sports is suffering!

Isn't it so interesting how matt basically says out loud in the webseries this isnt about the rivoli im doing this for us this is how we spend time together and then in the movie as soon as jay leaves him its no longer about the rivoli even a little bit and his only focus is getting close to jay again. Like I dont think the rivoli matters to that boy even the tiniest bit because he literally only cares about one thing in life

sometimes i worry that my fujoshıïsm is stunting my intellectual ability but then i remember im literally enlightened

like ntbts is rpf the show in the sense that the space in front of the camera is a safe place to act out and test scenarios and fantasies in a way that is both grounded in reality and wildly fantastical and say stupid and crazy and funny things with the safety net of performance around the entire project. And crucially it's all improvised. so whatever matt and jay say of their character counterparts is 1 of 3 things: something they've thought about & discussed and informs any bit that they do, something discovered on the fly that was retrospectively made significant because of how funny or weird or remarkable it was, or just something that comes straight from the soul. damned if it's fake (why did you come up with that while riffing with your best friend?), damned if it's real (you're really airing that on your stupid sitcom where you play a fictionalised version of yourself?)
