#and it's so damn plausible.... #billions Does go ''this character's doing better :)'' by having them dating someone which = they kissed (& possibly also then fucked) #and taylor has over & over chosen other priorities over what's good just for Business or Power. why wouldn't they now #starting tmc was for themself & was an obviously super risky business move Not guaranteed more lucrative than staying w/axe #but they had to do it b/c they personally couldn't bear to keep operating that way as axe's begrudgingly more compensated tool #to use whenever however he wanted....end of s4 obviously made the pivot away from not only profits but hypothetical Personal Revenge.... #end of s5 again they gotta Not be axe's tool. arguably dumping lauren was a redirect of what they could've done re their personal #relationship with wendy; the more longstanding one there & the one most poised to fuck more shit up for them even now.... #s6 they're still just awaiting their chance to break out; they've handed themself the memo of ''don't date someone based on being trapped i #the inescapable escape room together b/c you both decide not to pursue more of a life outside the escape room than that'' #(which; like wendy not going to superhell being like ''lol. ok Sure she prudently wouldn't'': rian shouldn't be dying to date taylor b/c #neither of them have ever been shown enjoying each other's company very much or for more than 5 seconds; but if for some reason that's not #enough and if she's fired off zero thoughts abt why it's a shit idea to slap the zillionaire politician boss man twice your age's bald head #then i don't believe she'd sagely & so much respect warrantingly turn taylor down. but it's pretty clear that rian's motivations are Only #gonna ever be whatever the [other character's plotlines] in any given scene would be conveniently helped along by. amazing) #meanwhile philip has chosen to be here but he's very much Not just like ''ok guess i'll go in the escape room'' with it #doesn't work for taylor or vice versa; Chose to work With taylor And vice versa #they Do both choose to interact and Do both find it enriching; already unlike taylor interacting with rian #& already p much outdoing the development of taylaur or the mistake that was [not just banging oscar once if you're gonna bother at all] #(or at least making it a ''we'll hook up if you're on my coast'' maximizing Convenience cwb situation) (colleagues) #it's so Enriched overall already like. this has to be Important #and we'll take ''it is important'' and please In A Good Way #and billions is perfectly liable to make it a matter of kissing into dating into your personal stonks being up #winston billions #taylip #just looking at those images like....c'mon
