You know those few things in life you never get bored of no matter how much you experience them? Hole onto those things. I'm listening to John FInnemore's famed radioplay for something like the fifth time and yet every single time my interpretation and understanding of the characters changed.
Like it wasn't until last time I listened that I saw the potential for Martin/Douglas (aka marlas) as a ship, yet afterwards I read all the fluffy fic I could get my hands on. The first time I listened, I thought Douglas was quite cold and arrogant until the last season or so and thus didn't like him nearly as much as I adored Martin and Arthur. This time, I like Douglas most of all as I can see that even though he hides it well, he really is quite warm and always turns things in Arthur's or Martin's or Carolyn's favour when they're down, even is he disguises it in petty insults and banter.
I owe John Finnemore so much oh my god.
