it's so heartbreaking how in the first season shiv is pretending so hard that she's uninterested in being a part of the company and that she has her OWN Good Liberal Agenda and her OWN desires and beliefs and her OWN ways to get power and success and no tom don't worry I don't even want it!!! ofc she wants it more than anything in the world but she knows that to express desire is to be vulnerable to humiliation. but then that OLD CUNT coaxes her out of her shell and makes her believe she has a chance only to humiliate her over and over again and make her entire life about him because he can't stand for any of his kids not to be obsessed with him.

#succession #shiv roy #this slant of light scene is the most pain ever SHIV NOOOO DONT GET IN THE CRAB BUCKET SHIV #and the worst part is i dont think logan is consciously manipulating her he genuinely does think he'll give it to her but he can't. ever #because a) he hates women b) giving it to anybody would be admitting his own mortality #c) vulnerability must be punished by humiliation (see making the kids look in the mirror when they cry)
