#TLDR ;; it's him at his most romantically extreme but with a pink soft filter slapped on it & perpetual until it goes away

if regular thierry is already pretty much obsessed w mary, what would lovebug thierrys opinion on mary would be? would there be any differences on his acts/thoughts towards her?

hhouhh...... good question...

so, TO ME, the lovebug virus Enhances the already present feelings of an individual to the nth degree, TEEMING through them & desperately NEEDING the affection of whomever will give it to them ( or their most beloved(s) ),

&... well. the problem lies that- with thierry, if so enabled by rosemary, his feelings are ALREADY at the nth, visceral degree. there is NOT much more that the lovebug can enhance beyond... his obnoxious neediness, perhaps? ( unless we say that the lovebug virus incident would occur prior to thierry making known his feelings to her, THEN. HOHH. )

having said that though, the lovebug virus in the .exe is FAR more annoying & benign than it is threatening - at least in thierry's case, so it actually NULLIFIES his extremities a little bit as a result, keeping the more " raw " thoughts at bay & translating every thought through a sickeningly sugary, albeit still Desperate state of mind.

for example;

where he might normally go " putting your hand against my skin isn't enough, take this ruler & rip me open with it so you can touch my heart "

instead what comes out is " OHHH my sweetest rosemary, my dearest rabbit, how i long for your touch... my heart, it beats against my chest for you! can you feel it? put your hands here... "

& that is virtually Every Thought until the bug passes, just touch me touch me touch me i love you so much oh rosemary i'm so terribly ill & sick please kiss me until i feel better you are the most gorgeous woman i have ever seen oihhhhh rosemary ...which is what he'd say ANYWAY but it's more... socially acceptable when he's bugged?

...in theory, at least????
