I think people forget that Ian is also a flawed, unhealed character. That voltriol and mutual obsession he has with Tj is something he seeks because he isn't healthy. Him stringing Joe along, not committed is because he isn't healed yet. And although he likes and wants the idea of a healthy relationship, he himself isn't ready for that because the moment TJ left and stopped seeking him out, he freaked out and went to go seek him out! He likes the chaoticness of their relationship. That and them having so much history, it's probably hard for him to let go. Idk how this is going to lean, but what is think is either TJ or Joe is going to die. Don't ask me why I think that, lmao but I feel like it'll be because of Ian tbh.
