How can a man like John Green write something as gut-wrenchingly heart-breaking as tfios 

and then throw himself against a wall to test if he is an octopus

just

how

"I caught the edge of her scent: wet dirt and grass and cigarette smoke, and beneath that vestiges of vanilla-scented skin lotion. She flooded into my present, and only tact kept me from burying my face in the dirty laundry overfilling the hamper by her dresser." — Looking for Alaska - John Green (via thedandelioninspring)

• Me (in reference to Will Grayson, Will Grayson): I really don't like Tiny Cooper.
• Liz: EMILY!!!!! TINY COOPER IS EXCEPTIONALLY GAY AND IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING AND HE LOVES MUSICALS
• Me: YES AND ALL THOSE THINGS ARE FABULOUS, BUT HE TREATED WILL GRAYSON LIKE A SECONDARY FRIEND, AND WHEN OTHER WILL GRAYSON WAS DEPRESSED HE WAS LIKE "YEAH WELL I'M SAD SOMETIMES" AND HE WASN'T TAKING HIS DEPRESSION SERIOUSLY. AND ALSO, I'M SORRY, BUT HE WAS REALLY WHINY.
• Liz (she really sent me this whole thing I was AMAZED): But you see, that is his weakness. He has this amazing ability to get such a great grasp on himself and accepting and loving himself for what he is that he hasn't spent much time why other people can't look inside themselves and see their own beauty. In that way, he can be ignorant, but incredibly charming. He wants the best for everyone but he gets caught up in his own world of love. His character makes huge developments throughout the story and you can tell that he is slowly learning that he can hold on to his optimistic ways without subtracting himself from anything negative. That's why his relationship with Will was so awesome. Because Will is negative and Tiny wanted to learn and understand so he can be a helpful and more caring person because that's just how great he is, okay? He is this big gay guy with a heart full of gold trying to figure out the ways of the world. And just because he doesn't make all the right choices on the way doesn't make him an asshole. It makes him real and relatable. Just like the 2 Will Grayson's develop and grow throughout the book, Tiny Cooper does as well. And just because you can't see from inside his head, like you can with the Will Grayson's shouldn't make him a bad guy. I mean that's what the Will's may appear on the outside. We've been reading their thoughts. We don't get the luxury of reading Tiny's thoughts which in a way can hinder our ability to understand him as a character, but John and David want us to use what we learn from the Will's and be able to see from their perspective to learn how to see from Tiny's and understand he is having just as rough a time as them. TINY COOPER IS MY HERO.
