Alright well guys...im sorry I just had to point these things out because willtresor is genuinely ruling my heart(alnst ref lol) and I just really wanna say these cause I feel like they're true and I also wanna PROVE to those people who say that Montresor doesn't care at all and only uses Will,that its not a true thing at all.
Firstly,you can see how shocked and scared Montresor was when Will was acting like that. He was *GENUINELY* scared about Will's wellbeing. Him saving Will from the dogs? Saying "You did well"? HELLO??? THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS THAT HE AT LEAST HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR HIM! Not necessarily cares for him,but at least a soft spot.
Here he tries to dismiss whatever Will is saying because Montresor never shows comfort,or any type of feeling related to that. He sticks to his sly smirk and angry defense mechanism to always put on a fight so he doesn't feel useless. In this moment,no matter how hard Will tries to tell him that "Hey..you're caring for me," Montresor doesn't DENY it but doesnt go with it either. Its almost like he's saying "Yeah maybe I do,but dont give it much thought." Which means that no matter how much Montresor uses or mocks Will,when it comes to serious times,he GENUINELY cares,he has the compatibility to feel care and slight comfort towards Will,but ONLY Will.
Another moment that I wanna talk about is here. Montresor sees that Will isn't doing well(I mean no shit sherlock) but now he was definitely NOT well,so even though he doesnt or more like pretends to not care,the fact that Montresor kept insisting on them going to the arboretum so Will could you know get healed or at least be in a SAFER place,you cant consider it nothing,because even as Will said,he goes out of his way to help him every time he sees the chance to. But here,his expression really shows his concern and how he doesn't wanna LOOSE Will,because i truly beleive that the one who'd me lost without each other would be Montresor not Will lol.
Now the one who genuinely makes me wanna cry is when "Will" dies, Montresor's pupils grow. And in many characters,when this happens,it mostly means that they either can't believe what's happening/are devastated,or they are tryinb to block feelings that they haven't felt before or in this situation that they dont agree on feeling out loud. This action of Montresor is also indicated by the fact that he just had "Will" kiss him(partly recalling his trauma because YES IT DOES COUNT AS SA') but also because as I said from disbelief of the entire situation,the kiss,the things Will was saying,the disbelief of him "dying". EVERYTHING just bottles up,making him have a slight panick attack later.
AND LASTLY I wanna point out how gentle Montresor touch seems when he is holding the back of Will's head,LIKE IT GENUINELY LOOKS SO GENTLE AND SOFT REGARDLESS THE FACT THAT HE JUST THROWS HIM LATER. In the end, I just want to say that no matter what Montresor does which is just his way of coping with emotions and he doesnt really have another way or more like its hard to,he DOES have a soft spot for Will,and im even gonna risk it and say that he CARES FOR WILL.
ANYWAYS YA THAT WAS UT I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL DAY/NIGHT!!
I WILL POST MORE WILLTRESOR WHEN I HAVE THE TIME!! ♡♡♡
