interested in your general thoughts on shiv’s sexuality — when do you think she started dating/sleeping with women, is it something her family would know about, is she honest with herself about it or is it just a “fun thing.” anything you feel like sharing!

under the cut bc this came out really long but tldr. shiv roy is a homosexual

ooooh love this topic. shiv is def bisexual to me, though i genuinely don't see her ever using that label. i think she would've started sleeping with women in college, maybe the first time during a threesome with some fleeting boyfriend & she realized she liked it. that's where i would actually see her pursuing the majority of her early experiences with women since that's kind of a safe place to explore it without anyone being able to make assumptions about her, and also definitely makes her a cool girl among the guys 😭

i 1000% read all of the scenes with her and lisa as having been either romantically or sexually involved (probably both) & i would imagine she had to have at least one homoerotic friendship that kind of sealed the deal for her, but perhaps if i was to read into things with lisa even more, i would guess that shiv knew she could never feasibly be with a woman, so whether it was lisa or not, i def see shiv having at least one relationship with a woman that could've been really great, but she wouldn't let herself have it.

i think after college when all of the soul searching and realizations would've been complete, she would've went back to her original framing and viewed it more as a sexual preference for pleasure, but i do think she would freely pursue sex with women without it needing to include men so like progress i guess??? it's definitely majorly on the downlow but obviously we saw how excited she was to have a threesome with tom & how happy she was to do it only with the girl infront of him so 😭 i don't think she'll deny herself the knowledge that it please her, but i think she DOES ignore the fact that it makes her gay. because shiv roy cannot be gay<3

on that point i think: roman knows (snooped through her aol chat one christmas break), kendall doesn't care enough to question it, connor wouldn't even think to guess, and logan would never even let himself think it. caroline probably figured it out the second shiv came out of her<3
