#i've said it before and i'll say it again: if you like tarnell but do not like rolding then you cannot be my friend

#also did you even watch the terror they were besties?!

#anyway rolding is one of -if not the most-important character-to the third act

#all acts really - he's truly a main character even if his screen time is lacking because he is involved in every major action

#throughout the show and is not a 'blind follower' of hickey but a willing and active participant; like hickey has the charisma and

#the ambition - yes - but tozer has the skill - billy the brains - and rolding has the deception

#he's the perfect spy and even tho they were desperate to believe anything at that point - he still pulls one over on crozier and little

#and completes his revenge arc that was set from the beginning of the show bc he and hickey were FRIENDS and had loving friendships

#with evans - strong - and young and their friends died horrific and tragic deaths and were treated as though they weren't so

#but sure let's have a full funeral and speech for sir john's fucking leg

#i know the show could only do so much and represent so much but as it stands it perfectly represents the class and hierarchy present

#but i digress - goldings anger and resentment is so palpable and tangible while hickey's remains subdued and calculated - but they're both

#mad af and they act on it - not excusing their actions obvs - but their motivations began (and for golding - seem to have remained)

#out of love and friendship and idk why (I KNOW WHY) crozier and bridgens and blanky get all the praise for the same thing

#that hickey and golding and billy and tozer are doing (and doing MUCH better if i might add)

#rolding wanted revenge for his friends that were treated as though they didn't matter by the men who were supposed to ensure that they did

#and in the end of his arc he believes he achieves it - bringing crozier to hickey was supposed to ensure his end

#by the point only a select few are still holding out hope for being rescued or surviving -the other have moved to acceptance or indifferene

#but golding is one character that remains sane and whole until his end is met and it's through his anger & resentment that he achieves this

#through his love he is able to survive to see their deaths not held in vain and to bring their suffering to justice

#his is one of the only arcs brought to fully realization and the fact that it is based in love is so fulfilling -even if his own end is bad

#from start to finish - he is underestimated and invisible - it's only in his greatest moment - his greatest act of love do we see him fully

#and ITS THE BEST I LOVE HIM

#i will never be free
