artem wing and his love languages

a 1k rant/analysis about artem wing and his affinity to make people food as a sign of affection by someone who is an artem simp

i know that we have this whole ass notion that senior attorney sir artem wing is emotionally constipated and to a degree i agree. the thing is that artem just doesn't have a chance to show how he cares for people. artem wants to be your typical physical touch/words of affirmation type of guy when in reality he's an acts of service/quality time type of guy. this motherfucker typed his own love language wrong. or rather, he wants to receive physical touch/words of affirmation and the only way he thinks he can get that is by doing it himself while also giving people acts of service/quality time bc that’s what comes naturally to him.

senior attorney artem wing likes to cook for rosa. that much is a given. there are literally cards dedicated to this premise. but there's this little tidbit in his sparks sr that kinda makes me think that him making food for others was his go-to plan from the beginning. when he's manning the grill he tells rosa to pass out the skewers bc no one was gonna come up to him. sure its sad and we know that it kinda weighs on him. why? bc that man wants someone to praise him for his cooking skills to his face (affirmation), or to hand them off himself (acts of service). and it's not like he doesn't take the time to learn what other people want either! or what they need!

like after they come back from the company retreat, we see artem genuinely giving advice and pointers to his employees. honestly, he could have left it to rosa to relay his own comments, but no, he does it himself. sure that may be because he's a perfectionist but also bc he genuinely cares about his team members and wants people to strive to be their best selves. the act here is giving advice and making sure to spend time with them individually.

then there's his sotn card. honestly the whole sotn portion with artem. he listens to rosa when they give the story about their parents and the pumpkin pie. he then makes the pumpkin pie and goes with rosa to the theme park. he gives her a keychain he commissioned! (that's veering into gift-giving but he did give up his time to practice drawing the mf pumpkin) when both of them were investigating medilla's apartment, he literally gives them his scarf bc he doesn't want them to get cold. idk about y'all but if that's not acts of service idk what is.

then there are his other ssr cards! in loving memories, the fucking preview of the card is 'every day with loved ones is a day worth remembering like ffs if that's not quality time i will eat my god damn sneakers. he spends time with rosa (albeit mildly forced, like come on this man wants to spend all his time with rosa) in a haunted house. his small tragic backstory shows that he was excited to spend the time in the haunted house with his mentor before they got called away. it wasn't the act of going to an amusement park, but spending that time with his pseudo father figure that had him excited. his lost gold card too! 'anywhere you want to go i will accompany you' headass like sir!! like okay, i'm the type of person to only fall asleep around people when i'm hella comfortable with them. i'm assuming that that's what happened with artem when he fell asleep. it still kinda counts as quality time imo bc of the fact that he's spending it with someone he genuinely cares about.

ok but why the hell would he type his love language wrong in the first place? because of the media he consumes and his people-pleasing tendencies my guys/gals/non-binary pals/and in-betweeners! a lot of modern-day media use words of affirmation as the most common way to show love to someone. what does artem do? he tries to express his sentiments using words of affirmation even though we've already established that it's genuinely easier for him to do acts of service. in some sci-fi novels and movies, physical touch is used much more often bc of the way it humanizes characters. ok let's do a simple one: wall-e. yes laugh it up all ay want but wall-e is a perfect example and honestly the first sci-fi movie that came to mind LMAO. anyway the whole just of wall-e is that wall-e wants to hold eve's hand. that's it. like okay obviously there's more but at the same time, the hand holding bit is very prominent in the movie so yeah. physical touch humanizes people. and we KNOW that sir artem wing likes to get advice from the media. there's the whole ass part of artem watching a drama so that he could know what to do. sure, it could also be his emotional constipation that makes him consume this type of media but then there's the book. so, seeing that his media consumption emphasizes these two, it's no wonder that he mistyped his own love language!

the book is another thing i want to get into. i wanna know how old it is and/or if there's a self-assessment. i also wanna know its contents. i know that artem skipped over the psychology side but honestly, hE SHOULD HAVE READ IT!!! this way he would have noticed that he was forcing out the wrong thing in him!!

i think this is the big thing about him being 'a robot'. a robot has clunky moves when it is doing something that it was not designed for.  i'm not saying that he should limit himself to this or that he doesn't have other types of love languages, absolutely not, bc technically everyone has all of them. it's just a matter of what he prioritizes first. what i am saying is that he should re-evaluate what he is giving and what he hopes to receive. the end.

watch his 1% fail rate be because he failed to identify his own love language LOL
