tww was so real for the scene where Joey Lucas (light of my life love her) says to Josh “if you polled 100 Donnas and asked them if they think we should go out, you’d get a high positive response. What that wouldn’t tell you is that it’s because she likes you and she thinks it’s beginning to show and she’s trying to cover herself with misdirection” (a take that is both BOLD and ACCURATE) and then Josh replies “believe me when I tell you that’s not true” with the biggest smile on his face and in his voice. Like buddy. Josh……. That’s not how a man who doesn’t want that to be true says that.

i think it is criminal. CRIMINAL. that josh lyman and joey lucas never dated on the west wing. i know donna was always their endgame but they had more chemistry that scene where joey lifts his chin so she can read his lips than every single scene with josh's other love interests combined

josh is just a shy boy!!! my heart swells at the scene where he tells joey he wore a suit for her and it’s not “his regular tuesday” suit. he liked her sm. the soft “yes” when she says “for me?” please west wing writers you need to be brought in for your crimes against joshjoey.

josh lyman LOVED so deeply…his romantic relationships with other woman are often criticized in misogynistic ways or reduced to josh just being a man that’s just what he does, but i think it’s more nuanced than that and i get that we joke i just want to ramble abt josh…i find it quite cute how vulnerable he was when it came to pursuing a relationship with joey, from the suit to the mug to the unfortunate encounter with al kiefer. i think it’s the little moments like where he tells amy where he missed the part where everyone learned how to function in relationships (i loosely summarize) so telling. his whole relationship with donna…really what more could be said? lightly put, i think it’s the greatest love story of all time. with all that said, he expressed his love the best way he could with his past informing his actions..ended up in relationships that didn’t last (i forgot mandy 😭) but surely not for a lack of trying (maybe a lack of trying by the writers). he may not have loved these women aside from donna, but i think it’s incredible to see how he navigates his crushes and how it reveals so much. at the end of it all, the platonic and romantic love is rooted in his fear of losing anyone, and his love for his work is sometimes prioritized over all else. the presence of love and how deep he loves that informs his character is just something i love. i think i came into this reflecting on a tweet that rubbed me the wrong way but ended up rambling LOL.

josh/joey and some kind of campaign au
"I heard that!" Josh shouted but also tapped his ear twice.
Joey blinked in surprise glancing at Kenny who also looked surprised.
"You?" Joey replied back and Josh nodded.
"We are working on the same team after all, it's important that we are able to com- Hang on." Josh paused as he slowly tried to finger spell out the word communicate.
Joey shook her head and gently put his hand down to stop him. She then form each of her hands into a C and started to move them fowards and backwards for a moment.
"Communicate."
"Yeah. Something like that," Josh said sheepishly. He tried to ignore how the physical contact from Joey was making him feel. He shook his head as if to shake the feeling and sighed softly. "Look. I know what it's like to be the new guy on the trail, I just don't want you to feel left out."
Joey watched both Josh's lips and read Kenny's translation next to her. She nodded and smiled back, "Thank you."
It's only when she turned to leave to back to work did Josh remember what started this conversation in the first place.
"And don't call me a jackass!"
