Hii ada 🥰 For nice ask week, tell me about your favorite Lone Star character, if you like!! I'm pretty sure I know who it is but just want to hear you talk about them 😏

Desi, my dear! How are you? I hope life is being kind to you <3

What if I pulled an absolute wild card and said something like Pearce LOL

No but I think you're right in the fact you already know who it is because lord knows I do not shut up about Carlos Tomás Reyes!

I don't know what it is about that man, but god there's much to explore and I want a map to all of it.

I want to know more about his sisters, I want to know if he's an uncle (I've already decided he is but whatevs), I want to know what happened to Kique the Koala, I want to know if he played JV soccer in high school or if he was a stage tech for theater.

Then there's of course just his normal disposition; it's so familiar in the sense that I know why it's stoic, but it's so alien in the sense I know there's more to it that we don't know yet.

I want to know about his relationship with religion, I want to know if there was a battle between that and his sexuality and what the aftershocks of that were. But alas, this is a 44 minute ensemble show that is also a procedural, so maybe we'll get all these answers by season 34 😭

Anyways, I just realized that I didn't say why he's my favorite character and barring everything above because I do love that there's so much to explore, I love that he's just as much a hopeless romantic as TK is.

How smitten he was when talking about TK in the early episodes of s1 to Michelle? Calling him a 10 with a smile he probably doesn't even know he's making? Making dinner in the middle of the night to a man who sees it as nothing more than a booty call? Tim Minear said we're gonna get this man some love on GOD

I don't know, I think he's just so interesting because we know he, in his own way, struggled with terms around his sexuality, but seeing that it doesn't stop him from having so so so so much love for TK, for another man, proves that they are, in fact, soulmates. He'd love him in every universe because he'll always have so much to give.
