy about Roman potentially fucking Mencken are just...I don't get it. Because literally everyone around Roman except Shiv is aiding and abetting him in becoming president. And Matsson - Matsson is a technocrat who talks about his workers like they're slaves. He and Roman were never going to be your cutesy little harmless OTP, laying people off on their anniversary for fun. Like...you're falling for the window dressing. There is no "the fascist" on Succession because everyone seems to think they benefit from what Mencken is bringing to the table as the potential leader of the United States. And even Shiv didn't really care whether or not they kept Ravenhead. Oh, he puts Shiv and Tom off their lunch, but Tom is happy to keep the nazi on board as long as he brings in ratings and keeps Tom in power.

But, like...keep clinging to that false sense of morality about the terrible rich people show, I guess? This is where it was always going. These people have worn their funny little masks for long enough - s4 is the big reveal. Mencken or no Mencken, the mentally of the billionaire elite always leans towards fascism because fascism is the only way that they can maintain complete control of the populace and hold onto their own wealth.

#like...it really grinds my gears that people are seriously like no but Mencken is the actual bad one #everyone else is...what? a proponent of a fair democracy? more pleasant because they aren't pushing the truth in your face?#this is how fascism creeps in people refuse to name it until it names itself #all the show had to do was call Mencken a fascist and suddenly all of the other characters are not that #that doesn't make sense Mencken isn't anyone there are a hundred people who could be Mencken #the point is without certain structures in place they cannot gain power and Waystar Royco is the structure #they put the gas in the car and now he's off to the races #don't deluded yourself here its important #jeryd mencken #roman roy #succession

every single conversation with my parents is like

me: I see there are a lot of ripe tomatoes in the garden

my dad: yeah, maybe we'll make bruschetta tonight

Time For Another Sanders Sides Analysis!!!

Oh, you thought I was done talking about my analyses of this series for a while? HA! YOU THOUGHT WRONG! I have more things to say!!

So! I talk about Roman and all the angst that's been building up for him a lot on this blog, but sometimes when I do so I get responses both agreeing with what I'm saying but also mentioning that all the other sides deserve to go a little berserk as well.

So today I'm gonna be talking about why I mainly focus on Roman in these posts other than just the fact that he's my favorite character!! And believe me, we have a lot to go over. So let's get started!!

First let's talk about Roman's arc in comparison to Logan's, since they seem to be the ones who're the closest to snapping right now.

Logan's main source of conflict is that he's being ignored. By Thomas, by the other sides, you get the jist of it. He, like all the other sides, absolutely deserves to have his issues addressed. But here's where the big difference between his issues and Roman's issues comes into play.

Logan, has already had a few moments where his anger has gotten to shine through. Obviously it's never been to enough of an extent that it could be considered, what I like to call, a "berserk moment", where he gets his chance to yell and truly crack a little bit, but it's definitely something!

Meanwhile Roman, has been sticking all of his emotions in a box and hiding it under the bed. He's been so desperate to be seen as good by Thomas that he's been willing to put up with pretty much anything to stay that way.

In Selfishness vs. Selflessness, he thought what he needed to do was befriend the dark side! Just like Patton did with Virgil! So that's the direction he went in.

His getting along with Janus in that episode can be found in this scene:

As well as in a couple others that I didn't have enough time to go grab screenshots from.

When that plan didn't end up working out, he started going against Janus! Just like Patton was doing!

And now that's not working either.

Even now, when he thinks that (almost) everyone hates him, he's still hiding most of his emotions away from everyone just for the chance that things'll go back to the way they were before.

That's why in the past few episodes he's shown up in he's been supposedly doing so much better than he was at the end of POF. Although you can definitely see a small bit of it peeking through the cracks during his section of the plushie video.

Logan's gotten the chance to yell. In Learning New Things About Ourselves,

In WTIT,

And it while it hasn't been much, it certainly seems to be more than what Roman's gotten.

"Oh but Elizabeth! Roman's been all angry at Janus recently! Doesn't that count for something?"

Honestly Hypothetical Reader, I don't think it does! Roman's dislike of Janus didn't really start showing up until after the trial in SVS, which makes me believe that that dislike initially was only there because he was following Patton and the others and didn't want to be siding with the person who everyone else saw as the villain.

The reason he was still siding against Janus after the little fight sequence with Lilypadton feels like something that might've been caused by extra confusion. Something like "Wait, why is now any different than before?! This doesn't make any sense to me!!" instead of genuine dislike. And then of course Janus said that he was just like Remus, and that dislike became very, very genuine.

All in all, Logan's already gotten a few small chances to show his anger, and Roman's gotten pretty much none.

