my heart breaks a little when people say that neil could make andrew do anything by just asking.
that is like.
the opposite? of how their relationship works?
neil cannot MAKE andrew do anything, and neil respects that—that’s the point.
andrew is willing to give a yes to neil because he will take no for an answer without a complaint or a question or a demand.
if andrew didn’t want to (or couldn’t) do something, he wouldn’t. point blank period.
implying anything else goes against his and neil’s character.
thank you for coming to the ted talk i could expand on but for now will not unless someone argues
