#willa as empress josephine

Succession hot take of the night:
Roman’s deepest wish is to be accepted even at his smallest and most pathetic; to take off the mask his upbringing and social position have compelled him to wear. That’s why he so enjoys the slime puppy treatment.
Kendall’s greatest drive, on the other hand, is to seek constant adulation from every direction, to shore up the inflated perception of himself that his dad taught him to project. He is seeking reassurance that the mask he wears is who he is.
Just to round things out:
Siobhan wants constant reassurance that she won’t just be cast aside, the way that her dad has cast her aside, and the way her mother has, and her brothers, and whoever she was on the rebound from when she met Thomas the Debatably Broad. (And the way she saw her mother cast aside by her father.)
Meanwhile, Connor is just googling Napoleon cosplay “-dynamite”

need kendall roy content 😭
May I recommend Kendall Roy trying to pick out your holiday gift
and going to every single member of his family (save maybe Logan and Marcia for their opinion)
Roman: Get her a fuckin'—I dunno, a Starbucks giftcard, she's always snorting their espresso? Or a new vibrator. Get something to fill the void, know what I mean?
Greg: A—A trip, maybe? Not acid, or coke, I mean a—An excursion to an island, perhaps? Somewhere warm? Is she a Snowbird? Or does she enjoy the seasonal chill?
Shiv: Are you serious?...I dunno, what does she do for fun? Have you considered something that she, you know. Likes? A voucher for some eye contact, maybe?
Connor: When Napoleon considered what gift to give his darling Empress Josephine—
Willa: Has she seen my play yet? Maybe she would—I mean, you know. Whatever.
Tom: Well if it were Shiv— (Roman: Tell us more about how you'd raw our sister, dude—)
Jess: Uhh—Well, for her birthday, you sent her tulips, and she liked those.
Stewy: Just tie a bow around your cock, dude. You need a ribbon? I've got some right here—
Frank: She seems...Enterprising. Give her some stock?
Gerri: What Frank said.

Lioness, Arya Pike
a product of sleep desperation and Pike haunting my dreams with fluffy looking infants #FML
They named her Arya, after no one in particular but because they both like its simplicity and also for the fact that Arya Willa Pike sounds incredibly sweet. Willa, they decided would be in honour of his mother - not her mother, she barely knew her own and would never, ever let her child carry the Chancellor of Alkmene’s name. Amané realised being the child of a former Empress would be crazy enough for her child and there’s also the fact that her surname would be another different level of expectation on its own. 
Tumblr media
Arya means lioness and oh dear mother of valhalla, she really stayed true to her name. More than twice already did they actually regret naming her that, especially at three in the morning where she wouldn’t stop crying her little eyes out, roaring cries that felt endless, making them wonder if she would ever stop. At least, that meant her lungs are good, Chris once commented with a half-hearted chuckle laced with insane exhaustion, Amanè swore he looked like he aged overnight. 
“Come Josephine in my flying machine,” Chris sang quietly, eyes closed with fatigue and their little infant cradled protectively against his chest, “going up she goes...“
Amané smiled, her heart melting into a puddle of hormonal mess, “we probably should have named her Josephine.”
Blinking, Chris turned his gaze at her and chuckled in amusement, “yeah, we probably should’ve done that.”
