Re: matt, stick was an asshole

ARGH ok maybe i wrote this comment last night after a beer and didn't even notice that pun :D now it distresses me

(and what's even more interesting is I know this show started off based on Frank Miller's work, and frank miller DEFINITELY has that uncritical "hypermasculine the-weak-die-the-strong-live warrior culture" shit going on so the fact that the show (probably?) comments on how unsustainable that way of life actually is, mentally and emotionally - it's cool!!)

...aw, can you imagine? at first foggy just assumes that matt is a weirdo because he grew up a poor orphan, right, and that matt doesn't - fuck, I dunno, matt doesn't order sour cream on his chipotle because it's an extra 50cents and money was tight growing up?

but matt is incredibly generous as a person, always leaves a huge tip and shit, brings coffee to study group, it's just that his clothes are worn down and his sheets have holes in them and i dunno, maybe his cane is dinged up and he's patching his glasses together with duct tape or w/e. blah blah details.

and finally foggy is fed up with this nonsense so he's like "holy shit, whichever priest told you you gotta live like a monk was an ASSHOLE, okay, it doesn't hurt anyone for you to have nice pants if you can afford 'em,"

and matt answers almost without thinking, y'know, "it wasn't a PRIEST foggy respect my catholic fai -- uh. i mean. NOBODY told me that, i know i can have nice stuff, haha!"

and foggy's like uh huh i gotcha, "nobody," and Hereby Begins the Campaign to Make Matt Enjoy Creature Comforts.

and finally matt gives in out of SELF DEFENSE, okay, because every time foggy passive-aggressively "forgets" to order matt's coffee black and comes back with like a mocha (OR W/E, you guys know what i mean, all that "if i am not always slightly uncomfortable i am WEAK" nonsense, not saying that people don't genuinely enjoy black coffee, just trying to think of examples that wouldn't be foggy overstepping his boundaries and being a shit) well, can't let it go to waste, DAMNIT, fine, i will get myself nice shit i guess.
