#i feel sick thinking about how broken up into pieces and conflicted cxs will feel when he finds out cos from the beginning we KNOW

[catguangcorner]

a thought i had, while rewatching 1ep3 of link click:

so interesting how CXS, from the beginning, is a character who specifically emphasizes the importance of a "trustworthy" partner, of mutual companionship — and how LG is constantly omitting and obscuring truths, trying to protect him mostly yes, but still lying, still shrouded in enigma. LG can never quite relinquish control because he Knows too much; isn't there something tragic in that? in LG carrying this secret burden of saving the one he cherishes most, feeling further away from CXS the more he tries, as the lies by omission, and the half-truths pile up.

all for this earnest, pure soul who above all else just wants someone he can put all his faith into, and rest easy. and how LG is and is not that person — is devoted enough, cares more then enough, too much, and yet by nature of the extent of this care is driving this irreparable wedge between them...

(it makes me wonder what attracted CXS to LG. we know why LG is attracted to CXS after all: his earnestness and naivety. we see that on full show in their very first moment on that court together, with CXS waxing poetic about the preciousness of trust in partnerships. if cxs is a dazzling sun, perhaps LG is the cool shade to shield him from the unrelenting heat.)