Obviously they both need to have their issues resolved, and this post is not intended to say that Roman's issues are much more important than the others's are. But this is mainly why I'm so excited to see Roman's "berserk moment" over the other characters's. He most definitely needs it.

If y'all have any thoughts you'd like to add onto this they'd be greatly appreciated! I'd love to hear your opinions on all this.

But other than that, I think that's where I'm gonna end today's analysis.

Thanks for reading! Ta ta for now!! 👋

#sanders sides #roman sanders #logan sanders #sanders sides analysis #ts sanders sides #sanders sides season finale #roman angst #roman sanders angst #i say stuff sometimes #ts roman #ts logan #ts roman sanders #ts logan sanders #thomas sanders #please feel free to rebut what i'm saying if you think i'm wrong #i'd be more than happy to engage in a friendly debate with any of you on this subject if you believe what i'm saying is wrong in any way #but yeah! thanks for reading my ramblings! i hope you have a pleasant day! :D #❤

outlining Flashman posts on my phone and in defense of autocorrect here, Martin Jones sounds exactly like the name of a stock scientist character from North America who appears in an episode to either be kidnapped or stricken with horror at learning the Atomic Cell Exploder Machine he invented is being used for evil, or potentially both at the same time.

Alternately he is the one who inspires a bizarre gimmick to sell a new toy accessory. Yes, Kamen Rider, before I was jettisoned from the San Jose Oceanic Research Lab and sunk to the bottom of the ocean and captured by the Nascent Cryptid Submarine Principality, I developed this extra thing you stick to your glove, definitely not a repainted Super-1 prop, that will let you become transparent, allowing projectiles to pass right through you without stopping!

#Tokuposting #My favorite blandly pleasant rectangular man #I would love to hear him read hastily romanized Japanese in one take without blinking at all #I would like to see him try to emote in context of a live action television program for small Japanese children

where's that post that like talks abt homosexuality and how it's not inherently contradictory to the fascist project and misogyny specifically in regards to characters like seeing homosexual, or if we're going to use the terms that everyone else is using "queer" elements in a character that is fascistic does not imply endorsement bc that would invest sexuality with a moral value

#txt #this is about roman roy btw #who i quite dislike as a character he leaves a foul taste in my mouth but the queer interpretations of him are not simply rewriting those #qualities of his and instead how it operates as an extension of the fascist agenda #i understand why people avoid that topic bc it's not pleasant to consider and especially for tme ppl talking about transfem hcs can veer #into stereotype territory but to simply ignore that bc it represents a harmful attitude irl is kind of weird #q slur

Have I absolutely had it up to here with the Depp case? Yes.

Am I furious with women MY AGE who cannot see the sea of red flags that say that even if she lied about this, that he’s still a terrible person unworthy of their blind adulation? Also yes. Edit: this is clearly a vent. If you wanna stan the man, go on ahead. But if you’re going to be nasty to me, I’m just going to block you. I’m absolutely allowed to look back on an actor I once crushed on and realize there were a lot of things that I didn’t know were red flags back then.

#the short list #he still defends Roman Polanski #amber heard was MUCH younger when they started their relationship #he was 25 when he met winona - she was 17 #he has a history of not being pleasant to work with #and yes he's pleasant if he wants to be #but that story of him destroying several leather tricorns in Pirates has never left me #people who respect the work of others don't do stuff like that #there is zero sign that he has any indigenous heritage #but he played Tonto in Lone Ranger #before all of this came out #I'd already hit the point where I'd enjoy some of his performances that meant something to me #but I wrote him off as anyone I'd ever want to meet #He is not registered with any tribe #And he has named a few tribes that he MIGHT be affiliated with #Which could mean a lot of things but he hasn't actively don't anything to claim that heritage #Other than use it in interviews

How long has Horsehead worked with you?

“Oh, Horsehead’s been around for a long time. We met shortly after I first became Black Mask but he wasn’t the first to join our group...” Roman said, downing a shot of whiskey with a frown. Those were dark days early on into his criminal career, when he was still reeling from the loss of Janus Cosmetics and struggling to adjust to a new life after so many drastic changes in such a short amount of time. Times changed however, and so had he; Roman was a completely different man from back then and owed a good portion of his successes to his long-time colleagues. "Out of that initial group, only four remain. Horsehead’s at the top of that list and has worked with me on and off for nearly a decade now alongside the other three. If Li’s my assistant then he’s definitely my right hand man, but you know what the funny thing is? None of us know what his real name is.”

