sometimes i think about how they filmed thomas and james’s love story in season two and i’m just sort of overhwlemed by the narrative and cinematic choices because like

compared to every other relationship on the show, it like – filtered it through this dreamy and lovely haze, all focused on smiles, and comfort, and morning afters, and okay, part of that is probably the fact that it’s being looked back on through the lense of James’s memory

but part of it is that the narrative was holding up thomas and james’s relationship as this ideal – in a world where they both would have hanged for being together, THEIRS is the relationship that is depicted as this pure and almost holy love, their relationship was sacred, and true anD I GET REALLY EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT HELP
