#Tomshiv child

[terrazaurio]

The cage is open.

You can walk out anytime you want.

Why are you still in there?

Successions, am I right? Heh

Sophie Roy, Conwilla's first child I invented, Tomshiv's first child I invented too and Iverson Roy!!

[suzieloveships]

This is only going to make sense to people that are as insane as I am.

And no I will not eleborate

Hannigram is a father,

Loustat is a mother,

Villaneve is an older sister, but like much older, like she moved to college already,

Rhaenicent is a second oldest,

Tomgreg and Tomshiv are the twins,

Jackieshauna is the baby sister,

Devil's minion is an uncle from mom side,

Gotham!Riddlebird is an aunt from dad side (I have to be specific because last time I check their relationship in the comics was much healthier),

Dreleanor (Do Revenge) is a cousin that only visit during holidays,

Chiffany (Chucky doll) is nosey neighbor,

LeexMaren (Bones and All) is that local stoner everyone knows

The throuple from Challengers is that rude lady no one like because she is really mean to everyone but who deep down is just really lonely

Other ships from Yellowjackets are little sister friends that are always in the house

LEGO!Batjokes is that annoying kid that pranks everyone

Baffy is a stray cat that lives under the house, at least we think it's a cat

Not sure who Mercutio and Tybalt are but they are here too

Some are probably missing, I'm not in every fandoms. Heck I'm not even in some of those fandoms, this is base on intepretations I got from post from this site

Edit

I forgot about Peter and Catherine!!!

They are also that friend that is always at the house to the point they are pretty much part of the family

im a child of divorce and no its not tomshiv its fucking romangerri i need to discuss them

[nostalgic-shamefest]

It's starving season if you ship literally anything in succession these days

[milaniek]

So Nate is just “Nate” but her husband Tom is “Tom Wambsgans” 😭😭😭 I wonder if Greg uses a nickname for Tom or he is still “Tom Wambsgans” too. I just can’t with this family 😭😭😭

1x2 / 1x10 / 4x3

[cloud-based-and-rainpilled]

Obsessed with how Tom demands Greg be all his as if that’s an obvious and normal ask and Greg barely fights back because it’s just understood that their codependence totally normal strong attachment will never be threatened because they literally only have each other asdfjkl;jdo

[deeplyridiculouslyinlove]

Just casually thinking about how much of a tell it is when Tom says “Siobhan” versus when he says “Shiv” and how he switches from “You don’t like to fail a test, do you Siobhan” to “Honest to God I don’t know, Shiv” in their phone call in the finale, and that’s how you know he isn’t fucking with her, he honest to god truly doesn’t know if he wants to try.

And that’s where we leave them.

I'm a failmarriage (tomshiv) enjoyer

[peniscat]

it turns out that if you don't read succession fics for six months there's going to be something good when you get back into it

[terrazaurio]

Morgana with her dad:

Vs. Morgana with her mom:

Shiv's probably a little bit scared of her tbh

[laniidae-passerine]

I have a really bad feeling that Tom might be halfway decent dad, the ordinary kind who carries a constant sense of absence around with him but who you still remember holding you and putting a plaster on your knee. But Shiv is going to be a terrible mother, because she never wanted that stupid baby anyway and because it will scream and cry and stop her ever being a CEO (as if she ever could have been) and because it’s Tom’s baby too.

where do you think tom and shiv will end up at the end of the series?

so i think sarah snook is the one who said the ending was v in line with succession, and that nothing will be totally happy for the roy's even if they get exactly what they want.

i've been kind of on the fence wondering where these two would end up since the start of s4, but after last night's episode i think i have a pretty good idea of where i think things are going. and it's pretty heavily informed by what sarah said before the start of the season.

so i won't be surprised if tom and shiv end up staying together because of their child. i think given tom's decision to make the call for mencken last night, he has secured his position at ATN and will continue to hold on to power. and given the state of their relationship at this moment, i would not be surprised if their marriage ends up being open/non-monogamous as a way of managing staying together for convenience.

which basically means...tom will have what he wanted on paper at the start of the show—power at waystar, married to shiv, with a child, firmly tied to the roy-name forever. but he's sacrificed the trust he had with shiv by betraying and hurting her, and she won't be faithful to him. while shiv will have the non-monogamous marriage she asked for and tom will have the power she started the show working with him to get—only she'll have lost tom's love and trust in the process, losing her scheming partner and will end up bitter probably repeating patterns she learned from caroline.

on the surface it is a "happy ending" (married, with a child, in an open marriage as desired, with tom exactly where they agreed they both wanted him at the start of s1), but underneath they will both be miserable having to play-act this facsimile of the life they COULD have had if they'd just been honest and loyal with each other.

HOLY SHIT KENDALL WIN

[whoblewboobear]

I’m gonna live in my little fantasy world of shiv being a mother that is half decent. Like it’s the only thing she has left with substance and she’ll make parenthood her own in spite of Logan and Caroline. Which just creates a different kind of fucked up pressure for a kid that didn’t ask for any of it. There would be a long train of stumbles and fuck ups but I still think she’d try and get help without telling anyone so she can pretend she became mother of the year all on her own.
