ASSORTED/SCI-FI (# by name)

THIS SONG IS SO #DANDREW like it actually pains me. the nostalgia of childhood and (especially for these two) their young adult years, finally feeling “free” in a way—from family and expectation set on them from society at large, as vigilantes and as superheroes. as people with unnatural abilities.

as soon as the team gets an apartment together, i think for all of them it feels like life is finally getting started, but ESPECIALLY for danny and drew. i will absolutely not downplay the internalized homophobia (particularly on drew’s part), but he wasn’t so closed-off to think of danny as “just” a friend. they’re best friends. i don’t think either of them ever got to say it, or could even admit it to themselves, but they really could not imagine a world (a life, a future) without the other in it—they are literally each other’s person.

so they’re like early twenties, finally living together like they planned since middle school, and they’re superheroes! not just vigilantes anymore, because they’ve helped enough people and built enough groundwork for them to be liked and loved instead of tolerated. you’re on top of the world! literally nothing can stop you!*

so on danny’s part, why would he dare to disrupt that? risk not just his relationship with his best friend, but the people he would die for, who would die for him? his family? he’s happy, he really is. EVERYTHING is going right, and even if drew can’t or won’t admit it, danny knows drew loves him (gayly) too. they’re in love, and they’re happy, and they’re best friends, so he can wait. they have all the time in the world.**
