listening to Too Sweet for the first time and, damn, Crowley never got his flat back, did he? can't believe he's been crashing on Hozier's couch all this time drinking booze and waxing lamentations about his angel. strange world we live in
I don’t understand it when people say that Carrie was also the problem bc she was anxiously attached bc like …. maybe she had a moment or two but for the most part it was absolutely Big being such a selfish prick and then justifying it w “ohhh I have commitment issues bc my last marriage fell through” umm ur a 45 year old BABY actually
Twitter ship chart or something. Hate these guys.
Paragraphs in the lower half below the cut, for whoever wants a closer look.
What draws them together?
-The fact that both want to learn about the other. The other person is unique, strange. Not like everyone else, yet continues to provide for the other. They're both in this line of work so they're bound to form a bond. Just not one they can put a label on. It isn't romance but its still some fucked up form of intimacy and trust.
What stands in the way?
-Both are actually shitass people and neither have the time nor
mental state for an actual healthy, romantic relationship. I call this the "in another life" situation. Where if things literally weren't they way they are now and they weren't such shitty people, they would've had a chance at something normal and happy and healthy.
What are their good traits?
-At times they can respect each other. There's a mutual, unspoken agreement of "You need me, I need you." And due to that, they can still work affectively while also showing the other that they're there for them. That's about it outside of that, neither of them are gonna have a talk about what they are and if this is actually healthy or if they're both just infatuated with the other.
What makes them hopeless at romance?
-Isn't even defined as romance, not to them anyways.
Its moreso partnership. Doc has the idea that Hank is replaceable. That whatever may happen, he doesn't ACTUALLY need him. There are plenty of people at his disposal. It just so happens that the local Killing Machine will listen sometimes and is a valuable asset to him.
While Hank sees Doc as a tool. Something to get him closer to
his goals no matter what, even if its selfish. He knows it is.
Hank knows that Doc will continue mending him and piecing him back together. He KNOWS he's valuable but wont be replaced, at least not anytime soon. But that doesn't mean he never questions why Doc does the things he does. Neither of them are gonna ask any time soon.
