people on my post not understanding Big drink culture OK here: 1) big drink is an all day affair. you are carrying that 32 oz cup around like your life depends on it Ok you signed custody papers for that thang. 2) it’s mostly ice so when you finish the drink just fill it back up with water and/or wait for all the ice to melt. this is a little trick called Drink 2. 3) i can’t just buy 2 small drinks at once because first of all the entire appeal is tjay im getting like 4 cans worth of soda or tea or whatever for 99¢. second of all we can’t just walk around double fisting two cups all day we need at least one hand free to masturbate while driving
while you were hitting the juul, going to college, having casual sex, driving your car, and eating takeout food, i died horribly under mysterious circumstances in a national park. and my body was never found again
you ever think about the fact wymack just offers his house to some random kid he met ten minutes before? like what a good guy
Yeah! Because he’s under the impression that Neil’s parents are abusing him and Wymack’s father was abusive. Like he wanted to get that kid outta there
aerie help you’ve just injected so much dadmack angst into my brain bc like-
When Neil meets Wymack and his first instinct is to stay more than an arms length away, Wymack notices. And we read it as “Oh, he’s been around enough abused, messed up kids to know what that means.”
But it’s so much worse, because Wymack was that abused, messed up kid. Wymack was a lot younger and smaller once, and he knew to avoid taller, older men with loud voices.
And then he has to take that knowledge, and deal with the fact that the tables have turned. He is now the intimidating older man, a potential threat in a young kid’s eyes. And yes, he chooses to be different and to prove that he’s different, but he will still have to reckon with that reality every day, probably for the rest of his life.
Truly, if there is anyone of the Foxes who can understand Neil’s fear of becoming his father, who knows so intrinsically what it’s like to be reminded of your abuser every time you look in the mirror, it’s David Wymack.
