Why is there such a tenderness in me to want to take care of someone, to help stop the pain of someone who caused me so much pain?

Isn't it very funny how jonsas are yapping that jonerys foreshadowing is negative and then proceed to claim that loveless marriage where one of them dies and another remmaries is the biggest evidence for jonsa

Well to be fair, they don't actually read the books so they don't know that sdksdkdsksd. As with everything they're only looking at the surface level of things and ignoring the context.

constantly battling the beauty that is finding love in life and not life situations vs finding peace in another human. falling hopelessly and carelessly in love. pouring all of myself into one human being and being okay with suffering from the crippling pain of being left behind.

i love you character arc that makes them question their beliefs, i love you heart wrenching discovery, i love you finding out that everything they stood for, that was preached to them for their whole life, is a lie, i love you being stripped of everything that they thought represented them, that made them who they are, making them feel like the solid ground is missing from under their feet. i love you lae'zel

Mick was just not as overtly affectionate as Keith, but there are times when Mick is looking at Charlie or teasing Charlie or making Charlie laugh and I’m like “damn, he’s just as bad as Keith!” And Charlie, as is his wont, is largely oblivious. I don’t think a man has ever been more oblivious to the adoration of people surrounding him, which only adds to their adoration! And when they do express it, like Lisa, he runs away.

This is so, so true.

And while I could (would like to?) trot out a million examples here, from looking after Charlie’s food intake during his cancer treatments to personally helping with/supporting all aspects of his jazz ventures, we’ll go for elegant minimalism this time. I think it gets the point across just as well.

Exhibit A -> How Mick looks at Charlie when they’re shooting the cover for Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out in 1970:

Exhibit B -> The way Mick’s face absolutely transforms, more than 30 years later, when a journalist tells him how Charlie praised him:

Also, because I’m an inveterate liar, a bonus exhibit. Or how one well-timed joke from Charlie, when his singer was basically propped up against his legs, could make Mick fall totally to pieces and prompt *judgement* from the set design guy:

She thought about it constantly but mostly she just tried to convince herself that this pain she was feeling was irrational.

That's what a person does. We make excuses for other people. We invent reasons why something is off or odd or wrong. We give people a latitude of empathy that sometimes is warranted and sometimes isn't. That's what a person does. Or at least that's what a woman does.
