#meanwhile gwen is as blunt as she is with everyone else

[elegantmarigold]

The conversation between Gwen and Sam at the end of the episode is going to haunt my nightmares. Like, WHAT IS THIS CONVERSATION?? Somehow this is the exchange that sticks with me possibly the most so far because the vibes are so discordant, that's the only way I can describe it. These are two people who are being miserable near each other and against each other but not at each other. They are sliding past each other, both separately having a *very* bad time and neither stopping to communicate at all about it.

#their relationship to each other is honestly really fascinating #they don't know each other like alice and gwen do so sam only really has his attempts to be more polite to solidify any sort of dynamic #meanwhile gwen is as blunt as she is with everyone else #it's kind of giving the miserable vibes of the season 3-ish archives #maybe not quite so bad yet but give it time and it could definitely get there #the magnus protocol #tmagp 14 #tmagp spoilers
