already pondering "what if there's even less of a boundary b/w tmc & the larger fund at the end of the season" whether via a choice entirely in taylor's hands, entirely out of it, or in between; and also noting things like "specific winston & tuk moment last episode & next episode's production pics ft. winston standing with tuk & ben in a scene in which taylor & rian are present but also standing separately?" like it probably wouldn't happen but considering at this point, along the lines of how at any given point it would make sense for winston to just walk out (he can leave), that Just Winston could just slide over to the general zone vs being in tmc specifically b/c it's both like, as hard as [rian & winston also hang out outside of work by now] indicates some kind of friendship, it's still never even clear cut / a Non Mixed Bag of rian acting like she doesn't consider him a friend in earnest; And you've got taylor interacting seriously nigh exclusively with rian since 5x08 & sure not having a sidebar with winston where he assures them he'll back them (we can probably assume he will like we & they could always assume winston won't just quit on them, but it'd probably only help to act like you care about it / Don't take him entirely for granted) like idk shrug yeah i support you taylor but you seem to have it covered working w/rian & not especially want or claim to need me around soooo probably neither of you should care if i scoot over here, right.....and who knows if they would lol

#winston billions #could be a bit of work impeding tension b/w rian and taylor where it'd be Great to have winston around as a mediator / third party actually #but yknow after over a season of nobody's consistent positive feedback / particular attention....bit late to send the signal he's valued #it's both true that Do Not Separate Them (winston & taylor; primarily) (winston & rian next) but like #also that part of this is [there could in fact be less of a need for a tmc / owner fund] boundary out here #already thinking that's the case even if it's smthing like a) tmc still def exists b) taylor (& maybe philip) run the Whole place #c) rian & winston are maybe somewhat promoted / Basically run tmc even if taylor's still formally in charge / do the day to day....#but otherwise it's like a) for the most part it's been that often rian may as well be taylor's only employee cuz winston doesn't get to #talk to them or do anything when it could be written so that rian does it; why should he feel like taylor totally needs his support;#esp since when rian was introduced (just before; technically) they specify they do not *need* him (at least not literally) like oh ok #never amended that so why should he Assume they Would amend it / that they feel differently now #and if rian's busy with taylor & at this point Still isn't even like an actual friend then why feel an Especial tie to tmc there either #and like he probably wouldn't think abt defecting; he's The taylor mason loyalist & he's Been Aboard The Whole Damn Time & furthermore #he doesn't really have reason to think he'd get better on the general trading floor; maybe tuk is the friendliest party to him but like #prince was Uniquely shitty to winston in episode one for no reason; unless he was sucking up to rian by agreeing w/her Pwning Him lol #and prince is a) Not Taylor and b) annoying so like. could be tolerable esp if he's usually elsewhere / busy but lord #scooter as a possible proxy is always like ''watch This stunt: [so far doesn't feel the need to dunk on winston]''#even if he did feel the need to go ''ohhh my god are you millennials?? oh my goddd ughhhh'' like can you two simmer down #and if he does feel any inclination to dunk on winston? the trick to it is this: he just doesn't anyways #anyways i wouldn't necessarily want either separation obviously but if he's just matter of factly like #''i mean you guys wouldn't care; right? if so the fact i've never had reason to think otherwise might still be justification to sidle out''#like well who can really argue....i can't. and again if there's less of a boundary anyways then shrug less of a separation too #Just Concepts Pondered....
