You put it so well, its also so frustrating when people try to pin it as Ian being too ‘bad’ for joe and not deserving of him to keep Ian and TJ together
LITERALLY THIS
TJ being toxic is an understatement too.
TJ literally ruined Ian's life. Ian was forced by TJ to stay in the gang life and everything that comes with it : drugs, rape and violence. And thanks to TJ, Ian got to experience it all so many times.
You are very intelligent and I love you pls dont die
Anybody who wants TJ and Ian together not only romanticize toxicity but also fetishizing gay men because yall quite literally just want to see them F*CK and sure that's cool but as endgame ?? In no world would TJ be a healthy choice. He's hot. He's lovable but they aren't good for each other like atp Ian should be by himself if that means no TJ...
