just watched metal lords and I love them all to death bUt I really wanna talk about Clay Moss
MY GOD THIS BOY maybe it's because he reminds me so much of Will Solace, but I love him so much. His interactions with Kevin and Hunter (and everyone else) were just so genuine and understanding, like this is a real emotionally mature person here surrounded by people struggling with mental illnesses and some just being assholes.
Him genuinely liking and supporting Kevin's music, still letting him know he did need to make a decision. But not forcing him to a long-term commitment. AND THEN ALSO JUST WANTING TO HANGOUT? Like that actually got me so bad when Kevin was shocked Clay wanted to be friends.
And Clay getting mad at Hunter's bullies instead of Hunter bc he understood that they threw him, not that Hunter purposefully broke the keyboard and speaker. Asking if he was ok, helping him, apologizing, even after Hunter insulted him he still kept trying.
Especially at BotB when he sees the bully (I forgot his name ackk) and stops him so the group can continue. Telling the group that he's not upset about the drummer situation and is actually really happy to have their friend back (and sober) since Kevin dipped. Apologizing AGAIN to Hunter and that lingering gaze mY gOd
idk, maybe Clay and Hunter just really remind me of solangelo, but I adore them so much. I need a sequel and for Clay to return (especially if they can delve into Hunter's homophobia and misogyny and Kevin's "idk it's kinda fluid, right?" and their mental health issues and Emily learning how to cope for herself, not depending on someone for her happiness but still accepting the love and support)
