#and its like no thats just kendall.

[mikuhats]

theres this genre of succession post where its saying kendall is "becoming his father" for something that kendall wouldve done at literally any point thru out this show and its A Little Annoying to me. Idk.... yeah the loganification. Whatever. but in saying every shitty thing kendall does is him Becoming Logan is a little lame because sometimes you also have to consider: He was raised by Logan and sometimes is just an asshole

funniest thing about stewy is that he’s a fucking anomaly in the roys social circle because not a single person in that family has any fucking friends. they genuinely only fraternize with family or waystar employees and then here comes stewy. the prodigal sons third-oldest friend best friend childhood friend. and guess what. he’s here to cause problems on purpose.

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:

SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.

BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.

and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.

and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.

[stewyhosseini-bf]

i really like though. that it kinda slipped thru in that clip that jeremy strong's idea of kendall getting a happy ending is that he gets married. that's kinda sweet idk sdkjfs. like. he WAS married, man, he has kids and everything .......

Literally i want mattson to crack roman open like a fucking egg. WHAP on the side of the pan. your father will never love you and the terrible things he assumed about you are right.

crying during succession again

[wormmurder]

oh yeah succession s4 trailer a few days ago that was cool. i think tom wont divorce shiv bc logan would hate him. also with the siblings teaming up against logan, i think if the deal w gojo does fail, it wont have anything to do w them and would be logans decision ultimately, just based on how the prev seasons went

[mikuhats]

i wonder if kenstewy only ever talking abt business with each other (mainly kendall talking ab business with stewy than vice versa) is an intentional part of their dynamic or if thats just a product of underwriting and stewy's functional purpose as a character being way too obvious and prevalent

[softlyher]

crazy to me that a decent chunk of people hated the finale because it just makes so much sense to me dramaturgically. like especially the later half. kendall inflicting pain and comfort to roman at the same time, pressing romans fresh wound into him as he hugs him. roman falling into place because thats the only form of comfort he can stomach. shiv seeing, once again, roman fold under the command of violent older family member, seeing kendall say "thats fucking right" after roman votes against the gojo deal in the same way logan would when roman complied to his demands. shiv being confronted with seeing her older brother turn into her father, and reconsidering everything. and kendall only digs his hole deeper, turning vile and mean. when you grow up with a mean man in your house there's always one there even if hes gone. shiv confronting kendall about the waiter and he denies it even happened. says it wasnt real. no real person involved. kendall again using violence towarda roman as a motivator but this time its different and he fights back because nothing fucking matters. shiv votes for the deal and kendall is once again too late to do anything. its already been done. tom sucking the biggest dick in every room.

[stewykablooey]

what are some pet peeves you have when it comes to kenstewy’s characterizations in fics?

stewy being a mommy gf goes without saying but my personal biggest pet peeve is when people overuse the succession speak lol like not ever line has to be some crazy zinger they can say normal things sometimes please chill

[transgenderenkidu]

ok since i posted about it last night, i might as well finally debut my comicaurora sentinel au, even if my drawings for it are. not fully realized

in this chimerae are a localized disaster event that can spring up anywhere, draining the life energy for a mile around. in response (in accordance with the rule of cool), cities built the sentinel corps, giant robots to fight off chimerae before they destroy the city.

more under the cut

kendal is one of these sentinels, a relatively recently developed mark III whose pilot is vash fairblade, captain of the sentinels. there aren't any city gods in this au, so vash is just a guy. why does he have the same name as the city? bc i didnt want to change it. anyway. after a while, kendal develops something of an active mind instead of just being a giant robot¹, mimicking vash's own mind. and then a wave of chimerae attack the city, destroying it, killing vash, and leaving kendal the only remaining sentinel. in the midst of the destruction, though, he could have sworn he saw a woman, unruffled, just... watching.

the sun is on its way down when alinua finds the corpse. or, more accurately, she finds the sentinel. the pilot is still tangled in the cockpit, sentinel curled around him like it was trying to protect him. the corpse is of course vash, and the sentinel is kendal.

alinua still has the 'chimeric plague' (here hypothesized to be the cause of chimera events), and the only reason she goes with him is that a. hes inorganic (can't be affected by the life outburst) and b. if she does cause a chimera event, hes literally a giant robot designed for the specific purpose of fighting chimerae. and besides, vash the city is destroyed. there won't be any collateral damage.

sidebar, alinua can pilot kendal. it's a team effort - now that ive watched pacific rim, i think its a little like drifting if your jaeger also could think. tbh i also think canon kendal and alinua are drift compatible, but thats another post for another time

dainix is another mech pilot, though not willingly - zuurith's sentinel corps is not Exclusively prison labor, but what does it matter if a few prisoners die of brain hemmhorages while piloting? dainix, piloting the sentinel "champion", is the longest lasting prisoner pilot they've had, and he's brutally effective. there are murmurings that he'll be released and placed in the sentinel corps as a citizen, but if he is ever released he'd fuck off in a heartbeat, so he's still in prison, sentence artificially extended for as long as he's useful.

i'm still a little uncertain as to what kind of roles erin, tess, and falst play, so if anyone's got any ideas i'd be delighted to hear them!!

Do you know the bibbidi bobbidi boutique at Disney? For some reason ive been getting these videos on my for you page on tiktok. But its so cute. It made me think of Baby going there with Baby jr. Maybe for her birthday or something. This is Logan!Wins AU, but ofcourse Logan wouldn't be there, Baby will send him many pictures though, Logan doesn't mind. Baby jr picks the Merida dress, because Merida has ginger hair like her and she is from Scotland (just like Baby jr's daddy). The fairy godmother calls her a real scottish princess, which makes Baby jr. smile and giggle. I don't know if there is a family group chat, but if there is Baby will send a picture of Baby jr when she is done looking all pretty princess with a big smile. The sibs being like "thats actually really cute".

Not Baby Jr in the Loganwins!AU being a ginger. Love that for her. But you know she's just so shy but also extremely happy to get a makeover with the fairy godmother. She can't vocalize her excitement and love for the moment with anything other than giggles.

Roman gets a video and pictures of Baby Jr in her final look because he asked for it.

"So you're taking her to fuck down to Cali, during the height of the lib season."

He's referring to labor day. Roman's eyes look bigger to Baby when he tilts his head down.

"Not even your motherly pussy and young disposition could get Daddy to come with you for a day or two. How you feel about that?"

"I wouldn't say my vagina is motherly. She crawled out and through my stomach, rem-"

"Stop! Just-send me pictures or whatever."

So, she does to Roman and Logan. The old man gets it during a sorta-meeting. Kendall and Shiv watches as he smiles light, eyes under his glasses. He's holding his phone like the old, old guy he is and he's looking at his four year old daughter. But it's cute. Sure.

'She keeps spinning'

Baby Jr likes to feel her dress spin as she waves her arms.
