I put you first, because I care about you, and I can't believe you won't do that for me. You'll never do that for me. You'll never do that for anyone.

ah yes, hacks (hbo). the classic strangers to friends to enemies to friends to enemies to friends to strangers to friends to enemies to

the fact that "you're just like me" is both a compliment and a curse, the fact that ava does not want to be like deborah, the fact that deborah forces her to, the fact that it feels good, the fact that deborah is proud of her for it 😫💣💥🤮🧨⚠️✍️🆘️🔥🔪🚫

So they become enemies in the most sexy way ever. Ok. I'm in.

also when will deb realize that what she's been craving all those years is connection? Everything narrowed the way to it- obviously the reason why she wants late night so bad- but also "you're addicted to laughs" "do you ever feel lonely?" "You're lonely all the time" "don't leave me" the imagery of the salt and pepper shakers again "it wasn't just that he left me. it was that you left me too" just for when she finally reaches out for kathy, she "just cant do it" and the one person that can do it with her, she's "willing" to lose, "don't you get it? It will work better because of our relationship. what we make together is good because of it" so whats gonna happen when Deborah finally has everything she (and ava and jimmy etc) fought so hard for but she still feels lonely and there's no one around and she still doesn't feel like she felt when johnny carson went on and made her dad laugh? What then
