ughh here to yell again about how i love the idea of cale/sean in like. the least romantic way possible sghsjdkg

a very highly specific "i'm obsessed with you because you're the only one to destroy my routine, which is kinda making me cross wires seeing you as my first victim (who i was 'in love with'), and your level of empathy confounds and fascinates me, let me study you like a lab rat" vs. "god, you're in-fucking-sane but i'm scared and isolated and desperate for any kind hand so ig i'll take it where i can get it" kind of way. you know? do you see my vision?? sdhgjskgk

there's no love there, exactly, but there is like. some weird affection on cale's part, and survival that turns into "affection" out of a total loss of connection with any other human on sean's.

like. i love a good conditioning plot. i love enemies who still technically hate each other's guts, but who, either out of fascination or necessity, develop something as close to love as either of them will get.

i dunno, man. the whump of it all just tickles something in my brain.

#cale isn't even that good of a bad guy and han.nib.al did this enemies to “lovers” trope better #but something about cale/sean is so tasty in particular to me. idk what it is #maybe bc the source is so goofy and clumsy and earnest #and it does what it wants well but not really the genre well yk?#and. idk. maybe it's like. the allure of knowing something could be better. or more interesting or fleshed out.#meanwhile han.ni.bal is already really well done. i have nothing to add. so i don't find it as fun to turn around in my head.#also i'm squeamish shgsjdkgjd i don't think i could watch han.nibal again. good show! love mads. too much gore for me. as pretty as it is.#anyway sgsdgjks don't look at me. i was listening to music and a song seized me and i fell down the thought rabbit hole.#out of control [ooc];
