Random thought that S1 could have instead had more consistent hinting/detail to it that Tommy *suspected* Grace in some way, and therefore his seduction of her wasn't entirely just the hearteyes it tried to be sold as, but rather attempting to sway her to his side. Because, given every other series has Tommy using his body/self/sex as a way to leverage influence he wouldn't otherwise have, it'd be consistent to have seen a hint of that with Grace.

And then to *still* have their revelation moment after the Garrison killings, because then how much more meaningful if he throws away his suspicions in favour of finding someone he feels sees him and gets him.

#idk i just do not find Tommy Hearteyes believable no matter how i try (and I do try?? other people cn see it but i struggle)#the eyerolling i do through most of s1 #S2 - may #S3 - tatiana #S4 - alfie #S5 - mosley #S6 - diana #i suppose you could say he's using his body/self and leveraging campbell's weird sexualised obsession for him in s1 #but it's more grace as that stand-in w kimber. then ada in the shootout #s1 the main sex bit is tommy quietly and subtly seducing kimber's accountant Roberts #my secret headcanon that Tommy also engages Roberts as a third party to test Shelby Co's accountants' advice for validity and flaws #a very longstanding professional friendship they develop #I suppose S1 shows tommy attempt to use grace in that way while campbell is exactly using grace that way #and then every season after has tommy having to do that himself in some way #i think what happens after s1 is the ways of “using body” for advantage (crime violence killings sex) blurs *significantly*#in s1 all uses are there but the lines seem clearer #by s5/s6 it's just the most twisted mess #i keep meaning to start my rewatch but infant has had fevers this week :/
