#hayward's gender has GOT to be weird like his whole thing with his wife who doesn't exist is SO gender

[nana-glass-chillhop-radio-hour]

Ok sorry I’m long overdue for a follow up of these tags I left on your post lol. Here goes: In my brain, the role of a cop is a very masculine one. Like obviously there are female cops but whenever they appear in media ( at the ones I’ve seen) they always are very masculine. So with Hayward whole thing about performing the role of a standard cop I think he was also performing masculinity in a very standard way. His whole arc in season 2 has also been about learning who he is outside of that performance so he I think he can also start to experiment with gender and get silly with it. I think that’d be good for him. maybe this only makes sense to me but thank you for the space to expand upon me ideas.

This is paige and Hayward season three. my final message

I just saw this response omg loving where you head is at... gotta get this out on the record before s3e3

That's not a comedy routine! That's a support group for men in crisis!' #like Hayward. you invented this woman #she isn't real #why did you make her a bitch who doesn't like you???? #and who YOU are pathetically still in love with #Like that's the craziest thing he doesn't even portray himself as in a failing marriage #he portrays himself as being desparate to stay in a failing marriage even though he isn't in love because he's afraid of being alone??? #like hello am I speaking English here that's fucking insane in the membrane #siltposting #anyway thank you for answering my ask sorry to write this tag novel when you were just trying 2 help
