I need to know why Frankie Morales is it for you? Just genuine curiosity.

Hey Nonnie 🧡

Thank you very much for sending me this ask! I am going to try my best not to write an essay. But if you've spent a little time in the orange bedroom, you probably know concision is not my strong suit.

There are things I can explain, and others I cannot. And then, there are reasons that are canon, and others that are not...

The first thing is that he's a veteran. I've always had a thing for veterans. I can spot the veteran in any work of fiction within minutes, even if their status is not mentioned. I'm that delusional dumbass who thinks I can fix them.

Then, well he's fucking smart. He's a pilot. I know I keep repeating it but HE CAN FLY THINGS and that's so fucking hot. He's an engineer, and a pilot, I mean the brain on this man.

I love how caring he is. He's the only one who mentions his partner and even if he ends up agreeing to the mission despite the fact she's probably gonna hate him for that, I'm convinced he does so because he wants to be make sure his brothers will be ok. And he's the very last one who agrees...

He's loyal, steadfast, competent, organised, focused, reliable, insightful, intense, oh my god so intense, but also soft, quiet but not taciturn, assertive without being overbearing, a natural leader and the bigger man, ready to shoulder the blame without hesitation to appease the tensions and restore the cohesion in the group.

I love that when he's had it, he's fucking had it. He's all control and restraint, but that shit is getting to him hard and I love that you can see that nightmare tearing his soul crack after crack after crack.

I love his deadpan humour. I love the way he gives full-body, open-palms hugs. I love the tenderness in his gaze when he looks at Benny. I love his silent connection with Will, and his blunt honesty with Pope.

I love that he's working-class because that's where I come from.

I love that he hides under this hat and that he's so fucking stressed he's hugging himself all the time.

I love that his name is Morales because my grandmother who raised me was also Morales. Eva Morales.

I feel like I'm leaving out a million other reasons. But I said I wouldn't write an essay... Mainly, he makes me feel safe. He's one of my top comfort thoughts, and this, I fear, I can't really explain.

Oh and also he fucking looks like this:

Ok now your turn! Do you have a favourite P boy? And if yes, which one and why? Is Frankie your favourite too? Please come back to tell me!!!
