tomgreg is not "i could fix him" nor "i could make him worse" but "i could make him feel like a real person." from both ends.

#tomgreg #there is genuine incompleteness on either end without each other #i'm thinking nrpi and the mutual obsession and being (successfully) singularly inclined toward monetary success #EXCEPT in regards to each other #greg having only the most naive aspirations until he meets tom #tom having an essentially directionless desire to be a caretaker until he meets greg #i'm thinking of that one rebvilla tg art with the caption #'doderick fell from the fantasy doggy land and became a real boy in the arms of a guy named tom' #i'm thinking of how the last time greg smokes weed onscreen has him throw it away when tom shows up #how he first does coke. an upper. onscreen directly as tom shows up #tom wakes him up and guides him #greg gives him someone to guide #they're both sponges that soak each other up bc they were sorely missing something #the ethics of their behavior are besides the point #the point is that they cease to be performative about it. tom gets less conservative greg gets less liberal #bc both were masks that weren't necessarily real #'don't be an asshole greg you don't have PRINCIPLES' <- tom accurately calling greg out for being fake #i'm thinking we don't change minds. maybe we do change minds. #once again whether it's in the direction of being 'good' or 'bad' could not be FURTHER from the point #bc the human condition does not condern those things. LOVE does not concern those things. #they just push each other in the direction of being complete people. of being fucking real #mine
