more thoughts on greg that i’m only putting in tags bc it feels wrong to just make a post
#my relationship to fandom’s greg is. complex#on one hand it’s nice to see myself in a character and be able to find a bunch of stuff about said character being gay#but 1. that’s not my truest perception of the actual character and 2. it’s so much tomgreg#tom and greg as an entity is a concept with deeply interesting character possibilities. but tom and greg as a relationship is so artificial#*romantic/sexual relationship. obviously they have a relationship that is very character-driven#even stuff where they’re weird exes years down the line relies on the assumption that they did date each other#which is like. the way i see it tom’s Thing ab greg is not greg’s problem and he will continue to attempt to emulate stasis#emulate because obviously he’s making huge changes in his life for financial benefit. but his own ambition is relatively small (vs tom’s)#also when i say greg is autistic i feel like i need to clarify i’m not saying like Fandom Autism if that makes sense#he is not a soft little bean he is all of my worst traits almalgamated and some of those are from my being autistic#tbh most of the characters i relate to are not for their good qualities. i understand them but i don’t want it#the way i view greg is somewhat similar to how i view amy dunne if that make sense?#like i feel like i know them. i get why they do what they do and i see parts of myself that i don’t like#but at the end of the day i’m not going to frame anyone for murder or sue greenpeace. and i don’t condone those things.#this is incoherent this is why it’s tags and not a post. tags are the place for incoherence#actually amy dunne is not as apt for comparison as louis ironson. that’s the ticket
