As I’m attempting to organize the scattered bits of Succession lore and headcanons as provided by the actors and/or the primary creative directors (Jesse Armstrong and Mark Mylod), I thought it might be helpful to create a pinned menu for folks to navigate lore posts more easily. The goal here is just to make this material accessible, not to impose any strict reading on the show or to dictate what is or isn’t a “right” reading. The positions here are simply reposted for general fandom access.
Below the cut are links to the gathered bits of lore organized by character. Let me know if it would also be helpful to use another denomination system and/or if there’s anything else you’d like to see added – ask box is always open!
Note: This will be updated regularly via edits as more lore is added.

“So what’s this fishing thing? I don’t remember.” “Oh yeah, that was Connor, actually. Connor took me on that. But, you know… Single, multi-use, happy childhood memory, so. Yeah.”
