Fandom: Silicon Valley (TV), Firewatch (Video Game) Relationships: Jared Dunn/Richard Hendricks

He’s become obsessed with his voice, which always sounds like it’s breaking, like he’s letting him in on a guilty secret he’s thrilled to be sharing. It’s a lifeline. 

at the start of college, i started writing fic about the smart and really quite touching relationship of these two characters played by two improv guys I liked. i started writing this AU story about them – but it never quite came together. now, about three years later (?) I rewrote it the way I wanted it to feel.

Q: “I’m always curious where [Jared’s] love and his ability to sacrifice comes from. Do you think it’s inherent to his personality? Why does he love these guys and Pied Piper so much? How did that happen? I don’t get it.”

ZW: “That’s a good question. I think when Richard decided to turn down the money, I think for him it was like … a whole other possible world opened up. I think he thought he was going to live out his days at Hooli being a second fiddle to Gavin, trapped in this kind of lucrative but unrewarding corporate existence. But then Richard went rogue and he was just so inspired by that. I think it’s just indigenous to his personality. And I think I’m talking about this like it’s Richard III or something - it’s a half hour comedy, I don’t want to be pretentious about it. 

Sometimes in scenes, I’ll think about it, and if I ever get lost in a scene I’ll just look at Thomas Middleditch and be like… I love you, I love you, in my head, to try to put myself back in the character. I think he just loves them. I don’t know why.”
