roman: I'LL DO IT. i will make this noble sacrifice for my family by flirting with the handsome evil man of the week. no no, don't try to talk me out of it, the burden is mine alone to bear. 👄💄
A video of you crying at your father’s funeral goes viral but it’s okay, because he used to hold you up to the mirror and mock you too. You walk into a crowd of protestors until you’re beaten and trampled but it’s okay, because your father used to hit you too. He kicks you, and you chase the feeling.
He’s whimpering. Curled up like a child. A lapdog, waiting for its owner to come home. But it’s okay, because his father is still here. In the mockery. In his actions. His words. In him. He’s not coming out of that coffin, but it’s okay. He’s created you to be his own personal mausoleum instead. You have to take up his clothes, and his words, and his scorn, and stay in your cage while he lives in you. You're just a kid, but you can’t shield yourself from how your father rots inside you. Festers. Perfectly moulded. The dagger buried deep.
it's been a bit since i watched succession so maybe i'm off the mark idk but while i do understand the takes that mencken would take care of roman like a prized possession and/or dog i personally subscribe to the belief that roman is used to being hurt and would be uncomfortable if he were actually well kept, albeit like a thing or animal. same way i don't think mencken and roman ever use the stoplight system or that mencken is a good dom. that man is a ghoul and he would act like it in bed !!
being a romencken truther in the year 2024 is a struggle. we are about 1.5 yrs out from s4 finale. niche ship to begin with. 312 total ao3 works from the same (lovely) group of abt 6 authors. we are #JOEVER
I got my hands on the scripts for episodes 2-10 and was able to grab quotes/scenes to share. I will be posting them once a day under the tag #HOTDS1Script here and on Twitter.

FAQ
Q: How did you get these scripts?
A: They are available to read at the WGA Library in LA. You must go in physically to the library and you can not copy or photograph scripts.
Q: Why are there huge watermarks?
A: This took a LOT of time. I had to go into the library on my day off, handwrite these scenes while reading them, put them into the proper script formatting, then style them. It took a lot of work, and people often take content without crediting in fandom.
Q: Can you find ___ scene for me?
A: I’m open to questions but I did not have a lot of time so I scanned through the scripts for scenes I was interested in. If I go back in the future, I am open to taking requests.
Q: Has the script been edited by you?
A: The only edits I made were for brevity. I cut out whenever a character had their entire name listed or all of their titles, and I summarized scenes we’ve already seen on screen in parentheses.
Q: This scene doesn't make sense...
A: The scripts are not always consistent with the final episode. Some of these are early script drafts. If something doesn’t make sense, the creative team obviously decided to go in a different direction for the scene.
Q: Why do some episodes have more quotes than others?
A: I ran out of time reading these scripts. The library isn’t open for a long time and I was on a limited schedule. Whatever feels lacking is probably due to my time constraints.
Due to the word limit on Twitter, details on the date the script was written, who wrote it, and which revision it is will not be on the Twitter posts but they will be included on each Tumblr post.
Finally, even with watermarks, I know people will repost my work without crediting me. If you do decide to repost the specific edit, please do not remove my watermark. If you decide to share the content with others, please credit my account directly.
