i think one of the best subtleties of challengers is we all think art has matured because he got what he wanted - tashi and fame - and tashi and patrick are still immature teens but art hasn’t! he’s still a stunted adult, a literal teenager in the body of an adult who puts on this facade of maturity and wisdom to hide the fact that he’s deeply hurting inside because he does not want to be perceived as childish or immature, he does not want people to know he still ruminates over being the second choice lurking in the shadows of patrick and tashi - because even as an adult he still is. he can’t exist with tashi and he can’t exist without and so he becomes this blank nothingness and does what she says to feel something - approved, desired - so he does not become the bitter and jealous child that broke up tashi and patrick and ultimately led to tashi injuring herself. he is literally nothing more than tashi’s partner (as she is to him too) and has to pretend he’s okay with that so he doesn’t lose everything he’s built like he did when he was 18 and in love with his best friend and his best friend’s girlfriend.

Now I know we don’t all agree on who Lily’s father is, and that’s fine. But thinking about her being Patrick’s and…

Art guessing (knowing in his gut) that something happened in Atlanta and it might’ve been the last time he saw Patrick as well

Seeing Lily and seeing the little things she did that reminded Art of Patrick and Tashi’s sick to her stomach but Art loves her for it

Loves her mischievous spirit, her open affection. Her love of hotel rooms, a wanderer’s soul that Art knows is Patrick and he treasures every part of it because it is the only thing he has of his ex-(unrequited lover) best friend

When Tashi leaves to go to Patrick that night, Art knows and he lets her. He doesn’t sleep in their bed (it doesn’t feel like theirs anymore) and goes to Lily instead. He finds comfort in knowing though Patrick may have Tashi, Art has a piece of them both with him, the best parts of them.

fun fact: Boston Museum of Science calls their evening lecture series “SubSpace”, which would be a totally innocuous math term except for the fact that, to make sure you know these lectures are higher-level and not aimed at their usual audience (kids), they chose to subtitle it “SubSpace: Adult Experiences”

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
