Thinking about the parallels between the relationships Gob had with Lucille 2 and Tony and how they were both someone Gob was ashamed to be with. Thinking about how they were both someone he didn’t want his family knowing about. Thinking about how Gob wasn’t willing to tell people he was with Lucille 2 and deal with the shame because he didn’t truly love her and wasn’t truly happy with her. Thinking about where those parallels diverge. Thinking about Gob realizing he’s gay and that he loves Tony. Thinking about how, even though he was ashamed to be in love with a man, ashamed to want to be in a relationship with a man, didn’t want people to know about them, he announced it to a full crowd of people and came out to all of them and it was all on TV and Gob was planning on running off with Tony. Thinking about how Gob was willing to leave his family behind so he could be happy and be with the person he loved. Thinking about how leaving his family is something he would’ve never done in the previous seasons, no matter how many chances he was given, no matter how unhappy he was. Thinking, thinking, thinking.

And while we’re thinking, on another note: Thinking about how the only thing the family saw Gob as useful for was sleeping with women for information. Thinking about how he clearly didn’t seem happy to do it but did it anyway because it’s the only way he was ever gonna get validation. Thinking about how he looked disappointed whenever his family said they didn’t need him for that, even though he didn’t like doing it. Thinking about how his family would sometimes look actually proud of him when he got or they thought he got information by sleeping with women. Thinking about how we see just how extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable that has been for him when Michael tried to force him to sleep with Kitty in season five. Thinking about how, when Michael tried to force him to sleep with Kitty, Gob made a choice to not only not do something that would get him approval from Michael, a family member, but he also tried to stand up for himself and tell said family member he couldn’t do it because he felt uncomfortable. Thinking about how he’d never do that in the previous seasons, never throw away a chance at getting his family’s approval, even if it meant sacrificing his own happiness or crossing his personal boundaries. Thinking, thinking, thinking.

Hi, my baby 🍁! For the asks game: 3, 8, 18, 49. Merci beaucoup!

HLJ my wonderful, beautiful 🍁darling. I love you.

3. Has Bangtan influenced your life in any other way?

Yes. In so many ways. I’ll see things and think of them. Things that remind me of them. I don’t think I’ve gone a day without talking about them. They got me back into writing. They’ve let me make new friends (👀👀). They’ve slightly influenced my style (but only a little!!!). I’ve gotten other people into them so we can listen together. Life hacks with JK like the chopstick one with sauce packs. So many things.

8. Which Cypher part do you like best?

Very strong very close tie with 3 and 4. But cypher 3 gets stuck in my head more.

18. Which member matches with your personality the most?

Matches?? Probably JK or Joon. I was the golden child who could do everything growing up and people love my eyes and smile (not said in a bragging manner, I’ve literally been told these two features are my most prominent my whole life). But I was also very intelligent and art appreciative and can’t drive. So Joonie too!

Compliments? Yoongs. My partner is incredibly INCREDIBLY similar to him. It’s scary.

49. What kind of concept would you like to see in the future?

Honestly? Nothings really coming to mind. Maybe something super like alt rock/ metal? But that’s only because that’s who I am? Where they all do like heavy fake tattoos and leather and stuff. Or on the flip side, something super soft and comfortable. Graceful maybe? But then I just think dynamite and BST so they’ve kinda already done it?

My other thought would for one where they’re just themselves but they did that with BE so again, I’m outta ideas 😂

My grandmother is Japanese and really likes to give gifts. Often those gifts are Japanese desserts or other food, but sometimes she just slips me cash, folded up inside a tiny, beautiful envelope. But she likes to pretend she's not giving me money, so when possible, she'll hide it somewhere that I will find later.

Today I spent the afternoon with her doing chores and tech support, and she clearly felt this warranted a significant gift in return (no matter that I enjoyed myself). But she forgot to slip something into my pocket or bag before I left, so instead she rushed outside as I was starting my car, making the old-school "roll down the window" gesture. Once I complied, she was forced to acknowledge she was handing me money, but she also tried to minimize the gesture.

The result was that she said, "Thank you, dear! I just wanted you to be able to... to buy yourself a hamburger," and then handed me a darling little envelope that turned out to contain $100. And all I could think was:
