I’ve reached 1x09 in my Lone Star rewatch, and I’m having a lot of thoughts about TK telling Owen’s hospital date Zoe that Carlos is his “boyfriend, who I don’t really even know is my boyfriend, boyfriend.” I love this moment because it gives us some much-needed insight into where TK’s head is regarding his relationship with Carlos. When we get to this episode, we haven’t seen TK and Carlos interact in any substantial way since 1x03 (with the exception of brief moments in 1x05 where they don’t even talk to each other). For a good portion of season 1, we’re left with very little to help us understand what TK is really feeling.
TK is clearly struggling in both 1x09 and 1x10, trying to figure out if he’s in the right place and the right profession. When Zoe asks him who he normally talks to about this kind of thing, he immediately thinks of Carlos and first refers to him as his “boyfriend” before backtracking a little. I find this so fascinating and would love to know exactly what TK’s thought process is here.
TK obviously has feelings for Carlos but there is something in the way preventing him from taking that next step and defining what they are. Is it really just the fact that he’s confused about what he’s doing with his life? Is it insecurity caused by how his relationship with Alex ended? Is he just feeling generally unsure and trying to protect himself from being hurt again?
And speaking of 1x10, I really love that episode, particularly the Tarlos parts of it, but I would have loved it even more if we could have had even a single line of dialogue from TK connecting the dots a little on why he changed his answer to Carlos between the beginning of the episode and the end. In his speech to the other firefighters, he explains clearly why his perspective on where he wants to be and what he wants to be doing has changed. Are we just to assume that once this confusion was cleared up, TK’s feelings about Carlos simply fell into place? That’s not quite satisfying enough for me. I can’t accept that TK’s answer to Carlos that he has “no idea” what they are is solely because of his career confusion. We’ll see if rewatching 1x10 gives me any further insights into this. If anyone has any thoughts about this (or anything Lone Star related, really) I would love to hear them!

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.
love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.
love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.
love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.
maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.
recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.
