What I definitely don’t mean when I say I like a villain:
“They’re just misunderstood”
I’m defending every single one of their actions and I think they’re 100% innocent
I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know that they’re a villain
also
I am able to sympathize with tragic villains without saying that they are misunderstood, innocent, or don’t realize that they are a villain. I have no idea why tumblr has such a hard time grasping the concept of “seeing people suffer makes me feel bad for them even if they did terrible things” and quite frankly the idea that “only pure and innocent people deserve love and empathy” thing that tumblr has going on scares me.
one of the scenes that has always stuck out to me even after watching it when it first aired, when i wasn’t even obsessed yet, was the scene at the alamo.
here you have wyatt, having been told that he was being replaced because he wasn’t able to do his job, essentially being forced to abandon his team, thrust into a situation where he knows that every single person around him is going to die. causing him to have flashbacks of a very similar military mission gone wrong.
he’s completely convinced that not only must he stay there to die, but that he has nothing to live for. everyone he’s loved or cared about is gone.
and lucy, who has come home to a life that doesn’t resemble her own, whose sister no longer exists, has found that although terrifying, she feels more at home with her team than she does in her actual home.
and here’s wyatt saying that he doesn’t want to come home either, that he’s just going to be erased from her life as well. that he wants to essentially die to make sure that she has the time to get out.
and in that moment she realizes that she can’t lose him. he’s the one she trusts. he’s the one she needs, and so he relents. he comes with them. because lucy wanted him to.
starting a trend that not only keeps the alamo promise alive, but that has him surrendering his darkest thoughts, his training instincts for lucy, to keep her safe, not out of obligation but because he cares for her.
when lucy stands in between wyatt and flynn in red scare, saying how caught up in their grief they all are, that they need to stop focusing on the past, turning to wyatt, she asks him if he trusts her.
she’d already told him at the alamo that he was the one she trusted, and here she was asking him to do the same, to trust her. and even with flynn pointing a gun at them, he trusts her enough that he lowers his first.
later on, when they have to separate, he claims he’s already lost her once, he can’t lose her again. because unlike before, he now has something to lose, and he doesn’t want to live without her. and once again, trusting the other, he tells her to be careful.
only to then lose her again when she’s taken by rittenhouse.
this time lucy convinced that she has lost everything, and willing to die.
only to be reunited again, with a promise from lucy that she hasn’t lost everything.
and then in hollywoodland, you have the infamous pool scene, in which they both admit that they essentially saved each other’s lives, because they stopped caring…until the found each other. and now they had something…someone to care about.
which is only reiterated later in the episode when they’re standing in front of the alamo scenery from the movie texas, and she echoes his words from red scare back to him. “be careful.”
the callback to the very first time that lucy had admitted that she needed him, when he thought no one cared. and now, here they were, in front of another alamo, having just admitted the night before that they both needed each other, in every way.
lucy had said in red scare that they needed to put the past behind them, that that was the only way they could move forward to bring down rittenhouse. and then only after wyatt lowered his gun and they separated did they reunite again with her grandfather, just the two of them with a possible solution.
in the same way that the past came back with jessica, and it was only when he let go of that, on that wall, admitting he was wrong, that he was sorry, that he loved her…in front of the same fan they admitted they had each other…
did the future once again present itself with a possible solution…
the two of them. together.
because he’s the one she trust. he’s the one she needs.
I think what’s so great about Amy and Jonah, and I’m sure people have already said this before me, is that the writers made sure to hint at the romantic potential of their relationship from the beginning while also building them as a team. Not just a great friendship, not just people who can joke with each other in a way they would never do with other people, not just people who can talk about anything. But partners, real partners who can work together, who can inspire people together, who are efficient and organized and a force to be reckon with when they are together. Ever since season one they have professionally been a team while being friends and crushing more and more intensely on each other. They are compatible both professionally and privately, they complement each other and are so strong together. And they just work so well together. And since the show is set in their workplace I think it’s super important that they explored that side of their chemistry and compatibility. It’s complete. It’s wonderful. I love them.
