I genuinely love the direction chosen to show TT’s relationship growing in S2 . When S1 first aired, this was something I thought about A LOT. Tharn is an affectionate lover, constantly telling Type that he loves him. When Type says “Don’t say I love you too+
often, it’ll lose its meaning”, I was very curious about how long Tharn could last while understanding that Type loves in a quieter way. Its easier for him to dismiss it when they are young and they spend a lot of time together, but I knew that as they would grow older, got jobs
and had less time for each other, Tharn would mature and need that reaffirmation that Type loves him in a more emotionally adult relationship setting. He can no longer waive it off because they are now not just a couple, but well rounded individuals as well.
Tharn does have insecurities with love, given how many times people have hurt him. He can work on it, but it is a part of him too. It’s easy to say that Type shows Tharn he loves him, (granted, Idk how often Type will say ‘I love you’ in S2 yet), and that should be enough. But,
he is the type of person who needs to HEAR it too. (Everyone is this type of person eventually). This can be seen when he breaks down after Type says "I love you" for the first time in S1 ep 12. In Tharn’s case, even after 7 years, I think factoring in how Type is the one who
doesn’t want to get married at first, it IS possible that this triggers Tharn into thinking that Type may not imagine a future with him anymore, no matter how much Tharn trusts Type. Especially if he finds Type being kind to someone who has an obvious crush on him. Type is+
a med student Tharn, forgive him. He& #39;s very busy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤡" title="Clownsgesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Clownsgesicht"> and he& #39;s just doing his job. I don’t think its that Tharn doesn’t trust Type, I think Tharn doesn’t know if he can trust his conscience to keep telling himself that Type loves him, if Type is not confirming it at a matched
frequency. It’s as if, Tharn as a certain capacity of affection and words that needs to be shown and said for him to believe his head when it says that the Type loves him. But, if Type isn’t saying it as often, there’s a deficit Tharn constantly has to make up for in his mind.
That gets exhausting, trying to convince himself of something he becomes unsure of when it’s not just that Type isn’t as vocal about his feelings, but Type also says he doesn’t want to marry Tharn. I think it’s possible that this is how Tharn stops believing himself, because
Type’s words have (IN THARN& #39;S MIND) have contradicted the fact that he has probably told himself - that Type loves him and wants to marry him just as badly as he wants to marry Type.
Interestingly, it is not Tharn’s fault for not communicating his insecurities properly, neither is it Type& #39;s for not communicating his love and fears entirely. Ofcourse, everyone has different ways of showing love, but
it’s also important to adapt to meet you partner midway. I know there’s this conception that being the ‘giver’ in a relationship is exhausting, but I think being a ‘taker’ is just as difficult. Eventually, its not easy to muster up the energy to keep
coaxing someone to say they love you.
Now in the end, it conveys what I love about TTTS the most, THEY& #39;RE SO FLAWED AND HUMAN, but they grow. It seems silly, but I do genuinely believe that this bump in the road is what will show them that love and marriage requires constant
effort and for both people to show up for each other, to trust each other enough to communicate their thoughts and allow for both of them to take the time to think about something thats troubling them, even if they fight.
Because - they are individual people with individual feelings , their bond requires that effort, but its important for them both to know that their relationship will always be worth the effort. There is nothing better out there for them than their love.
So say "I love you"! And mean it! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
