The room is so white…
it’s not a girls like boys who like boys phenomenon, jeff.
this is an obligatory post in response to the interview that eonline conducted with jeff davis. [x]
i don’t like arguing the potential of sterek as canon because it stresses me out. i never know what to trust, what to analyze, or who to look to when if i’d like some reassurance of my OTP’s stance in the show. stressful business.
so, as usual, i’m gonna step over all of that mess and let other, smarter people analyze that. in the meantime, let me address the part of this interview that caught my attention:

As to the psychology of why ‘girls like boys who like boys,’ I haven’t asked enough questions or heard enough to really understand the psychology behind it.
emphasis mine, and what follows is my response to that sentence.
