#not depicted me rubbing my hands with glee at the end of s4

truly one of the main components for cobra husbands for me personally that I crave in order to be into it, is how it absolutely doesn’t work and not because they don’t love each other and it couldn’thave worked theoretically, once Terry’s parents die there’s no real outside forces stopping them, but because they’re both the sort of people who inevitably cannot make it happen for ohso many reasons, they’ll always drag each other down, and make the wrong decisions, and feel resentment and betrayal and anger at the other’s choices, and they’ll escalate and escalate until it’s too much to bear (and then maybe they’ll kill each other – they wouldn’t let anyone else do it, after all. It’s too intimate a gift to bestow on someone they don’t love with their whole heart)
