Anyway I’m thinking about the “you know, you really aren’t his type. I’m surprised.” Line tonight. Just. Head full. many ways to think abt it.
very valid is the idea that dadsona is nothing like Robert and thus “not his type” but also it isn’t a big reach to think this line implies that there has been a pattern, meaning more than one instances of Joseph showing interest in someone else.
i feel like it’s more than just a pot stirring insult from her too. like yeah she’s def lookin to do some of that, but also I feel like it adds to the whole “observer” line she has when u first meet her. i feel like there’s gotta be a layer of truth to it.
even if u don’t think it’s implying more than just robert, like the baseline for his “type” still is both Robert and Mary who are extremely similar in a lot of ways which dadsona falters at.
which is basically a project lol. I feel like joseph is just drawn to people he thinks that he can help despite the help that he also needs. I feel like it def makes sense with his line of work. He wants to be able to try and fix people and yet he’s failed that twice lol
makes me wonder how well dadsona and joseph would actually work? would it be better since he can focus more on himself instead of someone else? or doomed because eventually joseph would get bored and go looking for someone to fix again?
I feel like I should add, dadsona def has things that he could use support still, like some of his grief and having his daughter a big transition stage in her life but it is def not anywhere near the broke self destructive tendencies of Mary and Robert lol
But anyway I feel like Mary is self aware enough and understands joseph enough to realize that he’s drawn to those type of people. But I think in a post divorce situation when Joseph starts dating again she would get really worried about him and what he was getting into
she’s always been a support system for him. Even with how fucked things are, she’s been there. She knows him so much and there is a core friendship support system I think they could get back to. And Mary cares very much about her friends. But she would call him out
In a heartbeat for the fact that he keeps going to people who he feels he can help and then it just ends up breaking his heart in the end. And who is there still to pick up the pieces but her? She can’t avoid it, she still sees him all the time, trying to split time with the kids
She cares about how he’s doing she would continue to be that person for him but fuck that would weigh on her so much when she has so much bettering of herself she needs to do.
lol this thread just ended up somewhere else but. this is just what happens when I get started on them
