you guys wanted my unpopular sas:rh opinion so here goes: i think that not having paddy and eoin kiss onscreen is a far stronger narrative choice and makes far more sense for paddy’s character than having them kiss onscreen. i do not think that paddy and eoin were ever in a relationship. were they in love with each other? absolutely. truly, madly, deeply. profound devotion. would they ever have acted on those feelings before eoin’s death? fuck no. for me, half of the reason paddy is so torn up by eoin’s death is because he never got the chance to tell eoin he loved him because he’s a coward and a failure and he destroys everything he touches and they’re blowing poetry out of his brain and replacing it with men screaming. but that’s just my take
