I didn’t ask for this bad Kelso meta that is at best tangentially related to the lighthearted thing you put it on in the first place, please get out of my notifications

#first of all if we're gonna define something that kelso does right i wouldn't necessarily turn to harrison #he is absolutely supportive & loving of his son later on and it is adorable & lovely in like my new suit and my hard labor #but a) we only see them interact directly in my hard labor #and b) given that harrison wrote a scathing play about kelso i'm gonna take a wild guess and say it was a journey getting there #second of all this is just. reductive #i think one of the great things about scrubs is that all of the main characters could be seen as 'kind of an asshole' in a certain light #but what really makes it is that all of them have shining moments where they reveal their true colors #kelso admittedly has more of the bad moments and fewer of the good ones #but. we also see a LOT less of his personal side than the other main characters (janitor aside)#and the drastic shift in his character post-s7 i think says a lot for how much the chief role wore on him #not even just wore on him but actually affected how he appeared to everyone and who he had to pretend to be #like he's total trash. i mean complete garbage. an absolute dumpster fire #but it's so easy to go with 'he's heartless and evil' and his actual character is far more interesting #by all means if that doesn't change your mind and you just hate him and it doesn't make up for anything cool #but then. don't go out of your way to talk about his character #like i feel like this response is trying to present as An Analysis™#but this is honestly the most surface-level basic examination of kelso's character #anybody who knows anything about scrubs can say 'kelso's kind of a dick'#and the gifset at hand gives the 'he has a not-terrible relationship with his son' part of it #so what are you adding to anything aside from adding annoyance to my life. please stop trash talking my garbage husband #(i mostly kid but the poster isn't following me & i am just expressing general frustration about misinterpretation of kelso's character)#(he consistently gets the shaft in many ways in fandom and it tires me)#(anytime anybody wants to hit me up with some GOOD kelso meta please do)#picture #in which john has scrubs thoughts
