sir thatās my emotional support bench scene
Okay this moment stood out a lot for me because look at his faceā I honestly think this is the moment TJ decided he was going to tell Cyrus how he felt.Ā
Cyrus has been patient with TJ from day 1. He has never forced him to do anything he wasnāt comfortable with. Cyrus encouraged and helped TJ to make the right decisions ON HIS OWN. And even when it was clear Cyrus was upset about Kira, he never gave an ultimatum. He simply expressed that he was feeling uncomfortable around her, leaving TJ to make his own choice on how to deal with that information. Cyrus never made him pickā Cyrus never made him do anything.
And this whole thing aboutĀ āpickingā is crazy for TJ! Because he didnāt see Cyrus and Kira as foils to each other! He never thought heād have to pickĀ one or the other because Kira was his ~new basketball pal~ whereas Cyrus was his person, whatever that might mean.Ā
But āpickingā is often very romantically coded. So while TJ never saw Kira that way, in this scene she basically went ādate me or date Cyrusā which was a more than friends thing and even oblivious TJ can pick up on that. Suddenly, Cyrus is beingĀ āofferedā as a romantic option. Suddenly TJ cannot avoid that any longer.Ā
And Kira saysĀ āI guess that answers my questionā and peaces out, but really it was TJ who had a big question answered. The question wasnātĀ āKira or Cyrus,ā butĀ āAm I ready to tell Cyrus how I feel.ā Because Cyrus, who knows himself to be gay and crushing on TJ, never pushed TJ to acknowledge it. Cyrus flirted and dropped hints left and right, but he never forced TJ to make an explicit move before he was ready. Cyrus was patient, the way he always was, and because of that TJ could take the time he needed to come to this monumental realization on his OWN TERMS.Ā
Which is why this makes the next two TJ scenes so powerful, and so different from his scene with Kira. We have TJ making all his own choices, and Cyrus supporting him. TJ chooses to start to play an LGBTQ anthem. Cyrus, supporting him, then starts to sing along with it. TJ initiates the handhold on the bench. Cyrus, who has waited so long for this, holds his hand back.Ā
Cyrus never made him pick. Cyrus never pushed him or forced him to change. Cyrus believed in him and supported him and gave him the time he needed to come to terms with his feelings. TJ didnāt pick Cyrus over Kira. TJ and Cyrus chose each other, a year ago on the swingset. Kira was never even an option in the first place.
