The fact that Charlie kind of thinks of himself as stupid and slow when he's not at all </3
#its a line to walk with him but i try to write him as more observant than he ever gives himself credit for#he just lacks the confidence to act on the kinds of things he notices most of the time?? or he doubts his own judgement and automatically#thinks he's gotten it wrong#he's off-put and sometimes even skeptical of his mom's behavior but he doesnt trust himself enough to doubt her outloud#he argued back a little against Gabe/wasnt going to leave until Vi also thought separating was best for them and it just.. reaffirmed his#own doubts#he's smart!! he's not bad at reading people!! but he doubts himself and he cant hide his own anxiety to save his life#and he isnt always immediately articulate and it gets taken advantage of ๐๐#ANYWAY i was thinking about the southern accent/the correlations to stupidity in media#and how much i kind of love leaning into charlie being this.. quintessential southern working class guy#and he's not stupid even if between some bad luck and some bad influences he's been led to think he is
