Okay but can we just take a moment
to appreciate the sweet little poems Tanner writes for William Anthony in Season 1?
Roses are red, Tulips are blu, I’d never smash your hat Because I love u.
I can’t keep you from my mind I think of weed And of your suits You are sweet and you are kind.
Even though I’m pretty sure that Shelby helped him with the second one (it has no spelling mistakes and let’s be honest, Tanner would never use the word ‘kind’ to describe his beloved Fuckface), these poems reveal sooo much about Tanners thoughts and about his feelings. Normally, Tanner Jeremy Aspen is not the person that writes poems. He is not a guy who thinks about red roses or blue tulips (in fact, he doesn’t even know enough about flowers to realize that there are no blue tulips). But for William Anthony, he makes these efforts. He does it. And he confesses that he would never smash William Anthonys head, that he would never hurt him. That he is the only thing he has on his mind. Tanner loves him so much that he gives away the only weapon he knows: Violence. He would never ever again use physical violence against his boyfriend. Isn’t that the sweetes confession he could’ve made?
