Succession and/or Deceitful Love for fandoms asks 🪭
Watch me give you long winded answers to such simple questions. LOL! Thank you for indulging me yet again!!! And of course, I'm going to answer both. 🤭
1. The first character I first fell in love with
Without having seen the show before, Gerri Kellman 💗
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Marcia Roy 🥹 That woman performed her duties as a wife regardless of her motives, yet got disrespected so hard by Logan.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
Please don't hate me!!! Kendall 🫣 If anything, I don't hate him! I just don't love his character as much.
TBH though, I feel actual animosity towards Shiv, but I think I'm not alone in not liking her, that's why she's not my answer here.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
I have complicated feelings for Logan, okay. I hate him most of the time, but it's the things he does—no matter how evil they are—that are what makes the show so interesting anyway! Imagine if he never got Roman back in the business and dangled the possibility of being the successor, or made the siblings insecure with doubling Marcia's voting power, will we even have a story to obsess over to begin with?
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
I didn't really love Hugo, but I used to really like him. He just reminded me of those reliable guys in the workplace that I really enjoyed working with. And then he got reduced into a weak, suck-up character by Season 4, and I just got sad for him.
6. The character I would totally smooch
ummmm.
7. The character I’d want to be like
No one in Succession actually LOL! I left that life over a year ago, I don't want to go back to that cut-throat corporate environment anymore. And while I love Connor for not being in the business, I also don't want to be like him who has delusions of grandeur, and buys "love" (or a semblance of it).
8. The character I’d slap
Logan, hands down. Especially after targeting Gerri towards the end. "No one is more loyal than Gerri" my ass.
10. A pairing that I despise
I was going to say that I didn't have one, but then I remembered LoganRhea. Much as I love Rhea Jarrell individually, I hated how her active indulgence of Logan's fascination with her drew a wedge between him and Marcia. She knew what she was doing!
DECEITFUL LOVE (somehow this brought smile to my face heehee)
1. The first character I first fell in love with
I meeeeean.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Her ex-best friend THEN best friend again, Delia. LOL! For context, Gabriella's ex Mario and Delia were doing the horizontal tango behind Gabriella. Without spoiling anything, Delia proved to be loyal to her (ex or not-ex) best friend in the end.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
I actually don't notice any character that gets so much love apart from Gabriella and Elia—which is a pity. The characters in the show are finely complex and human.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
I would just say that Elia isn't getting enough love from the fanbase (he is not hated, but he does have a lot of naysayers because they still question his intent with Gabriella), quite possibly because of the nature of his character. He was written to be mysterious and dangerous, so people aren't quick to root for him. I love him, though. After all, I did spend quite some time understanding a portion of his psyche, and I get where he's coming from.
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
I don't have one! To be fair, this show doesn't have a lot of characters, part of the reason why it's so easy to get into.
6. The character I would totally smooch
CAN I HAVE THEM BOTH PLEASE? I would love to be caught in between this sandwich 🤭
7. The character I’d want to be like
Gabriella, a hundred percent!!! I want to look like her when I'm 60, to be as empowered despite society's blatant disapproval of my life choices, and to be as filthy rich as her that I can afford to pay for someone else's kid's entire future.
8. The character I’d slap
Gabriella's first born, Stefano. Repeatedly. Perhaps one jaw-dislocating slap for every episode, and some less brain-jogging ones in between.
9. A pairing that I love
You already know which one it is!
10. A pairing that I despise
Let me put a pile of coal on it. Throw gasoline at it. Surround it with all the dry leaves and twigs I can find. Set it on fire. Let me cook my steak, and pizza and s'mores on the fire pit made of it.
