our secret thing

succession 1.09 pre-nuptial

what if the tomshiv baby wasn't aborted and turned out to be just like a weird cunt. this is my unadulterated vision

Tom's line about Shiv being selfish and "find[ing] it very hard to think about me" is actually so telling because while it's absolutely true that she rarely takes his position into consideration, Tom never once thinks about what he can do to help Shiv unless it also benefits him.

Every single time he makes a move or sacrifice that might help her, it's always something that he thinks will give him a leg up. He volunteers to take the fall for cruises, not for Shiv, who is in no way implicated, or even for Waystar, but because he thinks it'll ingratiate him to Logan, and the second it seems like he might have to actually follow through on that, he immediately tries to get out of it and even throws Shiv under the bus. Meanwhile, for all that Shiv disregards his interests, there are a number of things she does that only help him, and she's the one who actually sacrifices something and undermines her position with Logan to beg him not to let Tom go to jail.

It just makes it so clear that no matter how much he might love her (and I think he does, in his own compromised way), for him their relationship was always built on the underlying assumption that it's her job to prop him up, but it's not his job to help her.

4.06 - Living+ // 4.10 - With Open Eyes

Sure I’m a Tomgreg girl but I’m also a Tomshiv girl. I’m also a ‘no one in this show deserves love’ girl. I’m a ‘Tom is gross and manipulative, Greg is just as bad as the rest of them, Shiv reaps what she sows’ girl and a ‘Tom has never done anything wrong, Greg can still win, and Shiv is a girlboss legend’ girl. I’m here for good entertainment and I’m being feed.

walking but not crossing the line. maybe

SUCCESSION - S04E01 x S04E02 x S04E03 x S04E04

"Don't. You'll regret it."

it's Tom's dead eyes when Shiv says something needlessly mean in an attempt to vent her frustrations and/or get a rise out of him for me

It’s so insane to me that everyone tries to justify roman being in love with Gerri with ��mummy issues” or some other physco-sexual thing that completely dismisses Gerri as a person in favour of seeing her as an outlet for Roman’s sexual fantasies. Like, have we even been watching the same show?

Roman has been on Gerri’s side from season 1 episode 2- this guy saw her on screen in season 4 and had to immediately sit down, this man has been following her around every single season with no agenda other then to talk to her, to listen to her opinion on things!! My man literally trips over himself trying to get her to laugh!!! she’s the quasi-love of his life!! His final scene was him ordering her favourite drink!! Neither the actors or writers have ever said anything like “she likes him because of the power it gives her” or, “he likes her cause he wants a mummy”, you could say a million things about tomshiv, tomgreg or kenstewy- (hell, I don’t see anyone putting a magnifying glass over Marcia’s love and devotion for Logan) but with Roman and Gerri, it seriously just boils down to, they like eachother. Why do you have to justify it? Because she’s an older woman? As if Toms hair isn’t already grey but nooo, millions of people are still shipping tomgreg and tomshiv.

Anyway, Gerri Kellman is fucking funny and intelligent and hot and Roman Roy loves her and not enough people talk about it.
