suits and spanking

like what do you MEAN those two ARENT having a relationship behind the backs of their coworkers and hooking up in the file room…

I’m watching suits and genuinely cannot make this shit up I got so hard I fell over and broke my leg

wow

All the parallels set up between Harvey and Mike (Harvey being a former failure Jessica turned into a success, “I’m looking for another me,” “Bringing in a client this young, you remind me of Harvey” ) combined with Harvey’s established narcissistic tendencies make it clear to me that he’s territorial over Mike’s genius much like he is territorial over his own. He was being honest when hiring— he desires another version of himself.

I think that in his current inability to care about and connect with other people, Harvey creates an “exception” for Mike, caring about him, looking out for him, and respecting him at the highest level he is able to — as a literal extension of himself.

Like in episode two when Harvey takes responsibility for Mike’s failure to file the patent on time, citing it as his job and his responsibility? So, so, so early into the series (I’m literally starting episode three right now) they’ve already begun to regard their failures as combined. Job responsibility or not, Harvey’s failure to appreciate other people leads him to consider Mike as himself — or, as his, — as a roundabout justification for appreciating and respecting him fully.
