Danny got comfortable on the roof, leaning froward with anticipation.

A silent thump and a person slid next to him, Danny barely gave the red head a glance.

"Any reasons to be on the roof at night?"

He shushes the vigilante, eyes not leaving the spot. It has Roy crouching next to him, watching as well.

Out of nowhere, a vampire looking fella flew around wildly, not far behind a ginger woman on a hoverboard, flying after him.

The Lady is shooting lasers with deathly accuracy, the man (?) dodging barely. It had Arsenal hum at the show.

"That's my mom." Danny points at the lady. "The guy she's hunting keeps harassing me so she took matters into her own hands."

Cheshire Cat lands not far away from the two, head tilted with a silent question that had Roy nodding and she is leaping away to the next roof once more.

"Why not call the authorities?" He asks, appearing less tense and more friendly to the teen.

The kid whistles sharp with a grin before answering.

"Tried, unfortunately, he's super rich with influence and connection. So here we are." He shrugs.

While they watch the chaos a bit longer, Roy ignores the insisting buzzing from his comm, Cheshire Cat probably alarmed Oliver by now.

He looks up when Danny stands, stretching.

"What was your name again?" He quirks his brow with a smile.

"I don't remember telling you."

Roy rolls his eyes, joining the teen to his feet. "So?"

"Danny."

He steps off the roof before Roy can react, a shout building up, until he sees the kid sitting on the hoverboard of his mother, her hand ruffling his hair.

"See ya, Arsenal."

They're long gone when Arsenal huffs, laughing.

"Until next time, Danny."

It's kind of funny that Kendall and Shiv are both equally delusional about their ability to charm people for business and somehow think they can do it even though they choke almost every single time, whereas it's like the one thing Roman is consistently good at despite being the "least legitimate" option.

I think part of this comes down to the fact that Shiv and Kendall both have very clear ideas of the versions of themselves they're trying to be and the images they're trying to project, and they're trying so hard to be seen that way that they end up coming off as a little desperate and off-putting. Meanwhile Roman "knows" that there's something wrong with him and he's worthless, so he doesn't get sucked into the trap of trying to force people to see his idea of himself and instead molds himself into whatever he thinks the other person wants from him because that's the only way he can compensate for "being him," which works very well in the short term but also means he's the least capable of maintaining any relationship for very long because he has no sense of self.

#this was going to be a joke about kendall consistently failing to charm anyone that isn't stewy (and still for some reason thinking he's #good at it) but then i thought about it too hard and started connecting dots #but it is really interesting on a character level to analyze the different ways the siblings act when they're trying to win someone over #kendall and shiv will try to find common ground but they always end up pushing too hard and overplaying their hands because they're #focussing too much on wanting to get the person to take them seriously or see them the way they want to be seen #and roman will test the waters a bit but not say anything definitive until he get the person talking and can see what it is they want #and then just says whatever it is he thinks they want to hear #which also makes a lot of sense with the abuse dynamics since he was the one most likely to actually get hit so the goal is to just make #sure dad never gets angry at you and tell him whatever you need to to avoid that because the consequences will be worse #anyways its 2 am here you go #succession #kendall roy #shiv roy #roman roy

Tbh kendall roy being a performer + him standing upto logan when he does his physical violence towards the kids and his siblings is soooooooo linked its great like. U know he is doing it because he loves them but like. U know. U just know at least part of is because he loves being the hero of the story and physical violence towards kids is a cartoonishly villain-like thing to do

#like.... ok he defended iverson but like. lmao #5 minutes earlier he was telling iverson to just get over it just cause dad said to get over it #kendall roy can only do good when its obvious its good #succession #and even then not always #because it is not always profitable

[stephaniebrownthespoiler]

so I've just read the infamous green arrow issue that convinced the fandom that Ollie and Roy hate each other and that Ollie is a bad parent... and like that's not how it reads at all? like obviously Ollie was really shitty to Roy in these issues but like it's very clear throughout it that they have a strong bond and I'd say they very much make it clear that they'll make it past this? people need to start actually reading the comics they're referencing istg

#it's weird in the way a comic from 50+ years ago is #but like it really doesn't paint Ollie as even half of as bad of a dad as Bruce is tbh #i also think everyone should read ga/gl it's really good and holds up incredibly well considering it's been so long #since it was released #green arrow #oliver queen #roy harper #green lantern/green arrow #second's comic corner #I'm gonna do more like live blogging posts now probably #since my exams are over and i need to get back into comics

i genuinely do believe that lian going down a more civilian, superhero-adjacent path rather than operating fully as a superhero would make for a compelling narrative.

already, lian has a very nuanced perspective on "the life" because of how intertwined it has been with her own life, more specifically, her childhood. she has been privy to the emotional and physical toll it takes on the people involved, and the things that are asked of them day in and day out. of course, she still admires her father and all her aunts and uncles, but she has seen enough to know that being a superhero is far more than having cool costumes and flashy powers (or unparalleled skills, like roy’s aim). she has also seen what it looks like on the other side, as in, she is aware that her mother's life as "cheshire" regularly conflicts with her life as "jade", ultimately making it more difficult to build a life as the latter rather than continuing with the former. her parents’ jobs (albeit different) have been points of contention in the past because there is no true balance between their personal and professional lives, their professional lives often trickling into their personal ones.

what would make the decision to not follow in roy's footsteps even more powerful, to me, is if she chose to experience it for herself and ultimately realized it wasn't for her. from there, she could get more involved with the community while also staying the hero-loop in some capacity. she could go the reporter route like lois and linda, be a public defender/engage in pro-bono work, help develop health clinics, improve conditions of shelters, etc.. there’s many different routes that she could take that would help support the work that is being done by her dad and family without necessarily being directly involved in that part of the fight.