#anonymous #;; asks #Thank you anon!#This was a surprising and pleasant ask to receive #I hadn't mentioned much of Horsehead so it was nice to bring him up again #Focus a little on his lore even #Might have gotten slight inspiration from the Elder Scrolls here #Between Black Mask and his original four followers they're five in total #Aka Black Hand #Each one handles their own 'part' of Gotham and goals #But they're all important to Roman's longterm schemes and agendas #This was nice to focus on bc I've had a missed call and don't know what the message is #Can't find out until tomorrow but I think it's work-related or to do with job interviews #Anxiety oof

fascinated by gerri & roman's relationship cuz like. it's weird. like she's saying the most normal insults & both of them are bizarrely into it. gerri doesnt even have to egg him on but she wants to. she's interested in roman's reactions and she likes how she can affect him. not to mention the fun gray area of sex they've carved out where they're both benefiting even without physical intimacy or anything penetrative. it's just interesting is all.

#gerroman #gerriroman #also genuinely happy for both of them cuz gerri gets respected & roman doesnt have to feel like he's fuckin up and that he's unfuckable #idk man. something about roman's issues with normal sex & relationships being one of his stinkiest laundry ppl get on him about being a #then he gets this thing with gerri and even with hier insulting him it's all om pleasant terms #last thing i promise. it's /so/ interesting that evwn in argestes their dynamic's the same. it doesnt ramp up to "ok normal dick in vag se

Dc x Dp prompt #13: Hell to Pay

They say there are only two things certain in life: death and taxes. That’s why even the Joker doesn’t fuck with the IRS.

However, unfortunately for the Joker the other certainty is death and he has yet to pay his dues. Just like how he could only get away with tax evasion for so long, there are only so many times the Joker can dodge death.

Death is coming to collect, with interest.

And the Joker will have hell to pay.

~ A dark green cloud swirls over the city. From it, emerge three oppressive figures:

The one on the far left with flowing hair like white-hot fire. His vambraces made of (what appeared to be) molten glass stopped under his fingers, which then extend into into claws that seemed to drip lava. He had spiked obsidian pauldrons on his shoulders, fastening a luminous, stark-white cape to his shoulders. He wore a coronet of lightning and wielded a flail that appeared to be made of coal chains and a shrunken Red Giant star.

The second on the far right had a helm of dark iron wreathed in a plume of purple flame. His gauntlets and sword flamed with green hellfire. A pure black sheath seemingly made of void and a silver hunting horn were tied to his waist. He wore an armor forged of shadows and proofed with fear. He rode atop a mighty stead. An inky dark stallion with a curved horn and bat-like wings. His form was constantly slightly shifting depending on the angle which you viewed him making him appear larger and more slippery than he was, enhancing his disquieting nature.

The third stood in the middle, smaller but no less terrifying than her companions. Her hair was wild with movement, only just visible because it appeared as if someone had bound the winds to her head. She wore a tiara made of storm clouds and pearls. She carried with her a spear, the shaft crafted of amazonite and the tip of a clear quartz, almost reminiscent of sea salt. At her hip lay a whip made of a restrained gale and a sea glass knife. She wore armor that appeared to be Greco-Roman in origin: a chest plate made of some sort of coral-like material and a battle skirt decorated with metallic bronze feathers.

They slowly descent on the city, bringing down a sense of power and dread. They paused at the top of Wayne Tower, where the city's vigilantes had all gathered in an attempt to create and feasible plan of action to discern what these beings want. The young woman in the middle speaks and the wind carries her voice. She is not loud but it the whole of Gotham hears her words.

"Greetings, Heroes of Gotham. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Spirit, Princess and Head Diplomat of the Infinite Realms. This is Samhain, the Fright Knight, loyal knight to the king,” she gestured to her right before switching to her left “and this is Prince Wraith, current General in Chief of the Realms. We come to you as the King’s Guard and entourage. We have official business in your city and wish to civilly notify you of our presence. The King will be arriving shortly and your cooperation would be great fully received.”

Batman moved forward to shake her hand and address the situation.

“I’m afraid that we prefer not to have unknowns operating within the city. Would you be able to tell us what business you have here? Perhaps we could reach an agreement?” Batman tried to negotiate as politely as he could. He did not want to risk offending the evidently powerful beings.

Princess Spirit’s smile sharpened as she thrummed her finger against her knife. She spoke again with an unnervingly pleasant tone.

“It appears you do not understand. We are not asking for your permission.” Her grip around his hand tightened. “ We are informing you.” She finished releasing his hand.

Batman withdrew his aching hand and regarded her with the beginnings of a protest on his lips. She didn’t allow him to speak.

