Winston in the Billions
(that not only did billions never write a moment like this, & would never have done so, but doesn't think such a moment would exist)
#can't believe joe ''my main characters are like side characters from elsewhere; my side characters are Could-Be main characters'' iconis#whose writing approach also involves always finding ways to relate to / sympathize with / write about himself in part via characters#which'll sure help dehumanizationproof material if you're thus never going Could Never Be Me In The Least; refreshingly; relievingly#& re: will ''nobody is so understanding of & excited by all the facets of me as a performer like joe iconis'' roland vs tfw billions#going woww noticed you're sooo talented & your performances are so good. only gonna write you More in a quantitative sense ha ha#also just of interest here re: the angle of being audience members actually new to bmc & not knowing of mitb first / bmc Through that lol#i don't think i did but i ofc believe i knew Of the song quite quickly. showing up Through will roland; don't remember first hearing mitb#sure didn't happen to be in the original in person trt audiences#winston billions#bmc#joe iconis#mitb type moments absolutely exist in billions for Winners; in the way billions would ever do them. lingering; a solo moment for drama#but again it's not even uninterested in doing that for Losers it's: no they don't have these. if/when they do it it's not Real like this.#which is extended to like ''if/when Losers have thoughts & feelings (inner world) (personhood) it's not Real like it is with winners''#also ofc shoutout forever to jeremy the main character would-be side character so Thinking of himself as a tertiary character#he yknow sings as much & all during the first number#um JOE ICONIS you had this role claim they are not the one that the story's about BUT IT'S THE MAIN CHARACTER?#but it's during a LINGERING MOMENT with the SPOTLIGHT as THE STORY CLEARLY CENTERS ON HIM??#did you think we wouldn't REALIZE. do YOU not realize your ERROR.
