okay so i'm fully blaming @curvesomesunsets and this post specifically because i now have many thoughts head full and also ouch
as stated in the post willie feels the need to be useful, and even though he's afraid of caleb he offers him as a choice to be useful, to be able to helpe because maybe then alex will keep talking to him and that's heartbreaking but also offers up so many possibilietes
first though, i think alex has shown willie throughout the series that they don't need to be useful for him to want to hang out with them, considering all that he says (i would've still followed you as a general admission of his feelings which hey, i wrote a small rant-essay about willex in like january if you want to know why i think that that's a pivotal point in their relationship)
obviously the kind of trauma and issues willie has aren't going to go away because of one thing alex did, and considering he's very obviously feeling incredibly guilty for bringing the boys to caleb, which ended up being harmful and quite nearly killing them, willie now thinks he's gotta make it up by being even more useful (the bus, "i'd do anything for you")
and obviously caleb is at fault for next to everything here, because he's manipulative and straight up a bitch and has harmed willie and had them in his clutches for decades at this point, and willie is too afraid to stand up against him (which is entirely understandable)
so my point is, i really really want to see alex do that for willie. not because willie needs saving or is some damsel in distress, i just think that alex, who willie thinks he's brought bad luck to, pushing himself in front of willie and defending him would mean so so much, and like. it'd be incredibly enjoyable to watch we know alex is painted as the emotional one but we shouldn't forget the boy was out and proud in a homophobic household in the 90's, so he has the boys obviously but he's also just brave as fuck, and he's passionate about those he loves, and he's a bitch (and i love him so much), so he really should just rip caleb a new one
like. idk how it'd happen but i just wanna see alex defend willie, eyes blazing and so angry at this man who's hurt him, and his friends and willie, and who tried to rob him of the good things in life. and willie behind him, staring at alex and realising that oh, he cares, and it doesn't matter if willie is "useful" or not to alex, he cares just like that
@ kenny ortega, sir please and more importantly @/netflix you sluts, renew the show
