their current surroundings echo the way Alex and Tony are that peaceful retreat for each otherYep yep yep, that's it entirely. And partly that's why Tony says Alex is lucky, because she grew up with that kind of haven, and can go back to it whenever she wishes, and this is something he never had, and has decided he shouldn't expect, because apparently he doesn't really deserve it. But Alex is just dying to share it with him, and to give him some of that sanctuary, especially now when his brain is reeling. It's almost as if by seeing where she lived and how peaceful it is, Tony can hopefully realise that this is the very quality she brings to his life all the time. Argh, mush ( ... )

I love the slow pace you set here and I think it works beautifully to show, like you said, the calming effect Alex's family home has on Tony. And your talk about how Tony never really had anything like this (the loving family or a peaceful escape) makes me both sad for his past and terribly happy for the fact that he has Alex now and that she wants nothing more than to share this with him and that her family is so accepting of him.
I seem to have this thing about Tony imagining her when she was young. What is that even about, Liz.*welcome to Liz's crappy attempt to be a psychologist* I think it's because of something we've talked about before, how we wish Tony would ask Alex questions about her life and express more curiosity about her. When you're really head over heels for someone and want to know everything about them, picturing little baby them is just part of that, isn't it? It's just terribly sweet that he wants ( ... )

she wants nothing more than to share this with him and that her family is so accepting of himFor some reason that thing about her family instantly adoring him seems really important to me. I don't really know why (hit me with your awesome psychology-skillz again if you like), but it seems really crucial in my mind. It's not even like Alex spends a lot of time with her family (it seems to me that she doesn't, and is pretty independent and self-sufficient even with them - and I love that maybe this is because she's used to protecting herself and being kind of alone), so maybe it's more my personal thing that I have about Tony getting more open adoration. I'm all about boosting his self-esteem, it seems ( ... )

I have no problem with this fact.
And you're right that that's why it's so touching and wonderful to see Tony getting along so well with Ben (and Alex too, obviously); because even though he's never had anything like that before, it actually comes really naturally to him. Like Alex would say, he can do it!
*seethes with jealous rage over your sekrit psych tutorials and coffee dates with Tony*
Maybe he's afraid if he asks her all the things he wants to, he'll fall even more in love with her and seeing as how he thinks it's hopeless, he just doesn't let himself?Yeah, I definitely like this. I'm sure he holds back a lot with her, just as much as she does with him, as a means of self-preservation. And about his focus being super-intense once let loose? Absofuckinglutely. Every time Tony says that line about the killer in 6.03 (it's something like 'he'll be obsessive with her' etc ( ... )

Way to totally describe yourself, Mr showing up on her doorstep at three in the morning every five seconds.
It really is a good thing that Alex seems to have grown to enjoy stalkerish behavior if Tony is the one doing it. I have to laugh in 4.01 when she yells at him to not ever call her house again because you know in the next year or two she's totally dying for him to call her every night and blowing up his cell right back.
So, in conclusion, the crack you're doing? I'm doing it too. It's good crack. Vegan crack.Excellent. It's nice that we're on the same crack. I think we're the only two people in the world on this particular brand and it's terribly ( ... )

(You mean like me when I get up in the morning and there's no replies from you in my inbox yet?)Ha! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I act sort of like Tony when confronted with no buns if I wake up without an Amelia reply or two in my inbox ( ... )

Yes, surely it's advisable as a codependent to marry another codependent so you can feed off of and encourage each other's codependency issues, right? *is terribly proud of our healthy marriage*
Why do I feel like Kevin would be super annoying in a bake-off? He'd be all cocky and "My muffin is going to kick your muffin's ass!" Also, he'd recruit Paula to be his chef's assistant and she'd be awesome and helpful but also just roll her eyes at him constantly and say things like, "Kev, it's just a bake-off. Calm down."
I just want to eat stuff that comes out of the ground or falls off a tree or something, rather than having been created by some geek in a test-tube. Ha. I'm feeling so self-righteous greenie vego at the moment! Oh, man, I just started this book about a woman who started investigating the food system here in America after her daughter had this ( ... )
