Sons of Anarchy | Tig Trager & Venus Van Dam (6x07)
Venus: “I know what this is Alexander. Why you’re with me. You’re a man who dares to dance with the freaks. I perpetuate that deviance for you. Allow you to show the world that you live outside the box. But I know that’s where it ends for us. And I understand. It comes with the terrority of my complicated identity. But my feelings for you are simpler. They live very much inside the box. I’m afraid, Alexander, that I may have fallen in love with you. Tig: "When I’m with you, I don’t have any secrets. I mean, I can’t. I have to open myself up for this. And… you see everything. All the things that I hide. All the shit that I hate about myself. You see it all, baby. You see it all. And through all that, you still love me? Wow. I mean, I never had that ever with anyone. In any box, you know. But when I try to get close, you know, to feel [normal] Yeah. Yes I just, can’t hook it up. But I want to. I want to.
I’m not gonna pretend Sons of Anarchy is some kinda flawless perfect model of progressive writing or anything but it’s heartening to see them address concerns that Tig was only interested in Venus because of his “freaky” tastes with the two of them ending up in one of the more sincere, supportive romantic relationships in the series.
