I love these two goofballs and their friendship. I don’t even care if they become a couple or not. They are just so cute together and their banter gives me life. <3

2023-03-29 07:40:46 +0000 UTCIt’s possible she doesn’t, or it’s possible it’s some variation on that, like she simply doesn’t know how. Joyce would have a hard time admitting she actively feels romantically towards someone even if she did, due in some part to her upbringing probably not actively encouraging romantic feelings as a natural thing that happens between people. Maybe as something that magically appears AFTER marriage, or a vague feeling people get when they realize they both like Christ the same amount. And it’s doubtful her parents modeled much romance, it seems like they got increasingly distant. And then add in the twist factor of probable neuro-atypicality, and it’s hard to say if Joyce will experience exactly what we might recognize as neurotypical romance. (More like, say, Danny and Sal.) Maybe more like Dina and Becky? Sometimes science, maybe not extremely lovey-dovey, but mutual like and sometimes pants euphoria? Joyce likes it enough to try whatever it is thus far, that’s something. I guess what I’m driving at is it might not be the total absence of romance, just that a Joyce experiences romance differently enough not to register on standard Romance Radar. Joe seems ok to go along with that thus far.

2023-03-29 07:37:48 +0000 UTCThis is so cute... I love Joe/Joyce. I love the way that Joyce is the only one who tries to see through to the real Joe and vice versa. So good.

2023-03-29 06:10:47 +0000 UTCI think Joyce was dipping around the question because she doesn't really like Joe, romantically. She thinks he's hot, sure, but that's not the same, I think. She does like him as a friend though, that's pretty clear.

2023-03-29 05:03:13 +0000 UTCI watched the clip, and I misquoted him. People are bastard coated bastards with bastard *filling*. And here's a link to the scene I'm referring to https://youtu.be/FTbgvYPVdXE
