Im dying at those tweets you ust reblogged. I can't believe two dudes were getting they are just gal pals treatment. So funny. Maybe it's more like those interpretations of historical letters where people are like: the way they talked about wanting each other and craving their touch and kiss is such an amazing display of historical friendship.

This whole thing made my month. I'm happy for them but also, the hilarity

Riiiiight? A heady mix of delight and disbelief!

A funny (both peculiar AND ha-ha) aspect of this whole thing is that it's impossible for us bystanders to know how long Mr. Olsson himself knew it was a relationship, either. There are so many factors, like how long he's known he's somewhere under the queer umbrella (as it seems Mr. Qualls has known a long time), what exactly was happening in his previous marriage--which was still legally intact at the time of some of those tweets--and look, according to his wikipedia page she was an American nurse during covid, they could have been stuck in different countries, the pandemic was a shitty time for every person on this planet, and I don't want to dismiss what was probably a rough period in his life, BUT:

There's a part of me...maybe my inner fic writer...that can't get over the possibility that Ty Olsson was gal pal-ing himself. Like he's hanging out with DJ, having the time of his life. He's found his best friend ever! The world is roses! He's the kind of guy you can't help but love and Ty's gonna say it loud and proud because DJ doesn't hesitate to say it, and why the fuck not! His friend is the best and deserves the best! They spend hours giggling and sharing ice cream. But their time is up. The sun dims as DJ leaves! So there's Ty Olsson, waving goodbye. Then, hands on his hips, he's basically like--

My guy may have literally lived out a real life rpf fic plot, a reverse-verse gal pal situation, and yeah, sure, the modern day equivalent of dudes just being bros and writing each other the most heartfelt missives you've ever read...except publicly.

Just one of the many reasons the werepire wedding is so wonderful ^_^
