Anti-Role Model: According to Culkin and Snook, Shiv and Roman look at how much of an open wound Kendall can be, and how he's treated in the family because of it, and clam up their own emotions in response.

Because You Were Nice to Me: He's so used to Logan either not giving affection or using touch as control, that he's cried at least three times from someone actually being kind to him and comforting him.

His Own Worst Enemy: Many of his failures can be attributed to a combination of unchecked substance abuse, hubris, shame, self-loathing, and a desperate need to please his father.

I Did What I Had to Do: Kendall really hates him-self, and a lot of the time he can't even convince his own mind of this, but he tries to tell himself he's good because he agonizes over every choice (which of course people don't see and so they think of him as weak).

Love Martyr: Kendall has an unfortunate tendency to think if he's getting humiliated that means whoever is doing actually loves him. Strong: When you grow up in a house full of abuse, you come to associate forms of abuse with forms of love. They become indistinguishable.

Nice to the Waiter: Ironically enough, and while he's still vain and self-absorbed, he's the one who will pay any kind of halfway decent attention to staff characters, even if a lot of it is out of wanting to be retraumatise himself.

Puppy-Dog Eyes: He's pretty good at the "eyes wet with unshed tears" look, although it never works on anyone in-universe. Logan openly complains about them, calling them the "doggy evils".

Thousand-Yard Stare: Almost his default mode, even his younger self in the credits is sitting dissociating while the rest of the family talk at the table.

Tragic Dream: It's made clear that Kendall would be happier doing anything other than becoming CEO, up to and including being kidnapped and held in a cow shed, but he's been groomed (with plenty of subtext of the other kind of grooming) his whole life into thinking this means he's worth literally anything to his dad.

Tragic Hero: Kendall Roy has the potential to be a good person; hell, he even has the potential to be a good CEO. Unfortunately, his immaturity, excessive pride, and total lack of self-worth ruin anything he attempts to do, leaving him in a constant cycle of being broken and alone.

What do you guys think Roman’s screenplay was about?

I really can’t decide what genre it would be, what the themes would be, etc. Like, I think he definitely has it within himself to write something funny and biting.. I know the show implies through Kendall that it was bad, and it would definitely be more in line with the tone if it was, but Roman’s got a real emotional intelligence/self awareness that I think could be interesting in a creative work.

If Jesse were to decide, he’d probably say it was something like that new Ben Shapiro trite Lady Ballers.. but this is the same guy who said Roman will have friends to go to after the finale which is like ?? have you watched your own show? So I guess I’m just curious, in a death-of-the-author sense, what the Roman community can cook up about our favorite emotionally stunted boy
