I'm going to be honest this is such a funny time for this meme to be going around because I'm like "man... It certainly would have helped Walter if he found love... Too bad"
Like I don't want to be a bother because "sex" is not something I can currently handle for this particular game/character even in FTB form (which I also worked up to an interpretation where it is IC) but if "something" (e.g. sloppy makeouts) is acceptable then "something ' could literally happen...
tragically walter is just not old enough for ashton to categorize him as An Older Man. thusly they are uninterested. which is a good thing for both of them,
I was definitely thinking about Ashton with the meme going around, like, certainly Ashton is in the "it would be a bad idea that might piss off some wardens so why not" part of the venn diagram, just other parts are like... What ...
Big ol nope from mine. Three are wardens. Walter has a traumatizing name and is exactly not what he could ever date (Vincent) and Max was turned off pretty much immediately.
Ethan would not date Walter, but he'd definitely sleep with him because of course he would. Hanna at some point probably could have... Varker just staring at this man in cargo shorts, raising an eyebrow and going no
do you want some fashion advice, Walter? you can still have pockets and not look like you're just about to go crash a college party you weren't invited to
Walter's head it's like 17 and under: literally a minor 18-20 years old: still basically a teenager 21-25 years old: alright you still can't rent a car 26-30: you can probably make your own decisions but I have so much more life experience and a kinda pathetic type of it at that, so that's just weird
I still laugh over how wildly different Hanna and Ethan are, being the same age. Ethan is turning 26 this month and while he does understand life experience is important, do you really need to know someone's whole everything to sleep with them? maybe, but he doesnt let that stop him.
I do think if Walter fell in love with a warden it would be very funny and an artistic synthesis but the burn would be so sloooooooow and obviously they'd have to have some kind of standards
Ethan's take is that inmates have things that they believe or choices they feel forced to making that actively harm themselves or would get them killed/imprisoned if they were resurrected and cannot leave until there is a shift to make them understand that. they might not have to change how they think, though some do, but they have to acknowledge-
Walter: as opposed to the wardens who literally are temp killed regularly here, and chose to be trapped here (possibly straight up trapped if they're dead at home). Those decisions were great (Let alone the other possible decisions)
Ethan is here for a very good reason and isnt judging anyone else for their reason, but sometimes he can side eye. he isnt often but he sure can be petty gay when he wants to and sees no reason why anyone needs to be killing anyone else. ridiculous.
Walter is ... probably going to continue to be very weird and petty and spiteful even as he reflects a little. Like he's just never going to see this institution as a good thing, it's a deal with the devil. Maybe even for the greater good (Ethan's case) but with the devil
he wrestles with the morality of the situation all the time, see his issues with Pyotr, trying to be helpful while attempting to not be disrespectful to commanding officer, knowing this place is not great in lots of ways for his boyfriend...
Yelena maintains that the sole difference between people who start as wardens and people who start as inmates is that wardens are egotistical enough to swallow the whole “you’re such a good person, come fix some loser and earn a wish” line whole.

For the record my concept is like, Malcolm and Walter are going to have ANOTHER serious conversation shortly AFTER the current post, and THEN after that has made good progress would be a good time for some kind of Yelena starter. So ROUGHLY two weeks from now
I'm losing it
This is certainly a fraught point in time for both of them
