Damn. Although that Tumblr post you linked to gives a pretty good insight. I like 'full-on, weaponized bittersweetness'. I can get behind that. I do love me some bittersweet, ngl. Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen are interesting writers. It's like . . . Moffat's themes with Joss Whedon's building blocks. Or something like that. It's hard to explain, but they're somehow not as purely sadistic as Joss, but they sure did learn a lot from him and they do love to bring the pain.
Watched some more Peggy afterwords, so she made things better : )
Take him, make him a girl & a few years younger and that could be Impish Girl. The mannerism, the turns of phrase/mode of speech, everything. It's her as a youtuber and male. Lol. Adorable.
Though I hope she's alright, because he just did a whole lot of crying.
