#i mean i think the shadowstalker incident does fit the original meme albeit he doesn’t ask for permission#and then alec ‘grew up in a sex cult’ vasil becomes the voice of reason compared to taylor motherfucking girlkissing hebert#i’m replying to you and not brain so i can be properly peer reviewed if you see fit

the thing is that "i'd kill for you please ask me to kill for you" / "no" is being used to indicate character 1, like, is really deeply caring about and dedicated to character 2 and expressing that in an insanely over the top way while character 2 is like [firmly, sighing] No. whereas alec doesn't even care about taylor all that much they are literally just like. coworkers/(in his head but not in taylor's) work buddies. And the thing is that he just has enough wrong with him to casually torture someone for a work buddy. but beyond that, "i am doing this to help taylor :)" is only a fraction of the reason why he did it--it was just the part he was consciously aware of. i've discussed before how much anger alec is liable to have towards heroes (cops)--from his PoV, they're people who get to happily participate in and be cared about by society despite having done nothing about his dad Ever + being de facto hostile towards him for circumstances he really can't control, and sophia is a cop. so there's likely a lot of jealous anger there. then there's the jealous anger we know he eventually realized he was experiencing over sophia having (from his PoV) a good family that cares about her. and Then there's the fact that she abused taylor, and he's thinking about his dad much of the time he's torturing her. he is doing a ridiculous amount of projecting/getting pissy about Unresolved Emotional Issues he's associating w/ sophia, and his idea that he's doing taylor a favor is rlly just the top layer he's actually capable of being aware of, not by any means the definitive part of the act.

also, taylor doesn't know about any of that shit. as far as she's concerned there's no "no." just him going "if i were u i woulda put lice on those guys....we could fuck w them for u if u want idk why u dont do anything" "I am not going to do anything dont fuck with it" "ok ig uess" and then it moves on

this but where the edgy dark character is the one saying no to murder and the pure innocent cupcake is the feral one
