#thank you reporters for asking joe about ja'marr and actually showing ja'marr what he said

[chasedeys]

aaaaaaaa exactlyyyyyyyyy 😭 god this is so,,, reading the context it's genuinely kind of insane

just the entirely new thing of joe saying that he sometimes learns what jamarr wants through the media while ja'marr is completely unaware of this ('sometimes through you guys (media)' -> 'i didn't know i did it through media??') is sooo ?????

like ja'marr talks so many crazy shit about joe and how he feels about joe as his friend and quarterback while joe keeps it short and neat but just as real and raw and ja'marr sweet darling unsure ja'marr can maybe feel like joe doesn't really feel the same mostly because joe doesn't talk as crazy about him (see his actions babe what kind of person wears your game worn unwashed jersey to a game. that's just as crazy.) or anything really at him (ah the ripe fields of miscommunication trope because they think 'nonverbal looks' are enough) and the whirlwind of the media always running with whatever he says (he's said this before right? like a little call out saying the media always takes things out of proportion) and joe maybe never actually talking about the shit ja'marr says with him and ja'marr sure as hell won't be the one to bring up the convo with joe so it all piles up as this unsure-of-his-place thing that he lashes out defensively saying he doesn't hang out with joe at all outside of football.

joe, who cares for him deeply but doesn't really speak about it because he's not a big talker he just shows it in his own ways, finding this out through ja'marr's interviews and being soooo confused but he's the kind of person to grip friendship tight so he immediately rights the entire thing. slowly connecting the dots that ja'marr blabs a lot to the media, easily navigating through the lies (😭), and realizes that his interviews are definitely something he should start paying closer attention to because ja'marr doesn't really always say the full truth to him or just keeps it at 'looks' that joe should get apparently and making this extra bit of effort is absolutely not a problem for him gauhaghguhghh somebody stop me

(like ja'marr doesn't know!!! that joe pays attention to what he says through the media!!!!!!! what he never actually says straight at joe!!!!!!!!! like does he start noticing past events where joe suddenly does something for him that he never actually verbalized before? does he realize that the someee of the 'unspoken communication' he and joe have actually stems from joe paying closer attention to him in ways he never realized before?????? what does that mean for the future. idk man i should just shut up and protect my peace)

the thing is like. joe is stoic and reserved and private, but he's actually very Uncomplicated in his love for ja'marr. the amount of times he's come straight out and said ja'marr is one of his best friends over the years... meanwhile ja'marr will say ten thousand conflicting things about if they talk, if they hang out, etc. but joe's just out here like, yeah that's my best friend 😌
