"INTEROTEME" — but you can call me Boss, Operator, or whatever your little heart desires. I draw what we like. I tend to die and get reborn again every now and then. Feel free to rummage around my inbox, I like getting asks (especially about my OC/my views on characters). I'm an adult; I major in linguistics. The one running things around here.

Re: Benson's values and how he believes autonomy is the most important thing anyone can have.... I just mentioned that Randy's autonomy is something Benson recognizes and wants Randy to recognize himself and to just have some semblance of self respect and to fight back which he didn't at first. Naturally this can be assumed that this stems from Benson's own projection onto Randy because Benson had his own autonomy stripped from him since he was a young child in ways more than one. On top of being molested as a kid he was not allowed to take the time to heal or process because he then had to start taking care of his declining mother and still does in his 30s until the day he died. He never got to live when living is the entire point he is preaching towards Randy. That he needs to fucking live.

Benson/Randy are a lot like Jackothy if you think about it and I've talked about this elsewhere (the messages between my lovely partner and I) but the huge difference between the two despite their very striking similarities is that Benson recognizes, respects, and values Randy's autonomy whereas Jack believes he has some kind of authority over Timothy's. But other than that they're pretty similar.... older guy who is infatuated with someone younger who he sees a lot of himself in to the point of projection and has since forever changed the younger one's sense of identity entirely. Obviously Jackothy has years and years and years of more harm and history but they have interesting parallels.
