the superior succession characters are always the extremely minor ones whose primary emotions about the roys are disdain and annoyance. stewy hosseini. nan pierce. lawrence yee. josh aaronson. daniel jimenez. lisa arthur.
#succession#succession hbo#stewy hosseini#nan pierce#lawrence yee#josh aaronson#daniel jimenez#lisa arthur#obv there’s more than this and the level of minorness and disdain both vary wildly but you know#anyone who’s looking at the roys like this :| is a winner in my book#amperspeaks

what do you think about josh aronson/stewy?
A friendship, I think. A loose friendship based mostly on business. Basically they're acquaintances. I don't think Stewy has any close relationships beyond his immediate family and Kendall, and to a lesser extent the other Roys. They were definitely not fucking.

I had no brain cells to write last night but was so hyped up from rehearsal that I couldn't sleep, so I watched the copy of Lion in the Meadow that I've had on my computer since I started writing "metastatis". I am primarily a fan of it because of Josh, but I gotta say the subplot of Roman trying to defame Kendall with the guy with the face tattoo is hilarious mostly in juxtaposition to how intense the Ken, Logan, and Josh situation is. It's a very well-constructed episode - not the best, but I feel like Adrien Brody elevates it.
What I took away from it upon another rewatch (I watch this periodically, considering I've been writing Josh off and on for the past six months or so) is just how intelligent and confident Josh really is. He knows exactly who Logan Roy is. He knows Logan doesn't respect him, that he's an antisemite, but he also knows that he wields enough power to make Logan uncomfortable, which is extremely satisfying and worth the price of admission. And Josh absolutely does not respect Kendall. I suspect past Josh/Stewy (if I'm toying with a queer Josh) - Stewy was certainly flirting with Josh, at least - and you get a different view of Kendall when you talk to Stewy about him, I think.
More on some of this in Joshroman, but I'm just contemplating the character in general at this point.

If you had to turn someone into a kenstewy truther with only one of their scenes, which one would you pick?
really good question.. first and most obvious answer I think would either be 'go to the bathroom have a little sth sth' combined with the whole bathroom scene or the friend card scene.
but this question had me thinking back to when it clicked for me that there is more to them, and weirdly the very first time I watched the show I did not really pick up on kenstewy for a while (even though I was already convinced ken was bi from ep 1 on, don't ask me how that works. but that's also why I think kenstewy isn't the strongest evidence for bi ken but I digress). Like I was raising my eyebrows at the friend card scene like okay what's all this then, but was telling myself I'm probably just reading too much into it .... but what actually did it for me was the josh aaronson / stewy hug with kendall watching from the plane window lmao. don't ask me why. but something about this
had me like. hold on a minute. even though the scene isn't even that loaded with subtext or anything, like of course Ken's defeated and devastated about losing Josh's vote, like whatever. but for some reason that's what did it for me and then I went back to their other scenes like. okay actually these bitches are gay and I was not reading too much into it lmao. so idk, if the first ones i mentioned don't work to convince that real or hypothetical person of kenstewy try this one!
#ask#kenstewy#i think its cause i was thinking like. now why would they have to have them hugging.#like there are so many ways to show they are working together?? i was genuinely racking my brain like why would they go with that route#and while. it doesn't seem loaded with subtext like. all good tv is loaded with subtext all the time. there is never just one reason#a scene exists or one way to read it. and so i was like. but why this. it wouldn't leave me alone it actually like occupied my mind LMAO#of course coupled with his whole reaction to it. and i was like actually. like actually fr hold on lemme watch their scenes agai#and it ALL clicked for me. i was just like hooooly shit these bitches are actuallyyyyyy gay wtf.

do you have thoughts on shiv's trip? i know you said you dont think its indicative of a miscarriage or just a nero/sporus reference, so do you think there was a reason for it? its succession so there has to have been but to me it just felt like unnecessarily humiliation, like maybe they were just trying to rub in the fact that she's not in a good place?? idk... would love your thoughts!
this sort of bodily humiliation is pretty typical of how succession telegraphs both the characters' internal states and their shifting power relations. to me the trip is reminiscent of kendall shitting himself after being humiliated at dinner with the pierces, or logan getting heat exhaustion after failing to secure josh aaronson's vote. it's adding insult to injury. these are moments where a character is trying desperately to maintain control or assert dominance, but even for as much money as the roys have, they can't prevent mundane bodily embarrassments.
within the universe of the show, bodily vulnerability can be exploited politically (think logan using sandy's decline or kendall's drug use to discredit each of them), and so for viewers, their bodies are part of the discursive field of politics. shiv tries to save face when marcia stops her on the stairs (of course, shiv is walking down and marcia's going up, which is basic but effective blocking) and then she snaps at stewy. all she wants in that moment is some basic dignity, and she can't get it. her brothers stole the crown and now she's taken a literal fall from grace. it's a brutal sequence.
i can understand why people would jump to the idea that the fall was supposed to be related to the pregnancy—that's a common hamfisted writing move lol. but there was literally nothing else in that sequence indicating a miscarriage or that we were supposed to be thinking about the pregnancy. the fall is related thematically insofar as this is a very Shiv Has A Body episode (her body being something logan always tried to deny existed). but it's consistent with how bodies are often used on this show as vulnerabilities. it's about the balance of power in the family, and shiv losing the company.

Having a thought about Logan's physical body and Kendall having both an aversion to it and a fixation on his health, and all the conflicted feelings on how it assures Kendall that he won't be weaker than his father forever but that's also something that disconcerts him because in his mind Logan must always be a God and a paragon of strength and vitality, which after his death is the version of him that Kendall tries to keep alive inside of himself while also warping it into something more comforting.
Geez that was a crazy run-on sentence. Anyway, I was also thinking back on S2, how Kendall's reverted to a small child and their relationship becomes much more *intimate* than it's been in a long time. And on the one hand he feels vulnerable and powerless and revulsed at going back to that place, but then there's also a dissonance in seeing that Logan just isn't all that he used to be, doesn't look or feel the same and can't do what he used to. And then maybe that triggers another primal fear, of his dad one day being gone forever and himself left alone and torn apart.
(And at the same time he's retreating into childhood as an escape from the guilt of what he did to Dodds, wanting to be an innocent victim because it feels safer.)
Yes! Kendall’s fixation on his dad’s health before he dies is such an interesting current to pick up on. I’m thinking specifically of the scene in 3x04, where Logan suffers heat exhaustion at Josh Aaronson’s, and if this was a less well-written show, Kendall might take this moment to lord his own physical health and superiority over his father’s weakness. He doesn’t. It’s a moment of fear for Kendall, being confronted with something that seems so impossible - he’d rather have his father be an all-powerful abusive God than a frail human man. Him putting a healthy, alive version of Logan on screen in 4x06 is almost akin to reanimating a corpse, making his father a Frankenstein monster, because the monster is what Kendall is familiar and comfortable with.
This ties into this message a little, I think: when you’ve been abused by a family member, you want to believe they’re powerful, they have reasons for hurting you that you could never possibly escape, because villainizing them is the easiest way for your brain to cope with the abuse. Oh, Kendall. You are never going to stop craving your father’s boot on your neck </3