#💭 #lian harper #in my humble opinion it’s also a good way to marry the life her parents wanted for her with the one she had #as normal a life as she can get having a superhero for a dad a mom for an assassin #and a whole bunch of superheroes for aunts uncles and grandparents #this also is a good way to go into roy’s community work too #idk i just don’t think every superhero kid HAS to become a superhero #and i think the civilian route works best for lian #let her go to college and be semi-normal !

Bruce Wayne knew what he was doing when he only adopted kids over the age of nine.

If I was Roy Harper or Wally West, juggling being a vigilante with nighttime feeds, toilet training, sleep regressions, and toddler tantrums, I’d be so fucking salty at Batman. I’d make him change all the diapers on Bring Your Kids To Work day.

Disclaimer: I’m currently celebrating the holidays with family including two toddlers who I love very much but who do NOTHING BUT SCREAM and seem to be allergic to sleep. This post might be biased against toddlers.

[stewyhosseini-bf]

what does it all mean

#kenrava #kenstewy #parallels #kendall roy #rava roy #stewy hosseini #something about a stewyrava parallel that i can't resist. also the way the scenes are like total opposites in terms of like. the lighting #the setting. like kenrava in the family home. chatting awkwardly and then kenstewy outside at night just like by the side of the road #discussing impactful deals. idk #also the fact that she's like yeah actually that would have been more logical and stewy's like nah this was perfect i love seeing you make #insane choices. idk idk i just feel like they do kinda encapsulate these two sides of ken - the 'i'm a normal family man' sober good guy #and the. kinda out of control coked up guy who tries to kill his dad every chance he gets it

jamie purposely came to uncles day with a pocket full of coins. literally why else would they be there. which MEANS either 1. roy has told him all about pheobe and how she makes him pay when she swears or 2. (and what i like to think) jamie’s already hung out with pheobe around

#it makes me 😭 #jamie is so good with kids #something something #better than his dad #ted lasso #jamie tartt #roy kent #ted lasso season 3

[legless-fish-on-rollerskates]

Okay we've briefly turned into a Ted Lasso blog because I finally caught up tonight and holy FUCK sunflowers was unparalleled. Literally everything about the episode could be explored for hours but I really just want to quickly highlight one thing:

Obviously everyone is talking about the newest layer of Jamie's trauma that's just been revealed (and good on Roy for immediately acknowledging it as trauma!!), and I'm not going to try and do any sort of deep dive because a hundred people have already done it better than I ever could, but there's one thing that no one seems to be talking about, and maybe it's because I just binged the whole show in two weeks so I remember season one better than folks who watched it when it came out, but y'all remember the charity auction, right? First time we meet Jane, Rupert shows up and steals the show from Rebecca, Ted forces Roy and Jamie to sit at the same table because he's trying to make them get along, and, oh yeah, everyone's bidding on the players?

Now, we laugh when Roy and Keeley are messing with Jamie about having to have sex with the highest bidder and he sort of freaks out and then angrily overcompensates when he realizes they aren't serious. I think Jamie from this episode is mostly remembered as being a dick and a shitty boyfriend (and yes what he did pitting Bex and Keeley against each other in the actual bidding war was definitely an asshole move). On a first watch he seems unreasonably upset about what everyone else thinks is a harmless joke. And since not being able to handle people taking the piss plays into our already established understanding of Jamie as a self-centered jerk who's not all that smart, we don't think to wonder if there's any more specific reason for his reaction than wounded pride.

I'm not doing deep character analysis tonight, as I've already said. But. Uh. Reevaluating that scene after what we learn in Sunflowers about Jamie's sexual history and trauma,,, might give it a different context

Anyway, yeah, I'll just leave y'all to think about that. And fuck James Tartt Sr I hope Roy beats his ass

#ted lasso #jamie tartt #ted lasso sunflowers #roy kent #jamie's dad is gonna get what's fucking coming to him #also unrelated colin and trent almost made me cry literally everyone had such good arcs this episode

[ectonurites]

there is something so funny about people using comic panels they clearly don't know/don't remember the context around when trying to say something/make a point... like bruh...

#i do not wanna be a bitch and comment on the post. but i simply think the bruce & jason hug in rhato 2016 issue 27 is not a good example #of bruce being a good dad. because it's in the immediate aftermath of rhato 2016 issue 25. where bruce had beat the shit #out of jason (to the point that he couldn't get up on his own and walk around for 3+ weeks due to the injuries. injuries From Bruce) #and kicked him out of gotham. they only hug in issue 27 because bruce came to tell jason about roy's death in person. #there isn't *regret* for what happened two issues earlier. bruce says 'do i think you need an occasional kick in the ass? i won't deny it' #like that's... not a comic to pull from when 'Bruce should be portrayed as a good dad like this!' is the point ur making dsgfdhgf #grandpa max is god? i go to church now
