Tbh I do believe that "Roman has rationalized a belief in having a special connection with his dad due to being physically abused the most as a kid" and "Kendall/Shiv experienced their own more covert and insidious psychological violence as well that's harder for Roman to accept and acknowledge" can coexist.

personally, the part that stood out to me the most in the karaoke scene was when connor was singing and kendall looked like he was holding back from giving a detailed critical review and taking the mic to show con how it would be right. and then fucking up

I understand that on the phone the lady said 20 weeks I think in terms of Shiv's pregnancy but I actually want to imagine she impregnated herself with their science embryo after Tom betrayed her for her own sick and twisted reasons. because mommy issues

succ 4x02 notes. i am going to kill myself spoilers below the cut

ROMAN

[myplasticadversary]

Oh one more thing, I really do love that Shiv has been able to get emotionally angry around her brothers and they haven't given her shit for it. We're all in this hysteria together

[myplasticadversary]

It really is funny though in a way, you'll have Shiv and Kendall ganging up on Kerry like she's The Other Woman and taunting her for getting fucked like they did and bonding with each other over the thrill of fucking Dad back, and people will watch that and still say, "ah yes Roman and Connor are the only damaged ones here. </3"

[myplasticadversary]

Still sweating over Kendall attacking Roman in the preview :( Like Jeeesus what the hell happened that he snaps like that

[myplasticadversary]

"That'll happen, the fucking. But congrats on losing your betrayal cherry." I'm just rackin' em up rn!!

[myplasticadversary]

Aw I wanna see Connor sing his little song

[myplasticadversary]

Ohhh dear. Yikes

[myplasticadversary]

"She's my assistant, it would be very unprofessional of me to get involved." Murderrrrr

[myplasticadversary]

It does stand out for me that Shiv and Kendall were the ones Greg chose for the entitled descriptor. It’s that kind of “well you had attention so be grateful” sort of thing it feels like?

Oh for sure, and also because they've been the ones most openly grabbing for power in the company. It's the whole thing of how they're Logan's favorites because they both have that fire and drive he has but since it's turned against him he hates them for it.

[myplasticadversary]

The writers are pulling no punches with the Roy family sickness this season like two episodes in and they are plucking some of the most visceral imagery yet 🤢

For real like I've gotta conserve myself rn or I'm gonna explode into a pile of goo

[myplasticadversary]

Twisted context aside (or maybe because of), I love Shiv like “oh how was the sex for you?” aimed at Kendall.

I said this would be the season of Kenshiv and their shared Thing with their dad and lo and behold!
