I don't get it. Yeah it's sad that he feels like he is nothing but why do Ian need to comfort and reaffirm him in a moment where he is expressing how he feels and how hurt he is as well. TJ never did that for Ian. They both could've said something to reassure each other but they didn't It's always "I feel bad for TJ and Ian should have said something" for some reason. I know you probably didn't do it on purpose but I seriously don't get it.
If you read again since the beginning tj even since he was a kid care more about wealth and status, he's willingly by his own willingness join the gang. It's not surprising that he didn't prioritize ian as a human, but want ian as the prize for him to keep. He care about hole, not a human being as a partner with personalities and needs
I think it’s interesting who angry people are at TJ. I think it’s sad.
This criminal life is his center….he just said plainly he’d feel like nobody nothing. That fuck up in so many way but he a product of his environment and circumstance.
I’m not saying Ian should’ve stay but I wish he would have said “you’d be somebody to me, does that count for nothing?” Maybe that would’ve planted a seed for him to pontificate on, idk.
As is he is going to go out in a like a sparkler match incendiary and bright but ultimately fizzle into truly into what he thinks of himself nothing.
I feel bad for him
