King Charles and his … consort (abridged version)
You brat, you absolute buffoon, get out of my head you twat 😭
Roman being desperate for Gerris comfort, but not being able to communicate it. Roman being in denial until he has seen Logan’s body… this episode fucking ruined me
roman as the child who suffered the most overt abuse at logan’s hand growing up…roman who finally seemed to be coming to a place where he might be ready to confront logan head on, who left that angry voicemail after having to knife gerri on logan’s orders and hating himself while doing it…roman being the only child who forgot to say “i love you” to logan in his dying moments…roman who could only use the language of violence and strength and lies when saying his final words to logan (“you’re going to be okay because you’re a monster")…roman being the only one who felt like he HAD to go see logan’s body…i am Feeling Things™
If you showed this to a person from a century ago he wouldn't be confused like yeah these are hot topics, you would have a totally normal conversation with him.
succession writers reminding all of the casual audience that greg's dad is gay, on a television show where everyone is terrified to become their parents, so that we will remember that when tomgreg fuck nasty in the series finale and greg implies that he's been dating all of these women to overcompensate for that fear
