gif sets definitely don't account for actual meta/analysis, and i think just putting two scenes together doesn't immediately reveal what they Mean both individually an in context of each other. hdhd i guess nothing is better than actually watching the whole thang, but it's fun; it's like i'm making my own little tommyarthur tapestry here thank u
#all of this is how fucked up they are hdhd#there's also how addiction plays into both these scenes#that arthur is drunk-ish during the wedding speech is important as well#(and that tommy encouraged him to drink but not out of malice but because tommy himself soothes his anxieties with alcohol#but arthur is the type who drinks uncontrollably while tommy drinks *constantly* but tends to stay on the same level etc)#and of course during the funeral arthur is either high or in withdrawal; he very much *can't*#but tommy - whose daughter just died who suffers from mysterious seizures who's buckling under a whole lot of mental and physical stress -#has to keep up that solid facade etc#despite plainly not being able to anymore#right *after* this he kills the people at the camp & has a breakdown#and when he and arthur finally have the conversation in the cellar he starts drinking again after his four years of sobriety
