Does Andrew love Ethan? Survey says: YES.

The caption isn't serious, by the way. There was no survey, though we may add one to the end of this post.

So! Onto the analysis: we know it's been awhile, but life is a bitch sometimes so here we are.

People may think that Andrew is trying to manipulated Ethan or the others again, which is VERY plausible!

But, we've seen many times how close Andrew and Ethan were before. I'll probably have to continue this as a two-part post since we will reach the image limit. But when Ethan rejected Andrew, someone who clearly had some sort of infatuation with him... how do you think Andrew felt? There are two possibilities as to WHY Andrew got Ethan in trouble here:

Either Andrew acted out to hurt Ethan for the rejection, going to his house and bringIng a flower to get him in trouble as revenge. OR (because we have seen how his father and the Lee family teaches "love"), Andrew may have delusioned himself to the point of thinking: "Ethan is playing hard to get... and he DOES love me... he just doesn't realize we're together... that he has to love me back..." etc. Andrew is fucked up to all hell, and I wouldn't be surprised if he fails to realize his stalking and obsession is not a healthy form of love.

But Andrew... why include Jo? Why include Johnathan, that had nothing to do with your plan?

"I'd even rather kiss Jo."

Ethan, upon rejecting Andrew, said he would rather be with someone else, someone who clearly isn't into him, nor is he into.

In "Johnathan, You're Stupid", Ethan, while talking about his newfound job (which comes after Andrew's betrayal and everything), tells Jo to "get out of (his) ass".

Look at him. His fucking eye twitch. At first we assumed it was annoyance with Jo's stupid and innocent response, but. It's jealousy. It was always Johnathan, wasn't it, Ethan?

"...to have fun with me and Johnathan"

He not only was potentially delusioned, but in the process wanted to make sure Ethan was forced to cut Jo out of his life. Getting rid of an opposing force for Andrew. Andrew is a fucking yandere because of his extremely unstable living environment and his lack of being taught the difference between actual love and obsession.

We will continue this in pt. 2

Dude I just saw someone who ships Andrew x Micah… (if y’all have seen Zeyn_Syre’s videos… you already know how GOD AWFUL THAT IS)

I’m not gonna go into details on what Andrew did because I truly don’t want to, but know that’s he’s a disgusting person and there’s no redeeming him at all. He’s done horrible things to people and HORRENDOUS things to Micah… non consensual things.

Anyways… THE PERSON SAID THAT SHIT THAT ANDREW DID TO MICAH WAS THE **REASON** THEY SHIP IT.

AND OOOOH DONT TRY AND TELL ME “oh it’s not that serious it’s just fiction” BECAUSE IT IS THAT SERIOUS.

Normally I don’t give a fuck about this stuff… THIS IS NOT OKAY.

AND THEN THEY TRIED TO SAY SHIT ALONG THE LINES OF “well sorry I’m just fucked up” OH MY GOD?! I HAVE WORDS TO SAY TO THEM I’D GET BANNED FOR SAYING.

Holy fucking shit I’m genuinely pissed off right now… Micah been through enough, don’t you FUCKING DARE ship him with THAT DISGUSTING FUCK.

Does Andrew love Ethan? Survey says: YES! PT. 2

[PT. 1 here]

TW: DISTURBING DRAWINGS, MENTIONS OF ABUSE/MURDER, ETC.

He went to see Alexander, sure...

But the second he's able to get Ethan alone? He takes it. He's BLUSHING. Look at his face in the first one. He looks desperate, relieved to see him again. Besides, wasn't he supposed to hate Alex? Someone who, by his father's insistence, wasn't even part of the Lee family? If anything, seeing Alex was an excuse to see Ethan. That is all he ever truly loved after his father killed his mother and made him hate Alex. That was all he had when Mary accidentally killed his father.

But to further my argument on how Andrew is in fact, a yandere by nurture: look at what his own father did, leading by example.The same father obsessed with his wife cheating, just to try and assault another woman most likely during that time, or after she was gone.

This is love in the Lee family. Full of abuse, lies, manipulation, generational trauma, deceit, and betrayal around every fucking corner.

Love is obsession and paranoia. Love is eliminating every obstacle or contradiction. You take love into your own hands and mold it and control it to be the picture you want it to be, even if it means driving yourself insane.

THAT is what love is on the men's side of the Lee family.

And to further prove his incessant need to keep Ethan from others?

Look at what he put his own cousin through. Yes, we know Andrew's father practically disowned Alex's part of the family. Alex's mother and father, (most likely due to Andrew's own mother cheating on his father). We know Andrew has been influenced to hate Alex by his father. But he's been able to grow out of that if he wished to, and clearly he still cared enough about Alex to warn him about the potential abuse he would face in the future with his own father.

But in this case, when Andrew had so many other ways to hate and hurt Alex, why choose to make him hate Ethan? To cut him out of Ethan's life, just like he might have done with Jo?

Jealousy. Alex not only was made to be outcast by Andrew's own father, which was all he had and all he was able to learn from, but now Alex was able to bond with the very person Andrew actually wanted. With the person that rejected him.

How come Ethan could actually like an outcast? Someone who wasn't even a real Lee? A murderer. A nobody...

Jealousy. Andrew wanted Alex to hate Ethan. And then fueled Alex's addiction for one reason or another, most likely because of his hatred for Alex. He wanted to reduce Alexander to the nothing he was forced to see him as, by enabling him and making Alex dependent on him and him alone.

Andrew was in love with Ethan the only way he knew. Look at Ethan, just for a moment. Go back to that photo or older photos of him if you must. Then look at Alex and Andrew's mothers.

Similar hairstyles and colors. It's a stretch, but...

His trauma, the way he was taught. Brown haired women, with early greys/potentially a dirty blonde, makeup, earrings.

Ethan. Brown hair, with early greys/dirty blonde, makeup, and earring and TONGUE PIERCING, before the earring was ripped out.

He found a man that fit the average Lee wife. The "perfect trophy wife". Andrew found what he figured must be meant for him, and applied the knowledge he knew of love.

"He must be for me..."

Pattern recognition.

So he used what he had. He loved foolishly, in the only way he knew how. Abuse, stalking, obsession...

And it spread to Micah later on, who reminded Andrew of Ethan.

Andrew loved Ethan because he thought he should, and did so the only way how.

That, or he realized he had gained true, genuine feelings, and when those feelings did not match what he knew, he changed his actions to make sure they lined up and made sense.

Andrew loved Ethan to unhealthy lengths. But he still loved Ethan. In his own, twisted, fucked up way, because that's what he was taught and all that he knew.

Did Andrew love Ethan?

Yes. It truly seems he cared at one point. But it evolved into something far more sinister and wicked.

So, what do you think?

Did Andrew Lee truly love Ethan Collins?

Yes, absolutely
