okay well i need to get out my demons effective immediately, so im just gonna go crazy here for a second. tw for cringe under the cut (me being crazy about willry)

dear god where i do start. okay so basically my interpretation of willry is that wills extraordinarily in love with henry like genuinely so down bad for him. unfortunately for him henry is so oblivious to this fact.

i also think that williams deeply repressed homosexual because let's be real this is utah in the 70s-80s and i don't think he would even have the words to describe how he feels. he'd be like "yeah i just think me and henry are destined to be partners (in business) and i always want to be around him etc etc. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IM IN LOVE WITH HIM THOUGH THAT JUST MEANS WE ARE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!" (<- denial is a river in egypt you are gay)

as for henry he's just some guy. to me (bi-oriented aroace) (he's just like me fr) but he also doesn't have the words to Describe how he feels. so he just kind of ignores it. i don't think they'd ever get together, though that's just me. mainly because like i said williams Deeply Repressed homosexuality would probably get in the way of any of that.

also.... william doesn't really love henry per se. he thinks he does in the deepest recesses of his mind/subconscious. but he Doesn't. he loves the idea of henry. he loves the concept of henry and not the actual person. how do i explain this without sounding insane (<- impossible). he loves the henry he's made up in his mind, for many years, while getting to know the actual henry. in his mind, he loves the idealized version of henry. yes, he has a basic understanding of henry's personality and likes & dislikes etc, but at the end of the day, he loves only the made up henry in his mind.

he loves the henry who'd love him unconditionally and without question no matter what he did to him. he loves the henry who'd go along with his bullshit and believe every word that comes out of his mouth (which henry has NEVER done). like i said, he has a basic understanding of henrys personality, sure, but that doesn't mean he actually loves him. when he remembers what the actual henry is like (strong willed, an actually decent father & family man, slightly awkward, and withdrawn, etc) he just becomes insanely jealous of what henry has and he doesn't. hence that one gay gay homosexual gay line from the books (which i will paste here for your viewing pleasure)

ummm... yeah thats my interpretation of their relationship pretty much summarized in a neat little package heart. if you've read this far you are gods strongest soldier and heres a special little treat just for you <3

(this would never happen btw its solely for the bit)
