#the roy family sickness

[myplasticadversary]

Tbh I do believe that "Roman has rationalized a belief in having a special connection with his dad due to being physically abused the most as a kid" and "Kendall/Shiv experienced their own more covert and insidious psychological violence as well that's harder for Roman to accept and acknowledge" can coexist.

Ok so I think I've decided my Sixcession cast would be:

Aragon - Kendall

Boleyn - Tom

Seymour - Shiv

Cleves - Gerri

Howard - Roman

Parr - Marcia

#most of these are probably self-explanatory but to me marcia has gotta be the survivor who 'saw him to the end of his life' #and gerri is discarded and derided by logan mainly in jabs at her age/appearance #the roy family sickness #six the musical #succession #kendall roy #tom wambsgans #shiv roy #gerri kellman #roman roy #marcia roy

Kendall: You know he used to give us a mirror, when we were kids, to show us how 'dumb' we looked crying?

Stewy: Do you remember Pop Quiz? We come home from high school, and he asked you the capital of Ghana. You got it wrong and he threw a shoe at your head.

Stewy: The last (game) was Dinner for Winners. I won and I got to have dinner with Logan and Kendall had to serve us.

I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound insane but….

Anytime I see Logan touch Kendall it makes me wanna reach through the screen and throttle Him. Anytime it’s a shot where he puts his hands on his shoulders and his grip tightens, the scene where he caressed Ken’s cheek, god god GOD. There’s something abt it, that makes my blood cold and makes me physically ill. I mean I know what it is, it’s the physical manifestations of the grooming, the physical manifestation of the way Kendall is the son Logan is, to quote Brian Cox, in love w the most fiercely and yet hates so much. And the way he touches him captures this so well, OOO ITS SICK SICK SICK SICK

When and how do you think Stewy realised he liked Kendall more than a friend? Do you think there was a moment of undeniable lust, or a reflection that he has other friends and the way he feels about Kendall is different?

yes and yes and i think there was a moment of him realizing he wants kendall in his life forever and also i think stewy realized he was in love with kendall twice; the first time was in a rare moment when kendall took care of him and the second time was when kendall did something unforgivable and stewy called him the next morning anyway because he wanted to hear his voice

#stewy is an absolute sap i stand by this #and while i dont think he liked kendall because he was nice i think he fell for kendall because kendall was nice to Him #i think stewy thinks kendall is/has seen kendall be incapable of proper kindess and love expression becuz of the roy family sickness #so when he’s on the recieving end of it it makes him feel special and he loves that #i think the undeniable lust came on when he first saw kendall win at something. and then again even stronger when he saw ken miserably fail #kenstewy #ask #anon #m

Succession (2018-2023) // Kissing the Floor by Ellen McLaughlin 

#s4 spoilers #succession spoilers #kissing the floor is a retelling of antigone abt incest/ csa/ generational sickness in a former robber baron family #just btw #connor roy #web weave

[myplasticadversary]

No matter how much of an alpha sigma Chad Shiv tries to be (and viewers seem to see her as), it's never gonna change that her parents are both freakishly obsessed with her and all of her brothers make gross sexual comments about her and she's been repeatedly called a slut and a whore by different characters in canon and she's married to a man who no longer loves her but really wants to impregnate her to secure his status. Like when you really lay it all out in one place it's no fucking wonder she's like that

Edit: This post isn't for TERFs, fuck off

#shiv roy #the roy family sickness #succession

[cauldronofmorning]

what are ur succession csa theories …

Let’s get into it. Tw for csa and incest.

I think Kendall and Logan is the most consistent. Logan tries to justify it by saying Kendall is an active agent in the act, and isn’t it better to get groomed by him than someone else? While that’s going on, dog pound happens because Kendall wants to lash out at someone else.

Shiv is replacement Kendall when Kendall is away, and Logan is a lot softer with her, his little princess who is just imagining monsters in her bedroom.

With Roman, I definitely think it was wolf pack. He sees how much “love” Shiv and Ken get, is desperate for his dad’s “love”, but he got abused by someone else, and Logan is disgusted less with the adults who hurt a fucking child and more the… outsourcing.

ouuugggaaahhh i cannot stay silent on the topic any longer i must tell you about my roy kent backstory/family tree headcanons. they are crazy sad btw. ft royjamie

his sister ruth (shout out to teddy-after-all for originating her name being ruth) is 2 years older than him. ruth is just as angry and proud and insane as roy, if not more. just has a bit of a better handle on it all, being a doctor rather than a footballer.

their parents were a mess and were out of the picture when they were really young so they barely remember them. their mom passed away of a drug overdose and their dad is still alive but in prison and he sucks so they aren't in touch.

roy's grandad (they didn't give him a name and i haven't thought of one yet) who we already know passed away when roy was nine was roy's mom's dad. he and his wife zivia raised roy and ruth and after he passed away it was just their nan raising them and she is still alive. she is a superstar and is theee matriarch theee protective angry badass bubbe (oh right. they're all jewish btw). she and her husband had been friends since they were small. they were born in poland and were just little kids during the shoah. (they gave themselves the last name kent to assimilate in britain, chose it bc of clark kent.)

that experience ofc really shaped them and greatly informed how they raised their kids + grandkids. zivia basically always emphasized the importance of anger. "it's your compass, it lets you know when you've been wronged. it's a tool. it's your inheritance. it's your birthright." etc. when roy or ruth would get in trouble for hassling a teacher or punching a kid at school or smth she'd be like "well did they deserve it" and usually they'd be like "yeah and here's why" and she'd be like "ok cool well then i'm not mad ur suspended in fact we're getting ice cream." when their grandad passed away she emphasized this sort of stuff too. "i know you're sad. i know you're angry. i know you're lost. i am too. it's ok. let yourself feel it."

as i said she's still around and living in a great retirement home and roy ruth and phoebe see her often. she takes great pride in the lives of her grandkids (+ great grandkid) and is always asking them about what's going on with them and checking in with them. "perform any amazing surgeries lately, ruth, my little miracle worker?" calls roy after every game, says one of three things.

