rewatching mass in time of war and the whole shiv-kendall interaction where they’re arguing over whether she knew about cruises and she’s like i never got in the pool with any of those creeps and he’s like yeah because dad let a gang of creeps run cruises and she’s like no kendall because i was fifteen is just so. like interesting to me. it feels like one of very few direct, in-your-face reminders that shiv was both the only girl with three brothers but it wasn’t just her brothers, she was a girl SURROUNDED by mainly men for most of her girlhood. and i think for all of kendall’s posturing in that scene and his maybe-partly-authentic interest in dismantling the sexist abuse in waystar he has probably not considered that his only sister had an entirely different set of experiences considering he thinks a fifteen year old girl not getting in the pool with a bunch of grown men must mean she knew that those men were involved in large-scale sex crimes,,, and like whether she or any of them knew or not as children is a different conversation but i just think that scene is interesting from the perspective of like. we hear so little about their childhoods and it feels like a glimpse into the isolation of a girlhood without a present mother or sisters or anyone to guide you or contextualize your experiences. materially you have everything you could ever want but still you are profoundly alone

obsessed with how kieran culkin, jeremy strong, and sarah snook have all at one point been quoted as saying that they think their respective characters are the most like logan. it’s so romekenshiv coded. truly makes so much sense when you look at their performances.

Imagine living in the Succverse and it’s announced that the weirdo from the Congressional hearing who is obviously having an affair with his assistant is taking over one of the most influential megacorporations in the world. Do you think the general public has forgotten “You can’t make a Tomelette without breaking some Greggs”?
like how many variations of this are on that universe’s twitter rn
