You Should Be Allowed To Leave Work If You Need To Go Home And Think About The Character

don't you guys love it when women

Albert Mason, in a way, mirrors what Arthur could have been if he wasn't outlaw. While they both share a love for nature, they represent different sides of it; Arthur embodies the rough, dangerous, and wild side, while Albert symbolizes the innocence and delicacy of nature. They both find beauty in the world, but in contrasting ways; Albert gets to experience nature purely for his enjoyment, but Arthur is in a way, like an animal, in a constant fight to survive.

god has the face of your first love

That one time Anne Rice dressed them like gay sailors for Halloween in QOTD was really cute...I'm not sure what it did for the plot but I enjoyed it

acting like a victim

i love when characters lie to themselves in the complete privacy of their own minds

Baby Kim (I wanted him with a frittte plastic raincoat because he needs protection from the rain)

The casting and acting of Luke Brandon Field was so good I actually thought for a bit that they put a younger-me filter over Eric and had him act out the San Francisco scenes

I like reading DE fanfic but imo the characterization of Harry and Kim is like several steps away from canon in the majority of fics. There is a dynamic that writers tend to favor that is Harry as expressive, clingy, does dumb and impulsive things for the sake of it and Kim the stoic, patient, empathetic minimalist.

And in canon Harry pretty explicitly struggles to form regular facial expressions while Kim has to put substantial effort into controlling his. Harry can choose to go off without Kim or attempt to drive him away while Kim will very rarely leave him alone. Kim is also almost always the one to initiate physical contact between them. Harry typically has some sort of internal reasoning behind his actions, even if they seem nonsensical to an onlooker, but Kim will often do things or agree to plans just because it amuses him.

The biggest thing that bothers me is that in fics Kim often takes on a role of a sort of mediator, settling disagreements, deescalating situations, clearing up misunderstandings. I think that in many ways, that’s the kind of person that he aspires to be, but canonically he has pretty fucking awful people skills. He can barely have a conversation without putting on the role of Cop. I think that one of the main things he admires about Harry is his ability to read people and connect with them.

Idk man. Let Kim be a socially awkward dork and let Harry have more depth than a golden retriever archetype
