i’ll never get over how well the succession writers understand siblings but also how well they understand childhood friends and the relationship between someone’s siblings and those friends. like stewy’s little “are you into that shiv?” quip in the finale and calling roman ro-ro like their mum does thirty years after hearing it for the first time because he knows it still bugs him.
everyone and their mother goes thru the monthly occurrence of grabbing pics of young rsl and going ‘oh my god new orleans wilson’ but like. rsl in Married To It (1991) is literally how i imagine him at that time…the boring suit. the ring. the almost-but-not-quite middle part. the fact that its very much the 90’s. if he was a little more dishevelled and fucked up it would be quite literally Him that night
See that man in the dog mask? He’s playing a game of make believe with his friends to have fun, just like we do! See how his tail is wagging?
See that man with a gun? He’s part of a violent institution that serves the ruling elite and upholds white supremacy. Fifty years ago he would have been raiding all these bars and arresting us all. He could shoot you in the face right now and probably not even lose his job. If he tries to talk to you, remember to say, “I won’t speak with you unless I have an attorney present.”
