Alex & Skippy friendship appreciation post (gifset request)

#family ties #alex p keaton #apk #skippy handelman #gif request #anon thank u for this request #i had a lot of fun digging through the episodes for these moments #Alex & Skippy's friendship really is something special & it adds so much to the show. & to Alex as a person! #because by all accounts Skippy shouldn't be the type of person Alex would associate with at all let alone consider his best friend #Skippy is everything that annoys Alex in other people #He's extremely childish & naive. Doesn't share ANY of Alex's interests. He's not particularly smart (the guy has like 2 brain cells) #Skippy is a social outcast. people are annoyed by him & always putting him down. #& yet you've got Alex 'I'm Better Than Everybody Insensitive Smart-Mouthed Egomaniac Has To Literally Fake Emotions' Keaton #who CONTINUALLY sees the value in Skippy & is by his side no matter what #& Skippy is just such an extraordinarily sweet and kind-hearted guy #that Alex is a different person when he's around him! #He's so supportive & sensitive to Skippy's feelings. Let's his walls down enough that he & Skip have MANY heart-to-hearts thru the series #these 2 are polar opposites & they love each other & would die for each other & idk. it's nice to watch. it's just-- #i'm fine everybody. i'm normal about these things. #but i mean. you look at that middle gif & try not to have emotions about the power of friendship