“ This is out of your jurisdiction Batman. This is a matter of the Realms and the Afterlife. Whatever worldly rules or morals you wish to impose on those who enter this city do not apply to us. We will do our best to work within them, so as to appease you and to attempt to maintain a friendly relationship but in the macrocosm of the multiverse and afterlives you have no official power over us. Additionally, we have direct permission to operate here however we see fit from the City Spirit herself, Lady Gotham.”

Batman’s shadow seemed to fluctuated. His and his team's shadows moved from beneath them, closer to the Princess. Lady Gotham, though not manifesting, was making her presence and approval known. Batman could not deny what he was seeing. His team shifted uncomfortably behind him. He appealed to her once more.

“ I see that we can’t stop you. We don’t want to get in your way either. Could you at least tell us why you are here?”

She smiled as if telling a joke, “All will be revealed in time”

Suddenly, there was a loud noise that sounded like tearing fabric. The green clouds mixed with purples and blues and began to churn faster. The cyclone emitted a flashes of bright light. In unison all three of the King’s Guard lifted up from the roof and took place underneath the eye of the wind storm.

Spirit holds her spear aloft. With one swift, commanding move she slams the butt of her spear down, creating a platform out of solidified air.

Wraith bellows out smoke and ash onto the platform to discolor it. With ferocious and precise movements his claws to carve in a sigil, leaving a soft orange glow against the black and gray.

Samhain sheathes his sword and pulls his horn from his waist. He wills his dark stead to rear up as he blows the horn, letting out one loud prolonged cry.

The three warriors stand at attention and Princess Spirit calls the winds to project her voice once more.

“ Now introducing the Ruler of the Infinite Realms, High King of the In-Between, The Great One, The Benevolent King, The Peace Maker, The Guardian of Souls, The One with the Cloak of Stars and the Crown of Frozen Light, The Perfect Balance, Ancient of Space and Reality, The Infinite King: Phantom!”

With a flash of white light a figure appear in the center of the platform. Simultaneously, the three knights bow in reverence.

The King has arrived.

As the Heroes of Gotham regain clear vision they are met with a striking figure.

There stood a toned young man appearing both boyishly young, yet wisened and weathered. He had side swept hair the creeped to the bottom of his neck. His skin was pale with an icy blue tint. He opened his eyes to reveal they shone an electric green. Upon his head rest a crown made of a crystalline material, reminiscent of an aurora. He wore a navy blue cloak that had a rich purple hood lined with stark white fur. The underside displayed a shifting galaxy pattern. His under suit was the same midnight black as Samhain’s. He donned golden arm bands and a gold chest plate in style quite similar to Spirit’s. His hand were covered in snow white gauntlets that matched Wraith’s vambraces.

They all stood in awe, beholden to the almost divine figure.

The king sent them a gentle smile. It was warm and comforting yet sent a chill down their shoulders.

King Phantom began to fly down toward the center of the city, his entourage fell into step behind him. He hovered several hundred feet over Wayne tower and looked down at the city. He then spoke in a booming voice, his tone kind but commanding.

“ I humbly greet the Lady Gotham, her champions, and her citizens,” the shadows curled toward him appreciatively. “ I am grateful for your cooperation in our effort to rectify a great injustice. As High King of the Infinite Realms it is one of my duties to preside over the afterlife. To bring guidance, peace, and justice to the souls under my jurisdiction. Recently, it has been brought to my attention that there is a soul among you who has not only dodged death, but caused great strife to a vast number of souls who call for justice.”

On the roof of Wayne Enterprises Jason and Damian both stiffen, but remain firm in their gaze toward the king. The king looks out at the city and sparing them the quickest of glances. He continues onward.

“ The man formerly know as Jack Napier, now called The Joker. He has avoided death on many an occasion but his life should have ended moment he fell into a vat of chemicals. Since then he has sent hundreds more to the afterlife. He has long yet to pay his dues. That is why on the behalf of justice, restoring balance, and of my subjects I officially condemn Jack Napier.”

“Jack Napier, you have been allowed 24 hours turn yourself into our custody in order to be put on trial for your crimes in the Infinite Realms. Should you fail to turn youself in, we shall take that as an admission of guilt and acceptance to be punished for your actions. After the 24 hours are up, Samhain shall use his horn to summon The Hunt and we shall track you down.”

His gaze passed specifically over Red Hood, one of the Oracle’s drones, Nightwing, Signal, Red Robin, and Batman before he spoke his next words.

“All those souls who have been wronged by the Joker, both living and deceased, who wish to have a hand in their justice have been invited to join The Hunt if they so choose.”

The king lifted his hand, calling the swirling green clouds to his gather in his palm. The clouds swiftly rearranged themselves into a smokey timer hanging in the sky.

An impish smirk graced King Phantom’s face as he let out a malicious laugh and gave his final decree.

“ Your time begins now!”
