#(for those who don't know: manchester is an industrial hell city that near every manc wants to escape)

[simptasia]

why didn't charlie call claire "luv". why didn't he throw out a casual luv at his friends. he's a northerner what else is he good for

#i dunno if americans understand this but #being from the north makes charlie so great #it just suits him so well. like it adds to his character #suffering is part of his cultural identity. did you know that? #suffering. and kicking and screaming for validation. begging an unkind world for recognition #a deep desperate ache to be useful!!! to add something. anything. to this world #in a culture revolving around manual labour he was obsessed with making art #do you get that?? do you understand what im saying?? #being from manchester adds texture to charlie #(for those who don't know: manchester is an industrial hell city that near every manc wants to escape) #it's an american show (and a lot of americans don't even get the north south thing anyways) so they obvs never touch on it #but its there. subtextually. woven in thru dom's beautiful husky accent. the brick dust in his veins #and charlie screaming at the world ''TELL ME I MATTER!!!'' #[looks at the tags] whoa what happened here #been thinking about north vs south england classism AND abc's lost lately so i latched onto charlie. also i love charlie #on the topic of classism: charles widmore would be disgusted that his grandson was named after charlie. and i adoooore that #so yeah the last sentence of my post was a joke. i respect the fuck outta northerners #but also charlie shoulda said luv <3
