@takingovermidnight I may or may not have uttered Stan’s exact words once when I was cooking.

4 and 5. What is a moment when each character is vulnerable? How does each character react to the other being vulnerable?

Ford’s vulnerability comes from the areas in which he has little knowledge or experience, such as dating, being in a relationship, physical intimacy, or just… little things like small talk or pop culture. He prides himself on his intellect, and he hates not knowing something because it makes him feel inadequate. Mouse understands this insecurity, and is careful not to tease him about gaps in his knowledge.

Mouse’s vulnerability manifests itself in the form of trust issues. She finds it hard to trust someone, and when she finally allows herself to, she is terrified that it will backfire on her, that she’ll be betrayed for opening her heart up. After Ford’s experiences with Bill, he knows the feeling all too well, and he tries his best to be honest with her at all times, and to back his words with actions.

44. When are they jealous for the other?

They don’t really get jealous, per se, because neither of them are the type to flirt with others. (Hell, they’re not even good at flirting with each other. lol) Nor are they the kind of people who fall for someone easily. It takes them a long time to develop feelings for another person, and when they finally do give away their heart, it’s for good.

Soos and Mel are so dang cute together, I honestly can’t see anything for their future other than a happy life running the Shack with a bunch of weird, hilarious kids. With Stan being the unofficial grandpa.
