I love Martin Wallstrom’s interpretation of Tyrell’s feelings for Elliot XD.

I love how into the ship he is XD:

I tell myself it’s imperative that I study these gifs of Martin Wallstrom in preparation for 3D sculpting him… just doing research 🙃

I don’t get how anyone was ever confused by Tyrell’s motivations for joining Elliot and F Society to hack the economy. Like, why would someone drive themselves so hard to climb the corporate ladder like Tyrell had for years before that? The answer is the same. Tyrell is just one of those people with an internal drive to matter, to have an impact, to achieve big things, to have an outsized value. Tyrell aspires to greatness without regard for goodness or his own happiness. He aspires to greatness for its own sake, meaning it’s an empty vessel of a goal, waiting to be filled, devoid of human or moral content. What reason beyond its grandness would a man like Tyrell need to join the plan to undo E Corp?

He’s the same as Price in this way, but with more runaway imagination, more heart, less insight into himself and others (at first), and a total inability to remove emotion. The key difference between Tyrell and Price, actually, might be that aspiration to greatness is authentic for Price, whereas it’s a substitute for authenticity for Tyrell. That might be why Price plays the role with gusto and conviction up until it stings him, whereas Tyrell is unraveling every minute of every day and maybe always has been.

And its precisely in achieving his goal, in doing something truly great but not at all good or authentic, that leaves Tyrell broken and convinced of his own emptiness. Without the lure of greatness to convince himself there’s something inside him, he thinks there’s nothing.

But the tragedy of Tyrell might be that he never actually was empty. He acted like he was, maybe subconsciously believed he was, scrambling to find something to fill himself up. But it was self defeating because there was already so much going on in there, there wasn’t room for his false aspirations. He’s full of love and longing, and he probably would have been a totally different and much better person if life had led him to figure out what all that stuff inside him was really about.

Maybe the problem was that the stuff Tyrell knew to be inside him, the true content of his desires, seemed contemptible. Something damaged him and made him resent his authentic self. It’s no wonder he latched on to Elliot so hard, then: Elliot is a great man, with a great aspiration, and Tyrell feels something authentic for him. So Tyrell can bypass his essential internal conflict between grand impact and authenticity by hitching his horse to Elliot’s revolution. He can have it both ways.

Then he finds out the revolution just made him feel worse, and he can never have Elliot, meaning not only can’t he have it both ways, he can’t have anything anymore.

Yeah, this is my understanding of the character. Love you Tyrell, you’re too relatable, please stop.

I wonder what the boys on the Mr. Robot subreddit, where Tyrell is considered ambiguously straight, would say if I pointed out that the recap before Tyrell’s showcase episode 303 includes him sleeping with Anwar but doesn’t include him hacking Anwar’s phone. Like the editor was telling us “It’s important for you to know this man sleeps with men” right before an episode where Tyrell spends five months asking where Elliot is.

Tyrelliot is a ship where one character wants human connection so much it’s unhealthy and the other wants it so little it’s unhealthy. What an interesting dynamic. My stupid babies. Would they balance each other out in the end?

#but which is which?#because elliot is the one we know is suffering extremely from loneliness which is one of his biggest motivations #yet he's the one who retracts and avoids #tyrell i assume is the opposite because of his ambition like his yearning to fulfill that god status #yet hes the one who's always reaching towards him #im still watching the show im not finished so if im misinterpreting them please forgive me lol #both of them are contradictions #total little antiparallel mirrors. like dna strands. u feel me?#anywho

"aw i love your earrings, they're so cute!" i say, making the barista's day. i sit down with my coffee and send a respected mutual an anon ask reading "you look like you've got that homestuck kinnie pussy." thus i have maintained the balance of suffering in the world for another day. as i wander down the beach of life, my footsteps do not even disturb its grains
