I thought of this because of this post by @papanorth, which is in turn based on a scene from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which is a great show.

finally ヽ(＾Д＾)ﾉ I finished this piece. it’s my first try of lineless art and I have way more fatigues than the number of Washingtons up there (also, last time I draw more than 3 characters in the same piece).
they’re basically the different headcannons of great RVB artists on turmblr.
from top left to bottom right (if you’re on desktop, just click on the zoom ins):
Actually the RvB gamerbro flavour can be so gourmet. No one ever talks about anything, no one is sincere, no one admits it, they all pine and suffer and love silently and burrow into their comfort hideout until the dam breaks and they finally show such real and raw feeling that they're unrecognisable to each other because they're so used to hiding everything behind a veneer of humorous masculinity and violence and metal and once it's over and the wave ebbs they mutually agree, without any words between themselves, to pretend it never happened. and they do, and it works but they never stop thinking about that one moment where they were just desperate animals in love and flesh and not armour. And then they put the guards back on, and they go back to war, and no one ever knew, not even the viewers not even the creators
The concept of Wash trying drugs and also Tuckington.
Now listen here. Don't do drugs kids it is objectively a stupid idea. I am not promoting this idea just thinking about it.
Tucker has definitely partied hard, and he is, above all, a lover. So I think it's very fair to say he might've tried some feelgood drugs, some liquid love, you know. He hears about poppers, he doesn't NEED them because he is That Good, but If someone offers it, especially a hot lady, is he gonna say no??
So one time, Wash is talking about his sessions with Dr. Grey, and how she mentioned psilocybin as a helping tool in therapy. And Wash is like, I can barely take normal painkillers without getting uncomfortable, I can't drink NyQuil, I don't even like drinking. Why would anyone think actual drugs are a good idea?? That's nuts.
And Tucker agrees, neither of them is really convinced it's a good idea. Tucker knows how much Wash hates having anything mess with his thinking and perceiving, and Wash just is not on this side of life, he barely partied even in his crazy years. Tucker did enjoy his crazy times and does remember some very positive benefits... but yeah, let's not mess with Wash's brain any more than we have to...
Until eventually Wash tells Tucker why he personally doesn't think it's worth trying; because he, Wash, doesn't think his brain is capable of feeling that good. The chemicals are just kaputt. He literally doesn't have it in him, and it would be a waste.
And then, Tucker goes "Okay wait wait I can tell you never did drugs because you say that NOOOWW-"
So maybe they try it. Just to prove a point. Wash thinks it won't do any good, might do some bad, and there is no point in even trying. Tucker thinks Wash might wanna try it, just to see what it's like to be out of his head in a good way, for once.
Wash says, if he is going to have anything alter his state of mind, he's not doing it alone, and he's not doing it with anyone else around either. Unless it's Tucker. Because he trusts Tucker to keep him safe and know when to call it quits or call for help or talk Wash down from whatever state he works himself into. Wash isn't even convinced a relaxing feel-good drug can be relaxing unless Wash is with someone he really, really trusts. So, if Wash even considers doing it.... he wants Tucker to be there.
And Tucker thinks to himself, oh shit I didn't talk about the horny effects of some drugs because I thought it would freak him out I don't know if Wash would actually want me around him when he's like that.
What if Tucker takes it first, to show Wash how it turns out?
NO THAT'S WORSE, Tucker thinks, I WILL GET RESLLY HORNY AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHUT UP ABOUT MY FEELINGS AT THE SA,E TIME (never talk about feelings during, says tucker!!) AND IT'LL BE SUPER WEIRD.
But Wash seems interested now. And he needs all the help he can get. And he outright says he only trusts Tucker to go through it with him. And Tucker well and truly believes in the power of drugs because he's been there, and he just wants to prove to Wash that it's possible to feel good again. And science has come a long way, yknow! And Dr. Grey supports the science of it! And how can you hear someone say, I don't think it's possible for me to really feel happy, and not want to kick that thought far away?
This can only go badly.
(It doesn't. Wash doesn't get the horny effects (at least not right away) and the experience actually does benefit him. It's the first time he fully relaxes in like, actual years, and he says outright that it's only because he has someone arounds he trusts with those feelings (which is a part of the drug, but another part of the drug, is that it's hard to lie). Tucker is the world's best tripsitter and keeps his hands to himself (when necessary (which isn't often (the drugs im thinking of do not actually erode your boundaries so the 'no i dont want to' is still very clear and valid))). They talk about feelings enough to make up for whole lives of emotional constipation and then they cuddle. Wash admits that his brain is not too broken to feel new and good things, and agrees to think about considering a dual therapy-and-very-controlled-doses. Tucker thinks he got away with it, phew, but..., it was nice. Not just fun and surface-level pleasant, it felt good. And if Wash thinks it helps, and he wants to try again... (well. If they get to that point. Sex can have mental and physical benefits too! (Aint that a happy coincidence)))
