Flamingos Huddled Together In The Bathroom At Miami Zoo During Hurricane Andrew On August 24, 1992.

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.

ORC FACT

got your stupid ass. this is a gnome post. give me all the fucking berries right now

richard: francis is so intruiging. he looks like a mysterious prince, look at the way he eats his cherries. he’s a walking miracle.

richard: everything henry does needs to be worshipped. he’s an actual god. the physical manifestation of a celestial being. a deity not of this earth.

richard: i could watch charles all day. my favorite thing about camilla is how boyish she looks, and how much she looks like her brother. he’s the most fascinating person alive. I could literally stare at him 24/7.

richard: I, a heterosexual,

Moooola!

FUCK

There's something to the picture that all this season and the release of the first three seasons' scripts have painted of Logan and Caroline's divorce not as one of maternal abandonment, but one of maternal dislocation and suffocating abuse that's ruining me right now.

The way Caroline tried to take her children and flee in the dead of the night to Morocco, the way Logan took meetings with every worth-its-salt law firm in the city to cut off Caroline's access to them, wielding the legal system like an axe to an umbilical cord, the way Caroline's one recourse was to try and keep their position in the company, to keep them with something even if she gave it away later as they rejected her in adulthood. The way she stayed for their adolescence in New York even as Logan froze her out, the way she had to bargain for Christmas even in their adulthood, the way she sat in the pews with the rest of the women Logan loved and hurt and discarded while her children cried, with no tools or ability to comfort them, the way she sat as her son wrote her out of her own motherhood as he gave their father sole credit in creating them, stood opposite her daughter as she told her she wouldn't see it, i'm just gonna do it the family way like it was on Caroline and not their father, that she never got to see them.

Something about the way it feels like Logan trained them how to bark at her scent, to make sure she stayed away from the door.

succession ships are so bonkers. a failing marriage between two blockheads stuck in a miscommunication void? a weird homoerotic power-play relationship between a woman’s husband and cousin? a shitty humiliation boy getting his world absolutely rocked by an authoritative milf? a manic addict and his on-again off-again thing with his old college (fuck)buddy? or that same addict and his new gf who happens to be the cousin of his dad’s biggest competition? incredible. breathtaking.