"you played like shit." "you were fucking poetic out there." "you were alright." when it's the first, he usually laughs, happy to just talk to her after such a shit game, pleased by their little ritual. sometimes he growls or cries. he's never really hurt by her saying it, though, 'cause she's his dear old nan, and she's not being a prick, she's just being herself, and she's blunt. when it's the the second, it means more to him than all of the applause and celebrations with teammates and everything. when it's the third he does get kind of depressed and just changes the subject and they talk about whatever. as he nears the end of his career he hears a lot of the third and it really fucks with him.

roy has never brought anyone home to his nan for her to meet them. he also never came out to her directly. he just started mentioning shit about him being queer one day. they both preferred it that way (not for homophobic reasons on her part). when he's seeing keeley she starts to badger him. "am i ever going to meet her?" "maybe." he's cagey about it. it's a big thing and it kind of freaks him out. they break up before he starts to seriously consider it. once he and jamie have been hanging out all the time for a while, she badgers him again. "from how you talk about him, and what ruth and phoebe say, he's your best friend. you know, i had a best friend once [alluding to her late husband of many years, implying there might be something there between roy and jamie]. even if that's all he ever is to you, i want to meet him. you've never had a best friend. plus, he's a good friend of ruth's and looks after phoebe. he's a part of our family. shouldn't i know my family?" it kind of freaks him out, but he realizes, not much. because she's right. about everything

so the next time he ruth and phoebe go see zivia together they bring jamie. they get along alright. she's charmed by him, a little annoyed by him, respects him, and can really tell how close the two of them are and how well they fit together. she tells him so the next time they talk, when the two of them + roy are chilling at ruth's house. "he's an odd one. i like him well enough. you act like you've known each other longer than either of you have been alive. so, for you? i love him...certainly more than i liked o'sullivan for ruth" "come on nan"

#PRETTY SURE it was teddy-after-all who did it first. there have been so many fics in which she's named ruth at this point i might be wrong #this show is sick but does not honor 2 very important things that i love to see in a story. judaism. and the importance of family #which is barely even fair. they do focus a lot on family for certain characrers. but not for others and i would love to see more #roy is such a rich character. apple tv pls hire me to write the roy kent spin off #post abt ruth to follow 😁 #my posts #ted lasso

mom may possibly take technology away again so watch out for that.

#she can do that. itll suck so much but ill still be alive at the end #but if it is to roi then im scared. its all my fault because i talk too much. #im so sorry roi im the worst brother ever #its all moms fault #i cant stop thinking about stabbing a knife into her nefk #but i have to appeal to the sympathy still left in her so her twisted logic is softer #'im sad because i love you' 'im taking t away because its the problem of everything if i could disconnect everything i would' #'i dont believe in privacy. i wish you wouldnt always act like I'm invading.' #'i wish you wouldnt isolate yourselves so much.' 'when you're older and im dead you'll wish you talked to me more.' #'im already talking to your dad about taking away your stuff. even if you don't talk to me and hate me for it #you'll be alone and not talking to strangers on the internet. i cant believe you trust them more than your #own family.' years of us shutting you out huh. years of you judging us for everything we do huh. years of yelling huh. years of forcing cha #s to be read and scrolling scrolling through everything even when we sobbed and told you not to huh. wondering why we don't trust you. #every lie i say makes me sick to my stomach. i hate you mother #negative

This is just a personal HC or whatever, but I feel like Kendall was sleeping w a professor of his for a little while in college. I think it was a brief period in his life and it was w only one professor, although he not the only older man I think Ken would have slept w in his youth IMO. Probably an economics teacher, probably someone who wrote him a letter of recommendation. Obviously someone he looked up to. I do think it was a quasi-relationship and almost cliche but that’s what Ken wanted. I’m sure while away from his family and enjoying his freedom he got deeply Logan/home sick and wanted something to fill the hole. He would have known he was getting exploited, probably wanted to be as that to him is a signifier of love, but he was drunk off the idea of having someone you look up to and admire and is more worldly actually return the affections and treat him like the little prince who needs to be saved that he still feels he is. Of course, this was all impulsive and when ken was swept up in the euphoria of it. Once it settled in what was happening, what he was doing, what he was trying to replace and how, he’d feel genuinely disgusted w himself more than anyone else, freak out, drop all his Econ/buisness classes, and drop off the face of the earth for a semester. Try to come back rebranding his image as little lord fuckleroy. In his head he’d blame his professor for taking advantage of his weakness to try and feel better but in a way where it hed been stronger he wouldn’t have allowed that to happen to himself. In denial abt the exploitation.
