#MY BELOVED GREGLOVER MUTUALS THIS GOES OUT TO ALL YALL

[gregoftom]

the fact that greg's still willing to give love all the time even when he gets so rejected. always gives kind words, gives hugs. it's just like. yeah he can be a slimeball and a social climber but he's also, like, good? he'd be a friend that loves you. it's just, really nice? his instinct is to be loving and grateful and supportive. honestly people should be way more appreciative of him

SHAKES YOUR HAND VERY HARD!!!!!! it's actually so true. he can and yeah but like. i think a lot of people forget that greg is quite literally the only one in there with jack shit to fall back on? like. what would You do. their instinct might be to say, "oh i would never do that, i would never become what he did, i would never be a schmoozer like that, i'd never be selfish and be an asskisser and do whatever i could to survive when i know that my closer family barely give a fuck about me and wouldn't provide support when i need it" and it's like.

lmao. like if you were in that situation, are you sure? are you quite sure? anyway. yeah he still has love to give despite what has happened to him like he's still a pretty amicable guy despite that like, mostly he's pretty friendly and like if you know what to do with him [provide support, love, safety and comfort] he is literally yours forever. in s4 he was tom's supporter, defender and threw ppl under the bus in tom's name. the only reason he """"""betrayed"""""""" tom in the finale [which he didn't but that's a whole other kettle of fish] was because tom was withholding these things from him. he kind of... backslid a little. not terribly, certainly not to the same point as when they started out, but to the point of being kind of like, dismissive of greg, unappreciative, ignoring his opinions a little bit, and it felt like a kind of step back from their promise at the end of s3. i think greg expected to be more on equal ground [and in ssssome ways they were? but not to the level that greg wanted] and for tom to trust him more with information and like. let him in on the battle more? like. greg does like being taken care of it's true, but tom was trying to shoulder Everything alone and then ignoring anything greg did for him like following his request or protecting him or lightening his load. it was another romcom miscomm which is classic for them, which led to to greg's frustration and helped power his retaliation in the bathroom like, sure tom is mad at him but at the same time greg is a little affronted like, you completely ignored me trying to help you and then were flaky as fuck on where things were wrt me and my position and what was going to happen, what do you expect when i get scared and i feel like things are stirring? plus i'm literally doing what you taught me and praised me for?

ANYWAY lol sorry the point is, when greg goes behind people's back or whatever it's for survival/to protect himself. even when he did actually do something detrimental specifically to tom e.g. when he ratted to gerri he is quite literally terrified lmfao and is having all this shit like foisted upon him, i think he deserves a little like. slack? lol? like he didn't do it with cruel intent. ofc it was selfish but like. so is literally everybody else in the show???? it's the bad people show. surprise!!!! this doesn't negate his positive qualities yet people just won't afford him the same nuance as they give to literally everybody else.

SORRY DSJKSD this turned into a blorbo rant but basically, yeah. your ask; mwah! chefs kiss!
