1.08: 2 Fathers

[chonkymoth]

I need y'all to understand just how much the "I wish I had two lives" scene has ruined me.

david loves kristen. when ben finally says it outloud for him, he recognizes it for what we've all seen & suspected/known for years. he doesn't even try to deny it. he loves & needs (his words!!!) kristen and wants a live with her so badly. but he simultaneously wants to reform his life & fight evil & commit to something he views as worthy & morally good. & w the life he has he's chosen the latter route. he's already committed to it by the time kristen enters his life. & now? kristen is equivalent to god to him. he wishes he had a whole other life that he could devote to kristen like he's devoted his current one to god.

& kristen loves david. ellie/laura/??? says it outloud for kristen & while she looks like she wants to argue it, she doesn't. she loves david. she wishes she had two lives, both of them for him. bc no matter if it's this life she has now or another, she can't imagine a life without him. she wants him in every life she has. & yet, she's scared of breeching being just friends. she's the one to leave after the kiss. she's the one to tell him to go when they hug in the shed. she's almost always the one to break the charged moments between them. she's married, sure, but that's not exactly stopped her before. it's the push & pull in the way the moon & ocean love one another. it's the knowing that david's chosen the church in this life. & even still, she still wants him close even if it can't be romantically.

& ben cares for them both. he's continually painted as the third wheel, but he's an integral spoke in the dynamic they all share. i think ben's "what about me?" is mainly asked to break the tension w comedy, sure, but some part genuine curiosity as well. & kristen assures him that he gets a life too—this life, the one they already all share together. he knows how david & kristen feel about each other, & i think whatever feelings he has or might have towards them get put on the back burner as a result. but he's with them till the end. he comforts kristen through various situations & is a confidant for david even though their thoughts on spirituality & religion are complete opposites. the dynamic just isn't complete without him. & so he gets a life as well, of course, even if he holds them both at an arm's distance for his own heart's sake.

Cannot wait for season 4

a continuation of this post but for my beloved ben this time!

ben is such a ride or die for both kristen and david. i'm 100% sure that if kristen had needed help hiding orson's body he would have helped with zero hesitation. he's always there for her. him being the one to be there for her while she's breaking down about andy cheating was perfect. he's her rock and i love how much he loves her and her kids. then him being concerned that david wouldn't be able to keep working with them when he became a pastor was adorable. he didn't want to lose his david! he's there for both of his favorite people when they need him and they're there for him when he needs them. i just love how much they all love and care about each other. they're all soulmates. they've got "DO NOT SEPARATE" energy at all times and i love that for them. this last season has really shown a spotlight on how important they are for each other. the three of them are truly the heart of this show and i'm really going to miss them when the show officially ends :(

Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish is officially a David, Kristen, and Ben song. I realized how well it fits them awhile ago, and now I genuinely can not listen to it without thinking about them-

(Catch me listening to it on repeat today as the fact that we only have three more episodes with them hits me like a freight train)

Anyways so glad everyone, including Ben of course because he wouldn’t choose money over Kristen and David and the girls, moved to Rome and lived happily ever after working together and raising Kristen’s kids together and became an official throuple.
