SKY META

This started out as a fandomhigh-related post about how I'm going to play Sky, but as things tend to do inside my head, it blossomed into something a LOT bigger. So bear with me, this will have a point.

But he didn't do that. Sure, he thought Bridge was odd and got annoyed with him, but instead of calling him names or pushing over, he usually just rolled his eys and moved on.

And that's one of the reasons I 'ship Bridge/Sky, because you're right, he could've picked on Bridge and made Bridge be afraid of him, but he chose to be friends with him instead. He is short with Bridge on occasion, yeah, and sometimes makes him feel like crap when teasing him, but for the most part they're not two guys you'd expect to be such good friends. Sky cares about his little buddy a lot, especially more toward the end of the series- "Missing" is one of my favorite episodes for this reason. Sky's very clearly agitated the whole time, like when he, Sam and the girls go to talk to Piggy- he paces in the background, nervously fiddles with things, and is uncharacteristically quiet.

So yes- he can hurt feelings and be a little abrasive and hard to approach, but he also cares about his friends and would do anything for them, and they have to know this or else they wouldn't stick so close by him. They, especially Jack, were steadfastly and unquestionably on his side when he took on Mirloc for example, in spite of all the times he's been a jerk to them.
