But here’s the thing that I’ve suspected for some time. It’s an image. I’m not saying he doesn’t care about all of those causes, but he’s using his goody-two-shoes personality as camouflage. A crutch. He’s repressing, fighting, and struggling. Against what? I’m not sure. It’s why I go fucking feral whenever he slips out of his self-imposed shackles and lets his true self show through. He’s still an asshole, but at least he’s not putting on a fake front. At least I get to see the real him.
