REBLOG WHATEVER YOUR ❤️ DESIRES!

i'm sorry but ryan atwood is so. like. when you meet him he's dark and quiet and broody and doesn't talk much and you think "oh okay this is the typical emo bad boy just blonde this time". but then. then. he gets to discover love and a healthy environment he can thrive in and you, as the audience, get to truly know who he is and. god. he's still quiet and broody but also. he's profoundly good and kind. loyal, protective and self sacrificial to a fault. and he's sarcastic and teasing. so smart and hard working. and he's so so, oh so very soft. and he's awkward. so painfully — but charmingly — socially awkward. and he stammers when he asks the girl he likes on a date for his brother. what a beautiful take on this overused archetype. what a wonderfully written character.
