Im curious why you did not get into trouble by sharing pdfs? I assume youre what they say BNF... or is your cat really one hell of a charmer people instantly forgot there are pdfs in proximity?
Dear listener I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. I simply have shared a picture of my adorable spherical roommate Caduceus that just so happens to be in a folder with a few non-consequential files that have absolutely nothing to do with anything I post about that I have expressly asked people not to open and to ignore
#I'm sorry I'm not the brightest crayon I don't know what BNF means#I don't think it's British National Formulary#someone help#asks for bee#i'm staring directly at my mutuals that I know work at BW#or are BW adjacent with the most pleading and pathetic look in my eye#that felt absolutely wild to type out btw#also if anyone bothered to read these tags I also have a drive with literally every WOC book I could find on my DND blog with#...holy shit it has over 72000 notes#wowzwers!#we go by the honor system here yo ho ho#also they're really easy to find if you're not afraid of đ§

@queenarsinoethepoisoner youâve unleaded the floodgates LETS GOOOOO.
Now usually for an analysis post I would pull direct quotes but I donât have the books with me rn so weâre going vibes and memory only. Spoilers for both The Shadow Game and Succession to follow.
The Augustines and the Roys, though running very different types of businesses, have similar familiar hierarchical structures. Obviously the Roysâ âfamily-ownedâ business is muddled by the board where the Augustinesâ only outside influence is like the omertas and other employees with considerably less power, but the core of the business remains the same.
Starting with Shiv oh my GOD what a character. Her journey is ultimately very tragic imo with her relegated to the wife/mother spot that she tried so hard to avoid. One of the traits of hers I really want to hone in on is the way she uses or discards feminism for her own advantage. This explanation has been done to DEATH but thatâs because itâs FASCINATING!! She plays the âfeminist girlbossâ to get ahead, but in practice, sheâs trying to get ahead in a company that only harms marginalized groups!! During the Cruises debacle she fully goes out to silence a whistleblower and at the same time uses empowering language and telling her that people will call her a whore. Itâs CRAZY the cognitive dissonance makes me fucking SICK!!!!! Also like. When she gets married she keeps her last name, and yeah, she can construe it as a feminist thing, but we all know itâs so she can keep feeding off her familyâs reputation. And ALSO like the fucked up thing?? She is a victim of the misogyny sheâs enabling! Every single man in her family walks all over her and treats her like shit!! Sheâs never her own woman, she slides neatly from âdaddyâs little girlâ into âsubservient wifeâ in the finale and what if I cried and sobbed huh. Ok moving on itâs Vianca time!!
This woman. Ok. If shiv is bad Vianca is EVIL. Sheâs first introduced as head of a crime family, and one of her first actions onscreen is the literal enslavement of Enne. As the books go on and sheâs faced with her estranged son, Harrison, she reveals to Enne more and more about how she views her position as not only a woman, but also as mother and wife. Harrisonâs senatorial campaign really breaks her and causes her to reveal a LOT of herself to Enne, resulting in very ironic scenes where she vents about her frustrations being sidelined by men in her family and being treated shittily by the media due to misogyny and ageism (all of which are very justifiable complaints!!). In these scenes, she positions Enne as a sort of âgirlâs girlâ or sometimes even a kind of therapist, failing to recognize the inherently predatory power dynamic between them. Enne isnât here because she can sympathize with Viancaâs plight, even though she does feel for her struggles. No, Enne is here because she has absolutely no choice, and Vianca refuses to acknowledge that. I think this is why Levi and Enneâs âbetrayalâ at the end of book 2 caused Vianca to call for what would become Jacâs murder. Enne went against âgirl codeâ and Levi betrayed the surrogate son role he was forced into (I do NOT have the time to get into that but my god Vianca and Levi and Harrison is a whole different analysis.)
I got a little sidetracked but I do also want to touch on the book 1 poisoning scene, which is one of the most messed up things Vianca does in maybe the entire series (yes, worse than Jac). I assume anyone reading this has read the books, but if youâre unfamiliar, warning for pedophilia.
In this scene, Vianca dolls up the 5-foot-nothing, 17-year-old Enne, aiming to make her look about 13-14, and sends her to Luckluster Casino. The owner of Luckluster, Sedric Torren, is one of the Viancaâs greatest political and financial enemies. He is also a known pedophile. Vianca functionally uses Enne as human bait for him, telling Enne to poison him when his guard is down. Both Vianca and Enne mentally twist this plot into something positive. After all, theyâre incapacitating a societal menace who has hurt countless people. But the fact remains that this is, at its core, a political move, and Vianca is putting an innocent and vulnerable woman in harmâs way to get what she wants. Itâs messed up!! It is very messed up!!
ANYWAYS. With that out of the way I think I can really draw some parallels. In my mind, Pre-campaign Vianca is kind of Shivâs âgood ending.â No other family to be beholden to, no media attention, no men to fight against, and the ability to exploit all the workers she wants with no repercussions. Shiv ends the series preparing to have a child she doesnât want with a husband she doesnât love, a husband who has ultimately has all the power she once held and then lost. She is resentful, understandably, and as she grows older, if Tom dies, maybe, if her son leaves her, if her family fades away one by one, she will be in Viancaâs same position.
The Cruises Whistleblower and the poisoning scene both reveal similar things about their respective characters. Both can dress anything up in feminist, empowering language, but fundamentally they are self-serving snd donât really care for the women that they champion. Hypocrisy is really the word of the day here.
And both characters struggle against misogyny in their own day to day lives!! From their families, from the media, hell, sometimes even from themselves and from a social and political landscape that THEY are actively shaping!!
Shiv and Vianca are the âgirlbossâ archetype taken to a logical extreme and inevitable end. They are horrible, horrible people. At the same time they are victims. How do you reconcile that? You know?? Itâs a fascinating position, as both the victim and the perpetrator of cyclical abuse, specifically focused on women in power.
I watched a video essay last night on a phenomenon of sanitized, palatable white gays (itâs called the Rise and Fall of the Buzzfeed Gay by Queen Cole Francis, im having trouble linking it). The essay had a really interesting segment on 2010s girlboss culture and the weird intersection of feminism and capitalism that sort of ended in disaster. Both characters are, to some extent, a response to that culture. There are no ethical CEOs. Your victimhood does not make you less of a persecutor. And your power does not make you less of a victim.
It has come to my attention that vianca is actually kind of a shiv Roy figure if you think about it⊠may elaborate if anyone is interested đ
#WOWZWERS that took an hour lol.#please rb this so everyone can hear my unhinged ramblings đđ#thereâs a lot more I didnât have the time to talk about#like shiv and Tomâs cycle of abuse#and the surrogate son Levi stuff#but yeah#book of all time and show of all time frfrfr#the shadow game#shadow game#succession#king of fools spoilers

Nothing tickles my funny bone quite like deep fried memes.
What's not to love about a crunchy image with a nonsensical caption like *hmm nothing beats a bowl of crisp kneecaps in the morning* paired with a distorted image of a chest with some ghost bois
