baffling to me how few of you care about nan pierce. she’s a milf. she wants her every social interaction to pass the bechdel test. she’s rich and she wants to be richer. she’s thinks she’s left but she’s actually a liberal but she’s actually a conservative. she’s a karen. she’s super fucking annoying. she’s in a 30 year lesbian situationship. she has peasant tastes. she’s a hypocrite. she got cucked by logan roy. what more could you ever want in a character

There is a vitally important NanRhea headcanon that I forgot to post with the others, and it's that Rhea enjoys reality TV and will relax watching her housewives in the evenings while Nan thinks it's all low IQ gutter trash. HOWEVER...if Rhea has it on and Nan walks by, she will oftentimes stop to stand there watching it too and make commentary to Rhea 😭 Rhea says that she's welcome to sit down and join her if she wants to watch too, to which Nan always says "I'm not watching it 🙄"

Please please please can we get some nanrhea thoughts 🙏 I’ve just recently discovered this new beautiful old lady yuri and I’m obsessed with ever single one of your takes on them and need more

Here's a bunch for you!!! 🥰🥰🥰 (NSFW ones are marked with a fire emoji in case you need to scroll past or scroll directly to them lol) Idk how much I've posted about these topics before, so apologies if I'm repeating myself....also I love that you love NanRhea, they're SO special to me, if you want more specifics on anything I'd be happy to share my ideas and I'd love to hear yours too!!!

- We know from their conversation at Argestes that Nan doesn't get a lot of sleep. I like the idea that she will occasionally take medication for this and Rhea will get texts at 2am straight out of r/ambien, or if they're together that night she'll talk in her sleep and Rhea thinks it's adorable (Nan will not remember doing this and deny it up and down)

- Rhea makes Nan crazy, more than she even recognizes. Her assistant is like "uhh are you okay" when Nan tells her to invite Rhea to the California estate to meet with her on the day of Logan's funeral and ONLY on the day of Logan's funeral. To Nan, it's a power move forcing Rhea to choose between her and Logan again, but to everyone else it's a terminal case of You Want To Fuck Her So Bad It Makes You Look Stupid. Rhea just has that effect on people 💘

- Nan does not allow PDA due to being closeted out of necessity, but Rhea loves it and loves being the trophy girlfriend on her partner's arm to accentuate/heighten their power and success (she knows she's successful and attractive and desirable lol) but also putting it in the public eye makes the fact that someone wants her specifically Real - it's evidence that she's succeeded in pleasing the other person, and has stability at their side. She understands why Nan can't/won't give her this, but she can't help dreaming of a world in which circumstances were different, as much for Nan's sake as her own.

- All that being said, Rhea will sometimes pull Nan aside at an event or family gathering or something and act like she has something serious to talk about, then when Nan leans down to listen, Rhea just kisses her cheek 🤭

- At the time of the show, Rhea sees the writing on the wall for PGM and their brand of liberal elitism. She very much wants this to be the catalyst for Nan finally forsaking her legacy and adapting to a world that's outlived it's need for things like that, bc she wants to see her free of the constraints that come with her position in the world. It breaks Rhea's heart when she declines the opportunity, not just because she's abandoning her, but because she's throwing away her chance to get out and be free.

- 🔥 Rhea is almost always the one to initiate sex (formally, anyway - it's not uncommon for Nan to look at her Like That and do everything but ask for it LOL, and Rhea always knows what she needs...though sometimes she'll pretend to be oblivious until Nan says it directly and punishes her for being so cheeky ❤️) and I think their dynamic is rather interesting...Nan always demands her pleasure from Rhea, who is all too happy to be ordered around and used as Nan likes. Nan generally believes she has enough of an emotional and financial hold on Rhea to keep her around, but there are times that she worries that Rhea will leave if she pushes her too far. On such occasions Nan will turn the tables on her and see to it that she's VERY well taken care of (this also happens when someone, namely Logan, tries to flirt with her lol). Rhea knows exactly what she's doing and gets off on Nan's worry that she'll leave as much as on getting fucked, bc there's nothing she wants more than to be indispensable.

- 🔥 Relatedly, Rhea gets plenty of satisfaction from pleasing her partner, so whether she's on the receiving end or not isn't really a problem for her.

- Also, I think Nan was a bit of a casanova in her younger days LOL her gap year in France was craaaazyyyyy

- I think that in order for them to have a healthy relationship in the future, Nan would have to realize Rhea isn't something she can possess. I think for Rhea the needed thing was to choose herself really and truly, which she of course did by leaving Nan's (and then Logan's) gilded cage, so I think there IS hope for them...

- Frank thinks Rhea is good for Nan and is more than happy to meddle to get them back together. I think he told her when Rhea abandoned the Waystar job (despite her being on vacation in BC to think about anything BUT that little minx) which causes her to pace the kitchen at 3 am with her hands behind her back like a detective haunted by a cold case she can't crack

- I like to imagine an AU where they could/would get married cos I feel like it would be a big Shakespearean production lol

Everybody at Pierce knows why the CEO gets so excited when the Chairwoman shows up 🤭 They think they're sneaky about it, but NanRhea is just too real ❤️
