there's something so insane about the fact that what Greg wanted since the beginning was someone looking out for him, taking care of him etc. thinking only family will be able to give him that thus always running back to Kendall (quad squad) but in the end realizing that his real family will never care about him and it was tom the only one all along. he kept chasing the classic "family" definition only for all roads to lead back to his Rome, Tom. Greg's smile at the finale indicicating that he finally accepted tom as his sole caretaker, his sole family. not only tom got him but Greg finally let himself get caught. It was only tom and only tom will be. Greg doesn't have to run around anymore searching. platonic or not it doesn't matter they're forever bound to each other now
RRRRGRHRHRHFHH oh godddd this is so 😭 this makes me wanna CRY bc like yeah literally - it’s not surprising at all that greg would cling to blood relations like that. he expects them, as do we all, to look after him when he needs it the most. we don’t know enough about his bg with marianne but we do know she was prepared to abandon him at the beginning of the show in terms of financial stability, and we know that ewan is. well. we know that greg has a history of people giving up on him, of leaving him high and dry, so his survival instinct is to use his wits to protect himself. it’s no surprise that he doesn’t really. believe tom at the beginning bc why is this any different? why is tom going to stay when everybody else has not?
they’re the trope of found family which like. i already Love but god if it isn’t enough how much they care for another they found each other in fucken hell pretty much and made their way through it together [virgil and dante anyone?] and came out at the end stronger than ever. it was a journey of learning that yeah, this person actually does like me! maybe i am worth something after all!
“platonic or not it doesn’t matter they’re forever bound to each other now” uuhgggbnnnfff what if i cried
