#B: I think of their partnership as a love between two men who are the same type of extremely emotionally unavailable and inarticulate, to the point that the only son of a bitch on Earth who can speak their awful language is one another. They’re on the same wavelength in so many regards, between predilections for violence, anti-social behavior, pure stupidity and pride, that they make perfect partners whether it’s platonic or romantic. And, hell, if it’s romantic it’s gay so that’s just bonus points on top, right? For me the funnier thing is for them to be extremely in tune with one another and communicative in their own terrible ways. They have a steady, supportive relationship and volatile, argumentative, emotionally and sexually charged rows with one another every other week. 

I’ve already talked about my ideas for their wedding, and a bit about proposals, but as confessions go I like to think it was the work of many years. They knew each other through wartime (most 20′s gangsters were Doughboys and saw battle in trench warfare so they got real jacked up, I particularly like this angle for these two meeting as soldiers in an awful war cut off from their lives back home) and developed a very strong connection the way soldiers do. Then it turned into mutual benefit when they came home and went into business as crimesters. All the while they stay tight as co-conspirators, social descendants, DEEP misanthropes, and their partnership leads to them being the most important person in one another’s life.
