#shiv because of her gender within her family and tom because he is an outsider in the family and bc of his class

[someoldfires]

my tomshiv x mitski thesis is as follows: shiv about tom is Goodbye my danish sweetheart, tom about shiv is I want you, and they are both Me and my husband about each other

#tomshiv #succession #shiv is actually in love with tom but cant handle it about herself truther. #exhibit a bitey. exhibit b her trying to repair them somehow in the last ep after the balcony fight #i dont like you (lying) i dont care (extreme lying) #her actual true emotions if she could express them would basically be #THERES NOBODY BETTER THAN YOU IT TOOK ME A WHILE TILL I KNEW BUT YOU KNEW FROM THE START IT WAS US DIDNT YOU #SO I DONT BLAME YOU IF YOU WANT TO BURY ME IN YOUR MEMORY IM NOT THE GIRL I OUGHT TO BE #verbatim #as for tom: #’i want you / i hold one card / that i cant use / but i want you’ #and ’i found you / i found the door / but when i stepped through / there was no floor’ regarding the cheating #being revealed on their wedding night #and as for me and my husband. i love that song i do try to fit it into every unhealthy relationship dynamic im obsessed with #but i think it works so well for both of them i think they both feel overlooked and irrelevant #shiv because of her gender within her family and tom because he is an outsider in the family and bc of his class #and they found some kind of ally in each other and they both stepped all over each other trying to get to the top #trying to be logans favorite #but in some way they both felt seen by the other one #when he walks in i am loved i am loved #also the inescapability of it all the divorce that never seems to take hold #’so i bet all i have on that furrowed brow and at least in this lifetime we’re sticking together’ #god
