You know what fucking BREAKS me? Lenny is so gentle with Midge.
His act, his opinions, his general demeanor is brash and energetic, but EVERY TIME he’s with Midge he’s just. Fucking soft.
Looks at her like she’s god’s gift on earth. Stares adoringly at her for minutes at a time. Talks to her in the most deeply loving way. You are lovely. I thought it was sensational. You are better than god. To you? Always. I will laugh the entire time, I promise. If you blow this, Midge… The way he held her in Miami. The softness when he gave her the glass in the hotel. The way he holds her when she wants to leave his bed. The gentle, gentle way he interacts with her, even right after she’s found his drugs.
And the only times he shows his harder side? In her apartment, when he’s vulnerable and exposed. Getting her out of the Wolf, when he’s worried about her. After Carnegie, when he’s pleading with her to understand how much her career means to him.
I just. I’m weak.

“i just wanted it to feel like lenny was rooted in something based in relationship, and more based in love and human yearning. he’s just a man as opposed to a prophet.” - luke kirby
