As much as I miss all the non Roy characters I almost see their absence as a direct example of how they drive their loved ones away, and how those loved ones seem almost better for it.
They don’t need the Roy siblings, the main characters, in their lives, and they can and do choose to remove themselves from relationships that cause stress or do not benefit anyone in pursuing. The Roy’s genuinely cannot fathom someone not putting up with them, through the worst things they do or say, until they’re all in the grave and it confuses them to see people disengage from their presence, something they couldn’t even think of doing to their father. at least that’s what I think
(in my own succession timeline in my head) Shivs wedding happened at the beginning of the year. She explains how Caroline guilt tripped her into having it in England during the cold for her. I think its interesting that Caroline then (later that year in the summer) chose to have her own wedding in warm and sunny Italy herself. When Roman and shiv where talking about the wedding and about their mom having a prenup, they talk about how the relationship and engagement happened so fast and they need to make sure she gets a prenup incase she's "getting swept off her feet". I wonder if in some wierd mother-daughter-competitve way, caroline wanted to one up Shivs wedding a couple of months after it happened. Caroline and Rory(who wasn't the same man she took to Shivs wedding) relationship seemed slot like shiv and Tom's relationship with Rory being more into the wedding than Caroline and being in awe of her wealth and connection to the powerful, connected and wealthy Roys (kinda like tom). In my mind I think shivr felt this back hand of a wedding so close to hers in a more romantic and warm place after being made to have it in cold England and maybe she decided to wear white to the wedding to stick it to her mother a bit
I love how the succession season three finale features none of the characters paying respect to the fact that they’re at a royal wedding. Tom and Greg had matching suits that would make you think they were both the groom. Connor proposed to Willa in front of everyone. Greg called Roman a pervert in front of a Contessa. Roman and Logan spent half the wedding away making a business deal. Half of them skip the reception. Shiv actually wore a white dress to her own mother’s wedding.
What if the cyborg has already infiltrated your life and if the one implementing the code word so when the original returns you'll only believe them.

‘there wasn't enough naan so we shared the last piece’
a group of friends had a reunion after over a year since they were in medschool together. they dressed in znali, ate naan and kebab, and fed each other bites full of love. it reminds me of how I want to dress up the most, look my best and sexiest, for the most intimate dinners with those I’ve found most comfort with in life. I hope the work I create and am a part of always reminds me of that.
