FUCK OFF OK I WROTE THIS LITERALLY NONE OF MY FOLLOWERS PROBABLY WATCHED THIS BUT I WANTED TO WRITE IT IM SORRRYYY
finished rewatching trust and i just can’t get over how it’s clear don salvatore thinks primo is an idiot and isn’t capable of anything but leonardo consistently is shown to believe in primo and his abilities; telling regina even the devil himself couldn’t catch primo, telling salvatore that primo wouldn’t take the money and run, and then despite wanting throughout the whole show for everything to b over and done with agrees to work with primo to build the port bc he believes primo will b able to make it happen
i am convinced that primo and leonardo were gonna murk salvatore on that goddamn mountain in episode 8 primo had already decided salvatore had to die after he announced francesco as his heir (bc as far as salvatore knew at that point primo had gotten the money and made them all rich, but it wasn’t enough. primo saw in real time that nothing he’d ever do would change that) anway !!!! this episode was a masterpiece of television
primo has that weird thing in this show that while he’s dangerous and unhinged there’s a strange innocence to him at times, or maybe less innocence and more childlike in some of his mannerisms (namely this scene and the scene where he’s showing off his paper plane mastery) and it’s so telling here is a man who strives for both independence and family acceptance (he tries with salvatore, he rly does, and if salvatore hadn’t named someone else as his heir i bet primo would have been willing to share his vision with salvatore in an attempt to gain that acceptance) which causes him to b in state of limbo, caught inbetween the independence he should have as a man his age and the childish hope of being valued by a father figure that doesn’t care; in this scene, primo is basically acknowledging that he knows deep down that the path he’s going down will result in him being alone, if he jumps (becomes bigger and better) he will b doing it alone bc no one believes in him; i think he’s also scared that this will signal his true independence from salvatore, who he wants to impress and b praised by BUT that’s what makes primo’s ending so satisfying because he doesn’t go alone, his leap of faith pays off, he doesn’t need a blood relative to make his worth real, he has the whole of calabria when so many others in this show end up with nothing
thinking about gail’s line in the last episode that goes “all this happened bc i let a little boy drift away” and how the same can b said for don salvatore; if he had held primo close and accepted him, he wouldn’t have had to die
primo + being alone for @formerlyfebricant
