Joey Drew is Gay and there's no way around it (Pt 6)

Finally, to finish my Joeysplaining.

Firstly, Donaldson and Eckhart.

Joey seemed to get along well with them, and Nathan gives us the not-so-needed confirmation that these two men were in fact real people. Nathan also notes that Joey relayed their personalities with a great deal of accuracy.

Joey mentions later that they went overseas and died in the war.

It's open to interpretation whether or not he was interested in them, but I feel that's irrelevant. Their presence in his life and later deaths seems to have left a lasting impact.

(I could go on a whooole tangent about how losing his friends to war could have played into his fear of death AND how it was maybe another reason why he tried so hard to keep an iron grip on Henry, buuut that's frankly bordering on theory territory sooo I'll reel it back in.)

Since that's about it for Donaldson and Eckhart, we'll hop skip and jump over to Bertrum now.

There's this interaction, which happens towards the end of the autobiography:

Here we see Joey missing the point entirely. Bertrum was making a joke, the joke being "funny" because they aren't actually on a date. Them dating would be a silly concept from his perspective.

This flies over Joey's head. Joey is literally tipsy and still trying to figure out if Bertrum is playing hard to get or not. WHICH WOULD BE IRRELEVANT TO A STRAIGHT MAN. I'M JUST SAYING.

He also calls him "Bert/Bertie" a few times which just leaves me with more questions than answers. Sir, how many of your original staff do you have a crush on? Be honest, now.

Bonus: Joey serving his country by wishing that his fellow soldiers would change uniform a little slower.

Bonus 2: Joey what is this

TL;DR

At this point, it makes more sense narratively speaking if Joey is gay, or at the very least, queer. This mainly shows in the way he went about trying to create a family, his attitudes towards the various men in his life in both Illusion of Living and the Bendy game series, and finally, the fact that he shoved a bunch of art and band kids in the same brick rectangle with no air conditioning and expected things to work out.

weak hero class 1 rant because it’s 4am and im in my feelings and idk how else to deal with them *cracks knuckles* please don’t expect me to be coherent

it’s because of a twitter thread i made and i just wanted to elaborate more

if you didn’t click the link here’s what i said “this montage gets me every time because you realize sooho’s bright personality hid the fact that he was just as alone as sieun was, always sleeping at school for working part-time a lot, probably the reason why he had no friends, also refers to himself as the hyung with his peers. then the montage sequence ends with sieun being considerate, not turning the lights on like he did before and studying in the dark to not disturb sleeping sooho. the same day sieun wakes him up to have lunch together and they unexpectedly click.. in a way it was a friendship built from understanding how differently they lived but also similarly alone, and having each other made their lives a little brighter and i think that’s beautiful.”

also this hyunwook interview..

—

i can’t seem to stop overthinking about the little detail that sooho refers to himself as the hyung (형 - older brother) with his same-aged peers (동갑). in korea, age is a huge deal and it dictates most of their social cues, who to respect and how much respect is given. and i can just imagine how arrogant his peers might find him for referring to himself as the hyung, it’s like he acts all high and mighty amongst them.

am not puting all clips of him doing this but i remember the incident with baseball kids in the first ep he told them to bring the passed out dude to the nurse’s office and said “형이 이름 말하면 뒤진다,” literally means “if you say hyung’s (my) name, you’re dead.” (and they aren’t even his same-aged friends because someone murmured “but we’re older than him..” still, they’re high schoolers all the same) in ep 2 “형이라고 부르고싶냐?” literally means “do you wanna call me hyung now?” (or “do you wanna give me respect now?”) in ep 3 while playing pool he said “형이 하는거 잘 봐라,” literally means “watch carefully how hyung does (i do) it.”

[edit: i remembered another instance. in ep 1, yeongbin’s group bothering sieun again in the classroom. sooho was disturbed from his sleep, “why are guys so chatty these days? 형 잠도 못 자게. 형 자도 돼? 응?” literally goes “hyung (i) can’t even sleep (with u mfs being loud). can hyung (i) sleep? hmm?” official subs: “someone’s trying to sleep here. can i sleep in peace? please?”]

i think he does it because he knows he was forced to grow up fast due to his living situation, and in his eyes this made his same-aged peers /more/ childlike(?) and immature compared to him, who’s already grown up and has adult big boy responsibilities to worry about than silly little exams and high school social hierarchy. he’s extroverted and has a sunshine personality, blunt and honest to anyone he talks to. he always knows what to say to kids his age to feel shame for the bullshit they pull. even with older people, the baseball kids, to gilsu “나이 먹고 그게 자랑이야?”

so yeah sleeping a lot at school due to working part-time for hours may have contributed to him not having friends (hello he follows like 5 people in instagram, such a skinny ratio with his 1k+ followers) but also he probably found it hard to relate and saw no reason to put effort in hanging out with them outside inevitable campus interactions. until sieun. sieun who sooho calls a weirdo, who’s really interesting, whose eyes say how empty he must feel inside but you can see the fire in them. sooho probably thought sieun would never initiate a conversation with him but he did approach him for lunch that one time. and finds himself enjoying the company. now he grew to love showing sieun that there’s more to life than studying hard and preparing for college. it’s all mundane things, eating, gaming, karaokeing, playing pool, “let’s drive all night long,” friendship and the kind of company that their families and other people couldn’t give.

sooho’s all sun and bright but he hasn’t found his person until sieun came along. both of them were very self-sacrificial, ready to risk it all and harm anyone to protect each other. i might just forever ache for sooho ending up on his deathbed after going apeshit seeing sieun hide the injury he got on sooho’s behalf.. and sieun throwing away his whole future when he went and hurt everyone who did that to sooho..

it hits different after i read the equivalent chapters in the webtoon because the suho-sieun-focused friendship story was prolonged for the drama adaptation. sooho was kinda not that interesting in the webtoon so i loved everything they changed and added for his character in the drama. but also like im upset because now im endlessly attached to him.. [edit: in case i piss off webtoon!suho lovers, it’s a personal preference. i love him too but i just cant help but be more emotionally attached to drama!suho] like fuck why did they have to write such a tragic friendship story between highschoolers im fucking done

end of rant ugh i hate myself for this
