Elbows Up.

charlie young was systematically neglected by the narrative and i mourn the version of the show where he had more of a substantive role. i think about the scene of the white house being locked down due to someone shooting at it and charlie outpacing multiple secret service agents to reassure himself that the president's safe at least once a day. i think about the fact that the previous shooting was motivated by his mere existence. the story didn't give him a lot of space to deal with that and, in fact, made it about his white girlfriend but i remember and i know dulé hill would have killed any scenes they would have given him.

fellas. imagine being a seasoned white house reporter and you've got a crush on the new white house press secretary cause she's got legs and a sense of humor and god wished he had her unflappability. and then you're talking to one of her best friends about politics, and you do him a favor, so he tells you she likes goldfish. so you go to the pet store and buy a goldfish and a pretty little tank for her office, so she's got something nice to look at, and when she recieves it, she's laughing so hard she can barely contain herself, and she tells you she likes the little goldfish crackers

And then she keeps that goldfish for the rest of the administration!

Mutual pining is great, but you know what's even better? Mutual pining where they're both fully aware the feelings are requited, they just can't do anything about it for other reasons. Or maybe they technically could but they've had to choose not to, because of The Circumstances.
