I don't feel there's a crush but there's indeed an obsession. I think Shane's one of those people who have a lot of "internal" problems (mental illness, unresolved traumas, ...) but are actively running from/avoiding those issues by obsessing over something or someone. These obsessions change or evolve once the novelty wears off. It's a constant cycle. It's a behavior that tends to worsen things over time, because the person doesn't work towards healing his/her wounds. A lot of the time they become psychologically tired, they tend to depress more, meanwhile they develop more and more obsessions to cope with that.moonlightbitch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 10:32 amI may be reaching, but I feel like shane has a weird obsession with jeffree/has a crush on him and ryland notices it and is jealous. that could explain all the random tension between them lately. also, he spends a LOT of time with andrew and maybe ryland feels left out.
thoughts?!?!
There's a pattern with Shane that people have brought up several times in the past. He has a tendency to throw away friends after a while (hey Drew and Garrett), he obsesses over people for weeks then forgets about them (Bunny, the singer girl, the "hater", the psychic twins), ...
Jeffree, make up, Ryland, even the pseudo-documentaries, all of those are momentary obsessions. They will go away quicker than you think once he'll pass onto the next obsession he can find to occupy his mind.
There's no way his relationship with Ryland can work, because Shane's incapable of having a healthy relationship due to his problems. And it's clear as day Shane is far from ready to acknowlege and work actively at bettering his psychological state, so marriage or not it will not last long.
