#also Why r ppl writing lee as a sub

speaking of utopia (has not been speaking of utopia for 2 months)

along with lee somehow apparently being the fan favourite sexyman why are ppl determined to ship wilson/lee like u can do whatever u want but it just seems a shame bc one of many things i liked in the show is how they straight up shut down the idea that wilson and lee would have a snarky, give-and-take type relationship LIKE lee physically came out of his meeting w wilson worse off and so he doesn't consider them even in that sense and like yeah clearly he'd rather it hadn't happened but he doesn't seem to have been mentally affected by the violence done to him itself. he's not scared of wilson in fact he can't even conceive of that concept. and even while wilson finds himself in a more favoured/powerful position lee considers himself completely superior to him. and it goes without saying that lee wants revenge and also beyond that lee would hurt wilson just for fun whereas wilson wouldn't hurt anyone for fun. meanwhile the thing is wilson is traumatized by lee torturing him. he probably considers himself a better sort of person than lee but beyond his basic moral standing he also doesn't consider lee totally beneath him because yknow he's terrified of lee and probably always will be and yknow they both know lee has that power over him. and we know wilson wants to kill lee bc he's an awful person and as a sort of retroactive+proactive self defense which he does as soon as he becomes hardened enough to be able to go through with it.

And so there's this scene where they're u could say bantering in the car and wilson goes 'knowledge is never useless' and lee goes 'wasn't much use when i got my spoon out was it' and wilson just goes quiet. he could remind lee that he 'knew' how to get out of handcuffs and use lee's own gun to shoot him but he doesn't because they're not just talking anymore. wilson is reliving his trauma and fucking petrified. and paul ready gives a really great line delivery here, it's kinda chill and laid back, like u can hear just how secure and superior he feels bringing this topic up even though wilson nearly killed him, but u can also hear him taking real pleasure in knowing that he's hurt wilson, permanently, physically and emotionally, and that's something he'll have no matter what wilson does. like what a perfect moment and again nothing Wrong w writing their relationship a different way but like . the show already started u off somewhere Cooler
