#and it’s because being in close proximity to a family completely eviscerates his reactive pessimism

Never gonna get over the fact that Rust was an only child, grew up isolated with a troubled father, likely had no exposure to children until he had his own, developed a traumatic aversion, and then got owned by Marty’s nine and five year old

This scene has to go platinum

#when they were whispering to each other I know he was hurt #I know he was like holding back that ‘say it to my face’ #also #let’s discuss how softly he speaks to them #how he doesn’t use condescending baby voice but his tone is certainly unsure how to communicate with kids #let’s discuss the scene where they’re watching tv and he is watching them with obvious yearning #let’s discuss that five minute scene where rust displays the only modicum of individual hope in the entire series #and it’s because being in close proximity to a family completely eviscerates his reactive pessimism #let’s talk about it #I’m not saying get him pregnant #I am saying get him pregnant #rust cohle #true detective #trash bin tag
