"The sex tells the story, so it never felt gratuitous to me. The sex is character development. The sex is what is moving this relationship forward, and watching it change over time."

what's the point of initiating conversations with people when 99.9% of them turn out to be normies

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

okay. how do I put this. if you approach interactions with strangers as if the vast majority of them are unbearable losers who aren't worth your time, you will find yourself not liking most of the people you meet because you'll be looking for any excuse to write them off as unbearable losers. I know this is hard to hear but sometimes the problem is you.

[strawberry-crocodile]

also, if you approach interactions with strangers as if the vast majority of them are unbearable losers who aren't worth your time, most of them will notice and react accordingly by treating you like youre a pretentious prick instead of opening up

[maximusthewolfe]

if you instead approach everyone like you are genuinely interested in getting to know them well enough to see if you want to keep them in your little collection of amazing weirdos and treasured nerds, you'll find a lot more to love about humanity and connection. you'll unlock parts of your brain you didn't even realize were there bc they were forgotten or buried so long ago. you'll find new hobbies and interests and cool shit to add to your watch or listen lists. people are incredible, but you have to treat them like they can be before you get to see that.

"i also don't know if langdon is going to relapse. i don't know if whitaker's gonna be able to take care of my shit. i don't know if javadi's gonna give up on what she's good at or if samira's gonna flame out because of some bullshit with her mother. i don't know about you running around with a full syringe of versed in your pocket."

[maximusthewolfe]

this shit messed me up good. like really? you're gonna name them all one by one and feel responsible for their failures or successes but you're not gonna turn around and realize that they all also feel responsible for yours? they care about you back? bruh. BRUH.

NED BROWER as JESSE VAN HORN THE PITT — 2.11, “5:00 PM”

[maximusthewolfe]

i would go to war for this man

[noah-wyles]

*inhales shakily*

[maximusthewolfe]

guys i just think the point is that they are making his ideation obvious to us, the viewers, and that almost guarantees they are not going to kill him. that would not be a satisfying story arc and while i have seen shows pull the absolute shittiest version of "here's a depressed character with suicidal ideation, obviously the only possible ending is that they kill themselves" (looking at you The Magicians......), that is not the stuff this show is made of. we see duke recognize it in robby's promise to stay until his CT is done and read, we see the crack in his façade when the camera lingers on him after al-hashimi explains brenda's attempt. we see it in the desperation with which he tells mohan to keep it all out. in the way he avoids langdon like the plague.

with each hour that passes, it becomes more obvious, and that leads me to believe they have a much more interesting story to tell. plus, no one is in any rush to get the genius, craft-dedicated wyle off screen.

[maximusthewolfe]

The thing about this moment that gets me is not just that it’s a rare glimpse this season into his empathy and the depth of care that he does have that we saw last season but how quickly it disappears!!! He’s shutting himself off from everyone and everything and it’s getting more and more obvious
