lulz, stole my idea with tay-tay.
so i was just thinking about this the other day, about how i'm getting a little tired of the "guy who alone can solve all the problems besetting his family and will stop at nothing to accomplish...something."
he believes that he alone can solve all the problems, and he's our protagonist who is going to break all the rules to solve those problems. we know he's the protagonist because the show is named after him or his gang. he's going to break all the fucking rules because winning is the most important thing in his world. because for him, it's win or die. he's got an addict sibling/spouse, and because of this he tends to distance himself from those to whom he should be closest. but also, he has an underlying sense of unrealized empathy that keeps the audience at arm's length but close enough to want him to do the right thing because you want him to be pg013, but he doesn't do the right thing because he's the rated fucking r antihero and fuck you that's why. just like everyone else in his orbit, right when he lets you closer emotionally, he lets you down again by doing some heinous shit.
it's all the shows now, and it's driving me a little fucking crazy.
