psychological study who’s ur favorite roy sibling and what’s ur ordinal position [eldest, only child, etc]
#it’s abt the oldest unappreciated kendall connection the eldest forgotten & burdened connors the scared of failure shivs…#the pls love me in a way i understand acting out romans…#succession#i either can’t find og post or i hallucinated it#let the record show i don’t think im gonna find anything groundbreaking but im v curious#i am Not a psychologist just curious#im so fucking Obnoxious with praise for this show but that writers room portrays siblings eerily well#the art of knowing ur sibling is full of shit but they know u just as well and everyone ignores it until someone explodes#shiv w/tears in her eyes angrily spitting on her older brother’s agenda figuratively AND literally is a scene from my childhood#the younger sibling alliance but snapping out of it to appear morally better yea#in retrospect I should’ve phrased this post differently bc just bc u like a character doesn’t mean u Get them or are similar#not that it matters but it may sound ambiguous#also they are HORRIBLE PEOPLE! and very much unlikeable so i definitely could’ve used a different word#don’t even rly know what im asking at this point i guess just who are u most drawn to sums it up#idk i guess i just appreciate the nuance?? connor is the oldest but not the heir and treated like a second dad without the fear#kendall is the number one chosen son and went to harvard and put in the work at waystar but his insecurity & addiction makes everyone forget#how qualified he actually is (and isn’t lmao) then roman who is quite actually the human shield of his siblings bc of how logan targets him#so severely even when he hasn’t done anything (logan taking out anger at shiv on him @ argestes) but also being the one who consistently#reminds his siblings of how horrible they are and that he knows better than anyone#finally shivvy the baby and only girl who has the most killer instinct and loose morals of all of them but never taken seriously in a sense#that she is their father’s favorite but not the number one boy#when ur the youngest but suddenly ur father and older brother want u to protect them#anyways to anyone who read this i apologize for making u experience the equivalent of an ap lit presentation that went 20 minutes too long
