#twedit #sceoedit #tw #sceo #HI TEAM. I FEEL CRAZY #scott mccall #theo raeken #so its the first scene with scott and theo. scott recognizes theo but doesn't instantly trust him. scott is coming off of s4 #he needs people to be good because he knows he can be bad. there has to be redemption because he needs to be redeemed #his own goodness doesn't feel inherent and so believing in the good of others is how he can believe in himself #he worries love is violence. he still can't trust theo on sight. #he trusts him by that scene in 510 where he says his friends have left him and theo says he can get them back for him. #theo is why he has lost his friends. theo has made this happen. theo has made scott love him so he can best hurt him. love is violence #and then the hug which breaks scott open. the skepticism on his face vs the way he clings to theo with his chin pressed into his shoulder #face half hidden in the bulk of theo. the way his chin falls onto theo's shoulders the same way when theo impales him #the way theo nestles closes in both gifs. the way both are acts of violence in different ways. #so we have the doubt and the trust in the first set and the act that finally made scott fully trust theo #and the act that fully destroyed that trust in the middle #in the last pair we have theo back in the position where he needs scott to trust him. scott wants to. the slow rebuild of their trust #bc now theo is vulnerable and scott cannot help himself! he can't. but he still tries. there's only love and violence #and then the scene that shows scott is willing to trust him again. theo at scott's back with claws raised. #theo standing still instead of walking toward or walking away. #scott looks to theo and theo looks away. but he raises his claws for scott. the violence we must do #the end is the real beginning #(also with the yves olade quote that's not the one in the book but it is a version circulating! and it worked for this!! so!!!!)
