no, you don't understand—i'm no one!

This scene ALWAYS makes me cry so I’m twinning with Matt

this dumb little obscure 2000s webseries has no right being this emotionally impactful

tgey call him Luca because he lucs a you with his Camera

They call him Jared because that's his name

what do they need all this footage for

holy fucking FUCK

wretched 4th of july everyone may the american empire turn to dust in our lifetime

an evergreen sentiment

matthew johnson in business attire and suspenders for an entire movie changed my life

i love the jokes about Matt chaining Jay to his radiator and stuff but I wanna say, a core part of Matt is that he doesn't actually want to totally take away Jay's autonomy. like he could if he wanted, I believe in his ability to. but what Matt wants is to be chosen by Jay over and over in the same way he chooses Jay over and over. he'll do stuff to manipulate this decision obviously lol. and argue. The Buffet was entirely an exercise in getting Jay to realize how much he needs Matt. and he doesn't stop Jay from getting a job. he even relents and apologizes for his freakout. it's not about the job interview, it's about Jay confessing that Matt doesn't fulfill all his needs and that feels like being shot with a gun. he didn't stop Jay from going to a party, he just turned up and made Jay choose him again, even if Jay wasn't aware of it. Matt presented a choice between him and Kayla and wanted Jay to choose correctly, he didn't block the exits. Matt just needs to be chosen and so Jay needs the freedom to choose and this is the Matt torture nexus because even as Jay will always come around, he will keep Matt doubting for the rest of their lives. it's great, it's really great stuff. that's why there's no radiators in Jay's future and why I'm less into the characterization of Matt as being that brand of controlling

dare i say this is one of his sexiest looks

hooking onto his chest like a suckerfish to aquarium glass
