Okay okay okay, can I bother you to talk about how amazing Alan is in the practice!? Like, wow, okay, he may be kind of unethical, but the way he cares about his clients!? Does anything at all to give them justice!? Just wow, I can't
You can always ALWAYS bother me to talk about Alan, and really it is no bother at all 🥰🥰
He is the best possible mix of defiance and loyalty. Sometimes he’s a snake, he doesn’t play fair, and just when you think he’s caught, he finds a way to wriggle out of any impossible situation. But rarely does he do it for any selfish reason. He cares so deeply about his clients (and justice, especially when he doesn’t much care for a specific client) and is so proud of being able to help them
I think he uses his work as a shield sometimes—having power and money and a reputation protects him, makes him important, so he never has to feel like he did as a kid, no one can ever hurt him like that again—but he’s also a good lawyer because he’s a just good person. As much as he denies it, he’s innately generous and protective and sensitive towards the most vulnerable people. He’s been hurt in so many ways he won’t tolerate seeing anyone else go through it without at least trying to help
Also this specific screenshot from the set you just posted made me burst into tears my honeyyYYYY 🥹🥹🥹🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭
