After a long hiatus, I'm back swimming in SV waters. Time to finally publish the Tulsa fic on AO3. Chapter 1 is up now! ***

“I just need a fucking break. I need...I think I need to get out of California.” Richard pulls himself up into a sitting position, his knees tucked under his chin. He can hear his mother’s voice in his ear and his stomach flips. Resting his forehead on his knees, he heaves a deep sigh and says, “Will you book a couple of tickets to Tulsa for the weekend?”

“I’d...be happy to, Richard. And you,” Jared clears his throat, “you ah, want two tickets for...?”

Richard looks up, perplexed. “You and me. That’s, I mean, you’ll come with me, right?”

Jared blinks, and his eyes and his smile become watery, but he holds himself together remarkably well. “Of course, Richard.”

Rating: General Audiences (but will update in subsequent chapters) Pairing: Jared Dunn/Richard Hendricks Summary: Richard goes back to Tulsa for his high school reunion and asks Jared to come with him. Chapter 2 of the Tulsa fic is now up - we get to meet Richard's dad! Huge love to everyone who has messaged me or commented about the first chapter. I'm enjoying this labor of love very much <3

Anyway remember when I said I'd post more in depth Silicon Valley-Succession meta? Well, the time is now.

And honestly, I have to thank @tomwambsmilk for this because she understands Silicon Valley far better than me and we have had multiple conversations about this. I will probably end up making a prettier gif parallels post about this stuff, but this is the base stroke I wanna establish.

But essentially while I have been watching Silicon Valley, it's fascinating to me how some of the specifics are very similar to Succession. Like Brenna mentioned to me, some parallels and arc of certain characters closely resemble that of Succession.

Specifically, I was thinking of Dinesh x Gilfoyle (Dinfoyle) in regards to Tomgreg, and for me, it's about how DG close mirrors TG. Aside from one obvious difference where Tom has an obvious power dynamic over Greg and as a result, Dinesh has the position to retaliate more because Gilfoyle is his equal. There, however I would argue, is a subtle power dynamic that gets established between Dinesh and Gilfoyle in the early days where Gilfoyle is able to far easily able to outmatch Dinesh.

Also similarly, there is almost an instant pairing of both of these couples as soon as the show begins which lasts till the end of the show (for Succession, I obviously talk about the S3 ending) and funnily, none of these couples realise that they are part of a pair until it gets pointed to them by a third party.

("I think you're each other's best friend" vs "... a tom sundae with a greg cherry on top")

It essentially comes down to the fact that TG is borne from almost the same stuff that makes DG, but is worse somehow. They go through the same rounds to trust, betrayal and understanding and it's interesting to go through the curves.

(There's also the individual coding of characters in the ship as a duality of Tomgreg and it's funny to get into but I won't yet)

Another notable similarity is Richard and Kendall. (and Logan). For me, Richard is the more competent version of Kendall (as Brenna put it) where he has a specific vision for the company that gets closed to being bulldozed as he keeps changing over the seasons. In certain points, he turns into Gavin Belson despite vowing to start a company completely different from Hooli. That's extremely similar to the Loganifiction of Kendall. There's a ton of more meta that could be thought off when I'm not incredibly sleep deprived.

So that's it folks, two of my HBO shows are showing themes, symbolisms and motifs and they are interesting as heck.

(also if this does not make sense, I am sorry - I wrote this while being incredibly tired)
