thinking about the fact that s1 nick/nicholas was centered solely around trying to make his father(s) proud of him and trying his best to be cool and have people like him
and how a) he somehow managed to have taylor fall into that exact same cycle. but not really, cause heâs not trying to make others like him, but he is extremely obsessed with his father. taylor, like nick & narc, loves to brag about his dad, to them, nothing is cooler than their fathers.
oh and b) nicky does the exact thing he did with glenn and jodie- with taylor. he is willing to do anything in order to make taylor proud of him, like him more. he seems to be more focused on having a good friendship with taylor, just as glenn was with him- than being his father.
oooo and also c1) nickyâs entire character in s2 is based on the fact that he thinks itâs better to trust nobody, and to be alone, than to trust other people for as much as two minutes.
in addition to this, c2) nicky must have felt so good to have the kiddads as his friends. to have a group of people that cared about him, and who he cared about. he had his best friends, whom he probably felt comfortable around. yeah.
mhm. and, c3) he mustâve felt so awful, yet slightly familiar- to have those few people betray him.
