this is really mostly just here so i can potentially reblog later with a verbose mini essay of more in depth grievances but for now the tl;dr re: Latent Cumulative Frustrations 5x08 Has Stoked For Me Concerning Winston is pretty much just that i'm now back to "is he really Only here to, at any / all times, be a plot device &/or specifically a joke" after 5x05 through 5x07 assuaged me by thinking he was being treated As A Character where his feelings where handled in earnest for their own sake in some serious emotional arc setup. which i am now in more doubt about, so i am no longer assuaged, and old [head in hands & yelling] about winston which has genuinely antagonized me in the past is now Active again, unabated

#winston billions #it's Not b/c winston isn't involved in the convos / arc rian & taylor are having! or b/c he only got the one scene!!#truly v appreciative of his one scene; i would love for him to be friendly with tuk and/or ben like hell yeah sure. very Welcome #it's more what i'm taking away from this material re: rian and taylor and the Context i am getting when applying it to [all winston's #material / how he is Handled]#even in 5x02 it was like ''will he ALWAYS be someone's plot device''...then 5x03 was alright. 5x04 frustrating b/c he was absent #& 5x05 was a punch in the face But that was what was like ''oh hooray! writers coming through and embracing the chance to give winston the #actual character material even these idiosyncratic side characters get eventually!! since it's his third season and he's available!! and #people who create this series appreciate actors!!! And Why Not Write Him Off The Show if you're never planning to have him be an actual #character!!!'' But Now.....primarily discouraging re: how taylor potentially regards winston really but that is Significant ofc #it's why he's here!!! if he only wants to get Paid & doesn't care abt their validation then he has no real motivation anymore &...For What #close second discouragement re: riawin lol not b/c of any of the 5x08 material Directly but more so because overall i'm like #if winston is Only a joke his crush could very easily be a joke; all rian's scenes w/him Could be explained w/her not liking him in any way #and even if they kiss or anything it could still just be him as some fun material for a more signficant character (rian already lol) that #does not have stakes b/c winston's feelings so far do not & again; his crush could be a joke right in line with this #*my* winston feelings are a joke and i know this but the joke is recurring lmao i get truly worked up like disappointirritatedaprassed #they introduce him like ''we hate him. he hates himself. he does math. nobody respects or likes him'' and i'm like yaaaaaay #and i SHOULD have my guard wayyyyy up for his autistacity like!! the way [inadvertently written as autistic] characters are treated....#and even the way they're expected to be regarded; ARE we assumed to dislike him / think his feelings are of less significance #but instead my guard is way down because i love him b/c [autistic] & his je ne sais quoi ;mmmm; it's not je ne hate quoi.....not to me....#lmao can evidently just copy paste this as a kickstart to that theoretical reblog #i am also able to not go off writing mini essays because i Have been; @ soph who patiently allows this as per usual lmfao #my verbosity and focus in on whatever tf i'm on about does req as much patience as one might expect lmao.....it never ends but ramped up rn #me: oh boy time for billions! i know it might hurt me. i try to be ready #[5x08: gives me nice winston material actually that i've specifically wanted; other tmc content i'm fine with too. gentle start!]#me: spends next day continually frustrated to tears b/c i'm Feelings & winston is my boy & possibly Not allowed [feelings] in any way that #matters................haunted circus music 50 min @ myself
