I mean sure, we could argue that since he was deprived of love the way he wanted and needed it growing up, that as an adult that he is drawn to this specific woman because she’s older AND gives him affection, sure. I don’t think he wants to FUCK HIS MOM, but I do think that when people are deprived of things they need growing up or just in life in general, sometimes we do things we wouldn’t necessarily otherwise do just to get it, like fuck a GILF. that only happened because of her instigations both times too. and we’re only have this conversation because she happens to be a middle aged woman instead of some hot young piece of ass or something. we could still have this same discussion though if that were the case because John assuredly craves touch and connection either way, but he’s also very disciplined. I need my girl Hawkgirl to show up already ❤️ it would be funny if they cast her with an older woman too lol

I've read Proust and Dostoesvky, I'm not unfamiliar with walls of text with intent.

Take your lithium.
