michael scofield is th best character in the world because he’s got so many emotions constantly leaking outta him in waves of pain (or whatevr mitski said) like i think a lot of this is how irl gay man wentworth miller plays him but he displays so much vulnerability and even in his interactions with sara (which ok arguably exist in a different sphere because he’s not being watched by other men in the infirmary) the positive emotions or the flirty emotions he displays are far more open than are socially acceptable for a man (let alone a man in his position) and like im currently on 1x17 in which sara says she doesnt go for nice guys but the tortured ones she can fix and like. michael DOES fit that mold but only bc he quite literally does have tortured issues that are on constant display in prison, not because he’d go around pretending he doesnt have them just to have The Wife Back Home fix him about it. i cant put words to it. he’s so real.

#1x17 is the one where he's in solitary trying to remember the part of his tattoo thats burned off so he starts punching the wall till he #bleeds so he can use that to redraw it out and then sara has to come in cause he's catonic #catatonic* and then. and THEN. he puts his head on her knee. and its like. oh i get it now. no one else could have played this role.#but also like when it's saras bday in ep like idk 10 or smth and she throws out her dad's flowers #and they have Banter about her not wanting to be tied down by clutter and michael goes 'yeah ur right its rly overwhelming in here'#and sara says 'u should see my appartment' and michael goes 'woah :)' ... tender little roguish smile.....#even in his flirting he's a human being. which is not how men usually are.#aurgh he is so impt thts all #pb lb
