It was driving me insane trying to figure out that weird fucking feeling I got watching Clint talk so openly, and at times negatively, with Cobes right next to him.
Then it hit me — he uses him like a fucking prop.
Probably has for years.
Cobes gives him excuse to talk about himself, the trials about raising the tard’, and tries reasoning how this all fucking fell apart. It’s clear he’s always talked like Josh was helpless, trying his ohh so best, and people were just fucking with him — even though Clint was trying his best.
Nothing is Cobes fault. People fuck with him for no reason. He’s just doing his thing.
Some truth in some of this shit but he’s a clear enabler of this fucked up behavior.
He decided that he didn’t want to risk being cut off from Cobes, so he was fine watching him fuck his life up, and more than happy to make excuses.
